> Can definitely attest to everything else you've said. There is also an element of people not wanting to go home often because they have parents living with them (young and old) or their home life isn't all that appealing. I always wondered why the overtime culture wouldn't slowly fade out as I imagined that top employees would certainly demand to work fair hours resulting in employers having to adjust in order to hire quality staff. The aspect you mentioned could explain why nobody, including employees who could afford to do so, is really pushing for sane work hours. On the other hand it's hard to understand that employers and employees alike aren't able to see that the current working conditions are neither healthy nor very productive - there's no way you're anywhere close to your full potential at the end of a 10 or 12 hour shift.
