  Let’s Talk About Hustle Culture: Unlearn The Grind, Relearn The Rest

As diabolical as it sounds, every human crisis is caused by humans for humans. 

Can you think of any? I have some on my fingertips. Climate crisis. Racism. Poverty. Hunger. And the most volatile of the current time — The Great Resignation of 2021. 

While we are at it, let’s talk about The Great Resignation of 2021. In simplest terms, people are leaving their jobs. They do not want to work anymore. Millennials are most affected in this Great Resignation of 2021. According to CNET, the driving factor is burnout. The hustle culture is equating to existential dread. Hustle culture is toxic and people are questioning whether finding meaning in their job is fruitless pursuit. 

For the woke and aware generation, the priority is mental well-being. Corporate millennials are not okay with hustle culture. It is losing its shine and quickly. Following the same trail of thought, let’s talk about—what is hustle culture? How can we unlearn the grind and relearn the rest?


What is Hustle Culture?

Hustle culture as a lifestyle is synonymous to beast mode in the corporate world. Hustle in itself is an attribute of a person who does not stop. 

By today’s standards, overworking to the point of it becoming a lifestyle is what hustle culture is defined as. There isn’t a single day in your life when you aren’t pushing yourself to your limits – leaving little time for your personal life. Overworking has been modernised into what we now call hustle culture by numerous self-help books on bookstore shelves, social media, and even prominent entrepreneurs throughout the years.

Modern hustle culture is toxic and extremely misleading. It has made taking a break from work look like a sin and being busy has been ticked right.
