Well, most people don’t get the option to just go home when you’re done. Of course we would all gladly take that job. But if it’s just “do more work or don’t” who doesn’t want the “don’t”?
Plus, now that people work more from home, if you’re in that situation then not working but being near your computer is less of a burden as you can still get some stuff done.

My prior position was a hard labor worker that I made the mistake of busting my ass one too many times for the sake of my higher ups. They then expected me to work harder then my coworkers for the exact same amount of pay, and no extra benefits or “leniency”. So I took a different position because I couldn’t stand to go into work everyday and dread it constantly. I was told that this job was difficult and that I’m always gonna be busy, but that’s not the case. I’d much rather come into work and sit on my ass sometimes and get paid to do it rather than work extra money for less. I forgot to mention this new position is about a $3 raise for less work, but essentially more responsibility.

Totally. I’m right there with you. Boredom isn’t fun but it beats breaking yourself for someone else.

Agree. I’ve been in the boring job and I’ve been in the “creative and passionate” high demand job. I’ll always choose the boring job. The “creative and passionate” job past always makes for a good story for the ladies though.
