I really pity kids these days that wrap their whole life’s identity in their work, take every minor criticism as a personal insult, every dislike of their product as a personal attack on their self-worth. It’s understandable why it happens, especially with cynical and conniving companies trying their best to be in every facet of people’s lives, from dog walking to kid day care to social activities “after work”. People should really resist these conveniences and separate their work from their lives.
