I work in one of the big 3's. we do crazy things too, its just that gizmodo isnt interesting in any of it :D I tend to walk in at 9 or 10 am and walk out of 7 or 8 pm. Our culture isn't any different than tech industries (maybe a little exaggeration there) I find it a little intriguing when people label(mislabel) a particular industry.

edit - one of the big 3 automakers

Sounds like a shitty place to work.

How so?

It's fine if you work 4-day weeks. (36 to 44 hours)

With a 5-day week, you're working 45 to 55 hours. That wears on you. It could be OK if the pay is unusually good.

I'm a big advocate for work life balance, but since when did 40 hours/week became the single universal limit for everybody? Humans are not that standardized.

40 hours isn’t the standard. France does 35 and gets better productivity per hour because of it
