A very liberating moment for me was realising that there's no 'merit tank' you can fill up with blood sweat and tears.
It may seem like work must have a payoff because the act of performing labour feels like a compromise - you do this act you don't want to do compared to something you'd rather do, in return for something
However, sometimes it is just completely arbitrary and there's no reason to do it. You find this work in basically every job - 'busywork' or 'makework'.
