Should there be a cap on hours worked per week?

Absolutely. Wall Street needs to self-impose 60-hour weeks for analysts and until they do, they will keep missing out on top talent and see lots of talent leave them for smaller venues. I would never work there at the moment (much more because of cultural flaws than the work week, but both are serious issues). I can see 80 as a good next step after this no-work Saturday thing they got going, but there are still far too many cases of triple digits. I only applied to two banks for this summer, and they were not in i-banking roles.

I am a proponent of a 32-hour work week for full-time, so I'd imagine it would be difficult for an hourly employee to go over 70 with two jobs, but if they are getting that high, it's more about their own ambition to earn rather than compete with others as the organization surely doesn't want to pay them overtime. Still, I'd rather see someone with two jobs not going over 60-65 total if they feel they need to work that much to sustain their lifestyle. Really gets in the way of family if that's the route the employee chooses.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about work-week length for every type of person so I'm sure there are holes in that view where it harms someone and I would partially reconsider to help circumstances, but it really ought to be reduced in some capacity.

Anything over 32 hours should be considered overtime and paid a wage at least 1.5 times higher than the regular one. The absolute limit can be around 48 hours.

Lol academics Europeans.

Even though I agree with him, this seemed more appropriate.

Hey, I'm the one who seriously agrees with you Europeans on the work week and criminal sentencing! America is hideously off-the-mark on both issues.

No, obviously there should be a plan worked out through employers, but there shouldn't be any laws limiting work hours. I don't see why people shouldn't have the freedom to work extra hours if they want to.

What you mean is: "I don't see why employers shouldn't have the right to demand extra hours from their employees if they want to", that's far more common than employees begging to work overtime (and even in that instance they are being forced to by the insufficiency of their low wage).

Well, I do see hourly employees begging for overtime. I have and would if permitted to in my current position. The issue is mostly with salaried employees.

Well, OK, that's all good for him, but I doubt most people who work over 50 hours are as happy about that as he was.

I don't think I've ever met any employed person who works less than 50 hours a week, lol!! It's utterly depressing
