The grind catches up to you. Your body keeps the score, don't let them fool you.

All these asshole managers like Schmidt.



I agree it takes a toll - but you get well compensated for it.


Not really in the grand scheme of things.


Compared to at least as bad, or even worse ‘toll’, for dramatically less pay in literally every other industry and 95% of every other companies in this one? Bwaha.

Have you ever worked in another industry? Retail? Healthcare? Trades? Public safety?

Tech is a walk in the park, relatively speaking.


The tech job never ends.. the others have defined limits and are shift work.


Healthcare? Public safety? Most construction work?

All of them have the same thing going on. Hell, healthcare has even formalized it in some cases into 24+ hr shifts for residents.

In all these industries, there are areas where it isn’t a thing, and areas where it is absolutely a thing. But they do (often) get paid overtime. Not residents though.
