Not at all. Large organizations are trying to reduce power consumption by
workstations sitting idle overnight, during meetings, lunch breaks, etc.
And if so, this post in the Common Issues area should help
adjust the settings:

This doesn't affect Fedora Server, so if the system is only
used as a server, installing from the Server image instead
of Workstation might help avoid any future changes which are
aimed at laptop/desktop users. (I don't care for this change
either way -- but it's much easier to deal with on a local
system than a remote server.)
Wake-om-lan fits many use cases (user needs network access to
a "sleeping" system. My "daily driver" is an old iMac that lives in an
outbuilding. I often use ssh from a laptop after doing "wake-on-lan".
