You get punishment if you cannot do the work.
You even get punishment if you can do the work.
What is the work and what is the punishment?
You get punishment if you cannot do the work.
You even get punishment if you can do the work.
What is the work and what is the punishment?
The work is:
Living
The punishment is:
Death
Because:
If you cannot live, you will die.
If you do live, you will (eventually) die.
I don't think it's the answer, but worth a shot.
The work:
Political Leader
The punishment:
Blame
Reasoning:
If they do a bad job - they get blamed for everything, if they do a good job - they still get blamed for everything
Well, I find this intriguingly straight forward here, but I'm not sure whether it's what is being looked for.
So I'll have a go at this.
The work is : A killing contract by some mafia leader maybe ! Obviously, if he does accomplish his job, he gets punished by the judicial system and the law, and if he fails to do so, the one who assigned him the task invariably punishes him.
The work is
Parenting
The punishment is:
Stress
Reasoning:
Well, parenting (from what my mom tells me) is a 24 hour, nonstop, acclimated stress, with absolutely no payment besides white hair and financial deficit. When you are a parent, you are punished with stress from kids. However, you still get stressed even without parenting (bills, studies, overdue IRS taxes, etc.)
