I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies.

Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
