    Having worked in the automotive industry for much of my career, I can tell you that working in excess of 40 hours per week is standard. I also worked 40 hours/week in the office and did probably another 10-15 from home, monitoring help desk tickets, etc. But that's life in a global company. And during launch season (when companies are launching new products/vehicles/parts) is horrendously busy. People just don't look at the clock and go home - they stay and get the work done to get vehicles and products launched on time. When my past company launched new business software everyone worked long, late hours. We did it because we had to get the system up and running so that parts could be produced, and every part of the system could work. It's about doing work and being proud of completing great projects.

    Scott (my husband) is a business owner, and in the first 6 or so years, he and his business partner worked 80-100 hours per week. It was the way it is. If you need to talk to a supplier in a different time zone, you do so. You just don't look at the clock and say "I'm done for today." But those years of him working those long hard hours are over. Also, it's not all about the money - it was about building a business, providing jobs for other people, developing relationships with customers, designing new parts, helping overseas companies get in the door with American companies, and yes the money was nice, but if you think it's all about money - it's not.

    Musk designates 'cis' and 'cisgender' as slurs, says Twitter to suspend users for using them
    "Cis" and "Cisgender" are terms popular with trans individuals to reference those whose gender identity aligns with their biological sex.
    Musk designates 'cis' and 'cisgender' as slurs, says Twitter to suspend users for using them | Just The News

    Twitter owner Elon Musk on Wednesday declared that the platform considers the terms "cis" and "cisgender" to be slurs and confirmed that the social media platform would suspend users for harassing others with the designations.

    "Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words 'cis' or 'cisgender' are considered slurs on this platform," Musk said.

    His declaration came in reply to conservative commentator James Esses lamenting the onslaught of critical messages he had received from trans activists using the term in a pejorative manner.

    "Cis" and "Cisgender" are terms popular with trans individuals to reference those whose gender identity aligns with their biological sex.

    The announcement drew mixed reactions in the comment section, though those in favor seemed to generally outweigh those opposed. Musk responded to one user who highlighted the backstory of German sexologist Volkmar Sigusch, who coined the term, and his past statements on pedophilia.

    "Yup, the contemptible creep that manufactured the term 'cis' has serious problems. Ignore him,"
    was Musk's reply.

    Well the biblical standard is 12 hours a day, 6 days a week which is 72 hours and God hasn't changed.

    As has already been noted if 80 hours a week is too much for you (Assuming that your assertion is true) then by all means find work elsewhere and in any case he compensates his employees VERY VERY well .

    The people you should be worried about are the folks that want to make it illegal to work more than 35-40 hours as some of your European socialists are proposing. That is a ticket to WHOLESALE poverty and nothing more
