This was cool! NEEDING to work and CHOOSING to work are two completely different things. I too would probably keep working if I won the lottery. Maybe we’re both crazy haha

Enjoyed that Ellen and as someone who leans into this problem and tries his best to 'fix' work it's complex and certainly nuanced. I find myself somewhere between encouraging the place for the 'good' colleague (empathy, not siloed, etc) and the 'good' employer (don't be an asshole with people with silly 1980s belief systems taken from wall street hustle culture). All within a broken outdated and timebased working week, 24 hour a day social, burnout, productivity and how we et stuff done respectfully. Look forward to reading your thoughts now I'm subscribed.
