Unfortunately companies know that it's vastly cheaper to frame the narrative around blaming personal responsibility and the employee for "not being tough enough / being unskilled at negotiating / bad at managing their free time" than to change a toxic work culture that demands increasingly more out of fewer and fewer staff.

Exactly. I’ve been told to “toughen up” when being constantly undermined and 8 colleagues quit out of frustration. The “manager” who told me that also eventually quit out of burnout. Go figure.
