The top comment is about a CEO who left to work in an Amazon warehouse due to the daily structure.
This is the second most top comment.
Also really illustrates the whole “grass is always greener …” thing.
- crooked-v 4y agoOf course, the grass really is greener for the CEO, what with the whole "has the financial luxury to quit the Amazon warehouse job at any time" thing.

- apetresc 4y agoThe story you're referring to was about a CEO who was looking for some relief from burnout and depression. He wanted the structure as an antidote to a specific feeling, not as a general desire. All else being equal, I think the vast majority of people would prefer self-direction and autonomy to rigorous top-down order. People's choice and actions throughout the ages seem to reinforce this. I wouldn't mistake someone's personal choice to temporarily self-impose some structure as an example of "grass is always greener".
- lioeters 4y agoIt is fascinating, how some people crave structure and yet cannot achieve it - and some are enslaved in structure and dream of freedom. Some are probably very happy within a given structure. Others prefer to create their own structures to live in. Myself, I suffocate in any structure, especially calendars and clocks.
