Working long hours has become a status symbol in the US.
Sometimes that example is set by a company's top executives, who are in the office from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., then sending emails until midnight.

True, most of these execs log on before and/or after they're physically in the office, but they value flexibility in terms of hours and location - not only for themselves, but also for their employees.
