> Reflecting back on it now, I realize that no one ever asked me to work as hard as I did. No one ever explicitly told me that I wasn’t doing enough work. In fact, a few colleagues in the company actively reached out to me to tell me that they saw how hard I was working and how much I had on my plate.
This really resonated with me, and is making me evaluate to what extent it's true for myself. I've seen a lot of burnout discussion lately, and this aspect sets this piece apart.
