I've been thinking about something related to this lately. I think the financial reality for most folks is that they have to have a job to survive. So people have to pretend that they're good / engaged / whatever, and stay in jobs that aren't making them happy, ones where they don't really care, or ones where they're just not that good at it.

On the leadership side, we have to choose between keeping around someone who's not that good or putting the employee and their family in a very precarious financial situation (especially with the economy and the tech sector being what it is these days).

It's an argument that I don't see often when talking about stronger social safety nets / stronger unemployment benefits / UBI.

Imagine how much more productive everyone would be if we could just stop pretending to care about your job, and go do something else that you actually care about.
