Working Until You Die

I definitely need to go minimum fucks given as my current job has more drama than even Trump's fuck ups.

My work would be meaningful if it inspired all people to make sustainable alternatives that replace this poisonous economy. But for now, there are too many extremely wasteful consumers on a planet with limited resources who enable inhumane working conditions for workers. The mental health crisis didn't happen on accident. It's a cesspool. It's torture knowing that a significant amount of people will ignore wisdom.

Why does everbody see working as a torture?

I don't know necessarily that it feels like torture. I trade 40 hours of my life a week to my company and in return I'm given what I would consider a moderately meager salary which is enough for right now to live and provide for my family. I've managed to get myself into a place where the work doesn't feel awful and my boss is a genuinely nice guy - though I am left to accept this only lasts until whenever the next "re-org" happens (and my gosh do they love their re-orgs...) There are some weeks where I even enjoy the work as well, but for the most part it has the feel of higher-ups deliberately keeping those under them "busy" and I often wonder how much actual value is being created by all of this grinding effort.

At the end of the day, this isn't really what I would be doing with my time if I weren't shackled into the necessity of the paycheck in order to get by. I have always been excellent at getting things accomplished when properly motivated, but it takes a lot of effort for me to align myself to the business before that can happen. And there is a feeling of soul-drain, of selling out, of phoniness... But it's hard to reckon with what the alternative is.
