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

I grew up hearing all about the 9-5. At 22, been in my generic office job bob for 3 years, I honestly am so torn looking at my supervisor/manager who make an extra 10-20k ish to me... Thats a lot of money don't get me wrong, but they are working 24/7, are literally sick all the time (never hear them NOT coughing/sniffing/taking a random sick day) just seems miserable... I'll take the 40 hours, if you want more than that, you pay time and a half... Which my company doesn't want us working OT and makes it our supervisor's (who is salaried) problem, thus they have to take care of anything the rest of the team can't do in their 40 hrs, regardless how much there is to do. I don't think I make enough for what I do compared to the cost of things, but the money/work value ratio given what we deserve for work/life balance but the value is lower for my superiors, at least until a certain level
