You can always quit your job if you dislike the choice offered. Right, and find a job with completely different terms, which, uh, very likely doesn't exist. This kind of "everything's a choice" BS really bugs me. There are plenty of situations where regulation is the only solution, and I suspect this is one of them. Since employers use willingness to work long hours as a signal of commitment/productivity, very few people get the choice to work shorter hours, even if almost everybody would be happier that way.
