Simone says this mindset can lead to burnout, and tying self-worth to productivity. Simone spoke about stories from workers, sharing how their personal identities became too intertwined with their jobs, and vice versa. He also talks about how work environments can put too much pressure on the employees, leading them to accept smaller wages and longer waits. After reading the article, I did agree with the points he made. I have never had a full-time job, so I truly don't know what full burnout feels like. But I have watched my parents experience it. My dad recently left a job he has had for 12 years because he is overworked and underpaid. I sit down to have dinner with him at 7pm and he is still getting calls from work. In modern times it's praised to be busy all the time, and be on your "grind". He perfectly illustrated this point, and changed my mindset a little bit. I struggle with feeling like I'm not working hard enough or being as productive as I should be. I enjoyed this piece of writing.

I think this is something I am passionate about. I've always been interested in the human brain and how we think and work. I'm still figuring out my career path. Unfortunately, the pressure is slowly starting to build, and the responsibility is starting to pile up. I think passion should play a role in everyone's career, but unfortunately, that's not an option for everyone. I think its important to at least like what you do, even a little bit. If you hate your job, everything else will start to blend. Then it feels like you never get a day to relax. I think the more passion a person has for their job, the less important the pay is. I love my job and have so much fun there, but I don't make a lot of money. It doesn't bother me because of the passion I have for it. I think many people would agree with me.
