My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

Only one generation got to do that though. The post war generation with strong unions. Before that, but like now, unless you were rich, every damn person in the family worked, including the kids and if you were lucky by the end of your 70 hour work week you had enough to pay the rent and feed everyone.

70 hour work week This isn't some default. If we push it back even further, 40 hours / week would seem pretty high.

Would be nice to progress, at any rate.
