Protestant work ethic has really hosed people up. The appearance of work is valued far more than actually accomplishing tangible work ever was.

Protestants weren’t the only people to invent poor people working themselves to death out of a sense of social obligation, they’re just the vector for the form which affects posters here most directly, on average.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Protestant work ethic has really hosed people up. The appearance of work is valued far more than actually accomplishing tangible work ever was. and tbh a lot of this is less "protestant work ethic", and more a result of the tension that arises when someone who buys into the Just World hypothesis to justify their unearned privilege is confronted with the reality that they are, in fact, a useless dipshit who doesn't really do anything.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Protestant work ethic has really hosed people up. The appearance of work is valued far more than actually accomplishing tangible work ever was. My favorite "transgression" are those who openly admit they took a nap. It was actually one co-workers excuse for missing a meeting! I don't understand how a lie like, "took a late lunch" or "got really engrossed in this task" aren't at their ready. Same with being open about running errands. Not in a million years would I ever openly admit I was out getting a haircut, visiting the doctor, attending a school function, etc. There is nothing in my work day, and I suspect most people's work day that requires them to be latched to their desk from 8-5. But make it look like you are! As someone who has developed an anti-Protestant work ethic, appearances are everything.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Protestant work ethic has really hosed people up. The appearance of work is valued far more than actually accomplishing tangible work ever was. This is one of the biggest generational differences I think. Boomers like my parents and the ones I've had to work with my entire life have this ingrained, instinctual lizard brain compulsion to WORK. If they don't work they are anxious. They will literally kill themselves working until they drop because the profit value they provide someone else they see as their value as a person. That's why the entire conversation about younger generations is how entitled and lazy they are because they won't crawl into the workings of the machinery and use their bodies to desperately squeeze out a few more dollars for the employer they have no stake in. That poo poo seems to have died a quick death with Gen Z/Gen A. There will always be people seeking an identity and "HARD WORKING" is ingrained in our society and will never disappear completely but it's pretty obvious things have changed. If 70% of Boomers think this way its 10% of Gen Z. My personal awakening was having a parent completely destroy themselves with a psychotic work ethic doing hard manual labor while never stopping that shattered their body and bankrupted them with dozens of surgeries. This was all to give the owner of their company an extra million or two over the 20 years they worked there so that my parent can die a slow miserable death in a trailer lecturing me for being lazy and having no future because I hop jobs every few years. I use this story to identify which kind of person I am dealing with. If they have a problem with me saying a work ethic can be bad or that I am criticizing such a productive worker or are shocked I dared to criticize The Owners then they are brainwashed. If they know what I mean about "working smart" and "acting your wage" then we can compare notes on minmaxing the system.

JOBSquote:US nonfarm payrolls increased by 336K in September 2023, well above an upwardly revised 227K in August, and beating market forecasts of 170K. It is the strongest job gain in eight months, and well above the 70K-100K needed per month to keep up with the growth in the working-age population, signalling that the labor market is gradually easing but remains resilient despite the Fed's tightening campaign. source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Restaurant And Bar Employment Surges Back to Pre-Pandemic Levelsquote:Jobs in restaurants and bars surged back to pre-pandemic levels in September, according to the latest nonfarm payroll data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The food-services sector and drinking places added 61,000 jobs in September, bringing it back to February 2020 levels for the first time since the pandemic spurred mass layoffs more than three years ago. Elsewhere in the hospitality sector, accommodation employment rose by 16,000 in September, but remains about 10%, or 217,000, below its February 2020 level.
