Does anyone else ever feel like not working because they feel like the people where they live are shitty and that working for them feeds the machine of shittiness? (lemmy.ml)

Shovel 14 tons what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter don't you call cuz I anit home. I owe my soul to the company store.

Work has too many variables that make it shitty to think the grass is greener just by changing the location you work in. I've switched industries drastically a couple times and returned to some and feel strongly that people of the similar flock together. So even if you changed the people you work for or with by mowing towns, but dont change careers, it's likely your next job will have the same personality types as the people you currently hate working for.
