Because pretending to care seems so fake. About to just be that guy who rants about the stupidity of it all, evoking David graeber or some shit, because it seems to be all people ask me about at bars or meet-ups. Do I have to like re-program myself to care
What’s the solution comrades
Depends. I pretend that I love my job to my manager, other managers, and co workers that are sympathetic to management. I also pretend that I love my job to people who could represent networking opportunities. I gotta keep my rent paid and food on the table and I’m not in a field that’s commonly unionized so I’m okay sucking up because I gotta.
To everyone else? I’m honest. Dates, friends, strangers I end up talking to, whoever. Fuck my job. It’s not straight up evil and that’s about all the positives I have to say about it
