While I was going through old files, I found this set of forum threads from 2008 on work-life balance at Bioware:
https://danluu.com/bioware/
I originally ran into these after learning about something called "sympathy crunch" from someone at Bioware, who claimed this was common there. A sympathy crunch is where you end up "crunching" even though you don't have any work to do, stuck at the office because other people have work to do.
