the only people who want to put in longer hours at the office have absolutely nothing to go home to.

they should be pitied instead of being vilified. drop them a "get well soon" message in social media should you encounter them.

Usually they're also the people who don't do anything... I don't know how many I've run into and ask what they're working on, only for them to give me a "catching up on email or cleaning up" response. They're just wasting time, hoping to look good.

"Catching up on emails" is something you must do and can take a lot of time depending on your role and circumstances, though. My interepretation of this answer would depend on if the answer is for "what I'm doing right now" or "what I've been working on today".

Nah. It’s leaders like this moron that are just looking to make money off your hard work. Get going, you have billionaires to please!

Some of us work our asses off because we're passionate, but don't pressure our coworkers to do the same... It's a phase like most things are. If I ever get a management position in my current industry, I won't expect after-hours responses/work...
