brilliant. although one somehow expects this to some degree, it's nice to see it raw from former insider.
what I find particularly destructive for me is not the part about physical and mental deprivation, but rather that "keep the impression" game, regardless of what kind of mess the real situation is. I don't believe that any sane non-split-personality person can keep his professional life and behaviors apart from rest of his/her life, in contrary. Stay there long enough, and you become this person. then you hear about people divorcing, because the other "changed so much in last 10-20 years".
Would I exchange any amount of money to become less healthy, stressed out and worse person overall? LOL, that's a question that doesn't even need an answer...
