This article is spot on. It will upset some people, but you aren't to blame for our toxic work culture (especially here in the USA). Whether folks want to hear it or not, success comes with sacrifice. Sure, you can rebel against the machine, log off at 5 pm sharp, and spend time with friends and family. And sure, that may be the healthier alternative over working all day and night. But the reality is that there will be others who choose to relentlessly pursue their professional goals at the expense of their own personal time, and it will be those folks who get "your" promotion or "your" dream job.

It's a personal choice at the end of the day, and for those who choose to work at their highest levels, this is a perfect guide. Well done.
