We only use them to compete with others because others use them to compete with us, keep up or starve. The equilibrium is whatever people are willing to do, strangely meaning that nobody has a choice in this thing that we’ve all chosen.

No idea how to switch to new dynamics so that defecting (in the sense of working less) is the stable equilibrium.

You have to legislate standards. For example, overtime payrate multipliers after 6 hours of work in a day / 24 hours in a week / 4 days in a week. Minimum PTO accrual such that people get at least 30 days per year.

Then this elevates to international and there are nations that just wouldn’t do that.
