> Is employee health really something that can be traded away?
Practically yes. Not necessary because management are all sociopaths and narcissists (some are). What management see is well performing motivated employee that does not complain. People are expected to not talk about about them being tired, about their mental issues and put themselves at disadvantage if they show weakness.
Employees in order to look good and for the sake of own ego, dont admit they are at limit. The ego thing is big co-reason, that is what prevents employee from taking action. (And yes employee often has that option.)
When employee breaks and stops performing, he is kept around for the sake of old glory for a while. Then he is either replaced or hidden in one of those sleepy corporate departments full of considered loosers. The employee is then blamed for consequences of break down.
