re: Would you say that your hobbies make your life bearable?

Work sucks unless you’re a company owner or one of those sycophants that sucks up to the owner or higher ups and makes work their whole identity (friends, social time, etc is all work related.) We have a few of those at my company and they have zero boundaries between their personal and professional life.

I don’t understand devoting your whole life to someone else’s company or business. Work is work and at the end of the day, everyone is replaceable. I do a good job, but I’m done at 40 hours each week. I only work to take vacations with my family and have money to spend on people and things and hobbies I actually care about.
