Your fake farmer toughness wouldn't last a day working in an artificially-lit, soul sucking office cubicle for someone else's profit!
Ha! Gotcha farmers!
Now if you'll excuse me I need to cry.
The difference between physical damage and psychic damage.
When the boss uses vicious mockery.
Work in nuclear power! Experience both!
You can totally physically damage your body while working in office
I worked in an office environment that regularly interacted with field workers. They would often give us grief about how easy our jobs are (being in an air conditioned office, on chairs, etc). Two of them got injured and in order to keep them earning a paycheck, and keep their sick hours, they came to help us in the office. They were supposed to be on restrictive duty for months I believe. Within two weeks they begged to go back into the field doing anything except helping us. Haven't heard any grief from them since. Haha.
This sounds like "would you want some torture for your sick period?"
"No, please! Don't make me troubleshoot the printer again!"
I hope this email finds you well. Just to remind all employees that crying should be through as personal leave and signed off by your manager.

I wish we had a "bring your kid to work" day so I can show my child how it feels to be in four back-to-back 1-hour meetings with the most brain dead takes and people going, "Let's table that" and "I hear what you're saying and we're saying the same thing" And then everyone gets drunk at Chilis before another round of four back-to-back one hour meetings.
That's real endurance.
You could even play fun games, every time someone says “moving forward” or “going forward” or whatever, kid takes a shot.
let's take this offline can we have a sidebar 💀
Fun fact: you can have a soul sucking office job AND do farm work! Just get a horse or two!
Hey if it makes you feel any better, most farms are corporate owned and so they get to work in hot, back breaking fields for someone else's profit instead!
Most farms should be corporate owned in the US if for no other reason than to be a liability shield. The question is who owns the corporation and whether the workers are being adequately compensated.
Who owns farms: overwhelmingly it's inherited wealth in trust to avoid paying taxes and run by incorporated entities.
Are the workers being adequately compensated... The answer changes depending on what color your skin is and where you were born.
bonus points if you have to deal with deeply toxic office politics
They'll never even make it to the office, because of all the terrifying minorities in the city who have the audacity to exist.
