      It’s called hexbear, get with the times.

      Edit: not sorry for calling it like I see it. I’m thrilled my message was received and bruised some egos. Try posting image macros of a pig shitting on its own balls to recover from the hurt or something.

    This is some libertarian “be your own boss” bullshit

    The salary is the least amount of money they think they can pay you to work, but the problem is not the work itself. It’s the “money required to survive” aspect.

      Thats not completely true, usually they pay people less then what they need to survive so people are desperate enough to do overtime and overnight shifts.

        That happens constantly with hourly workers, slightly less so with salaried.

        Which is what the original poster said, the amount of money is the issue. And boy is it, there’s nothing quite as depressing as going to work every single day and wondering why you even bother. Makes ya reeeeeal productive, too, being distracted and unmotivated.

      Yes. But which one?

      Also there is an option C/D if you’re willing to make sacrifices or crush other people.

        This is very true. I haven’t ever been the “Crush other people” type but I have sacrificed some things to live a very particular way that is one of the few ways I imagine would work for me to live. It makes me so sad and angry that this is the system we’ve put in place, and how it subjugates the whole world.

          A sad truth is that you can do anything, but you must sacrifice things. I could to x but have to sacrifice being a spouse. I could make hella money, but I’d have to abandon my family/kids. I could do whatever but need to move across the country. Opportunity is there but most people aren’t willing to pay the price. And that’s fair.

    Sell your soul at cost, buy the bar another round.

    Make yourself the boss, pay your workers shit and tax the ground.

    'Cause when money is your friend, then the party never ends.

    Hire a crew and you can make the town.

    My job is my dream, and I genuinely enjoy it. Even if I won the lottery I’d still work. I often joke that my job is my “favorite videogame” - it just scratches that itch.

    I’m a Microsoft 365 admin. It helps that i have a super flexible schedule, so I can work around my life instead of vice-versa.
