I would think that having to work 80 hour work week would qualify as quitting with a cause and being entitled to unemployment benefits. Isn't it so in US? In any case he could find another job first. Careful reading of the referred article produces "... the salary was right and the benefits were good...", which I suppose is the culprit. Very often that kind of companies [that make employees work long hours] will offer better benefits and higher salary than the company where people work usual hours. This makes it hard to find "better" job [as in being paid more] and to change the job one would have to take 10-20% pay cut. Though, considering 40 vs 80 hour work week, it's not pay cut at all. However, it's still psychologically hard to take pay cut and that's probably what those companies are counting on. Alex.
