Working 80 hours a week while your kid takes his first steps with the nanny (whose last name you cant remember) is not a badge of honor. Hiding from your home life at work is not a badge of honor. Having a mental fucking breakdown at your desk is not a badge of honor.

And we are much more than our professional identities. Someone asked me a few months ago who are you? I started to rattle off my job and title and she said: No. Who are YOU? Changed my perspective.

Its the backward and exploitative culture that derives from imperialism and has extended itself into systemic culture. It us now considered the norm at many firms to work 12 to 18 hr days. Dont let them guilt trip us into an early grave!

Discuss.

Depends what you want out of life. I respect people with strong work ethics. Whole lot better than all these whiners we got now.

Burning out is never good
Neither is willingly being taken advantage of by people who don't care

Once I was asked to work late when one of the kids computers had a virus and I did so willingly. The kid was happy enough to wait until the Monday but she used it for Minecraft so I stayed 30 minutes late to fix it

But on the other hand I regularly walk in an hour late abs leave 30 minutes early and everyone is thankful for me being there

Yeah, fuck everyone who wants a living wage for the hard work they do. They should just work longer hours for shittier pay on the back of a once-in-a-generation global pandemic while the obscenely rich just get richer and our politicians refuse to do anything for the working class.

I live in a small town. Our local clinic laid off a ton of people during COVID, hired some of the young ones back for less pay, and care has gone to shit. One of the rich executives was sending out solicitations for donations from local communities the clinic system serves so they can have enough money to continue operating smoothly. The videos were clearly filmed in a multi-million dollar home.

It's almost cartoonishly evil.

From my 47 years on this planet, I can say that no job is worth your mental or physical wellbeing. They may pat you on the back and say how great you are when they're working you to the bone, but don't think for a second that you're more than a cog in the machine to them.

I miss the days when you could bring a game home and play, no updates to wait for. Now, get off my lawn.

yup. that's why they have to offer all of these "nice benefits" because at the end of the day they know they're basically sucking the life out of you.

I have one buddy who constantly posts when hes at work working overtime on his forklift with tags like #doubleovertimelife

I just find it odd to brag about giving up more of your time to a company especially at the warehouse level.

I've already given 4 and a half years of my life working 2 jobs working 70 hours a week and missed out on life and my nephew growing up and I dont brag or gloat about it it's just something I had to do to save money.

Giving up your free time just to make more money isn't a way to live I have 1st hand experience with this. More to life than work and much better ways of making money rather than sacrificing all your time.

The hardest working cog will be tossed in the same trash bin as the rest. People are killing themselves for people who will replace them with someone half their age and for less pay once it becomes convenient enough.

It can definitely be tough finding a new job though. And people shouldnt have to just pack everything up and move just to have a decent job.
