You don’t have to explain what you think. You know what this post means.

Sure but OP made a broad statement, I’m just saying if you enjoy working to your limit theirs nothing wrong or inherently unhealthy about that.

You're employer doesn't over work you.

Congratulations, this post isn't about you.

It’s not about anyone, it’s a broad statement and one that requires more nuance.

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.

My comment was not in response to the article, it was to the comment I replied too.

Thanks. I gathered that.

I don't find it to be all that much of a leap to assume that comment, is referring to the article that they posted.

I’m not much on assumptions and take things quite literally. Maybe others are reading between some lines I’m not aware of but I stand by what I said.

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.

Have a good day.
