It lets you earn money to survive of the food and water you can buy at the store, and makes you feel accomplished that you have done a good job at the end of the day. Work is good for others around you too as it lets you help them and is good for the economy. Without work, you guys wouldn't be on Reddit. Appreciate work
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade… ever hear that expression? Well, more and more I think I am the lemon, idk if it's a shared feeling, but when you are pushed and pushed to go above and beyond in a workplace that pays you shit, and makes you feel as such after every long day.

Since I’ve started, I wanted to drop hints that I value my work-life balance, so I would strictly work between 9 to 5 and no longer. During my training, the people in charge told all of us new hires that stopping at 5pm was strongly recommended for various reasons, one being maintaining courtesy with people’s availability.
