Explain to me why I should feel bad about having a good (and/or easy) job when people like 1-2 levels above me in management make way more than I do and have no qualms about being bad at their job?

There is no point or value to this kind of guilt tripping and the perspective here is incredibly limited.

GP's comment is absurd. I mean, if you're not following the grindset and working 3 different jobs at once, are you even really feeling the fire in your belly?

Perhaps C-levels should be better at their jobs and feel the "fire in their belly" (what an obnoxious phrase) to not harmfully impact so many people at once.

pardon the change in topic but what does GP stand for? is is like OP but for a comment thread?

I don't think you should feel 'bad', but personally I feel extremely grateful and lucky to enjoy doing something that happens to be very marketable skill.

I often think about people in other professions who have to work harder in poorer conditions for less money.

For me, the best way to direct these feelings is to recognise I don't deserve this any more than those others in any meaningful sense, to try and live modestly and help out others to try and redress some of the imbalance.

The higher paid superiors are just more of a tiny fraction of the population who happen also to be in an extremely lucky position

It makes sense if you lick boots and are a quisling.

From that frame of reference, it's so good the plebs have to continue their gladiatorial combat.
