it sounds great, but I didn't mention why I'm leaving. Got laid off because the company is stagnating, been doing lay-offs since before the quarantine. Turns out a kick-ass culture is safer for job security since the market isn't going to give your company a break just because you want to chill.

But i think you can have a high-energy culture but still be healthy, its just incredibly hard to figure out.

“Rise and Grind” employers push that because they’re understaffed for their goals. It’s not for your benefit

Sounds like if the poster worked at a Rise and Grind company they may have not been laid off. I prefer to be in a powerhouse Rise and Grind company with growth potential. It's not for everyone though, some people like stagnation

Unless you have equity, I don’t think it’s worth it

There are plenty of jobs out there that are secure & don't require you to be grinding all the time. Any job requesting me to make its mission the main focus of my life gets a laugh and a pass. Why put so much effort into something where I have a minority stake?
