Actually i help a young person with a dissabillty. So work can often be a visit to the theater, board game night every week and occasional concerts (Ramstein this summer 🤘)
The pay is not at max. I could make more but would have to offer a lot more of my free time and do work that id hate doing.
That said, there is also some stuff that one has to get used to, but I guess it could be a lot worse
I’ve had a couple jobs with wonderful overtime pay, in those cases my overtime was usually while traveling to places I’d rather not be. More cash to spend when I got home was great. Better than sitting in a hotel room doom scrolling
Most people die wishing they’d spent more time with loved ones.
If you’re working to get your own business off the ground, but you still make time for friends, family, and yourself, you’re fine. Especially if your own business is bringing you and those around you joy.
I was that guy, and its good to some extent, but its also not good, there needs to be a balance. I worked so hard I was able to retire young, but I really didnt need to work as hard as I did.
I got my hours cut to 4 days a week so I could actually have some rest.
I work retail and was working in the meat department which takes 3 people minimum to run efficiently, it was just me and occasionally my boss who was in-charge of the other fresh departments , killed my mental health and my knee got fucked from single handedly running the entire department.
Then I had to get my dog of 15 years put down and because of that job, the last couple of months I was too tired to do things with her as much, so I went " fuck this shit" told my boss I’m unable to fulfil my full time contract and requested hours cut to 4 days max, citing physical and mental health reasons.
Now I get to chill out working fresh produce throwing fruit and veg up, 4 days a week with a bunch of days off scattered around, which I quite enjoy and my mental and physical health are getting better.
I worked full time in a produce department years ago. It was physically demanding for an hour or two in the morning unloading the truck and stacking it away, then it was mostly playing cricket out the back with a plank, an onion, and a rubbish bin for the wicket.
I’ve seen it more as a thing people one-up each other over and use as a way of looking down on people. Like “you sat at a desk for 40 hours and you’re tired? So lazy. I just ran a construction project that was 4 weeks of 12 hour days, no days off.” Like yeah, that’s impressive, but your job’s physicality and long hours don’t invalidate other forms of labor and the exhaustion that can come with it.
Very well, sir. I accept your challenge and propose we settle our dispute with rapiers at dawn. Let it be understood that the duel shall end upon drawing first blood. May the outcome be as fate decrees, guided by the will of the heavens.
