  I’m pretty sure half these articles are issued by the companies themselves just to get people outraged and talking about this, just so that they can test the waters and see how many people will defend it.

  I certainly hope these people aren’t driving themselves to work with this schedule. In addition I hope no one on it has a heart condition.

  The sweet spot for 12s is in having 4 days off per week. There isn’t time for anything in life on work days except work, sleep, commute. Thirdly, the first day off is a wash. Recovery. Like a nap that simply goes on all day. 12s are great but only with block scheduling and days off.

  This schedule proposal sounds like something out of pre-OSHA, possibly intended to kill people. Live to work, not the other way around.
