Bree Groff emphasizes that most workdays should be enjoyable rather than full of struggle. The notion that work should be seen as painful or a source of identity leads to burnout. Instead, work can be a space for creation and collaboration where individuals enjoy what they do. Groff challenges the idea of wishing away the workweek, highlighting the importance of looking forward to Mondays and viewing work as a valuable, fun aspect of life rather than a necessary hardship.
"Most work, most days, should be fun. It’s not normal to choose being high performing over happy. Work can simply be fun!"
"We don’t get paid because work is painful. We get paid because we create value. The pain is entirely optional."
"It became very clear: when we wish away the workweek, we wish away our lives. What would it take for us to look forward to Monday?"
"So much about the working world is patently ridiculous. It's not normal to be too busy to eat or to look at email before your partner."
