I'd never do that. It's basically putting your career at a higher priority than your life. Or confusing the two. Confucius was dead wrong: anything you must do per definitonem cannot be enjoyable, exactly because you must do it, therefore it always carries a hint of a fear and threat. At high school I hated the novels that were mandatory to read even though I was reading a lot of very similar novels for fun. But the mandatory novels carried a hint of threat and fear: if you don't read them you'll get bad grades, not get into a uni, end up flipping burgers, etc. And this threat and fear spoiled them. And this is what spoils _every_ job, no matter how fun it might otherwise be. Once someone tells you you gotta receive two blowjobs every day or get fired, you'll hate getting blowjobs, I'm sure of that. Therefore, accept that your job sucks, simply because it's job. Simply enjoy your hours after work. And enjoyment usually doesn't mean socializing with people who have nothing interesting about them except that they are in the same industry as you.
