The only thing that I get if I meet my absurd deadlines is more deadlines to meet. And so, under managers that don't have a fucking clue what I do anyway, I bullshit my way doing probably 20% of what I used to. I even still get a glowing performance review and no real raises are coming. Its a crummy situation, but I'm certainly not gonna kill myself to enrich someone else.

So, that means we'll soon have a minimum of 5 weeks vacation time like the Europeans, right? Right?
I care about having a stable income.
And I prefer to do something not too abusive to get it.
If that's "not caring about work", then I guess that headline has always been true for me.
Can confirm
That’s a Texas sized ten-four from me too
I just realized at some point how bullshit it is that I spend so much of my not doing what I really love to do. Work on projects I care about, hang out with friends, play games, go camping, sew, paint, read, cook, bake, all the little things we're told to appreciate get crammed into our limited waking hours after clocking out. And the job just sucks away the energy I have to do those things. Why do I have to be 65 (at least) to finally relax and just enjoy life?
People need to have the courage to tank the existing economy and rebuild without the feudalistic tendencies built in. We really ought not to be maintaining the peasant/lord dynamic at this point in history.
