Its not “your fault” but its still ignorant to do certain things in the world you live in. It’s dumb to assume anything backed up to a cloud is going to always be secure, or that you’ll never have your phone lost or stolen. You can’t pretend the world is only full of good people and then deny all responsibility.
I read that Americans in the 1980s used to mock Japanese for working excessively; but now they became the Japanese.
Also, there is another side to this; I notice that people with crappy personal life outside of work use work as distraction. They don’t feel or see any meaning outside of work so they derive meaning from the latter instead.
If someone want to work more hours, fine, but don’t expect the same to others.
Man I’ve been taking it easy at work ever since getting layed off; anyway, but a co-worker of mine on the same team works like a demon. Easily, easily closing double the tickets that I do.
Anyway, young guy, good for him. The shitter is we both got the same piddly little 2% raise.
I’m working my wage and not planning to stick around anyway, but I feel bad for those who aren’t totally jaded yet. It’s so disappointing
This isn’t exactly the most prevalent opinion, but a major part of how these things work is the induced mentality. The main question would be “are you working yourself to death, trying to meet unrealistic expectations set by the dominant societal mindset?”
If, instead, you’re just tinkering and like doing what you’re doing, that’s a different story.
Good job exploiting yourself sucker. No, but seriously keep in mind that your time is limited, especially when you got little kids at home.
While your clients may appreciate any extra work you do for them and it might even get you “loyal” clients, little timmy would also like to spend some time with you.
Totally agree about the kids thing. Being a parent should always take precedence over working(besides working extra to fund the basic needs of the household). Good point :)
Had an insurance job once where I’d get to my car after clocking out and just cry. It was the only job that I quit without notice, and man did that feel good.
It is not a flex if your primary job isn’t enough to pay the bills. It’s a societal failure that wages have not kept up with inflation and that capitalism continues to filter the benefits of increased productivity to ownership at the expense of labor. Being forced to cope with your own exploitation, or worse, figuring out how to exploit others, is not the flex you think it is
And if it ain’t about the money, it’s definitely not a flex that you filled your free time with more work. Unless you’re trying to make your side gig into your 9-5, there is a world of activities, hobbies, and pastimes to better yourself that you are missing out on.
