I really don't like this post.
The article is shoehorning an agenda and viewpoint in to an ad that is essentially a profile of an unusual person.
I don't like the tone, I don't like the language, and I don't like the judgemental assumptions.
It is obviously written by someone who doesn't know many working creatives, and why some people approach work that way.
And it is assuming that the author knows what is best, and what makes everyone happy, as if there are no variations in people in this world.

I find it a shame a person could think they know better what someone else needs than they do. Condescending. Insulting.
- mafro 10y agoThe author is well known for taking this kind of strongly-opinionated, incendiary stance with his writing.

- jamesblonde 10y agoI happen to agree with the post 100%. The ad is not telling the story of a creative, it's speaking to the mass market. It's creating a norm of live-to-work, not work-to-live. It's created the culture in the US where taking a full 5-days of consecutive vacation days is now no longer the norm in my branch. In fact, it's frowned upon. It was not the workers who decided on that norm - it was thrust upon them by 'conditions'. 'Conditions' are defined by people with power, the powerless must follow them.
