People on DCUM, like me, are gov workers bored at their job and wasting time

"Consulting firms are now pushing back start dates for some new hires fresh out of college.

Accenture is offering some new hires up to $25,000 to start next April, Bloomberg reported.

Some MBA hires are getting paid $175,000 a year to just sit there — because there's nothing to do."

If people aren't, who is feeding, dressing,cleaning, driving them? Who is paying their bills?

Your question seems kinda racist.

Racist how? As most rich people, who can afford to do nothing are from one race or as most homeless, addict or welfare recipients are?

I am just the glue and the big Poobah who gives directions to every member of the family.

If I am laid up (hypothetically, if I have COVID and have to quarantine) the house falls apart.

Mind you, the other members of the family have the intelligence to go out in the world and make a living . You could say that they are doing something all day.

The health thing sucked, but the biggest struggle was feeling useless and therefore worthless. Logically I knew that I wasn’t worthless even if took from others more than I gave, but there was a part of me that thought the world would be better off if I was dead.

I hope OP that if you are ever beset with health issues that make it so you can’t contribute, you have already taken a hard look at yourself about what it means to value people based on how much they “contribute.”

I actually do have a job but have struggled with a long term illness that is not particularly visible to outsiders. If OP is my neighbor who is judging me like this, I suggest that you contribute positively to society by foregoing judgment & focusing on your own life.

If there were no health issues? Would you be doing something? Like what?

Not that pp, but some of us have issues that mean just getting ourselves and family fed and some exercise during the day is a win.

I burned out and ruined my health working in education OP. Does that make you feel better. Worked for 20 years. Regret all of it.

+2 however, we are financially fine so I don't owe it to anyone outside my household to "work" or "contribute to society." I did for many years. It sucks. I was miserable. When you die, the most important thing you can do is give your kids a good childhood and life so they can pass it on to their kids. That is my contribution.

No one owes you an explanation, OP. Now get back to work.
