I just recently started this 9-5 job which really makes me hate even more this robotic system, but what bothers me even more is talking to other staff and having them say things like “at least it's already Friday” or when the expedient is ending “at least we have an hour to go” or when it's busy “at least it makes time go by fast”.
And this is coming from people who've been at the company 5+ years.
This other guy I spoke to has been working here for 10 years and loving it and that just sounds dreadful to me. 10 years at the same company, doing the same thing everyday, it sounds like a nightmare, but he was happy about it.
But it makes me sad, I also don't see myself leaving the rat race anytime soon and I feel like I have no choice either.
Life is precious and time is short, it's sad seeing people getting happy about it being Friday already or only one hour to go.
