Steeped in a workaholic culture that more than once had her
sleeping on the office couch, she was afraid of missing her
school-age daughter’s childhood.
“I discovered how important family was,” she said. So she
quit.

But I don't think we should outlaw, or even demonize workaholic cultures like the one described.
