Sounds like you need to level up your mgmt skills, or choose your team better. It is also important, as a manager, to set the norm that 80 hour weeks are not acceptable and only pulled by inefficient people and companies who cannot plan.

If anyone in my team consistently worked more than 40 hours per week, inluding myself, that is a sign that something is wrong and must be fixed.

My team is fine, 40 hours is the norm. I do work longer hours than that, but not much more unless there's a huge crunch on, which happens maybe once a year.

You make a lot of assumptions about my team, my management skills and the hours we all work. It comes across as patronising; maybe you should level up your soft skills.

Nah, I'm good thank you. You do sound like the typical corporate manager though! ;)
