    I have a co-worker who took a position up in Canada recently - he's a beast who often puts in 70 hour weeks as a CMO. His one big comment on the Canadian workers is that they are all very aware of the hours they work per week. I think he said when they get to around 39 hours for the week, they sort of indicate that they won't be available since they're almost at their limit.
    Does that make sense, and is it the case?
