Trips to take. Cook outs. Fun to have. I didn’t have time nor did I want to work an 80 hour week. Also had two businesses. Sold my share on both.

Is the worker not free to seek higher compensation in exchange for their labor? This isn't slavery.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the end stage. Fascism is the next stop on this train. 2 minutes ago, DriftBusta said: oh hey Dan O hai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkisNH Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) What do you think you were put on this earth to do? Work adds purpose, that is if you choose Work that is rewarding. Remember it is for you to choose. Let's assume that noggin gets his jollies from teaching or instruction...I could name a dozen jobs that aren't actual teaching/education jobs, but in industry. Find your intersection of hard skills and soft skills and work will be rewarding. If you don't work you will lack self worth and never become your greatest you. BTW I no longer work 80 hour weeks (well maybe sometimes) but I could retire tomorrow. Why don't I? Humans need purpose or they wither.

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted August 25, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted August 25, 2021 Work is a four letter word. I sure as hell don’t think I was put here to work. I do everything possible to not have to work and that’s got me to 32hrswk. People that work crazy hours a wk 70-80-100hrs I’ll never get that. To each their own I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I got a 50% raise this year. Changed careers in my late 50s. And pretty much work part time. Find your purpose out there, it might take a while but almost everyone has a purpose and means to succeed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
