I’ve tried really hard to get a job that requires as little from me as possible and still pays the bills.
Life is misery, every week I start knowing I will not be allowed enough freedom to ever stop being a wage slave.
I work to stay alive, and have no chance to plan for the future.
I have nothing to live for besides the people I care about, and my work makes it so I have to spend almost all my time away from them or too tired to interact.
Our world is dying and I can’t even be upset about it anymore, becuse whatever happens will be more fulfilling than this
When I am allowed to choose to spend my time working twoards the actual benefit of society for a fair wage call me.
Until then I’m not doing any of this voluntarily, it’s against my will. Like a slave
It’s a constant fight for survival, we’ve made the horrible mistake of modeling our systems off of the cruel fuedal hierarchies of the past and the cruel uncaring themes of nature. These are things a fair civil society is supposed to oppose and ours is failing.
Sorry if I can’t delude myself into being a happy slave for some boomer on the internet lol
The difference is in your example the majority of your labor benefits you.
Currently most working people pay off the cost that their existence incurs before age 40. But most people won’t get to retire.
Every year the ratio of work/life keeps getting shifter further away from life. And pretending like Capitalism does us any favors is just ignoring the more practical solutions at this point.

And does it make you a better project manager?
I’m not sure how to phrase this without sounding like a condescending jerk, but that’s not my intention.
The thing is, a job that requires as little from you as possible while still paying the bills is guaranteed to be unfulfilling.
There is no fulfilling job in this system
Having a gun put to your head and being told to work or die is not fulfilling in any way. It’s a hostage situation. It’s slavery.
That’s hyperbolic.

If capitalism didn’t exist and we just had a more archaic society, it would almost invariably be agrarian and you’d need to work for food or also die.
It’s not largely different.
