Again, saying no to a request to sacrifice all your nights and weekends for a month is not the same as quitting your job. It's certainly not a fireable offence.

They do indeed have places where an employer can reasonably ask an employee to sacrifice his entire life for the company. Those places are nearly all called "Japan", and the employer/employee relationship is very different to that in the USA.

Try enslaving your workers here (or firing them for refusing to be enslaved), and you face an unpleasant lawsuit.
