That's already a mental tax that previous generations never had.

Consider the qualifications needed to land those jobs today. The amount of posturing, scrapping, backstabbing, and drama that goes into them. Bullshit jobs surely drain cognitive surplus.

- wholinator2 3y agoHow many of those do you get a day, as well as a proportion of daily notification number? I know that any kind of notification is a significant mental tax for me, especially if i feel compelled to check it in case it's a fire. It forces a context switch, demands you enter a completely different mode which to me is wholly incompatible with the majority of modes i enjoy taking in my free time. Personally, I'll never willingly enter an on call channel ever again. Nearly every night there was some thing i had to read and understand while i was in the middle of deep thought or creativity. Sometimes when they start they'll ping endlessly for hours. It's as if this dead claw of work is reaching in and eating away at my brain.
