: same in my programming job. This is just the way they think. WE are not even
: a big company, but if you are only working a 10 hour day people look at
: you funny (even if you go home and only work on work stuff because they
: give you so much you can't finish it in a single day). It's really
: disparaging and personally makes me want to just be a cook or cleaner, at
: least they are generally happy.

I wouldnt go that far. Talk about restless nights not knowing if you can pay your bills.... That's one thing that bugs me about our society today. If someone chooses to work that hard and become sucessful they may be scorned for their resulting lifestyle. I understand what tbis article is conveying, but these guys are welcome to go somewhere else... and the turnover rate shows that.

I'm a mortgage loan originator and I can tell you it's similar. You need to put 70 hour weeks in if you want to see excellent results. I can see how a game programmer would be holding up others if he/she didn't complete their assigned task.
