Ideally (we don't live in this reality) everyone should be doing some form of "work" they have interest in, and at that point i would say kinda? depends what form working hard takes in that case, but one should want to work on passion, at least I think

how you do anything is how you do everything. work harder.

why work hard and make other ppl rich

Completely depends on your job

Man literally begging my way in back in back in 2015 lol.

I had previous experience as a project manager and parleyed that to work my in.

I sent emails to all of the agencies in my area to give me a chance.

Yeah, my manager is an extremely hard worker. We only have to be in the office 3 days outta the week, and he's there every day at 8/8:30am lol.

I don't knock him for it, but I'm not interested in doing all of that. I don't need to be a "high achiever" this point. Just tell me what to do, I'll do it, and will collect a check.

s/o khrome

no because most jobs aren't meaningful but instead just bureaucratic endeavors to perpetuate the capitalist machine

You’re free to do whatever you want

Ok Don Draper 💀

Do they let you smoke inside?

The goal is to be happy. Never sell your soul to a job. If you are doing your job then thats enough, if you wanna give an extra is fine but dont stress about it. Job is only a small fraction of your life. Keep working on your life goals and you would be fine.

I think it shows personality if you don’t shamelessly slave away. But I know that’s the standard. If you do your job well I think it’s okay to be a little lazy.

I wish lol

sounds like the most normal s*** ever

I’m just over going above and beyond.

As long as the work is getting done, I really don’t feel the need to do that.

It’s weird because there’s a lot of people at my job who work on weekends/stay late. I have absolutely zero interest in doing that. Work is not my life. It funds my life.

Nah

I don't do s***

yeah thats just feeding a lie and compensating for something going on in a person's life. hence so many psychos in the higher up positions. id be vague about your attitude at work though because some people are doing the most when they find out someone's not crunching their back 24/7

Only reward for working hard at work is more work

Yeah that's how my manager is. Going into the office everyday. Sending emails during the weekends.

When people do this, I'm thinking to myself - "Do you not have anything else going on in your life?"

No

Join a union

I don’t think most corporate jobs (if any) have a union lol

I need my cushy desk job

They don’t lol. Work is their structure essentially.
