When it all boils down, you're there doing a job for money because the only way they can get somebody to do it is by paying them. It is a negative thing in your life. That's why you're getting paid to do it.

    This just isn't automatically the case.

    If you have a dream job that fulfills you in every way and is nothing but a positive (I've had three such jobs), you still need to eat, pay bills, etc. So you still need to be paid for it.

    How positive or negative the job is doesn't enter into whether or not people need to be paid to do the job.

      We can safely assume that at least 80% of people don't have a dream job.

The fundamental relationship of capitalism, i.e. capital owner employing people to work for him and make him money, is quite toxic. No wonder it seeps into the workplace relationships.

    This is exactly right and people want to ignore the fact that unless you play the capitalism game, you basically die.

    There are no alternatives

      Yep. Toxicity is just built in into foundations of our society and, like you said, at this point there are no alternatives.
