I am able to walk out the door after eight hours. I have to be. I have two kids, who I'd never see if I worked 60 hours per week, not to mention other activities--reading, running, writing--that I enjoy. I'm fortunate that my employer is very flexible and supportive of my family life--and of course, when longer hours are required on the work front, I'm happy to do what it takes to get the job done. If it routinely takes 60 hours a week to get the job done--and you're not getting paid overtime--it sounds like your company is getting two employees for the price of one.
