[quote=Anonymous]I enjoy my hobbies way more than working. There are a lot of productive and intellectually engaging activities that aren’t sitting in a 9-5 office job + shitty commute. I bet most of the people who “enjoy working” are wealthy and privileged enough that they either WFH/hybrid/live very close and don’t need to spend 2-3 hours a day commuting.

I don’t understand how someone can enjoy a soul crushing commute that makes you too tired to work out and cook a meal 5 days a week, getting up at the crack of dawn and being forced to go to sleep at 9pm to avoid sleep deprivation, have to poop in a public restroom, sit in back to back meetings for 5 hours a day discussing things you don’t give a shit about, needing to wear uncomfortable clothes all day, can never let loose and be yourself while at the office, etc, etc. Not to mention you’re locked in to a select few geographical areas where your industry is located, have no freedom of movement or freedom over your time.

For most of us working is an incredibly dehumanizing experience and the whole thing is a miserable slog. I seriously don’t understand how the average office drone who makes low 6 figures would actually choose this life if money weren’t a problem. [/quote]
