> But know you have to keep doing this forever. Or to work for yourself or in an environment where you get the gains, not the employer

Or, you know, being a member of society, you can find other members of society who feel like you, and organize together to place demands on employers that...you know...stops them from exploiting you.

- That's how you got the weekend: https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200117-the-modern-phe...

- And that's how you got the 8-hour working week: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day_movement

- And that's how you got children off the factories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_labour

But, you know, you can always hustle against your fellow SEs, and try to appease your masters. Where others work the bare minimum of 8 hours, why not work 12, and also on the weekend? It's also fine.

Generating shareholder value is very important for the well-being of society! /s
