I work for a large online retailer for 10 years and I can assure I never worked more than 40 hours per week in that time period, and I've been part of the on-call rotation for half of it.

And besides, overworking software engineers is a stupid waste of money because our productivity starts going to shit even before the 40 hours, let alone on overtime.
