The article is very opinionated, with bolded sentences, repeated phrasing, and is mainly imperatives.

The immediate response for me is 'some other fucker is telling me I have to work now?'

Work means different things for different people.

Also, I guess your opinion is actually more nuanced than the article implies, and though I still might not appreciate it, I wouldn't be as annoyed if the article was an honest exploration instead of a rushed polemic.

Thank you. That helps. Maybe I will re-write the post one day to give it a more natural and humble tone.
