Mine is work and life balance. At least in this stage of my life, I prefer work and life balance. That’s why I’ve accepted a lenient schedule, I leave early when it’s acceptable to, I know that my hard work ultimately is accounting for nothing except to make people who’re not me richer than I’ll ever be.
So it’s like I don’t even see the point in working hard when I know a lot of the time, things will continue to be more or less the same, day in and day out. My position could change if I had a different life and in a different field of work where it would matter. But as it is, I prefer being home more and doing things at my leisure. Especially when I don’t have the commitment of children and currently, a relationship although being in one would kind of be nice though I don’t think there’s anyone out there who’d accept someone into this lifestyle.
But being at home more opens doors for me to pursue anything I want and indulge hobbies whereas if I was continuously doing hard work all of the time, I won’t have even an hour towards them as it would’ve been spent sleeping it away.
What about you?
Work/life balance
I actively avoid getting promoted because management is the next step and fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that shit. I hate managing my own workload, I’m not dealing with HR shit and keeping track of other people (while still also doing my job…)
That being said, stuff like Dilbert has always convinced me that management is easier than the work below it 100% of the time. Do you think there’s any short course you coukd take that would make the process of management more clear to you?
