How come people want to work? (literature.cafe)

As someone who is going to have to get a job in 2-3 years, I'm dreading the day. Going to the same place 5 days a week coming home with no time and energy left for anything you actually like and doing this for FOURTY years or even more if you were unlucky, sounds HORRIBLE!! How could anyone actually like working?

Good workplaces are like the after-school extracurricular classes, you go because you're interested, it's fun to problem-solve with people.

I have to be regularly told to go home at the end of the day.

Finally a positive answer! I completely agree, I enjoy working with competent people, solve issues, and improve myself. Extend my knowledge and experience, try out new stuff and help other people get better.

How long have you worked there?

How long have they been in business?

Is the business stable and well-ran? Do you even know?
