Rowing and the sentence of 35 years ahead

The question of what to spend our wages on after a week of hard rowing has turned into an X-ray of job burnout and hopelessness about retirement. While some admit their income evaporates into mortgages, others debate whether it's worth being promoted to supervisor for a handful of extra euros, or whether retirement is an unattainable utopia before the next three decades.

The trap of workplace responsibility
The debate in the Nursery section reflects deep skepticism about career advancement. Most agree that taking on the supervisor role doesn't make up for the added responsibility given the meager pay rise. The general feeling is one of exhaustion: the idea of being chained to the oar for 35 more years is a weight hanging over the forum users, who seek refuge in digital escapism or personal routines to get through the week.

The reality of the years that remain
The conversation turns blunt when actual retirement timelines are laid on the table. Some users see the 10 years separating them from retirement as an eternity, while others, with 35 years of work ahead, accept the rowing as an unavoidable sentence. Irony and dark humor are the only tools left when the career horizon turns opaque and employers show no sign of giving ground.

Is resignation the only way forward, or are we facing a generation of rowers who have decided that effort no longer pays off?
