We are literally living in a world full of childish idiots.

On The Today Show, in a piece about how employers are now expecting more and more workers to return to the office as remote, werk-from-home jobs dwindle, a frustrated woman just said this:

"What good is having a house if you don't get to spend your time there because you are commuting to work? And what good is having a job if you can't enjoy any time off?"

Right. If you can't work in your jammies and go to yoga when you want to, then work is an injustice.

Look, I'm all about having a reasonable work/life balancce and not "living to work" or being jerked around by the man. I've always been a bit of a rebel myself in that way. If my job can be done just as effectively from home as it can in an office, then of course, I'm all for it. "Work" should, by all means, be rewarding and fullfilling on some level. However, it seems we now have a whole swath of people who just can't accept reality and can't handle going to work. It's called "work" for a reason.

I've changed jobs multiple times for that very reason. I've walked away from and turned down offers for much higher paying jobs for that reason. For me, being happy in my work and not dreading it every day has always been far more important that the money. That balance has always been critical for me.

What I'm talking about here is people whining because that hevae to leave their home go to work, as if it is some kind of injustice.

and sorry, my initial post does read like I am calling

Tell me you're a boomer without telling me you're a boomer***

It doesn't in the least. I guess you missed this part:

I think you and I differ in what is considered fulfilment

No prob - different perspectives are welcome and

You're wrong again.
