Another user expressed concern, saying, “This approach is likely to result in heart issues, stress-related problems, mental and psychological issues, marital conflicts, parenting challenges, and anxiety.”

A third user pointed out, “The International Labour Organization suggests an average of 52 working hours per week. Working 70 hours weekly is possible but can have consequences.”
