Counterpoint: you can have high-quality human contact with people you choose to be around, not so much with people you’re paid to be around.

Didn’t you choose your place of employment?

Even if I did choose the company I applied to for work, I didn’t choose my coworkers, nor did I get to meet them until after I was hired. And, I certainly don’t get to choose the customers I have to interact with during my work.

Considering that my desired workplace is “laying in bed for $5k a week”, no I can’t say that I did. Survival and a safe place to shit dictated that.

You’d get bored and want to be productive.

It’s just hard to be motivated when burnt out by a company that hates it needs you and forces people to do work in a stupid way without autonomy and the goal of fucking their customers

Edit: I’m referring to post-capitalism, not justifying corporate bullshit

Edit: I have no idea what’s going on. Clearly someone doing nothing would do things not to be bored.

I chose to apply for job X, I didn’t choose who would apply to work in the same place.
