If work were all unicorns and rainbows, it wouldn’t be work. Employers are businesses so things that drive revenue/profit for them are the work that needs to get done. You can’t argue that figuring out ways to show people more ads is meaningful work, but it has to get done by somebody.

If someone had enough F.U. money saved up to FIRE, you can guarantee they won’t show up for their boss the next day. As it stands, nobody ever goes to work at their current job whenever they get a windfall; they always leave to follow their passions.
