humanity has offered us nearly 5000 years of literary reflection on the nature of work, along with all the wonders of art and engineering to testify to its power, and all you can think of is pushing paper ?



all those people "reflecting on the nature of work" never really worked though

more probably, this is what you would like to be true about work, so it's the only message about work you hear

i "work" but i recognize that what i do isnt the sort of real, productive labor that drives the world. my grandfather was a mason who certainly contributed more of real worth to society and in turn suffered terrible pain most of his adult life

When the gods instead of man
Did the work, bore the loads,
The gods' load was too great,
The work too hard, the trouble too much,
The great Anunnaki made the Igigi
Carry the workload sevenfold.



the Igigi were also gods and the "work" referred to is a creation story

I do manufacturing through a temp agency and you have to work for at least half a year before even qualifying for basic health benefits and paid vacation time.

Also the first day of the job my supervisor told me straight up that the company deliberately tries to hire as few people as possible, so now we're behind quotas and have to work 9-10 hour shifts and on holiday weekends for the foreseeable future just to catch up.

lol same where i work, we are always "downstaffed" and have to beg around for people to stay. luckily it's still an hourly system so we get compensated. feel bad that the next level up is salary, they don't even make much more per year, and end up fucked because "you better answer if i call 9pm on a saturday!"

my new job hut counselor said that i qualify for a training program thing where an employer promises to hire me if i don't fuck up for like 2 months or something and in return i get the beautiful benefit of a minimum wage job for 2 months and maybe a real job after that.
