Overbearing manager means somebody for whom relaxing after doing your job or reading on downtime means lazying around.

Okay, and…? Do you think people in the business of saving lives shouldn’t get downtime at all, just all go from clock in to clock out? Like it’s a concentration camp instead of a hospital?

Your mum sounds like she’s awesome, but she remind me so much of mine. Self-sacrificing to a fault, and potentially like she struggled to internalise that she needed breaks, because otherwise “someone (could) die”.

Whoa, not what I was trying to say at all. Nor was I implying that OP or anyone else here is lazy.

There's a huge difference though between not getting a break and not being willing to do what is expected of you (within reason), and this isn't really something that can be generalized so easily.

Again, I never meant to imply anything about any particular person, so I apologize if it came across that way.
