Literally No One Likes Their Jobs

And if they say they do, they’re lying.

I personally feel that the era of working for a boss is coming to an end. Employers exploit their staff, no matter how well-intentioned they are, because they want to make a profit. Employees are a commodity, and they’ll be fed any far-fetched, made-up stories about how they’re saving the world through their work in order to keep them productive. Meanwhile, in reality, each and every person who works for a CEO is only there to help put more dollars in their pocket — at the employee’s expense. I don’t know how I can possibly be the only person who sees through this insane system we’re in. I can’t be alone, can I?

We spend our lives becoming convinced that our role is to get a random education degree so we can fill some job in a screwed-up system that they’ll always convince you is very important. If you work in marketing selling hair products, your bosses will brainwash you to think that your work is invaluable to humanity. If you deliver Amazon packages, it’s in the company’s best interest to convince you that you’re changing lives — meanwhile you’re putting more dollars in the pocket of Jeff Bezos for minimum wage. (No one can really live on minimum wage.)

It’s all a big illusion that they’ve immersed us within — the top 1% who control the economy and reap its benefits…
