I hate hate hate these people. I have so many of them in my life and they are so stressful to be around. Always talking about how hard they work and bitching that no one works as hard as they do, always making you feel lazy for wanting to have a goddamn life. I swear this type of bootlicking coworker is one of the biggest roadblocks to better working conditions. I know, I know, worker solidarity and all that but damn it's hard not to want to scream at them to fuck off sometimes.

    I hate when people say ‘no one enjoys work, that’s why it’s called work’ or ‘thats why you get paid to do it’

    Eh, this is pretty spot-on for most paid jobs today, which is what most people think of when they hear "work." It's also pretty useful for cutting through shit like "our corporate family" or "here's a few nice bells and whistles to dazzle you instead of a bigger paycheck."

    Those sayings can compliment (or lead to) broader discussions about how work should be defined or about how people might feel about work in a socialist society.
