It's very stressful to work all day, then go to the hospital all night. I don't want to see her doing that.
People shouldn't work a minute past five. You shouldn't want to steal people's time. It's literally theft.
Five days a week/40+ hours a week is absurd. I hope this new generation keeps forcing change.

Fair enough, that's your opinion. I don't think 5 days a week / 40 hours a week is absurd (in fact, that is completely normal almost everywhere), but that's just me. I love what I do though.
I can agree on the working past 5 thing, no one has to do it of course. But when you're on salary though (not hourly), and you have deadlines, and the work quality isn't terrific... I dunno. This is where I've put in that extra effort in my career, and it's paid off handsomely.
