Humans are emotional beings. Working for LTT is a dream job for lots of people in the industry including Madison. She was told to tough it out by numerous people (managers/coworkers) and that's what she was trying to do until she broke and had to come up with an excuse that they would have to accept.

Right, but still nobody is forcing you to continue in a job which it turns out is not a good fit for you. I for my part would consider working on SpaceX rockets a dream job but I know I need at least 16h of downtime every day and a weekend, so that is just not gonna happen.

And even if other company cultures are not as mercifully transparent, IMHO complaining about having to mutilate yourself when you could have just as well simply quit and not mutilate yourself is a bit much.

edit: And I'm not saying a company with this sigma grindset bullshit work culture is perfectly fine. It's not! That's why it makes even less sense to me to pour your lifeblood into it when this crap doesn't suit you.

She didn't "complain" about harming herself. Nobody is asking what you would do in this situation. Somebody reiterated what she said and you called it bullshit. I was simply giving you the context of the situation. You're going to have a bad time in life if you expect everyone to act logically. Hell even your responses are emotional. I would suggest you read her messages

"Hell even your responses are emotional."

It's the greatest irony of all: pure logic would dictate there is no point in keeping on disputing this in the face on negative feedback and with nothing to gain from it.

In fact pure logic would dictate there is no point in commenting in social media if it's not going to lead to some concrete upside for the one commenting.
