Looks like we've reached a verdict.
I don't think I'm going to bother talking to them about it. I think I'll just look for another job. Seriously, a lot of those people are workaholics and probably wouldn't care anyway. One guy I work with puts in 80-90 hours a week and really seems to like the job.
I guess it's a career choice and not really a good 'sumemr job'.
