All these people saying “just find a job you like” sound very much like “just don’t be poor” takes. Sometimes you are where you are, and that’s what OP is asking about.
Because they’re not paying you enough to care; if you’re not worth a living wage to them, then there is no reason for you to do more than the bare minimum.
Why not be a good little worker, making barely enough to survive while the big wigs at your company are living the new Gilded Age? I think I’ll hold out for something better.
I guess y’all had an implied detail that the employer is not paying you a salary you can survive on. I didn’t realize that because I live in a developed country. My mistake. 🙋♂️
I’m retired and trying to get everything straightened up. Not just finances, but family obligations. Hopefully I’ll be away early in '26. Thanks for the attitude though. Seriously.

Just didn’t get caught not being the dutiful, terrified, cowed, pliable, wage slave that your local

Ah wait, this is probably America we’re talking about. Never mind. 👍
Yeah, if you’re making a livong wage you’re already in a better position because you don’t live in the USA.

Haha, yeah. Rub it in! I lived in the developed world for a decade before moving back to the US. Worst mistake of my life.
