That's what occur in my mind this morning. All this time, I am not much different with a slave. Work everyday, more than eight hours per day, and still think about work and work even at home. I really need to change my mind, life less stress and do whatever I want to do more. Hope this will come true soon. Even if I still work for some company, then just be a normal staff. Have a blessing day my lotters

@Vree0937 I know. But if we are paid right, it is okay, right?

@Vree0937 yes, that's an issue. In Europe and the US, they are paid as per hours not like us who are paid for the days irrespective of the hours we work a day.

Work and home life must be balanced or we will grow to resent our work. Resenting work leads to doing a bad job and getting fired.

I wish I could get fired, its more fair. But that's the last last last resolution that corporate will do.

The cardinal rule is to pursue a work you love. That means you will never have a dull day in your life.

@sjvg1976 That is the mindset created for us by the capitalists, I think. People are compelled to take jobs for the sake of making ends meet. Come to think of it this pandemia has changed that perspective because people are refusing to go back to their work and finding courage into venturing into something they like to do.

But that doesn't happen with everyone when you have lesser opportunities. You have to accept whatever comes to you.

Yes, it's not an obligation to work on weekend, but we feel responsible for that, so still doing it

I am also like you who work almost for 10-11 hours a day and get phone calls related to work even when I am at home. I know we should balance our life but practically it's tough to do it.

indeed, especially if you pursue corporate ladder. Being ignorant is not helping as well
