The Glamourisation of Exhaustion in Hustle Culture

Many young professionals and students in India feel that they have to work all the time to be successful.

They think that being busy and tired is a good thing, and that taking breaks is a sign of laziness.

This is called 'hustle culture'.

People feel like they have to work all the time, even on weekends and vacations, and they feel guilty if they're not working.

This can lead to burnout, which is when someone is so tired and stressed that they can't function properly.

Some people are starting to push back against this culture and set boundaries, like not replying to work messages after a certain time.

Experts say that real change needs to come from companies and leaders, who need to model healthy work habits and respect boundaries.
