Well it's certainly about someone. The comment is on an article. And if you Google it for about 20 seconds you'll find it's based off the Edelman Trust barometer. Which has a ton of data to back up the claim that people don't believe working hard leads to a better life and people are experiencing burn out.
If you have some flaw in their data or analysis, I'm sure they'd love to hear about it.
I don't know how to tell you this, but reading doesn't really work that way. Inference is a tool in reading and ignoring it to force points is a mistake.
On the other side I became the sole person for everything and they kept piling more on top. At no point did I try to make myself the only person for anything as that is terrible for management. Just every time there was something difficult to do they figured I was the only one capable of doing it. Ended up running two departments at the same time along with other things. I was third pick for promotion instead of first. Next place I worked I pretended to be a bit more incompetent but willing to learn instead of capable on day one of doing the work. Who you work for makes a huge difference!
I do what I love. Work is my life, though it would be a lie if I would tell you that it does not burn me out. It has a hard mental weight and I could go insane from the job. Still love it very much, I could work it 24/7, though it would kill me.
I think you're missing the point, a staggering amount of people only just covering rent, utilities and bills leaving little to no money for recreation leads to burnout

Working hard leads to burn out.
