Got put on corrective action for refusing to stay until 1am . For the second night in a row. Company was in a bad part of town. Most of the people were just goofing off anyway. Wiped computer. Went home and emailed that I quit.

I’m not giving up time with kids and getting shot so boss can meet a deadline.

This ^ or the fact that such hours usually yield low productivity so are a waste of time. Working long hours just because is not my thing.

Right, every time I felt trapped working on a problem into the evening became MUCH more easy to resolve the very next morning after a good night's sleep and the ability to seek outside help/resources from others who are also at work at that time
