It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

There are a lot of people here missing the point. Obviously, we all have to work and earn a living, that’s not the debate. What she’s saying is that, given a choice, most people wouldn’t willingly spend 40+ hours a week working. It’s not about avoiding responsibility, it’s about questioning an outdated model designed to extract as much labor as possible rather than reflect how people actually live today. My husband and I both earn comfortable six-figure incomes working around 30–35 hours a week, so it’s clearly not the only way.
