It's hard to read posters in this thread that disagree with the article when citing their 15+ years of experience. Sounds like a mix of time healing all wounds, survivorship bias, and maybe a little Stockholm syndrome.

"Just be positive" about wasting almost 1/2 of your waking hours a week once the curtain drops doesn't sound like a very sustainable solution to life to me.

Or maybe it just hasn't been long enough since my burnout and layoff ;)
