    I’m only committed to winning in that way if winning means that I am getting a cut of the company profits.

    I’m at my salary will reflect the profitability and growth of the company.

    Otherwise I’m just another wage slave that you’re trying to abuse, and take away my work is rights

    Weird. I feel like I’m winning when I’m on a long vacation doing something adventurous and I feel like I’m fucking losing when I’m staring at a computer screen in an office.

      For real I love it when I’m not at work having fun and living life even if it’s just boring and I’m at home just working on some house projects and riding my bike

    If you’re not willing to sacrifice your life and happiness for me then what do you think you’re doing with your life?

    Anyone who devotes the majority of their life to their job is sort of a loser in my opinion.

      Unless it’s something they’re genuinely passionate about that gives them purpose, it’s the saddest thing in the world. I don’t think that describes the vast majority of us doing our mundane corporate slave work though.

        Agreed. I’ve met some people who devoted their lives to work in nonprofits or public service who I would definitely not call losers. I wouldn’t want to be their spouse, but I admire them.

    For me, winning is a job with flexible hours that let’s me go home and do some garage work and then cook. I want vacation time and time to see the doctor. I want a good retirement plan and good coverage for the 3 bullshit doctor things… The body doc, the eye doc and the teeth doc. I want a doctor who enjoys work and is not simply seeing me and a thousand other people. I want cheap medicine that is effective. I want free analysis and no copay surprise. i want free hospital stays. I also want free schools k-12 and university for my kids. And I want free vaccines and freedom of speech without fear or retaliation. And I want diversity at my work, I don’t wanna be the only black guy! Or the only Chinese or Korean or woman. And I want my job to not make things that hurt people.

      This is it. When they forced us back into the office, it was less about afternoon naps and avoiding traffic. It was more about being able to see my dr that closes at 4pm or taking my elderly parents to their appointments. Cooking dinners to avoid takeout and getting ‘me’ time between zoom calls. They took that away from us. Now it’s 9-5 and not a minute more.

        I’ll be joining the Dow people next week when it drops another 68 percent. They say it hurts less if you jump from the fifth floor or higher. But if you go too high like the 20th floor, you could have enough times to freakout. So you gotta find your Happy medium.
