That characteristic is found in most all workplaces. You can see someone change when tired of the job. Due to no change or challenge. Due to no advancement. Maybe a major change at home. Due to no longer having a child's spirit.

Some jobs are more taxing than others. For example, nurses in hospital burn units typically do not last more than a year.

Same applies to soldiers. They are only good for maybe one year of combat. Deploy them too often and permanent damage results.

Many jobs can only be done for a short time. Have respect for old timers who manage to remain divorsed from the strain. Or learn how they do it.
