I don't recall reading some rule that the only way to solve difficult problems is to work on them for 80 hours a week. Sure, one can WORK for that long, but I'm not convinced about double-time as the best route to the SOLUTION.
Someone needs to tell those folks at Goldman Sachs and Bank of America, though, because this was recent news:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/17/us-goldmansachs-interns-idUSKBN0OX1LA20150617Goldman has told its new crop of summer banking interns they should be out of the office between the hours of midnight and 7 a.m. during the week.
Goldman and other banks have taken steps over the last several years to encourage junior employees, known as analysts and associates, to take time off in a profession notorious for all-nighters and 100-hour work weeks.
The moves came after the death of a Bank of America Corp intern in London in 2013 fueled concerns over working excessive hours. It was later revealed the intern died of natural causes.
Soon after, Goldman told its junior bankers to take Saturdays off and also formed a task force to address quality of life issues.
Bank of America said at the time it would recommend junior employees take off a minimum of four weekend days per month.
Note the minimal, inconsequential nature of the efforts being made by both organizations.
