It's just not true at all, and seems quite dramatic. A lot of people enjoy working on weekends or putting in long hours some days. When I was younger I would do it regularly, and I certainly don't begrudge or "hate" younger, childless colleagues who do that now, even if they involve me sometimes. Nor did I build myself a "prison". Stop demanding people live their lives how you want them to.

- Konnstann 7y agoI come in on the weekends sometimes, because I'm bored or lonely or have work that needs to be done. I get paid for the privilege and I love my job, and it means I never have to stay past 5 during the week. Granted I work in academia where the norm is to stay till 8:00 and weekend work is necessitated by the projects we work on, but I personally don't have to. If I had a family things would be different though.
