A lot of jobs now are like that where you’re not really doing much all day. My job’s the exact opposite and I’m 100% on for every minute I’m working. Which is fine, because I make a lot more than most people. When I hear people complaining about not making as much at the average job, I’m mostly reminded that the average person isn’t actually working 40 hours a week or more, they’re working 5-20 hours a week, then complaining for the other 20.
Then with other jobs, they’re not supposed to be a lifelong vocation. Like waiter or cashier. It’s supposed to be something young people do or mom’s do on the side of raising their families or what you do while trying to figure out something else or rising up in that company or going to school.
There definitely is a big problem with the hilarious inequality of income we have now, but turning every act of service into a ‘living wage’ vocation wouldn’t appear to be the answer.
Some at my job complain of being "bored". I'm just like "fool, if you're bored, that means you're earning our VERY generous pay to do NOTHING. You can literally make a dollar by breathing five times. Breathe with me, and be ENDLESSLY entertained!"
It's amazing. They're on the job, on the clock, and I'm going to get shit if they fuck around and touch stuff they're not supposed to because they can't sit at a desk and smile at the fact they're gainfully employed.
I'll be honest I think with an office job I rarely do more than 4 hours of work per typical day:
-8-10 OMG THIS HAS TO GET DONE NOW
-10-1: everyone's at lunch, call later
-1-3: meeting for a project still open despite finishing three weeks ago, last chance for important phone calls
-3-5: do any paperwork you might have while watching youtube
