And even in the USA they are not. I never work more than 40 hours, have ample time off, and am never under very much stress at work. If things don't get done today, well they will be there tomorrow. Now granted, I don't make the money that I used to make at a 60+ hour a week startup with weekends and all-nighters not uncommon. But it's worth it, and it's still enough to live on comfortably.
