    Agreed but employers don’t care. They are the ones with the power. Having you work 60 hours a week is a means of control. If you quit there is a line of people out there that’s willing to take the job. Employers know this and exploit it.

    If you think you can change this power dynamic then go for it, but there are too many desperate people out there for that to happen.
