Please don't blame your colleagues (or yourself) for the fact that we live in a society and a time period in which corporations and academic institutions expect employees to work long hours that leave little time for work-life balance, but to be paid for a work week that is 35-40 hours on paper. That pretense is how many companies have managed to achieve record productivity and profits while unemployment remains high. I'm sure employers are delighted when they see employees fighting among themselves, instead of cooperating to push for better working conditions for all, and for government policies that help workers and families as much as they benefit employers and investors.
