It's completely accepted when CEOs and other executives serve on multiple boards or even run more than one company. Companies demanding 100% of any employee are just abusing labor and embracing unequal labor practices, and those practices aren't against any law, companies just make up their own 'policies' to try and make their own laws.
They also have no problem when blue collar workers work 2 or even 3 jobs to get by.
Because we aren't people, we're meat machines. We don't deserve a living wage and it's expected of us to be working every second we're awake. Do you let your tools rest?
I do, better for their long term durability.

Yeah, I'm okay with sacrificing longterm durability.
Hmm... Interesting analogy. What about breaking in an engine properly? Would that be considered rest? I have no point with this, I'm just noodling around with the analogy to see how apt it is.
It was more exasperation with how I feel like we're treated. I mean ffs at my job we have different toilet paper for the "real people" who work in the office and 1ply sandpaper for us barbarians. :/
Not sure about engines, but when you "break in" a horse that doesn't seem like much of a "rest" for the horse. More so indoctrination or submissive tactics.
Breaking a horse is breaking it's spirit from what I can tell.
Breaking in an engine you drive it below the suggested RPM limit while the pistons set into their seals, etc.
