(this is just a joke - of course farmwork still has physically demanding parts)

Your fake farmer toughness wouldn't last a day working in an artificially-lit, soul sucking office cubicle for someone else's profit!

Ha! Gotcha farmers!

Now if you'll excuse me I need to cry.

I worked in an office environment that regularly interacted with field workers. They would often give us grief about how easy our jobs are (being in an air conditioned office, on chairs, etc). Two of them got injured and in order to keep them earning a paycheck, and keep their sick hours, they came to help us in the office. They were supposed to be on restrictive duty for months I believe. Within two weeks they begged to go back into the field doing anything except helping us. Haven't heard any grief from them since. Haha.

I hope this email finds you well. Just to remind all employees that crying should be through as personal leave and signed off by your manager.

I wish we had a "bring your kid to work" day so I can show my child how it feels to be in four back-to-back 1-hour meetings with the most brain dead takes and people going, "Let's table that" and "I hear what you're saying and we're saying the same thing" And then everyone gets drunk at Chilis before another round of four back-to-back one hour meetings.

That's real endurance.

You could even play fun games, every time someone says “moving forward” or “going forward” or whatever, kid takes a shot.

Fun fact: you can have a soul sucking office job AND do farm work! Just get a horse or two!

They'll never even make it to the office, because of all the terrifying minorities in the city who have the audacity to exist.

The difference between physical damage and psychic damage.
