    This is some libertarian “be your own boss” bullshit

    The salary is the least amount of money they think they can pay you to work, but the problem is not the work itself. It’s the “money required to survive” aspect.

      Thats not completely true, usually they pay people less then what they need to survive so people are desperate enough to do overtime and overnight shifts.

        Which is what the original poster said, the amount of money is the issue. And boy is it, there’s nothing quite as depressing as going to work every single day and wondering why you even bother. Makes ya reeeeeal productive, too, being distracted and unmotivated.

        That happens constantly with hourly workers, slightly less so with salaried.

      Yes. But which one?

      Also there is an option C/D if you’re willing to make sacrifices or crush other people.
