I usually follow anyone back and it's very rare that I intentionally unfollow a mutual, but I just unfollowed someone whose account I realized is primarily promoting grind culture. Absolutely not.

No, I do not have 12 working hours on weekdays and 16 more on weekends to "create wealth." Sick of this pervasive ableist, capitalist, anti-humane attitude.

"You SHOULD be able to--" no I shouldn't and I can't! That's the whole thing. Let me rest FFS.

@_L1vY_ Anyone that is working that much is not doing a good job. I have worked in tech and restaurants and maintenance, and this holds true across them all.

People that hold up their long hours as some sort of status are just posturing. They are not good at their jobs, they are making mistakes for others to fix, or not thinking out their solutions, again for others to fix.

This is a representational capitalism things. The way a thing is done becomes more important than the end result.

@_L1vY_ NGL, that’s not the kind of grind that came to mind when I read that first sentence. 🤣

@_L1vY_ I work in a high growth tech startup. I do 8 till 5, 5 days a week, and on call 1 in 4.
I have to actively fight "always available* bullshit at times, but for the long term good of the company it's the only way

@coldclimate You do what you have to for a paycheck. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As for the company: "You can love the army but it ain't necessarily gonna love you back."

@_L1vY_ I do what I do because I love it, and part of that is protecting it from itself when toxic habits surface. Also I get paid 😜

@_L1vY_ preach. Thank you. My goals in life are not career related. People should stop pushing their obsession with wealth and status all the time.

Go drink 5 cups of coffee to make money for your boss if that mais you happy and let me just chill, party or play video games.

@_L1vY_ my dad always told me:

“You work to live, you don’t live to work.”
