A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Why do you describe certain jobs, such as the ones you chose to mention, as being inherently miserable?

The motive for my observation was to provoke reflection over the essential factors determining how we experience work.

Everybody loves cleaning up other people's poop. In a communist society there would be people queuing around the block to volunteer for that job instead of being an artist or a rock star. Everybody will just do things for fun and be shiny happy people.

Unfortunately, you seem too angry and confused to participate in a meaningful conversation.

You're trying to argue there isn't anything inherently nasty about cleaning up literal human shit clogs. What is even the point in engaging with you in good faith? I'd rather take the piss out of your frankly ridiculous position.

As I say, you seem quite embittered.

You are also attacking a straw man.

Perhaps take a day or so to unwind, and then try reading my question again (including the entirety of the comment).
