Why does everyone hate this article just because it doesn't have any kind of footnote "AND OF COURSE THEY ARE WRONG AND OUT OF TOUCH" explicitly
Also why is Arianna Huffington on this list with her infinitely more reasonable take on it with no comment
Because these people are held up as pillars of society, and the article’s lack of taking a stand leaves the whole thing open to interpretation, which leads the uncritical masses to conclude “oh hey we should take these views too.”
Huffington’s take isn’t any different from the others, it’s yet another way to break down the barrier between work and life, and to repackage “your life should revolve around work” in a digestible way. This is reflected by her “work-life integration” line, where she addresses life -> work and quietly implies work -> life.
In practice, I just went through the most productive (busiest) time of my career. We recently got results and I’m over the moon happy about it, but all that came at the cost of work invading my personal life and being unable to fully relax for a period of months, which is a direct contrast to what Huffington is saying in this article.
