Occupationalize
To make something you do for fun into a job that pays you but also makes you want to die
My sister occupationalized her baking. Now she makes pastries all day and gets yelled at by customers who hate sugar.
He occupationalized his video games. Now he plays 12 hours a day and gets paid in imaginary points.
She occupationalized her gossiping. Now she gets paid to talk about other people’s lives and gets fired if she’s too quiet.
