For someone who is not antiwork but still should learn to be mindful about the wonders of worklife.

The business sees you as a replaceable cog in their machine. They’re paying you to do the job now, but they could replace you with someone else and it’s all the same to them.

So to you, the business is a replaceable source of income. It’s ok to like your job, and it’s ok to like your coworkers, but if at some point you choose to move on, you just do it and no hard feelings. Don’t give into any guilt trips or gaslighting you to want to stay: this is a business arrangement, and as soon as you leave they’ll just hire someone else to replace you.

Outside of that, just show up and leave on time and don’t go out of your way to piss people off, and you should do fine.
