Or has business/marketing/office work always been a race towards more & more hours? 2) Upper management at our company work 6+ days a week, have sacrificed their family lives for the past 15 years to build the company, and in general are not a fun bunch. Is it worth trying to change the corporate culture one step at a time, or should we just give up? Two questions:

Surely the job itself should be the greatest contributor to your happiness at work. I am thinking of Csikszentmihalyi's work on Flow.
