This is bad, inaccurate framing, but also hell yes we should normalize the concept of quitting something because it's too much work https://twitter.com/vulture/status/1264209955525210112
"Too much work" gets an unnecessarily bad rap. In the vast majority of cases, it doesn't mean that the work is beyond someone's capabilities; it means that the work it would take to square your employment with health and personal obligations isn't worth it
Or it means that it would take a lot of work to become morally or ethically okay with doing something, and doing so would make you a person that you don't want to be. So the work is not worthwhile judged against your conception of what a good life is
Puritanical obsession with synonymizing work and sacrifice, suffering, creates a society in which misery and moral bankruptcy is a virtue, and then we wonder why everyone seems so angry all the time
