I agree with this. As someone who is disabled and can't work beyond 40 hours, it is unrealistic to ask me to work more outside of work as a job requirement. (Including hanging out with coworkers.)
My passion is writing but it's not something I can do full time. Having a day job pays the bills and provides the structure I need to be productive outside of work.
I'm still excellent at my job and helpful to my coworkers but they aren't my life. Jobs, and the relationships with them, end.
- dheera 6y agoTotally agree with you there. I have a medical condition where it's a really bad idea for me to compromise on sleep or exercise, I'm also caffeine-sensitive, still have a shitton of chores to do, have hobbies that are central to keeping me in a positive mental health state, and I'm tired of people taking pride in staying up all night and drinking energy drinks for work because "passion". edit: To be clear, I actually do have passion for my work, but that does not mean I want to be doing it for 60 or 80 hours a week. In fact overworking and turning the rest of my life upside down is a good way to lose that passion.
