I'm sorry but this is just not true. I understand this is your perspective but "these people hate their jobs and only do it for money" is impossibly wrong. Sure, some people hate their jobs, but they're probably not the ones who are thinking about ways to make their jobs more efficient and almost certainly aren't the ones who are going and launching new companies.
I've seen a lot of entrepreneurs start a lot of companies (and started several myself). Many of which you'd think were "boring" -- log aggregation, devops metrics, auto parts retailing, CRM.
I can assure you that in every single case, the founders were truly passionate about the problems they set out to solve.
- DC1350 6y agoA payroll administrator does not like their job and does enjoy solving their employer’s problems. This is so obvious that I feel like you’re trolling. I’m done talking to you.
- IQunder130 6y agoYou are not even reading the comments you are replying to. When you are immersed in a field for a long time, and master it in and out, there's a good chance you'll be able to find something interesting about it. If you can't, you won't start a new company to solve some problem either.
- DC1350 6y agoI read the comment. He’s telling me that people are passionate about things that they’re obviously not passionate about. It feels like gaslighting. When I read job descriptions that tell me I’m supposed to care about some guy’s boring company that does nothing interesting I always thought we were just playing a game where we both pretend I care so everything runs smoother. Am I wrong? I genuinely can’t believe people like this think their employees care. He is either a troll or he’s delusional. Payroll software is just a placeholder for the most boring thing I can imagine.

- edmundsauto 6y agoIt's your lack of perspective and imagination that makes you think payroll admins do not like their jobs. It is far from obvious that this is true.
