Is everybody just phoning it in for a boss that just needs you to do busy work?

Just want to drop the concept of Ikigai here:

I would encourage anyone who is interested in this concept to do a little more reading on the concept. Ikigai is a lot more than just fulfillment with employment- which is closer to the concept known as hatarakigai. I appreciate you sharing this meme though- it was how I was first introduced to the concept.

Could you recommend something to read?

There's a free app called Kinnu that has a learning pathway on the subject. You can also read some of the articles for free here: https://kinnu.xyz/kinnuverse/philosophy/ikigai/

Some of the material is based on "The Little Book of Ikigai" by Ken Mogi, if you prefer books.

Thanks, I'll have a look at both.
