I read posts about people quitting jobs because they’re boring or there is not much to do and I don’t get it: what’s wrong with being paid for doing nothing or not much at all?
Examples I can think of: being paid to be present but only working 30 minutes to 2 hours every 8 hours, or a job where you have to work 5 minutes every 30 minutes.
What’s wrong with reading a book, writing poetry or a novel, exercising, playing with the smartphone… and going home to enjoy your hobbies fully rested?
Am I missing something?
I’d rather be at home where i can enjoy my life as i choose if I’m not working. End of it for me. I get it, paid to do nothing but i just don’t like doing nothing. Not saying i want to beat my body or mind up non stop but full stop, hurry up and wait… No thanks.
There’s more in person hurry up and do nothing jobs than work from home positions, and I would imagine most people complaining are not working from home, or have to maintain availability showing in a chat program, or are just busy enough to not be able to get into what they want to be doing.
