The scam isn’t ‘hard work’
The scam is the ‘a job gives you(r life) purpose’ narrative.
Nope, times a thousand. Meaningful relationships, having realistic (but still challenging) goals, self-expression, responsibility for the well-being of others and engaging in meaningful initiatives, among many others, do.
I worked hard and my bosses noticed so I got rewarded with more work. I took pride in it at the time but eventually burned out hard and when I changed jobs they didn’t even do an exit interview with me. I’m embarrassed by how much of a sucker I was.
We were all that sucker at some point

Hard work for its own sake or for self-fulfilment is not a scam and can be very rewarding. Hard work as a means to escape systemic inequality and poverty cycles absolutely is.
Hard work for self fulfillment, yeah I agree with you. Hard work for the sake of hard work, uh,
Hard not to feel that way about it.
