Lol you know the moral of that story is the exact opposite. He ends up doing all the things so he can actually relax the next day. Anyway nice shitpost

Except, in capitalism, there is no "actually relax the next day."

There's always more work to do. You wake up the next day and do it all again. You make it to the end of the week, and on Saturday you catch up on all the shit around the house you didn't get to. Sunday you have more shit to do. Monday comes and you go back to work.

A side effect of the alienation of labor is that there's no incentive to "get it all done and then relax the next day." No, you get it all done and then it's onto the next job. If you go above and beyond, you set a new precedent and then your boss expects that from you every day from now on, and if you revert to a "normal" pace then you get reprimanded.

Yup I've made it my goal at work to see how long I can drag things out, my favorite is when things drag on so long it ends up getting canceled. My team spends a lot of time with nothing to do but its remote work so I know they don't mind.

My company underpays all of us by a lot so I figure this makes us even.

Yeah, do the work they're paying you for. If they're underpaying you, do the amount of work what they're paying you is worth. Companies need to learn that workers have leverage/bargaining power.

The moral isn't the opposite. Toad becomes stressed about all the work that needs to be done tomorrow. He instead gets all his work done pretty quickly, takes the rest of the day off, and resolves to do nothing the next day now that he's more relaxed.
