Antiwork

Today I saw that my local Wendy’s is hiring at $20 an hour, and I have mixed feelings about it.

I never thought I would see the day that a fast food restaurant would offer that much money, not in my lifetime at least. And I think it's awesome that they're offering such a high amount over minimum wage. But back when I was working 9:00 to 5:00, over the course of a healthcare career that spanned over a decade and included a stint in managing a practice, I never even made close to that. I regret working so hard for all that time, and the stress, anxiety, insomnia, and ulcer than I got from doing it. It gave me some hope for the future but also made me feel very bitter.
