    As a lil’ heads up, this post is from an antiwork community. That aside, which kind of work are you getting fulfillment from? Another comment here makes a good point that these terms are sort of loaded with different meanings for each of us.

    Personally I don’t find much of my work satisfying because I find it difficult to keep it from helping big businesses in some way.

        I follow ya. I feel like busywork is probably one of the better words to describe what many in antiwork communities are getting at. Unfulfilling, often for someone else and to their greater profit/benefit over yours and others’ own with seemingly no other purpose than that.

        In a lot of ways it’s a more familiar way of talking about alienated labor without putting people off.
