Calling traumatizing data work a 'normal office job' is a lazy reach that confuses a paycheck with an excuse to ignore what it actually does to people.

No one in this thread has used the word "normal" besides you, so you're responding to something no one said. I called it an office job. Are you contending that it's not one?

Setting that aside, maybe this type of job in particular is traumatizing. And? What do you want done about it?

Seems to be a whole class of people that when they come across a story that should be gut wrenching have to come up with a reason why its not and get angry with whoever brought it up. "How dare you make me feel bad? Its obviously not bad!"
