The tone in the article that your employer wants you exhausted is a bit weird. Sure, there are probably a few megalomaniacs that want unchallenged world domination, but most employers are simply ordinary people who want more money by you doing more work. Exhaustion might be a very real effect, but I don't think it is usually a goal of an employer.
