I think one can look forward to the weekend (or the end of the shift) but still work for other things in addition to money.
I mean things like enjoying your colleagues, be happy for a well done job, have fun with interesting problems, appreciate that your work is valuable for other people.
Yeah, those are not things you should accept _instead_ of the money, in general, but they count too.
- Aeolun 6y ago- enjoying your colleagues - be happy for a well done job - have fun with interesting problems It may be a bit cynicsl, but there’s your problem. It’s much easier to find jobs without these things that still pay very well.
- alxlaz 6y agoYou can, but the cold reality is that most jobs aren't like that. You work alongside the kind of people you don't want to be around, solving problems that shouldn't even exist in the first place, and doing work that isn't valuable to anyone except one of the managers up in the org chart who can use it to justify their bonuses. Sometimes you get lucky and get one of the good jobs that tick some of these boxes, but most people don't get lucky.
- corobo 6y agoOh aye but we are talking pre and post burnout. Things are closer to depression (if depression isn't just straight up part and parcel) with burnout. I have friends outside work, the problems are easy but tedious, I have access to the analytics of the sites I build and can see nobody uses them. Burnout is like arguing with someone on Twitter, you're not convincing it otherwise in the moment
