Why are so many toxic workplaces obsessed with “grit”? I’ve had bosses straight-up say burnout is a sign of commitment, like we’re supposed to be proud of working ourselves into the ground. Shouldn’t we value health, sustainability, and smart work over suffering?

Mind games to get you to work yourself to a crisp for their bottom line.

That's the mentality of the boomer generation to work non-stop and want dedication to the employer. When you refuse to accept that, you're deemed as a lazy employee now. I agree our personal health is more important than complete suffering for work. They just need to decide what's more important, good quality work or dedicated and burnt out employees?
