On: I Have No Idea What “Hard Work” Means

[perilunar]

I was agreeing with the author all the way to the end, when she wrote:

“And once we stop playing this pointless game of comparing how hard we all work, we can start asking the real question of when we’re going to start being compensated fairly for it.”

I don’t believe there is such a thing as fair compensation. No one ‘deserves’ anything, and work has no intrinsic value in and of itself. It’s just a market place full of people haggling.

then (to me) the question becomes: is this what we really want? and is there any alternative to this that works?
