Actually, people love to work hard

A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Nah, this is an advertisement for the toxic work culture in countries where people get pushed to live to work, make the workplace the reason of their existence, know noone outside work.

In most places around the planet, if given the option, most people will work to live, not live to work.

That purpose and passion will mean nothing when the time to lie down on the place of eternal rest comes.

Lack of imagination and vision? Maybe, I rather have it that way.

I don't think it's is quite right. If you looked at two groups, one a group of office workers who earn a lot, but spend the day pretending to be busy in the office, and another group who earns less, works hard, but does something they find very meaningful and important to their ethics, I'm sure you would find the group doing meaningful work has higher satisfaction than the group clicking aimlessly around jira while watching the clock.
every company with this culture invariably fucks their employees over, it’s inevitable if you think about it
