This is depressing to read. It's still a very in demand line of work. If your day to day is that miserable try finding some place that isn't.

- draw_down 7y agoIt’s not miserable really, I just sense the pointlessness in it, and in what happens in most of corporate America. Where I work is considered rather desirable actually, here and elsewhere. I’m well compensated which is the point of a job after all. I think there is wisdom in acknowledging that you’re there to shovel the shit, and then shoveling the shit, and leaving it at that.
- barking 7y agoI can empathise with his point of view. Sometimes all going the extra mile gets you is a shrug of the shoulders or worse, grief. If tv didn't exist, people would be more impressed with you for inventing blurry 405 line b&w than high definition colour. The latter makes it look easy, the former gives them some inkling that it's a technically difficult task. They'll be more grateful and impressed as a consequence.
