I agree with a lot of this. I like my job, I don't want to be cynically detached from it, but it IS just a job. So much of this so-called hustle culture is a product of us all internalising the values of our exploitative economic system. Left as we are increasingly alone in the marketplace, we feel the need to run faster or get left behind. It's just a job, other things are more important unless you're one of the very rare few who are doing mission critical work, saving lives or looking after people. Work hard enough but sensibly, keep a balance. I promise you that on your deathbed you won't be wishing that you worked even harder.
