Those seem like caricatures of what an HR person would say, rather than what was actually said.

I work at a company notorious for poor work\life balance, and nobody has ever said to me 'we can work <person> harder' in any context.

They say things like 'We value people who are commited to growing the company. If a candidate shows us he's willing to go the extra mile to finish the project he's working on, that's a definite positive indicator."

Ironically, the "we can work you harder" one was the one that I actually saw the email for. :) The others, I admit, may have been paraphrased.

Fair enough. Some company you've been at had a bad HR and recruiting department...
