[Context: below and in quotations is an article of the Washington Post talking about the working conditions at Blizzard Entertainment. Dasho is reacting to it.]
“Previously, it’s ruined relationships I’ve been in where no one wants to date someone who barely has time for them for months at a time, at least once a year, if not more,” said a current Blizzard Albany employee, who described often working 12-hour days. “It’s affected my health, it’s affected my relationships, both familiar and romantic. It affects my ability to just enjoy things.”

If that article was supposed to generate a modicum of sympathy from me, it's pretty piss-poor.
Unless she has a 7-day work week, all I'm reading is she had a lot of weeks where she worked more than 40, but less than 60 hours. I was able to have friends, meet a woman, marry her, and start raising a family while working more and certainly earning far less at the time than she does.
The rest of this "journalism" piece seems to be comprised of opinions of people who just don't like their job in general or the now-oft-used "sources familiar with x", aka "complete heresay."
