    Why would you accept that? Are humans only a value when they’re grinding themselves down to nothing? We got the keys to do more with less and then convinced each other we shouldn’t be allowed all the free time science has dug up for us.

    It’s like shredding your tax refunds.

      I don’t feel my job is a grind at all. I do it for 35 hours a week, maybe a fourth of my week. I have reasonable targets, a manager who’s open to listen to my issues, and when I had a mental health issue due to an undiagnosed condition was given several paid weeks off to deal with it.

          Not really, I have the same deal as any other council worker in the UK as it’s a collectively agreed deal. Millions of people across the country have the same conditions.
