I’ve done jobs I loved. I’ve been harassed, degraded, and threatened by bosses at each such job such that I suffered psychologically and eventually had to leave each job.
Bosses have gotten really bad for some reason. A manager used to mentor people and deal with communicating issues upwards. Now it seems to be entirely abusive supervision.
Yeah, I was lucky to get the crazy ass unemployment during covid like week one. And I was applying to jobs but not hearing shit back. I had essentially four months of making more money than I had at that point. ($900 a week is pretty goddamn good) and wanted a job super bad lol. Like I was definitely picky but a good fulfilling job can’t be beat. You can only do hobbies so long before you’re doing them to fill time and they loose luster.
Ended up learning programming in that time and started that as a career and am doing incredibly well. So I do love my job and know I’d rather do that than nothing
I agree with the old man. You clearly haven’t truely done something you love.

I’m sorry to hear that. I guess I just need to remember to be thankful
Doing the thing I love as a job, just destroyed my hobby for me
Yeah was going to say… if you equate what you do with slavery, you prrrooobably aren’t doing something you love.
