When they tell you at work or at school to give it your all, do they mean to do something until you burn out or collapse of exhaustion? Because that seems to be the trope in all movies and shows. (lemmy.ml)

So good life advice to anyone reading this especially the young folks

The boss that looks after you is rare. You are responsible for maintaining your work/life balance. That's means logging the fuck off, deadlines be damned, at a reasonable time and maintaining your sanity. Work is infinite. There will always be more. And the company will take every bit of what you give it, until you collapse. It's up to you to set expectations, and it's up to you to draw the line.

And, if you do go above and beyond (ie. literally giving your all rather than an appropriate amount of effort within your working hours) you only stand to lose. You'll get more work or more complex work assigned without any increase in pay. If you're lucky your boss will be appreciative of your efforts and abilities, but that doesn't pay the bills.
