    Doing something you don’t like for yourself feels quite different from doing it for someone else, though.

    Most people who do something they don’t like for a living does that thing purely because it is the thing that makes some shareholder more money. All (or most of) the meaning has been sucked out, and that definitely has something to do with capitalism.

    Of course we’ll probably never get to the point where everyone loves every day of their job, but injecting some value (that isn’t purely monetary) back into work would do wonders, IMO.

      Eh, not really IMO…I hate doing maintenance on the house, yard work, cleaning etc. just as much as the days I don’t want to go to work, perhaps even more actually.

        Well, that sucks 😅 Sounds like you should live in an apartment/condo! Still won’t escape the cleaning, though…

          Oh god no, I have done that and that sucks ass too. Sure no maintenance, but then there’s people everywhere around you.
