I'm kind of a workaholic, I can't stand not working, but at the same time I value my own time. I work as hard as I can throughout the day, but as soon as it's time to go off work, that's what I do. Unless there's something I really have to do, I won't work overtime. If I work efficiently during the day but job keeps piling up, then that means my employer is giving me too much work, not that I'm not efficient. Working overtime frequently would merely make me too tired. One time is no big deal, but several times in a week is unreasonable. I do think that 68 hours a week is way too much though. They'd be better off lowering working hours and politicians finding a way to make it cheaper to have employees, to instead have more employees instead of longer working hours. However, the expenses go further than just salaries, so it makes sense for them to rather make people work for longer instead of getting more employees.
