Ok... So maybe this is a dumb question, but is it helpful to hear that when you're having a hard time?

It depends.

It could mean just try to put bad thoughts aside until the workday/workweek ends and really try to get intentional tunnel vision. In a corporate world of hell capitalism, I get it. Not a great sign that we have slang for it, but I get it.

It could also mean emotionally disconnect for the next while and just do what's mechanically important (work, often gym). This one's worse and it's what you're thinking of.

It's been used a fair bit around me.

i think it could be, depending upon circumstances. likewise, i think it could also be actively harmful (depending upon circumstances).

And personality type.
