I guess I don’t understand the line you’re drawing here. If they enjoy the circumstances of their work, why should they go out of their way to “reason clearly” about how it’s actually bad? I could understand if there’s a collective action problem, but as many people in this thread have attested, people who want a job without oncall duty can get one.

Remaining neutral on the on-call point, but as a practical/logical matter, things that feel good and make you happy can still be bad for you personally, especially if they're multiplied over the long term. Three or four gin and tonics every night feels great until your doctor reveals that your unexplained weight loss is from cirrhosis, or cancer.

I guess that's pretty fair. I have to admit I've seen people who genuinely enjoy some terrible overloaded schedule right up to the time they burn out.
