    The only thing that makes less sense than your comment is people upvoting it.

    Morale and pay are both factors, your sarcastic comment makes it seem like you believe everyone only cares about pay and nothing else…

    Some people make good money, so that’s not their primary motivation when picking a job.

        It’s funny how many people are telling me I missed the sarcasm when I literally said it was sarcasm…

        your sarcastic comment makes it seem like you believe everyone only cares about pay and nothing else…

        Someone can attempt sarcasm and still fuck it up bud

          Agreed, but the above comment is not one of those times. Just admit you missed it and go on with life. Nice edit with both comments, lulz

            When you edit on Lemmy it resets how long ago the comment was made…

            If I edited it, your reply to me would show a newer timestamp…

            No idea why so many people in this sub have no clue what they’re talking about, but it looks like I’m just blocking the whole thing

              And when you edit within a minute of a reply that was made within a minute of your comment nothing changes. Just suck it up and admit you missed it, dude.

      If needing to pay for basic necessities weren’t a factor in people getting jobs, I highly doubt the majority of people would work the kinds of jobs of today. I don’t know a single person who is excited to go into their retail job and deal with shitty customers all day or sit in a bland cubicle all day making spreadsheets that nobody really cares about.

      I know more people who would much rather devote their time to learning and playing instruments, or making something with their own hands, or writing stories, or spending time raising their families.

        I actually enjoy making those spreadsheets. I wouldn’t do it for free though.

          Hey if that’s your jam go for it, personally I’d like to live in a world where someone can elect to do that sort of work and not have to worry and stress about housing, food, bills etc or take on that kind of work despite hating it in order to put food on the table.

        Not everyone works entry level retail jobs…

        And some people already make enough to live comfortably…

        Which is why I said that.

        Some people make good money, so that’s not their primary motivation when picking a job

        I now completely understand why something as stupid as what I replied to got upvoted tho.

        Have fun here

        Maybe that’s why I said it was sarcastic?

        Someone can be sarcastic and still not make a point…

        What exactly do you think sarcasm is?
