Four of the five were excellent.
The first? Bullshit.
Heaven’s reward fallacy arises from the old boomer maxim of “if you work hard and apply yourself, you will be rewarded”. Unfortunately, while this may have been applicable at one time, it is now absolutely bogus.
In today’s employment environment, going above and beyond does absolutely nothing but get you exploited and taken advantage of. You will not see anything arise out of it other than burnout and resentment, as all your hard work signifies that you are a sucker that can be targeted to have any amount of work piled on top without having to increase your pay to compensate. That you will slave away to make the company owners stupidly wealthy without asking for anything more than what you previously got with much lower effort levels.
Wake up and touch some grass.
Stop being a rube, stop being a sucker, stop being hoodwinked by boomer lies and work to your wage -- and not a single cent more. Because you will never see any benefit from that extra effort. Never. It’s all wasted time and effort on your part, when your life can be better spent on yourself.
After all, no-one ever lay on their deathbed thinking “man, I should have worked more hours in my life instead of spending time with my family”.
