Never underestimate the ability to detach from work when you aren’t at work. My bosses position became available for me to apply but I refused because he constantly was answering emails over weekends and after hours. While the extra pay would have been nice it wasn’t nice enough to miss all the hours that would have interrupted my family time.

Another possibility is to accept the job position and try to change the workaholic culture from the inside, benefiting many people. I know, not easy.
