One of the unforseen consequences of hyper-specialization / Taylorization is that there are fewer and fewer peers, and as such there are fewer and fewer opportunities to exercise compassion toward someone whose problems in working life resemble one's own. I think that the practice of compassion to peers is an important and under-recognized element of self-compassion and self-forgiveness.
