I've worked 80hrs per week. It does happen. The reason for the work was the company was taking off and there was a huge "pull" to do more hours. Every hour of work would produce great returns.

It's probably impossible to "push" 80hrs of work a week on a startup that's not working , or you're trying to get it off the ground.

Yep, came here to say this. Burnout is a thing, and it happens when people work 60+ hours a week for 6+ months (estimate). If people didn't actually work their butts off for that long and were just 'wasting' time, what is commonly known as burnout would just be sleep deprivation.
