There is a parallel I see between a person’s approach to work and their approach to health.
A person that hates to hear of a planned stop for preventive maintenance also takes the same approach to planned rest for optimum health.
Unwittingly, they are more willing to accept a breakdown no matter the length of time, than anything planned. In keeping with the philosophy, they are more accepting of ill health as a reason for time-off than any planned rest.
I have started setting boundaries for such people. I no longer have time for people that would rather run a ship aground than use an anchor.
