Some yardsticks for when I think about jobs I once had or that family members have had, compared to the relative comfort of a job (self-employed or otherwise) in technology. Just some things that give me perspective.
- Does someone come in to do it, or does your job involve you taking your turn to clean the toilet and bathroom?
- Are you required to wear a name tag? Does this affect the perceived power dynamic in your day to day interactions? To wear a work uniform? To take home and clean your own work uniforms?
- Are you likely to get physically injured at work? Would you lose the ability to work or get pushed out of the schedule if this happened?
- Do you definitely or essentially need a vehicle to do your job — your own vehicle — operated and maintained at your expense, without which your job would be in jeopardy?
- Are there elements of your job that are undeniably hazardous to your health, but which you must not complain about to keep your job?
