I don't know if it's my imagination or not, but I feel like nowadays people are a bit more understanding about such things. Maybe it's because burn outs and such are so common and we're more aware of the risks related to working hard.

I think so too. It also might be that nowadays it's OK to pursuit happiness, not only fulfill your place in the society by working hard 'till you drop dead and not complaining if you're not in an ideal situation / dream-job.
