Because pretending to care seems so fake. About to just be that guy who rants about the stupidity of it all, evoking David graeber or some shit, because it seems to be all people ask me about at bars or meet-ups. Do I have to like re-program myself to care
What’s the solution comrades
I think that's something made up. You don't have to pretend you like your job you should be honest. Just don't whine about your job to people you're just meeting.
If it could get back to your boss, pretend that you like your job. There are too many shitty people out there who would use any negativity as an excuse to get one over on you, or to fire you.
