>People who work 8 hours a day, mostly for a paycheck, how do you cope without wanting to off yourself?
By remembering that we are some of the luckiest people on earth. We get paid obscene amounts of money to sit around in our underwear at home tapping out letters on a keyboard. The sweat, toil, and hard work of an entire family in some third world country generates only a tiny fraction of my compensation as a fat, entitled first world bourgeois that was born into the lottery ticket of a first world life and education. Never forget that.
>Maybe I'm naive, but it just seems that almost every job out there is about squeezing more profit out of people, and absolutely nothing else, and it doesn't really make me want to work.
Companies exist to make profit. You can play the game and win the prize, or you can call foul, take your ball, and go home. The choice is yours.
