As a resident in the hospital (a couple years ago) I worked 100 hours a week and there were others on the team who were putting in more hours than I was. I think the hours are similar at some law firms. Honestly I find it hard to believe people actually exist that only work 40 hours a week.

I am sorry to give a reality check, but there are plenty. making even more bucks in 20 hours than some residents in a hospital in 100 hours. so for me its hard to believe there are people putting in 100 hours for their employer for free (guess your contract says 40 hours)

I'm one.

Why would I do more?

It’s not a true incredulity I expressed, it’s that in the middle of it all 40 hours a week seems very distant.
