There is no such thing as easy jobs anymore because the job of your boss is make your life miserable and get you bored and frustrated until you break. Once you are broken, your boss will fire you and hire another person to replace you as if you were a piece of disposable junk.

Welcome to modern capitalism.

This is overgeneralising. There are plenty of jobs and bosses that this doesn't apply to. In most cases your manager is also a person who's doing whatever they can with what they're given, not some entity that exists for the sole purpose of making your life miserable.

There are good companies with good jobs out there, but they are exception, not the rule.

I consider it my job as the boss to protect my employees and make sure their lives aren't miserable. While people mills like that do exist, not every job is designed to be as miserable as possible.

Nah. There are plenty of bosses out there who are smart or lazy enough not to micromanage.

This. Most jobs are bullshit jobs. Sounds awesome but they're paying you for something -- if its not output its to get dumped on.

Go somewhere where you are valued my friend

Any tips for finding such a place?

Who hurt you?

Nobody. You don't need to go far away to see how companies care about employees, just search here on HN to see lots of articles about wage theft, unpaid work hours, unpaid benefits and a lot of other stuff.

My guess would be his company/boss.

Edgy take there comrade.
