Frankly, I don't believe you.

Telecommuters like to count as work every minute they have their PC.

Executives count in any minute they're awake, cause even running around with a cup of coffee or having a chat on the toilet is "work".

Regular employees count the sheer presence, regardless of standing outside smoking, drinking coffee with others (that's called meeting), or just browsing slashdot (called recherche).

If you start logging what you really do in those 60/80/100 hrs you most likely will notice that you get done no more than the average worker, eventually even less.

The only people I believe being truly working those insane hours are doctorate candidates in their final year and/or before conference deadlines.
