Go ahead. Go work at those soulless corpo-jobs that will parade you around for your skin color. You’ll never realize you work for a modern day Minstrel Shows theatre for tax and grant reasons.
A lot of people like getting payed for little to no work while also being praised and being immune to criticism.
More then 10 years ago I was working with a DIE hire, before DIE was an acknowledged thing. He would do so little work and he was happy, we even had layoffs, funny how the older white dudes were the ones that got fired but not him despite being abysmal on metrics. Who doesn't want that level of job security.
And why not? Work is only one avenue of fulfillment. Take a 9 to 5 where you stare at the wall for 8 hours in order to provide a home YOU OWN for your family?
That sounds way more fulfilling than 90% of the jobs out there. Add the benefits of no weekends, no overtime, holidays off, paid vacation and we're talking about mountains of icing on top of the cake.
Yeah I'm with you. I'm not corporate quite anymore, albeit still very much adjacent to it. I did that for 20 years though, and you know what, the minor investment of time, mental, and physical state really paid quite well. It's the ones that seek fulfillment from corporate work that suffer. I sought to exchange a limited amount of good work for a paycheck, and spent my non-work time seeking fulfillment with family, friends, hobbies, etc. while not having to stress over income.
