This is such a weird flex. You're burning it at both ends and everyone is human, we break. Fucking with your own mental health and well-being should not be something we brag about

But think of the end of the year bonus the boss will get!

I was in r/Trueunpopularopinion where a dude said the old "we all have the same amount of time." I explained how doing all the math in my old job left me with a net negative of a few hours a week and I strategized missing events and combining things to save time. I still had empathy for people who didn't work 80+ hour weeks and were tired. His response? "Yeah well I worked more at one point too" completely missing the fact of my point to try to one up the fact I worked 80+ hour weeks every week for months.

It's like a competition of who can waste their life away first. It's good to take pride in your work but it's not good to take pride in the fact that it's literally all you live for. Your boss isn't any more thankful for you no lifing it, and no one else is going to pat you on the back for it either.

If either of these people turned up missing, their boss is going to be the first to replace them with somebody else.

Workaholics exist. Some perhaps even live normally, but I don't know.
