For a lot of men, work is identity.
What you do is who you are. Your value is measured in output. Your worth is tied to your wage.
So when work gets hard, redundancy, pressure, conflict, feeling stuck, it doesn’t just affect your job. It affects how you see yourself.
That’s a dangerous place to be, and it’s one most men never talk about.
If work is grinding you down right now, you’re not failing. You’re human.
Your job is not your worth. Your productivity is not your value. You are more than what you produce.
Talk to someone. A mate. A colleague. Anyone.
Don’t carry it alone.
