I read posts about people quitting jobs because they’re boring or there is not much to do and I don’t get it: what’s wrong with being paid for doing nothing or not much at all?
Examples I can think of: being paid to be present but only working 30 minutes to 2 hours every 8 hours, or a job where you have to work 5 minutes every 30 minutes.
What’s wrong with reading a book, writing poetry or a novel, exercising, playing with the smartphone… and going home to enjoy your hobbies fully rested?
Am I missing something?
I want to feel like what I do matters, otherwise I become frustrated and feel bad. My basic drive for curiosity is very strong, and I need to learn new things and do something that has some sort of meaning.
Being paid to do nothing is soo frustrating, I feel like I am wasting what little time I have here on earth.
