Story of an intern working for Merrill Lynch dying after working 72 hours straight.
Reminds me of while working for IBM, we worked mandatory 60-80 hour weeks for almost 2 years as an organization. Our bonus was being served dinner on-site (tins of food). Eventually someone died of a heart attack and management pulled back on the mandatory overtime. The project was cancelled shortly thereafter.
Has been talk of a 4-day work week since I was young. Has never happened and never will as long as the dollar is our god.
