Health and wellness are your own responsibility. Everybody wants to blame some amorphous "X" culture for their problems, though.
If you're running yourself ragged at work, ask yourself why you're doing so. If it's because of a perceived social obligation to do so, then it's up to you to recognize it's just that - it's social pressure, not a physical force keeping you at your desk.

- asark 7y agoPlus, if you observe that cultural (economic, political) differences appear to be causing worse outcomes in one society than another, for little to no benefit, then it's silly to just go "oh well, technically people could make individual choices to improve those outcomes, so no reason to worry about it".
- IOT_Apprentice 7y agoExplain that to Amazon warehouse workers who are measured down to the second, with a 3 strikes you are fired for not meeting their merciless actions/minute. There are labor laws for a reason, and we stopped allowing child labor a long time ago. It is not a social obligation in most situations, it is implemented as part of how the company operates and its culture. How are you not aware of that?
- dymk 7y agoOf course I'm aware of that. You're telling me that nobody in that Amazon warehouse who is unhappy has the ability to get a job doing something else?
