That's the thing though. It's up to you to decide whether you're getting paid a fair amount for your services. You're working more than the standard 40 hour week, but is it worth it? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. The beauty of the free market is, you can always look for something else.

I'm not trying to put you down for complaining about 56 hour weeks. I wouldn't like it either. But honestly, it could be much worse. If you decide to move on, be careful about it. Have something solid lined up in writing before you jump, and never, ever badmouth the place you came from.
