Is this a consequence of planting trees or of working at a breakneck pace for an abusive employer?

  It's the consequence of being paid by the tree, instead of by the hour. It's the best way to do it but it does take its toll.

    If the “best” way to do it is via a method which would discourage us from trying at all, we should change the definition of “best” to one that does not result in PTSD.

      Well it's a go at your own pace sort of thing. Entirely self inflicted.
