Workaholics

I stayed until late at work last night, on a friday. When I left work, there was still plenty of people working. I can almost see the end of my project, so for me it's okey to work late. But they will keep on working late hours for the rest of their lives. I cannot get my head around it. Am I lazy? Or are they crazy?

One of my friends told me that when he used to work late, he took a taxi home at his company's behalf. But now with the recession, the company won't pay any taxi bills and the boss it forcing his employees to catch the last train before they stop running at midnight.
