This. There are employers out there who want you at their beck and call at ALL hours. Not because it "improves efficiency / productivity" but because they just want to fark with your personal life to the point where you don't have one anymore. To make you miserable. Being able to control you all the time is what gets them off.

It's flexing power.

Their central pursuit of capital is just the pursuit of power to wield over others.

At scale, beyond meeting personal material needs/wants, that's what capital becomes, power over others.

You can fuck off and indulge all your hobbies in a mansion on the beach for the rest of your life long before you hit a billion dollars, but at those levels you want to influence elections/culture and control ever more people and resources. I consider it mental illness, I wish the rest of our society did as well.
