Sorry, I think Matthew Turner’s answer to “Can I cut down on my time at work?” is extremely unhelpful (Dear Matthew January 18).
To say that a culture of long hours is “the norm”, and then justify this stance by comparing architects with (vastly better paid) corporate lawyers is pretty galling.
The culture of long hours of unpaid overtime is perpetuated by the establishment’s acceptance of it, as you demonstrate by saying it “goes with the territory”.
Articles such as this should be advocating fairer remuneration and a healthier work-life balance.
