This is true, but can I just pay devil's advocate here. What if you're exceptionally stoic and enjoy learning things in your spare time? If you're emotionally stable enough and a hard worker outside of your career, you might want to just grow yourself a nest egg (pension, housing, shares, etc.) or make as much money as possible to provide for your children/wife/hedonism. Also, it's a good thing to learn how to placate toxic personalities and to be low maintenance. Not saying that it's easy, but I wanted to say this because I think people assume too readily that their own personal comfort is the most important thing when they take a job. Personally, as my emotional health has gotten better and I've made deeper connections with people, I've prioritised very different things than my younger self.
