Wanting work-life balance admits your job is meaningless

No claims on the record.
The other side
Fixed hours exist because demand for labour has no natural stopping point. An employer will always take one more evening. Surgeons and cellists guard their weekends hardest, precisely because the work matters enough to need a rested body behind it. Sleep is not a confession. A marriage kept alive is a second thing worth building, and time is the only currency it accepts.
