Answer :

answer:Some people often just find themselves more comfortable with working overtime. Also, some people have something called an “inferiority complex” which, from what I understand, is when they don’t think they deserve the success they have, and so they may work overtime to compensate for this mentally. In other words, who knows? Different people work in very, very different ways.
