A lot of people dislike their jobs in real life, which is why you have terms like "TGIF" Thank God it is Friday, and before you say it is a regular thing, you must understand that Friday is the day before Saturday, and most people can not wait for the weekends in whatever jobs they are doing; this is not simply because they are exhausted; it is simply because 99% of jobs do not bring fulfillment, they bring stress and pressure.
It is why so many people work in toxic and unfulfilling environments, where they simply have to show up every day and feel happy only when they are not working.
Solve a problem, get paid
Originally, jobs should be enjoyable; problem solving is something that every job description entails.
Humans enjoy solving problems because it brings them fulfillment and excitement, but the problems that many people must solve at work often come with deadlines and expectations that can be extremely difficult.
I have worked in a lot of uncomfortable places, with nagging superiors or bosses who threaten you with the sack if you do not meet their expectations.
There are jobs where the employers are condescending; they know you can not exactly leave because you have bills to pay, and even if you do leave, the unemployment rate is high, so they can easily replace you.
I have worked in places where you literally have no choice; your livelihood is dependent on one person, and they can wake up and make you useless if they want to. 90% of jobs worldwide are toxic, and some people can not wait until Saturday to finally have some inner peace.
Toxic environment job experience
I am used to toxic work environments; it reminded me of old-time slavery, when a group of 50 muscular slaves were led around in chains by two white people holding guns. While 50 can easily overpower two people, the fear of the gun, as well as the uncertainty of what happens next if they manage to overcome the first obstacle, made it difficult to break free.
Many modern jobs are similar to slavery in that there are people in charge who hold you hostage and make your life miserable. However, this prompts you to wonder, "Is it really worth it?"
I recently saw a movie in which a guy believed he had won the lottery and went to confront his boss. He cursed his boss for all the times he made him unhappy, and after that, he gladly informed his boss that he was quitting, only to walk out and realize that he had not won the lottery after all.
He was absolutely stunned.
What happened?
Because he literally needed the job to survive, he was unable to express himself or complain about the mistreatment he was subjected to.
Many people are trapped in the prison of financial debt, and it eats away at them, making it difficult for them to express their opinions for fear of losing the ability to pay their bills. This is why I agree that people are who they truly are when they have the financial means to never be concerned about the consequences of what they say or do.
People are humbled in life because they are afraid to express themselves freely. Some of the people around you are most likely there because they do not have the freedom to be a fake friend without facing consequences.
This is why a former poor friend becomes someone you no longer recognize when they are free to express themselves without fear of repercussions. We are more concerned about financial consequences than with any other type of consequences.
Can it happen?
When people are no longer slaves to their needs, they gain the true power of reflection and expression. The jobs we have now are those that keep people enslaved.
Perhaps in the future, things will be different, or maybe not. However, I believe that jobs will continue to limit people's choices, allowing them to remain enslaved without fear of revolution or rebuttal.
