The psychology of work has needed to become a major focus of interest to find out the reasons people hate so many aspects of the way they make a living.
The workplace had been a place of torture for many decades in this country.
People are looking to escape being watched if they work for someone, I see little difference between that and being in a prison for 10hrs a day, only the prison is better because you can play chess with a friend, read a book or do some exercise, or just chill out, you have choice.
Then you have the tyrants of the workplace that are all too common either management that watches the workers like they were in a prison yard, making sure no one enjoys their day, barking orders to get back to work if they see you spend a little too much time at the water fountain.
And you have the demeaning and demoralizing coworkers that often have mental issues and a enough power to bring people to dread their day of work, as they will be subjected to abuse and insults throughout the day with no way to escape unless they quit, which won't happen due to lack of skills or a build up in benefits and pay.
So when people do a bullshit job that offers them an escape, even though it's a dead end obviously, I suppose it's this desire to get away from the assholes that rule the workplace.
One thing I noticed in my own work in healthcare is the toxicity of the workplace. There were always a certain number of rude people that you were forced to work or interact with that would go out of their way to be cruel and insulting. They had enough seniority and title to get away with this and knew how to play the game, in that they would insult an equal or subordinate, but never their superior, so it was something they completely controlled and the workplace was fine with these cunts that play this sinister game for decades.
I saw the same thing when I'd put on health-fairs at factories a few times a year, many of the factory workers were polite and welcoming, but you'd get upper management that was staring at the workers telling them to get back to work(the knew this they didn't need to be reminded) after I was done with them. It was like a concentration camp for these people and after I had been there for a few hours on several days the manager started to boss me around and I was like "who the fuck are you talking to"?
I would propose a zero tolerance policy for those that are rude and insulting.
I'd shorten the work day. This 40hrs work week is bullshit, especially if you can get the work done in 3hrs/day. The current work week is really a product of an even crueler system where people(children as well) worked 7 days a week 15hrs/day during the industrial revolution. It was sadistic and so you got the 40hr work week that is less so, but it obvious people don't like it and don't want to spend 40-60+hrs a week doing shit they don't like, that's reality.
I'd put an end to this progressive credentialism. Males learn in ways other than sitting on their can in a classroom for hours upon end every day. It's not that they don't have intelligence, they designed and built the entire world, but the difference is they like to learn on their feet, not on their ass staring at a chalkboard. This is why so many women are graduating college, they are great at sitting on their ass......men and boys aren't wired for that.
Stop making mankind do things that support the machine, make the machine support mankind. What is the use of living if everything is turned upside down and now your entire purpose in life is to keep a machine going. Anti-tech writers have warned us about this for a long time.
