Absolutely not. As a mid career adult, I shouldn't have to worry multiple roles to make ends meet + travel/save/whatever.
If corporations continue to have record breaking profits, but can't manage to increase wages at inflation + a couple percentages, then it's time for me to limit what I do for them

I did in the beginning, but not anymore. Especially as I see more and more the way companies lay people off or treat people while they are employed as if they aren’t human beings with families and lives outside of work.

Ha! Oh, please. Don't do this. You worked for it.

Simply because the status quo remains 40 hours, 5 days a week, it doesn't mean that with our modern efficiencies, that's the right schedule for every job.
