That's sad.
In the two months up to his death, the man averaged more than 80 hours of overtime per month, according to Mizuno.
Which is why I'm not all that upset I lost my old job. There were times I did that in 2 weeks, although my yearly average was ~450 hours overtime. 37.5 hours per month.
That seems so minuscule compared to his overtime, after putting it into perspective.

i feel sorry for the guy, he never even had time to spend with his family, when he was he was sleeping.
Hell before my wreck I was working at least that many hours of overtime between the two jobs! 40+ hour week at one and 16 hour weekends at the other every week!
and what did you do in your free time? recover for the next day of work.

I read the story a few days ago...sure I'm sorry the guy passed...but it wasn't from working 80 hours of overtime in a month. I bill 60-70 hours EVERY single week. That's 240-280 hours a month. "Normal" 40 hour work week would give you 160 hours a month...meaning I work 80-120 overtime hours EVERY month. Big deal. The guy passed from a heart attack...not a few more hours of work...it is a legal ploy to get the guy's family some money.
Moral of my story...
Don't be afraid of a little hard work...it won't kill you...and it will allow you some cool toys (see avatar)!

I've been going 50-60hrs/week for the past 4 years, and taking calls at night on top of that. I work for the American subsidiary of a Japanese company...Hmm, hey I'm being had!!
Man, I am tired, though. The sort of tired you don't get over in two weeks of vacation. We've been in "startup" mode since mid-2004, and I'm feeling it. I can never just walk away for any length of time without issues popping up- and that sucks.
