> The point is that it's insulting and fallacious to claim that people in these careers do not work long hours
This feeling perfectly illustrates two of the core issues raised in the article: that overwork is valorized, and that our jobs should be our identity. If we lived in a world without those values, skepticism over claims of hours worked wouldn't be a cause for insult--and there would be no incentive to even make the claims in the first place.
- nerdponx 5y agoI'm not sure. "You don't work hard" is generally kind of insulting to someone who works hard, valor or no valor.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoIf I'm stressed from overwork and you have skepticism about claims of hours worked that is insulting because you are either claiming I'm a liar or claiming I shouldn't be stressed. The reason why telling a stressed person that they shouldn't be stressed is insulting should be self-evident.
