How is this “fucking up [their] life”?

Some people don’t care about the grindset or putting in 50hr weeks. As long as work gets done and you’re reasonably keeping your skills up to date, what does it matter?

If anything it’s more of a win by gaining hours of your life back that would’ve been spent people-pleasing.
