This sounds like a cultural problem, either just in the company(ies?) you worked at or in the geographical region you are in. Your best bet would be to either reach out to contacts within a prospective workplace and get to know the culture well before accepting any offers. If you literally can't find any companies willing to hire you that don't have awful working practices, you can try relocating if it's possible for you.
E: To be broader - it's not just geographical region, but also domain, company size and org structures that are good predictors of how work cultures will be.

- square_usual 6y agoOof. That's awful. Even here in India, where my perception is that the work culture is relatively worse, I've had very good luck with smaller, more tight-nit companies. If you feel burnt out and have money saved up, I'd say you should take a good, long vacation between jobs, and try to put off figuring this out for a while.
