There's something that never sits right with me with the constant status-anxiety go above and beyond, nothing is ever enough hustle/schmooze culture. Part of me thinks "hmm well that's how the most successful/high status people in society do it/favor so it must be the way things ought to be", but who knows. To me, it seems to maximize for the appearance of competence and relative importance, and thus favors political/aggressively social types over anyone with a reasonable desire for work life balance, and not just because they have the audacity to demand time to themselves, but giving your body/mind time to rest improves the quality of your work.
