>Why would anyone willingly work at a job like this. Why is this ever accepted to be a good thing. I've done this as well, I've worked 9-9 at a startup and have come to the conclusion that I was extremely wrong to ever accept this kind of thing.
You don't need to work at a job for 12 hours a day to wind up spending more time with your coworkers than with your partner though. I work 9-5, my partner works 10-6. I leave before she is awake and when I get home we have about 6 hours before we go to bed. So yeah, people willingly work at jobs like that because they are...normal jobs.
>lmao this is an amazingly stupid excuse that makes no sense
Makes sense to me. Anyone who gets up and walks out of an interview because they were asked what they liked to do for fun is probably not someone you want to waste your time with.
