It is not the hours we put in on the job, it is what we put into the hours that counts.

Now my complaint is there are only 18 hours to work in a day.
When I work, it can be a 16-hour day.
You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.
It's not how many hours you put in with a client or on a project. It's the quantity and quality of your energy - your focus and force - that determine whether that time is valuable.
Managers, regardless of salary, should not be allowed to earn or use comp time. They are expected to work as many hours as needed to get the job done - especially at these salary levels.
Normally, I work 18 hours a day.
By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.
Many people want to scale back their working hours as they near the end of their careers, but not necessarily to give up work altogether.
I usually work 16-hour days.
I say, you work eight hours, and you sleep eight hours - be sure they're not the same eight hours.
