Lets not go down this road. This is like the guns don't kill people debate.

  Maybe - but maybe mhurran is right - I've definitely been the guy that works weekends at the job where no one works weekends. It's not healthy - and work life imbalance is usually driven by others, but sometimes not. And to fix it you need to figure out what the cause is. Looking at yourself shouldn't take that long if your job is the problem, and if you are the problem well you should attack that. In my case working myself to the bone was not a healthy response to a bad breakup but admitting that took some time.

  I agree with the earlier post. We need to all be responsible for our own contribution levels. At the end of the day, each of us chooses how much work to put in, and a tendency to overdo it will follow us from one job to the next unless we admit we're directly, albeit unconsciously, enabling the imbalance. Granted some workplaces will ask more than others, but it's absolutely a two-sided deal.

  When did it become that you are not responsible for your own health? He is not a slave that has to jump when the whip is cracked.
