Another Side's of Hustle Culture

    In the last few days, I read an article in The New York Times entitled “Why Are Young People Pretending to Love Work?”. From the title, it is clear this article discusses young people this day who are very obsessed with work. This is commonly referred to as 'Hustle Culture'. This habit arises among young people this day as a lifestyle that must be fulfilled. As if you work continuously without stopping then you become rich or all your dreams will come true. This becomes serious when work becomes an opiate.

    Actually when you want to achieve something then naturally you will work hard to achieve it. But when you continue to work hard without stopping, this might have an impact on your mental and health. In my opinion, when someone continues to work nonstop, then he can run into burnout. Burnout is an emotional, mental, and physical tiredness caused by prolonged and repetitive stress. Of course, this can affect the quality of one's work if you feel burnout. Mental and physical health can interfere with work activities. Especially in the current generation, mental health more vulnerable than physical health. And of course, if someone feels his mental health is disturbed then this affects his physical health. Besides being able to feel burnout, isn't it from this thing some parties got the benefit?, Especially when you are a worker of a company. For example, some of the companies give slogans like "Don't stop when you're tired, Stop when you are done". Isn't this slogan that can affect workers' minds? then they will be suggested that they don't have to stop until they feel finished. This might be aimed at increasing the efficiency or profitability of a company itself. Moreover, some companies have many facilities that are indeed provided in the office or the area around the office. Which seemed to provide comfort to the workers, so that they feel comfortable working long hours at the office. Though this itself is more directed to the profits of the company itself.

    Hustle culture is a thing that emerged in the past few years. And a lot happens in the young generation today and leads to a lifestyle. This can have an impact like burnout and benefit the company itself. Therefore, work naturally, if you work just only money-oriented and have a good position, then you only get tired and stressed from the work itself.
