The way it's framed, it seems as if it's not possible to be a "good worker" if you take the recommended breaks.

Might not be factually true but that's what the article seems to imply.

Good is relative. It's toxic to skip breaks or work extra hours so that you can be the best worker.

That's a privilege of skilled labour unfortunately. With unskilled, easily replaceable work force managers often simply aim to maximally exploit them, and if (when) they burn out they simply hire the next one.
