In my company it is very common for some managers and VPs to work 10 to 12 hours a day. some has to travel most of the time and you rarely see them in the office.
we have the misconception that Chinese people are hard-working and the Americans/Canadians are not that working. in fact the Americans and the Canadians are the most hard-working people -- on all levels.
do you know how many Canadians work second job? or third job? One of my friends is the IT director for a small company and he works 12-14 hours a day. He is over 50. in today's world it is just routine to work 12-14 hours day, and for some people it is normal to work 6 or 7 days a week. you go everywhere with your cell phone and laptop and people can track you down even if you are on vacation in some remote area.
you may not want to do the same thing (take only 45 minutes to register for marriage), but you cannot say it is a miserable way of life. there are workaholics by nature and for them work is just another way of enjoying life.
