I seriously think how do these people who want to work 24x7(minus sleep hours and some errands) face their near ones and what behavioural pattern do they develop towards their close ones. But can guarantee you this, they must have stopped spending quality time and have their relationships reduced to a state where they can only be trying to fill the void by supplying luxuries to their dependants. A very materialistic life.
And I see a pattern. Those who justify the absence of WLB (at least in this profession) are extremely rich people with deep pockets. They should try to get sense of a normal Indian family ecosystem. Maybe then they can realise that their accumulated money, definitely gave them luxuries. But they ended up destroying their lives, along with the lives of those who were twisted and gutted down to accept this culture of no life, only work mattering.
