is there anyone here that absolutely dislikes their job but knows it pays well so they continue doing it...? i've worked in the corporate world for 12 years but despise it so much that I would gladly take a 50% cut tomorrow if I could work for myself 40 hrs a week w healthcare benefits...

Bob Porter : Don't... don't care?
Peter Gibbons : It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation?

If some people are happy doing more work and not being rewarded, good for them. I do go above and beyond, and I'm rewarded. I've now received two raises and more RSU's during the pandemic.

If I hadn't, I wouldn't keep doing it.

Precisely... my personal experience has been that if you follow that mantra... you will get more work w 0 guarantee of any reward.

From a passenger standpoint I understand Airbuses are pretty nice. From a controllers standpoint they SUCK! Can't climb, can't slow and they are slow to initiate turns (gotta ask the FMS first).

This is the most absurd comment I've heard in a while... perhaps someone's never heard of MCAS...

I have a law degree from a T30 law school, never worked as an attorney and if I could redo it again, would never go to law school. I ended up in contracts management. The funny thing is I make more than most practicing attorneys (save for big law and corporate in house counsel). Is my degree useful in my trade? Maybe a little. On the job experience is much more useful than education for contracts management. Regardless, I don't like my job just in it to make money and retire by 55.
