Who has to work in an office except office workers
A lot ofnpeople i bet
At my job can manage my own time.. but my last job? Not so much
americans I'm assuming
We get mandatory lunch breaks 😁
Unpaid, so 9 hours are consumed 💀
The joke is on this guy because I'll never get to retire
Maybe he found out the day of his deathin 35 years.
Treat jobs like these as temporary.
Look for jobs that actually matter and you find interesting.
Speaking as someone very lucky to have one of those jobs...
What you're suggesting is rarely possible. The overwhelming majority of people just need to pay rent. It's not a failure of the individual doing a bad job at job searching - it's because we're forced into jobs we hate by people who have never been in this situation themselves. There aren't enough enjoyable jobs to cover everyone's cost of living.
"The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralising. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends."
— Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man under Socialism
The joke is, he won't live that long....

Is that how many years I got to live? Cuz retirement is sure not gonna happen. Just had a chat with chatgpt and I learned I'm behind like really behind.

Panel 1: Notes the current day and time. As it's late afternoon on a Friday, it's expected that he's excited for the weekend.
Panel 2: Nope, yearning for retirement, so so many years away
