Eh, I’m not pro-management or anything. Maybe anon should be angry at their higher-ups instead of being annoyed at the success of their wife

Doesn’t seem to me like op is annoyed at wifes success. Op os annoyed that bullshit jobs make tons of money and the actual hard work only earns you a broken body, depression, and poverty.

You dont think laborers deserve ample time off and good pay?
Please explain your position.

Yes, I’m an actual monster. /s.

No! I was speculating about the anon’s situation, as are you. Maybe they have a job at a factory, risking life and limb every day. Maybe they just dislike their boring office position. Maybe they dig ditches and their back will give out before retirement. We don’t know. I did imply that they were unfairly compensated here:

Maybe anon should be angry at their higher-ups

And yes, I did read “My wife has a make-believe job and it’s kinda annoying” as them being annoyed specifically at their wife rather than their own work situation. This is because they were disparaging their wife’s job with “make-believe”, which seemed dismissive to me. It doesn’t seem like a stretch to go from “dismissive of their wife’s job” to “dismissive of their wife”. But I could see how you could interpret it the other way.

Why would it make it absurd? Those few conversations possibly bring the company incredible value. Just because someone works hard doesn’t mean their job has incredible value, since effort isn’t proportional to value.
