52. Not been pulling all-nighters (okay maybe once or twice in exceptional circumstances that were also appreciated as such by the management after) as I've always believed your point to be right. If you're not (in part) owning the company then it should not be your life unless you don't have one and don't care. To each his own but an environment where overtime is the norm (even if driven by employees themselves) is not a healthy place to be when you have a family. Besides, when a company is so successful to need more than the normal hours available then the onus is on the leadership to hire more people; it's in their best interest to not have to rely on such devotion. ...and if crunch-time is instead caused by the company _not_ being successful and not having the money to hire people then toxicity is pretty much guaranteed in short order.
