The format of remote work is possible only where an intangible product or service is produced. This means that educated people and intellectuals work in such jobs. And they suffer from burnout. But people engaged in heavy physical labor (or not heavy, if the labor is mechanized) do not suffer from any kind of burnout. This is because intellectuals are too pampered. It is necessary to train emotional stability. And by the way, if you consider the high earnings in OpenAI, then developers can easily endure a heavy workload (although now all the main developers have been lured away by Zuckerberg, promising even more earnings).
I would say you are half right, but half wrong. I would say pampered is correct in the sense that they are given a better life, they are just sitting on some chair and working on their pc, and earn very good. However, you have to remember that not everyone is some developer for openAI getting poached by Mark Zuckerberg.
For example I am a remote worker too, I work from home, on my pc, but I do not make nearly enough to survive, thankfully wife has a business that is starting to do just a bit good, but not that great, so we barely survive, barely pay our debts, for years it has been like this for all kinds of bad life situations, we had to take loans and even mortgage our own house, just to pay medical bills. So realize that, while you are right about those people, not all of us are the same.
