I work from home and with my family, and I love what I do (it is my hobby). I don’t ask our staff to work this much and I don’t communicate with them outside of business hours (or after 2pm on a Friday). So, I’m not sure why this is wrong.
I didn’t say anyone was forcing you to do it, I just find it disgusting that we’ve normalized hours like that to the point where it’s talked about like it’s on the low side. “Only 60/week”
I’m glad you can work for yourself, but the overwhelming majority of people who work 60hrs+ are not doing it by choice, and it consumes their waking life.
You do realize that this is a lot of fucking hours to work per week, right? We need to stop normalizing this shit.

But it is normal for me and I don’t think I should feel bad about it.
