Comment on how do you deal with those characters fully convinced a job is something you have to enjoy?
marc4267@lemmy.ml 1 day agoI suspect you are mostly angry…
I don’t feel anger, he is however a nuisance I want to avoid.
at his testing of your carefully built mental fortress,
I didn’t have to think much to build this fortress, as you call it. You are exaggerating.
the one that insulates you from dwelling on the tedium and uninspired drudgery your future in that position offers.
let’s say you are right and my position is tedious and uninspiring (which sometimes it is). Why is that bad? it’s a job. Why are you looking for fulfillment in a job? Wouldn’t it be better to find meaning in a hobby or family? Maybe writing a book? Painting?
shouldn’t a career be more rewarding than just showing up?
no. it’s still a job. they have to literally pay you for you to be there.
do you understand just how incredibly easy money is to get in a bull market/bubble? they print a literal infinite amount of the stuff, and the richest of our society gamble with it at digital casinos so they can watch lines go up instead of spending it in the real world.
if you learn the rules to that casino, you would never have to work another day in your life.

As the other commenters stated, if you’re spending a significant portion of your life doing something, it makes sense to try to make it something you at least enjoy doing.
Yes that’s well and good but the options are not mutually exclusive. You can have a rewarding hobby life AND a job that offers some measure of satisfaction and enjoyment.
