I was talking about your responsibility to yourself. You were talking about your responsibility to your boss. We were talking across each other. Sorry I was not clear enough.
Your concerns are totally legit. It was not my intention to lessen them in any shape or form. Wish I could have been more helpful in addressing those concerns.
But I'm sure you'd agree that a slave may have a lot of responsibilities too. But none of them is to himself, at least his master will make sure of that.
