I think that's right but my clients have a massive mental load at work that follows them home. (So do I.)

I had that in my previous job too and now you've put it in my mind, I think my boss was seriously burnt out, which really didn't help the team. He's internalized the must be working all the time thing so much that he thinks it's the only thing in his life with value - academia is incredibly unhealthy that way and he's American too.
