“This job is trying to kill me!” is something I would jokingly say to my friends, a self-soothing mantra I’ve used throughout my life. It didn’t matter if work was an easy enough desk job answering phones or managing a large team of writers as an entertainment editor, capitalism was and is always asking for too much.
