the issue is that instead of advocating acceptance of a different way of being (working through pain), she’s contributing to the actual alternative (needing time to recover) being erased
I think you’re right. In an environment where people are chronically overworked, pointing to people leaning into their work while faced with traumatic situations and asserting that they are better off being able to continue to work is not helpful. It reinforces that overwork culture is not only normal but beneficial, which is a terrible stance to take.
