I feel like anyone who says they love their work so much it doesn't feel like work just doesn't have an actual life that they like to live so work just beats out not working everytime.
I mean there is people who work for organizations like Doctors without Borders. Being deployed in a zone of natural disaster or war, they probably rack up 60+ hours a week easily. However their pay is much smaller than what they could get in the "market". Turns out people can love their job, if it does something meaningful, rather than make some rich people more rich.
they also aren't doing any actual proper labor, just at the 19th hole having a "business lunch" with a "possible investor"
or "securing partnerships" by spending 2 days travelling for a 3 hour meeting
Does golf actually have more than 18 holes, or is this a sex joke?
Be kind: I don't know golf...or jokes.
The 19th hole is the traditional joke name for the bar/restaurant that you go to after you finish playing. Not sure where you got sex from, but no, there is no sex involved in golf.
Oh that makes sense, thanks!
It's the internet; it's pretty safe to assume sex (or sex jokes), especially when holes are mentioned.
Rule 34 says otherwise
I love my work, and at times I work long hours, nights, weekends, to meet specific goals or when there is an emeegency.
That is however the exception, not the rule.
I need my day to day to be smooth, I need my blend of work from home, so that when the high energy bursts do happen, I can handle it.
The idea of working at crisis levels all the time as standard is just insane to me, and suggests bad time management and expecations.
I can see a young bachelor with no hobbies choosing that but if you have a family and do this then you might as well just say that avoiding them is your only hobby.
na, they're just lying. people at the top work far less than anyone else.
Their work is primarily flogging the slaves to work harder.
There are exceptions to every rule. There are super lucky people for whom their job really is their hobby. Then, even if they do have a life , they can still find their work doesn't feel like work. Life is not fair - it's not shitty for everyone equally.
I really enjoy my job. I spend my time solving problems and work on projects that improve the water supply for the country. I enjoy working late because I don't have any meetings, so I am unburdened enough to actually work. I don't think I could work more than 50 hours a week though.
People who say that have ‘jobs’ where they blather and other people do work then money comes in.
I fucking love not working! I prioritize time spent not working over time working every day of my life.
sits back and waits for people to insinuate about my work quality
I think there are people who love their job me included. The clients and co workers make it a bad experience.
Exactly. Not a life worth having.
