Quite,
the way it works in that way is, if you've got too much work to cope with then a decent manager will recognise this and get more staff to help, or if they can't afford more staff but the work is still piling up, then your business is flawed in some way and will fail.

Conversaly if there is too little for you to do and you end up being able to take loads of slack days off, then you get made redundant because your job clearly isn't needed.

Most people probably have a balance where some days you're really busy and end up working late, and other days you get to knock off early to make up for it.

Swipe is clearly the exception with her stupid long hours, but she gets paid millions of pounds so she can just suck it up.

Couple of my friends also choose, with their jobs
to work 14+ hours a day for 6 days a week for massive reward, with the intention of retiring at 40. Not how I'd do it, but I can see why you might. As you say, it's all about balance.
