* ''Series/MadMen'': Peggy spends much of the series shunning the active pursuit of romance in favor of her rise as a copywriter. She even blows off her own birthday dinner to stay behind at the office and work through a case of writer's block with Don. [[spoiler:She does end up with Stan and a respectable position at [=McCann=] in the end.]]

* ''Manhwa/TheMonstrousDukesAdoptedDaughter'': After being adopted into the Salvator home, Leslie is so, so eager to please Duchess Salvator and complete the tasks given to her that she studies until the crack of dawn then goes on with her day, hiding her fatigue. This causes her to have nosebleeds, something she says happened at the Speràdo house, where she was frequently made to study to a similar extent. The moment Salvators find out, the Duchess orders Leslie's room be cleared of all candles and books, the library be locked, and poor Leslie herself be forced on a vacation to rest. They relent only on letting her have letter-writing materials so she can write her uncle and Sir Konrad.

* Literature/{{Discworld}} has Sam Vimes, [[DaChief Commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch]], is never truly off-duty. He's made an enormous effort to delegate and be home at a reasonable hour since becoming a father, but it still takes a direct order from the Patrician (likely encouraged by Sybil) for him to consent to an actual vacation.

* ''Manga/DeathNote'': During the first arc, [[Characters/DeathNoteLightYagami Light Yagami]] devotes all of the time that he's not working on work for school or cram school to killing criminals as Kira; in the anime, he turns down offers to hang out with other students, something Ryuk comments on. And let's give the kid some credit: keeping up four girls at once isn't exactly easy, even if it is for a relatively brief period of time.
** And in the second arc, when he's balancing his jobs as L and Kira, he often goes without sleep to keep his schemes running smoothly. At one point, Matsuda calls Light's ability to work endlessly "amazing."

* ''Fanfic/IllFindHimPursuitAU'': In the Nuclear ending, [[spoiler:Aubrey]] is so traumatised by the rapidly-deteriorating situation that led to [[spoiler:Sunny's suicide, everyone else's subsequent deaths, and her stumbling upon Basil's mutilated corpse]] that she throws herself into as much work as possible to carry on their memory. She takes on so many shifts that [[spoiler:she dies passed out from exhaustion, her last moments spent struggling to get back up.]]

* Haru in ''Anime/PokemonConcierge'' is a former office worker. Despite being told multiple times that not much is required of her on her first day at her new job as a concierge (since it was her first day, she is treated more like a guest), Haru spends the entire day feeling ashamed for being so relaxed, second-guessing if she is doing enough. She pulls an all-nighter making a flowchart report about her supposed work ethics. She thankfully grows out of this mindset by the end of the second episode.
