It sounds like a joke, but honestly, not far from the truth. No employer would ever come out and dictate a 100 hour work week. But, rest assured, one you got in the job, you'd know real quick what the culture or the expectations are.
That is a joke, personally though there's really no min wage or hourly working requirements by law but as a business person I would feel embaressed to offer a position like this and feel its unethical to ask someone to put in that many hours, especially for that pay. Many people strive for a salary job as its thought of as more professional or higher paying but you really need to look at the hours your putting in. On a 9-5 mon thru friday job 40k is pretty good. If your putting in 60+ hours a week its terrible and even worse at 100.
When I first graduated from college I got a job offer 42k which was pretty good this was in the downturn in 07 and 08. Probably was I was going to be working basically from like 3am til late afternoon so long hours. Figuring the hours this came down to like $11 an hour. There's a lot of other jobs I could go get for $11 an hour.
maybe for a week, then I would drop the hours in half.
