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 can whole heartedly confirm that not everyone needs to have a job to not be bored. My ADHD ass has a whole ton of possible things I can learn the absolute basics too without being productive and moving onto the next shiny thing but work keeps getting in the way.

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