>>You are welcome to do as you please.

Personally, I wouldn't even go that far. Some choosing to give up their personal life in exchange for always-on work life push the needle into normalization for the rest of us that DON'T choose that.

Kind of like how social mores and corporate policies against supervisors having romantic relationships with their underlings protect not only employees who do not want to be pressured to date their managers, but also the colleagues of an employee who otherwise would try to get an edge by sleeping with the boss.

You're suggesting that some people shouldn't be allowed to work harder than others?

Good question.

Not necessarily, but I think the crux of your question w/r/t my statement is the distinction between "workaholic" type behavior and "working harder".

Would I suggest that a company shouldn't ALLOW it's FT/exempt employees to work over, say, 45hrs/week? Hell yes! Mandated work-life balance sounds great.
