I do 6 hrs on a good day, including a long lunch.
My hourly rate is quite something and I've stopped ageing to boot.
You carry on working yourselves to death, the graveyard is full of people they couldn't do without.

9 hours at the client, an hour when I get home, lunch at my desk.
Decent rate though and WFH on Fridays.....

I usually do 10-12 hour days in the office with a 10 minute lunch at the desk, as do most others I've worked with.

I'm talking about total commitment to deliverables. Total commitment. I want to see tears. I want to see people falling out, leaders of men emerge.
I'm talking about fisticuffs outside meetings. No accountability these days. Ownership is frowned upon.
Presenting yourself at the pub after work. No questions asked.
