Great point. People often try to measure "willingness to work" by looking at "willingness to harm yourself", often in service of making somebody else wealthy. Well, they do that for poor people. People of the right caste are instead, "funemployed", "taking a sabbatical", "looking for the right thing", or "a socialite".

One of the silver linings for me of the pandemic is how much the Great Resignation is revealing to the general public how much "essential workers" were poorly paid and miserable. Not even in a way that was necessitated by the work itself, but just because their bosses could get away with being jerks.
