Often in some posts I read that they are being overwhelmed or the seniors are asking them to spent more time in the office with work.

Some individuals might wonder isnt it good as it may imply that productivity is getting raised.

But in contrary having a proper work life balance is necessary and being overwhelmed in the job is a negative sign. You need to have time to improve yourself as well for upskilling. With so many news of layoffs, it is in reality important that people value and respect others time for upskilling/welfare.
