Nobody wants to work. We want to enjoy our lives. We work as a means to enjoy our lives.
People dream about having a job they like and enjoy, and wish they could get paid for something they have fun doing… No one dreams of having a job for the fun of it.
Most jobs are pointless… in the big scheme of things what the fuck is the point.
People don’t want to be stuck in 5 day work weeks spending the best part of every day working for some bell-end who probably doesn’t know their name.
I’d literally rather not have an office job and have to grow my food and share it with my neighbours when they help with the harvest.
I have a fucking job, purely to buy a house. I live in a place that is waaaay overpriced, and the boxes we get to live in get smaller and more expensive… By the time I’ve saved the deposit and fees for my house I won’t be able to afford it. I’ll have to move somewhere less populated limiting my job prospects.
Meanwhile we have absolute fuck-tards like musk who have more money than sense and something stupid like 80% of people on earth can’t afford to survive 2 months without having a fucking job
Fuck your jobs. Fuck your products and fucking let me live my life.
I work with a guy that works 12 hours a day, six days a week. We’re salaried. He has made his identity being a hard worker. The rest of us put in about 35 hours. Our boss doesn’t mind. It’s crazy to me that he does this.
He might hate his personal life. There was a period of time after my little brother died that I absolutely threw myself into work because it was a distraction. When I was home I had some really dark thoughts.
I love my work, my boss is great, I have flexible hours and make excellent money doing something I genuinely enjoy. I would still rather not work and just tend to my animals/pets and house all day, cook good food, and play games with friends because that would be far more fulfilling
I agree. I lucked out landing an awesome job with a great work environment, friendly coworkers, and a boss who’s involved and easy to talk to and work with, AND in a field I’m passionate about.
But, if I just had the money to own my house and car and stuff… I wouldn’t work there. I wouldn’t work anywhere. It’s ultimately just a means to an end, even if I think the means are much more palatable than some other jobs I’ve had.
I don’t understand the point of this question. Obviously I would not do a job for free, especially if my needs were met. Are you leading into something?
It’s an old career question. Like if you would sit around fixing old cars you should be a mechanic.
It’s a silly question though because no one would answer "If I didn’t have to work anymore I’d go around unclogging random folks drains while they complain about how water tastes. " even if they enjoyed being a plumber.
I’ve had a handful of jobs I found really rewarding and I enjoyed, but not one of them would I do if I want getting paid.
Gotcha, that makes sense. Well I am a software developer and do enjoy writing code and building out databases, so there is a chance I would still do that for free, but it sure as hell wouldn’t be for a corporation’s profit
A couple of things.

would you be doing your current job if your needs are met but you’re not getting paid for it?
