"Choice to choose a worklife style is upto to the individual. Stopping Individual from achieving their goals is in direct contradiction to freedom to pursuit of happiness."
Some might have goals similar to you. Others might aspire to work a 40-a-week job, be there for their spouse and children and not feel burnt out every day. Yes, there are people like you who might enjoy working crazy hours and being super productive. However, the person who is truly most productive in a 40-a-week job should also be able to achieve their goals without this cultural stigma around working a normal amount of time.
Please note the person who works 8 hours a day sincerely is getting what he is supposed to get.
Also the person who works for 8 hrs + x hrs is getting what he is supposed to get.
If you are saying despite working for ( 8 + x ) hrs he must not get anything extra or he and the guy who works for 8 hrs must both get the same, defeats the very laws of karma.
Besides, The 8 hrs guy has a problem only if gets into comparisons with the ( 8 + x ) hours guy.
The expectation that one must get paid the same but do little work compared to somebody else generally makes a classic case when the individual blames others for merely being lucky for the comparative success.
The 8hour worker is getting what they're supposed to get.
The 8 + x hours worker is getting less than they're supposed to. Often they're doing x hours for free.
There can be several problems with that. Sometimes the company gets a lot of value from the x hours, and sells lots of product for lots of money, but doesn't give any money to the worker.
Or sometimes the worker is doing poor quality work, but getting personal value from the x hours (perhaps seen by managers as being more productive) and the other workers have to fix the errors, but are not seen as productive.

Quite often overtime is unpaid, or is paid at low rates.
