  You don't compete with people that are willing to allocate more of their time to work. You compete against who can get more work done in the same amount of time. If you work for free why would the employer give you more money? You've already signaled that you don't have self-worth. You get nothing, boss laughs at you, and you think you're indispensable because you worked 60 hour weeks for the last three years with barely anything to show for it besides more work. We shouldn't be required to work less. We should get the benefit of our productivity. If you are more productive you get punished by getting more work thrown your way. >Anyone can find an arrangement where they work less. Sure, anyone can quit their job. I don't see how that's helpful.

      Maybe you do. If I have to compete with them I am not interested in the job.

        You misunderstand, you're competing with both kinds of people in your career all the time. There's no opting out. There's a global pool of talent and it's one big market. But an important corollary is that you absolutely do not have to be at the tip top of that competition to live a good and successful life. It's a global competition, but there are a lot of slots to be filled out there.
