Where do they claim to be "working productively for 95 hours a week"? And are these the "macho lies" you're referring to:
- “I can’t sleep anymore because my anxiety levels are through the roof”
- “My body physically hurts all the time and mentally I’m in a really dark place”
- “Being unemployed is less frightening to me than what my body might succumb to if I keep up this lifestyle”
It doesn't sound like this person knew the degree of abuse they were signing up for:
- “I didn’t come into this job expecting a 9am-5pm’s, but I also didn’t expect consistent 9am-5am’s either”
Nobody really signs up to be abused. They sign up because they're the sort of college grads who've handled every other challenge that's been thrown at them, and “if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere” doesn't sound any different.
