> work isn’t meant to be fun
that tired joke just reinforces the silly notion that individuals should just put up with things for money, and probably even be grateful for it.
laying it all out, that’s quite funny.
- otabdeveloper4 3y ago> silly notion that individuals should just put up with things for money Well, yes. If you enjoy doing it then you'll do it for free. No need to pay you.
- catchnear4321 3y agothat’s silly. why do it for free if someone needs the thing done and is willing to pay? they pay you for what they view as work, and you do what you view as play. is that such a wild notion for you?
- lambda_garden 3y agoIndeed. You get paid to deliver more value to someone than you cost them (or someone else might cost them!) Whether or not you have fun has little to do with it.
- catchnear4321 3y agoyou seem to miss that humans aren’t cogs, and a motivated human can perform better than a demotivated one. having fun can actually increase value produced. so, yes, it very much has something to do with it.
