Work/life balance applies to people who would ordinarily not do their work if they did not have to.

That binary classification doesn't make much sense. What amount of work? I'm pretty sure many people would willingly work 10-15 hours/week (or 24/32/whatever) even if they didn't have to, but not necessarily 40.

I assure you, I will never stock shelves, deal with abuse at a register, drive a hilo, work in a factory, touch Windows, etc. if I don't get paid to.
