Not even then, long term. Birth rates in China and Japan are really bad in part because of toxic work cultures like this. If you spend all your waking hours at work you can’t go out and meet a partner to start a family with. It’s just a practical problem. If you’re at work 12 hours a day and sleep 8 hours a day you have 1-2 hours in the morning to get ready and go to work and 1-3 hours at night to go home and get ready for bed. You do get a day off, but you’re probably so exhausted on that day off you don’t want to go anywhere. There is simply no time to go meet a romantic partner if you’re working that much.

“you’ll meet your partner through the pool of people you work with. Now get back to work! No talking!”
