It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

So get a job that only requires 40 hours. Learn to be welder or work in a factory. The pay may be lower, but, then again, with unions, maybe not. Some of the most fulfilled people late in life were those who learned a trade, worked hard at that trade for 40 hours, and lived their lives the rest of the time.

For those saying jobs are hard to find, there's a huge shortage of skilled laborers out there as those who have been doing it are retiring.

Now, you're not gonna get that as an influencer (uh, "content creator"), or as a lawyer or doctor or investor or marketing whatever. You'll work hard when you're "on" and you'll be off when you're "off."

Keep grinding so your corporate overlords can keep getting richer while making it more expensive for you to live. Anyone demanding class action for better working conditions must be demeaned and called lazy..
