I’m Interested in the impacts of technology-driven work and manual work

As said in the title, I'm interested in why people may feel drained in an office environment that may be physically less demanding than other professions that require more physicality. Of course this isn't the majority, but an interesting pattern I see with some people. I've seen people leave good-paying office jobs for physical work, such as in construction, plumbing, HVAC, you name it. They're doing much better emotionally and feeling more fulfilled. They are just some of a few examples of this pattern where, maybe even controlling pay, people will gravitate toward a physically imposing job compared to an office job. Thoughts?

Laws regarding not getting paid on time?

So if your company is supposed to pay you on Wednesday and the direct deposit doesn't hit due to a glitch or something, what would be the workers course of action? Let's say it's only one day but a worker overdrafts because of it, does DOL state or fed have options? Thanks

I put my 2 weeks in. Everyone is telling me that they are going to dismiss me.

I put my 2 weeks in at my current employer. All the other employees have told me that they have been just telling people not to come back. In my email to management I also sent it to my personal email. If they dismiss me would I be eligible for unemployment until I start my new job? I’m in Indiana for reference.

Bonus Holiday Next Year

Work just switched us from having a PTO day on Christmas to having a floating holiday, as part of next year's benefits package. This is a great DEI win. But more importantly, management is assuming that so many people will want to take Christmas off, that they've decided the day will be treated as a closed office. Which means, no meetings, no client support, no coworkers, no tasks ​ Since I WFH, all I need to do is log in, and drop a weight on my keyboard to keep my activity light green. ​ Bonus holiday!
