We were complaining that the worst people to work with are those who can't afford to lose employment(usually due to their financial situation), because over time they gradually evolve into these yes-men who will do anything to save their ass - even if it means making everyone else's job harder in the process.
That was me, at a previous job. I eventually was able to bring myself to quit. I made a lot less for a few years but was much happier and realigned my career track for jobs that are more amenable to life.
- Tade0 6y agoA very good life choice that was. I know a few people who eventually had to seek help due to the soul-crushing nature of their line of work. And it's funny really when you think about it - we make good money, which in turn lets us lead a certain lifestyle - an enviable position for most. And yet we can't be happy, because we're deprived of meaning, and apparently this is such a basic need that you simply can't stay healthy without it. Today I spent three hours digging a virtual canal with my friends, so that we could shorten the route our virtual viking ship would have to take to bring some virtual minerals back to our virtual base. It all felt so much more real and meaningful than what I do for a living.
