The difference between physical damage and psychic damage.

I worked in an office environment that regularly interacted with field workers. They would often give us grief about how easy our jobs are (being in an air conditioned office, on chairs, etc). Two of them got injured and in order to keep them earning a paycheck, and keep their sick hours, they came to help us in the office. They were supposed to be on restrictive duty for months I believe. Within two weeks they begged to go back into the field doing anything except helping us. Haven't heard any grief from them since. Haha.

I hope this email finds you well. Just to remind all employees that crying should be through as personal leave and signed off by your manager.

I wish we had a "bring your kid to work" day so I can show my child how it feels to be in four back-to-back 1-hour meetings with the most brain dead takes and people going, "Let's table that" and "I hear what you're saying and we're saying the same thing" And then everyone gets drunk at Chilis before another round of four back-to-back one hour meetings.

That's real endurance.

Hey if it makes you feel any better, most farms are corporate owned and so they get to work in hot, back breaking fields for someone else's profit instead!

Fun fact: you can have a soul sucking office job AND do farm work! Just get a horse or two!

bonus points if you have to deal with deeply toxic office politics

They'll never even make it to the office, because of all the terrifying minorities in the city who have the audacity to exist.
