> I was on call for five years. It nearly broke me - but this article is just whining

You admit you worked a job for five years that "nearly broke you". You do understand that life is not supposed to be about how much punishment you can endure in exchange for money, right? There are ways to pay your bills that don't involve inducing physical and mental health issues?




Sure, but what's a reward without a challenge?


A sane and healthy lifestyle. Do you have Stockholm Syndrome?


Bullshit. Reward without challenge is the fast-track to complacency and feelings of entitlement.

When this is done to a child it's called "spoiling" them - for good reason.


I've worked jobs that have challenged and fulfilled me without "nearly breaking" me.


I'm sorry someone hurt you.
