    You guys need to read Bullshit Jobs. Some percentage of jobs just don’t need to exist.

          Ask the bosses that. Would you rather we all suffer? Or would you rather we make it so the people breaking their backs no longer need to?

          Trying to drag down the people who are slightly comfortable seems counter productive.

            When your slightly comfortable isn’t contributing and is ok with my back pain, I start wondering why your comfort matters more than mine.

              Where did I say your comfort doesn’t matter? You’re the one making this a zero sum discussion.

              I’m also not okay with your back pain. That fucking sucks and anyone that’s getting disabled by their job should be given the time and money to recover. But we’d need stronger unions to enforce that.
