Too much of our identity is tied to our employment.
Add to it the fact that our economic system is inflationary (and badly measured at that), not working literally causes one to fall behind.
So no one can actually take time off to do something different, cultivate lasting relationships, join a guitar club, play stupid games, travel, spend time with kids, spouses, family etc. without FOMO on inflation and career.
