We're not talking about life and limb stuff. Your professional responsibility should be in that order. You're being paid after all.

We're not talking about life and limb stuff.

Kinda are, tho'. Stress, burnout, depression, carpel tunnel, strain on relationships, poor diet and lack of exercise, sleep deprivation - these are all things that many companies demand of their employees.

Professional responsibility doesn't supersede social responsibility and personal responsibility.

I already have to make decisions and produce value. If a company is paying me, I will choose to be more tolerant of making such decisions as part of that company's processes and with consideration to that company's needs. However, payment does not obligate me to serve those things. At least, not morally.

Yeah, but it gets into murky waters in jobs with no clear definition of work hours.
