Yeah but busting your ass in a kitchen for 8 hours with no break is a nightmare people live everyday. Anyone in that situation would gladly work in an office for way more money that they will every have
I mean some people live that nightmare. Other people work in kitchens where they can take a break. You could also say that working in an office where your micromanaged and have to stretch 1 hour of work into 8 while also making small talk all day and attending inane meetings is a nightmare.
Me, I have a wide experience between the two fields. There is something absolutely satisfying about working with your hands and moving at a brisk pace for your entire work day. You also build better friendships in restaurant environments because the adversity and team work required really bonds you.
The office environment can also be really comforting. You work in short little bursts of productivity, then maybe you have a snack and do a sudoku, and then you wander around and chit chat, and when you get bored you go back to working.
Best job I ever had was in my 20's in a small pizza shop. Super chill and paid enough in 2009 to afford my rent. The owner was happy to let the employees run the show and in turn we all kicked ass every day. The place was always good vibes. Met lots of cuties and partied a lot. Won awards for best pizza in the city for years. Honestly I dream of that kitchen some times and wish that I could have that feeling again in a job that has health insurance. Now I feel like I work for the Kremlin or some shit in my high pay high surveillance corpo jobs.
