Like most adults, I HATE my job. Every day I go into work I die inside. There is nothing rewarding about my job other than the pay check.
Still I try hard. Every day. It makes the lives of my co-workers easier. It makes my boss’s life easier. They are real people in my community and I care about how my actions affect them. Work ethic means a lot to me.
I get hating your job but half assing your job every day is awful for society.

I work in government.
Understandable. If you work in like welfare departments, working harder to get people more benefits is a bigger “fuck you” to the government
Soviet era joke.
We pretend to work and the bosses pretend to pay us.
There’s a Chinese joke from my dad:
“做也三十六，不做也三十六.”
Which translare to: Whether you work or not, you still get paid ¥36 (Yuan/Renminbi) (per month)
I heard it this way.
“If you work hard, you make $36. If you work really, really hard, you can make $36. If you die, $36.”
