FWIW, I've not known a single faculty member in STEM who worked less than a 50 hour week-- year round, with about three weeks off (total) during that year. Sounds like working to me.

Tenure-track, my work week was more like what Med students expect during residency. 70hr+. So sure, it felt 'nice' to get tenure and revert back to a mere 50-60. Sure.

IN industry, DH works less than that and earns twice as much.
