Everyone wants to work from home, and let everything be manufactured in China. That’s why this country is in a state of decline.
I worked in production for 40+ years and enjoyed the fact that, at the end of the day and week, I could totally forget about work. I had opportunities for management and other salaried positions, but declined them. When people asked why, I said, “when you punch a clock, they don’t want you working overtime and when you’re on salary, they don’t want you to go home.” Myself and many others with degrees thought alike.
A co-worker once observed that the drama at work didn’t seem to bother me. My response was that when I locked my tools up at the end of the day, the company went in the box too.
I never fraternized with co-workers outside of work because conversations always became about work. Life is too short.
