    Achieving a healthy work-life-balance IS winning. That’s what the mindless drones don’t get.

      counter argument: that makes the company lose, whereas the grindset makes the company win.

        “The company” i.e. somebody else’s money.

          its a matter of perspective, to the company having people devoted to it is good, to the employee it’s bad.

            Maybe companies shouldn’t be allowed a perspective unless they’re worker owned. Case closed! --oh wait, the profiteers need slaves for their yachts.

              that sounds like a good way to get independent contractors to be used by more companies.

            If I’m devoted to winning, that means I want to win myself. If I don’t profit from the company’s success outside of being allowed to keep my job, increasing the company’s bottom line isn’t a “win” for me. That’s not a matter of perspective.
