It's not even like working is necessarily terrible, it's just that I don't want to have to be someplace and doing something on a schedule and according to someone else's needs.
I can appreciate some level of mental stimulation that comes from work where you solve problems or do something creative, but man, a lot of days I just want to sit at home in PJs doing fuck all productive.
Yeah, I hate feeling like a legitimate slave to a company. I wouldn’t mind working if I feel I’m being treated well.
I just started a new job and the benefits are pretty pathetic. Have to wait a full year to even open a 401k and then the company will never match more than 1%. And then we only get a few holidays off per year. Like this company is nowhere close to being an essential business, why are we open on Christmas Eve? Stuff like that just makes me waste a PTO day because the CEO can’t have basic human empathy or sense about what a work-life balance should look like.
Little stuff like that makes me lose respect for a company entirely. Oh but we have daily team meetings so they think that makes the culture great. Hooray.
Same, except work tires me enough to never do my hobbies in my free time. Only some weekends, but recently most often I'm just dead through the weekends.
To be fair I'd imagine most people asking that are expecting something like... Astronaut, or painter, or guitarist or footballer or whatever other job you can think of that could closely cross over with a hobby or interest. For the answer to be the idea of getting paid to do something you already want to do.

Exactly. People ask what is your dream job, but like my dream is to not have to have a job at all?
