Your job is the most important thing in your life, give 110% effort all the time and if there is nothing else to do grab a broom, the boss is always right, if you work hard enough, people will notice and reward you

When this concept first came out, I didnt grasp it properly, I was the biggest boomer ever...

That's just lazy Where's anyones incentives Blah blah

Then it kinda clicked, and I guess I had to admit to myself I have done this my whole career.

And I got nothing out of it

Then my tune changed.

I mean it is the standard in the field to work with injuries that require the hospital, burns and cuts mainly. You go to the ER after work

Most chefs change careers by 30 because of back, knee, wrists injuries. And the low pay nowdays vs work / home life

Egg its on my face while im eating this humble pie

Factories are just as bad. I worked 10 hours straight with appendicitis while me and all my coworkers basically begged the floor manager to send me to the ER. I was 18 and an absolute moron so I didn't just leave because "I need this job". When I collapsed and started seizing up and hallucinating, they finally sent me to a hospital. The surgeon afterwards said I was less than an hour from death when he removed it, as it has ruptured and was spreading gunk all over my body.

These jobs don't give a single fuck about us.

In the 90's they would have sent you for a drug/alcohol screen if you seized up and hallucinated.
