#37: You Better Work
Every country has different expectations around work. It’s safe to say that the United States’ work culture is pretty toxic. So many people feel pressured to work nonstop to progress in their careers and pay their bills. Overtime and unpaid hours of labor are the norm, not the exception. But why?
It doesn’t have to be this way. People need time off the clock to recharge and take care of themselves. Also, hardly anyone wants to miss out on their kids growing up because they have to work late every day. It’s not a sustainable system. We know a lot of people hope workaholic work culture will shift and become more reasonable.
