Antiwork

Would you honestly work if it was optional?

I’m a engineering team lead for a pretty well known video game company, and if I had enough money to retire, I’d never code again. If I was born rich, I wouldn’t even know how to code since I wouldn’t even want to work. I see people on the sub often say that society would still function if work was not psudo-forced (starve or work), but all my friends would quit their jobs and never work again if it wasn’t for the money. I can’t even imagine people collecting garbage if it wasn’t for the money. Or people doing any physically high demanding work like construction. If no, how would society even survive?
