      Just had a conversation with someone on this last weekend. They’re what I call someone dependent on corporate daycare. They need to be working or they lack self value. Their boss is an ass, hardly works and this guy thinks he’s slacking at 12 hours a day (exaggerated only a little).

      What are you doing that is so important? Is it saving someone’s life? Life changing cancer drugs? No no, it’s a PowerPoint that shows the progress on the projects of equally less important tasks that is only making your boss look good.

      And the fucker still thinks he’s not WORKING HARD ENOUGH!!

      Agree with you but depends on where someone work. It’s rare but some work are undeniably positive to the society.

      I wouldn’t be in the field if I didn’t enjoy the work.

      However I’ve positioned myself to make sure no work is ever unpaid, unless it’s for my own future startup idea.
