And finally...
21. "Hustle culture."
Prime Video
"Overworking every day, in every aspect of life, has to burn you out. I think it gets to a point of vindictive 'I suffered and so must you,' as well as weird masochism. You can be successful while maintaining boundaries; erasing them just sets a new and unattainable 'normal.'"
