It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World ………. is it ???

I believe YN is going down the back in the day macho man route Arby .

He seems to forget the cushy numbers at the pits along with the more physical and demanding work .

The fact that the advancements in technology have also contributed greatly to the workplace today and whilst in many cases the physical side may not be what it once was the mental demands have more than replaced them .

Call Centre work is also very mentally demanding .

I've worked in Warehouse and Distribution for the last 30 odd years and my body has had a beating , thankfully I've a role now more in keeping with a man of my age , which is just as well because I couldn't do what I once did .

Where he's going with " we didn't dwell on things in my day " I'm not certain .

That's because back in the day nobody dared talk about mental health for fear of ridicule .

Thankfully things have moved on from those dinosaur years .

Agreed Animal, especially in terms of advancement in technology and mental demands being greater these days. Thinking can be as tiring as performing physical tasks. I've done plenty of physical work away from my day job, but like you, I'm thankful that I don't have to work doing physical tasks, such as brickwork, plastering or similar at my age now, because I would definitely struggle to do it week after week 😉
