How about: Hire me, pay me what I'm worth, and give me interesting work.
Why should we make any compromises on the activity that we'll spend the majority of our lives doing?
- ramraj07 6y agoBecause no one owes you a job you like? It's great if what you're good at is what others are looking for. But outside of tech and math that's often a rare proposition.
- tediousdemise 6y agoConversely, we don't owe anyone labor for uninteresting work. I suppose that's the beauty of having the freedom of choice.
- hu3 6y agoI agree but for many the freedom of choice falls short when facing bills. Then one has to work on whatever pays their bills and it's exhausting enough to make the dream even harder. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be able to work mostly in greenfield projects. I worked really hard to get here and keep working hard to stay here.
- mlboss 6y agoThat’s correct. But “freedom of choice” looks like a luxury if run out of money.
- ramraj07 6y agoYou do owe labor in return for money though, unless you're an entitled tech or crypto bro who has grown up in a bubble without any understanding of how the other 99% of people live their lives (by just scraping by).
- corobo 6y agoIt's on you to get the job to be fair. If it's not interesting work then you goofed by accepting the job Interesting is subjective, you can't make every job interesting to every person.
