You are correct that office jobs are less physically strenuous, but they come with their own unique mental horrors. Nobody at a factory spends a week working on a report, only for their boss to decide on a Friday afternoon that everything is wrong and needs to be redone by Monday with no overtime pay, or any opportunity to say ‘no, I can’t take that job.’
Especially with Work from Home, there is no separation between the stress of needing to perform and the relaxation associated with home. You are on, ALL THE TIME, and most people who work at offices for salaries are expected to be available to chat / meet at any time of day, including at 2 or 3 AM if you are working with Indians or Hong Kongers.
Yeah I am not destroying my knees, but my self-confidence and mental health are absolute dogshit.
Don’t be classist, folks. If someone needs to work to survive, they are more alike you than they are not like you. Separating ourselves from each other only serves the wealthiest among us.


I’d kick your ass if I didn’t spend all three of my wishes on churros from 7-11. :/
