>..."work hard, play hard" is a red flag phrase. In my experience, it appeals to a certain segment of employees. That is, young single employees who get most of their social interaction at work. In that context, it seems to make some sense to work long-ish hours and also stay "at work" late attending company parties and such. They don't really have anything to go home to, so work becomes like a second home. But for employees with more attachments, I agree. Then you just want to put in your time doing something you like and go home.
