This post incorrectly assumes that working is not fun and should be minimized.
Maybe the work is the point.
- Broken_Hippo 5y agoWhat do you mean, incorrectly? For the vast majority of folks, work isn't fun - not when compared to not working, anyway. I mean, do you really think that most retail or foodservice workers think their job is fun? And even when folks like their jobs, there are practical limits. Some jobs are stressful and lower work hours minimize mistakes. Would you rather have emergency room employees in their 35th or 65th hour on the clock that week? Maybe work isn't the point, especially considering the unpaid work most of us do (and someone working 70 hours a week is surely expecting others to do, paid or not).
- dougmwne 5y agoThe point of what? Life? If it is the point for you, that's great, but it's certainly not the point for me. Don't incorrectly assume most people share your purpose or values.
- zamadatix 5y agoIt sounds like you're both saying the same thing "Don't incorrectly assume most people share your purpose or values". They never prescribed everyone must have these values rather they pointed out the article does not consider some may.
- lr4444lr 5y agoWait until you have kids. 70 hours at work is not fun unless you own the company.
- pessimizer 5y agoIf the work was the point, you'd have to pay to do it, they wouldn't pay you.
