Last quarter I worked 55-hour weeks to hit a launch deadline. I was exhausted, but I also felt proud of what we accomplished. Now any busy stretch gets called burnout. Are we losing the distinction between temporary intensity and chronic exploitation?

I think they dovetail so often that it's hard to tell. Chronically exploited people go through periods of temporary intensity. Many such chases.

That sounds exhausting to me, definitely exploitation to make you work that much!

Guys i am switching jobs for first time so need your help
Company x offered me 9 LPA
Company y offered 11 LPA

I want to join company x more due to their tech stack, culture etc. It's also an established product based company while y is service based.
How do I initiate negotiations with x? I have plenty of time left in notice, but x also requested to join early (if previous company releases, with buyout+bonus) for which I have discussions next Wednesday.
