How many hours have you worked the last 3 weeks?
one day a coworker came over to my desk and said

"The guy I was interviewing just asked me what time I come into work in the morning! Can you believe the nerve? I don't think that's a good sign."

... and that's when I realized that we had some serious overworking-culture problems and I needed to get out of there.

Ha, thats one of the top questions I ask employers: What's the usual hours? Seriously, I'm not gonna work my ass 10-12 hours a day for any company unless there's a huge reward at the end - looking at you Facebook, post IPO, Speaking of which, I'd be pretty pissed if I was a FB employee seeing 16 billion being thrown at a handful of people, while I'm working my ass off.
