I wish we could just go back to doing the work and going home. The workplace is increasingly a substitute for almost every aspect of your life, from socializing to morality. I don't want to start my own company just to avoid the mental baggage and cult-like environment, but it seems that is becoming the only option. Sorry for the cynicism, I really tried to be positive for most of my career but it's all very tiresome.
