I just left IBM after a few years, they had an internal practice that assumed you worked 60 hours a week on a 40 per week position. This in fact was policy for my level. After two years of supporting their aging systems, and archaic business practices I quit. I worked every weekend during normal change windows of 12:00 AM to 4:00 AM, after two years I was so burned out that I needed an intervention from my wife, in the form of, lose the job or lose me. The sick part of this being that I don't even need to really work, I just enjoy iy.

Fast forward to today, it's Friday, and I'm just surfing at work. After switching jobs I found out that I never get called at night, or on the weekends. The place I went to has a completely different corporate culture. So I guess the moral of the story is, the grass may be greener on the other side.
