>We're almost there
Yea fuck you guys.

Still working 7 days a week. Machines still has 50ish orders. The third shift guy that runs my machines is a retard. Looked over his numbers yesterday and the fucker has been running 8-12 parts a hour while I been pumping out 18-26 a hour when the machines are running good. Its going to take about a good 2 months to get caught up but might be longer due to third shift.

You know some fucker had to design those chairs. Put his heart into them. The swoop for back support, the gap below it to save on materials, calculating just the right average height for the step-up bars on the feet.

Then someone said "actually, we need it to support *four* hundred pounds."

lmao when you put it like it...

I guess what I'm saying is I don't need him, but I'm grateful for that guy.

Especially if he worked in China or something, had to convert it to kilograms first, and was utterly astonished that humans could even get so large.

I'm grateful I'm alive and healthy with a OK job

How about you OP?

see
I really do have it nice tbqh

All together about 6 figures, my white collar IT/data wagie position is only about 40k though. The difference is I get my own office and get to dress nice so you feel 5x better about yourself than wearing a stupid uniform at some dead end job where you have to run and hide when you see people from HS. Having other forms of income in addition to your first job is kind of important because unless you have serious connections you aren’t going to be making that much straight out of school despite what all the LARPers on Jow Forums say about their 300k starting salary as software devs.

westies in yet?

I'm grateful for my gf, she's sweet and makes tea for me before I even wake up, and packs my lunch for me, and I even got her to play yugioh with me. Life's not so bad.

I have the choice to work at home as a software developer. I enjoy going to work for the socializing aspect though. My weekends are kinda lonely imo.

:D

>$200 a month
Is this the life constantly being shilled? You’re joking right, about bringing in $200 a month? How could you live on that. It’s squalor, it’s poverty. Even $1,000 is poverty

I don't understand how a man can stay sane working in an office.

please respond

please respond

we don't

I did an internship in an office and started doing drugs after 3 months because I couldn't do it sober anymore, but had to finnish 6 months there.

lunch hour frens

whats to eat today

As a financial/business analyst intern, should I expect any meaningful work?

I’ve been here for over a month now and they’ve tasked me with getting Power BI implemented within the office but no clear direction or timeframe to do it. I’ve basically got some best practices and basic attempts at standardizing it, but nothing else as there isn’t really a next step yet. Now, my manager has given me some data entry assignment to reconcile expenditures.

I think this data entry stuff is better suited for an admin assistant than me, but then again it comes back to my original question of interns and expecting any meaningful work.

depends on the company

interns can either be well integrated into projects or keyboard bitches lol

Lunch time boys. What's on the menu?

Bartender here.
The only cool thing about my job is that I can drink and every now and then I'll get a huge tip. Other than that my job sucks. I'm not a people person so being a bartender is fucking brutal for me. I'm only in this position because the other bar tender is out, so I got to take his place until the owner finds a new bartender.

I'm going back to school this fall but, I feel like am just going to be wasting my time. I'm not sure if I am smart enough for school and to be working in a real job. I've only been working in shitty minimum wage jobs and I feel like this is going to be my life forever.

What are you studying?

Office job, healthcare industry, $70k/year, fresh graduate. Not bad at all, relatively small office which is mostly women, but they're either redpilled as fuck or totally chill and know how to shoot the shit.

Thankful for good career development, good friendships and health. And for my 10k linkies.

Business Admin. I know its not a great major but I already switched 3 times. I feel like if I have a degree, I'll be able to get my foot through some doors.

At least when you're bartending you look like a Chad. I've seen nerdy manlet dudes behind the bar, but when someone is bartending they automatically assume Chad status because everybody has to respect them in order to get a beer. That should increase your chances of getting laid.

i deliver pizza for about $15/hour after tax and expenses and am 28 years old, feel really bad

i can only invest and save like $500/monthly, will i ever make it? even with a pretty risky portfolio beating the market and actively making changes as necessary, still need insane returns annually to be able to retire by age 50 which is my goal

I'm thankful I didn't jump into crypto in January, like I was thinking about. It's been fun watching all of you get ground into the dirt.

is this the faze of Jow Forums?

Degrees are the ultimate necessary evil, yeah

If you show you can bullshit your way enough through 4 years a lot of places will talk to you at least

lmao wrong buddy. I'm probably the most aspie bartender you'll meet. When I get overwhelmed, I start to stutter and shake a little bit. I think the only reason why I get good tips it because people think I have legit autism. They're just being nice and tipping well.

Lol'ed in real life

WAGE

I'm grateful to be born white and male in a first world country where I live life on easy mode.

Nope, not gonna make it.

>late-twenties male with humanities degree from top 20 university
>applying for entry-level property management positions
>have strong grasp of the business (vendors, market, etc. from growing up with family business, pitching in with the work throughout my life, acting as an on-site property manager), plus office skills, business communication, copyediting/copywriting, etc..
>not proud of my resume, but i'm applying for entry-level positions here
>get interviewed 50% of the time by some wannabe gordon gekko who thinks his "boutique" firm needs more aggressive business strategists and not people who can represent an aspirational lifestyle/local culture of the properties for the braindead upper crust wage slaves who zombie shuffle their way towards whatever fad properties and services they're leasing to
>they act really hurried and impatient
>they always ask "how many properties does your family's portfolio contain?"
>want to just tell them to get into slum lording if all they want is money and zero class/culture because they're getting ass fucked by just 5 massive billion dollar international real estate companies in this city and they can never, ever compete
>like rehabbing a handful of tiny commercial properties gives you the right to act like a bipolar mogul
>interviewed at one of those big companies and the CFO is actually polite and personable, doesn't give a shit about impressing anyone

can self-employed real estate investors in their thirties who call themselves CEOs get ANY more pathetic???

ever consider moving up?

On a forced 3 day medical leave due to my wife possibly having the measles. Since she's possibly infected, and I sleep with her. I can spread the disease. Thankfully our 1 year old got her shots last month on her birthday.

At least i don't have to go to work at Callaway. And all next week i'm doing part of my annual tour for the air force reserves. Sweet sweet release here i come.

i stuff envelopes for $15 an hour, what do

i mean yeah but i dont have any other skills bro

not sure im passionate enough about anything to go through school and start a whole memey career about it, hate dealing with office shit

well dude you can't have it both ways

you say you want to retire by 50 but you won't be doing it on a pizza boy wage. there's a reason you see those 80 year old greeters at walmart. do you want that to be you?

there are still trades if you don't want office bullshit. go to trade school, get an internship, offer to do all the grunt work just to learn a bit then work your way up. not trying to be a jerk i'm just being realistic here.

I would love to do something in Finance/Investing but 'financial advisors' all seem like super scams; just buy QQQ/SPY/maybe some blue chippers and your good to go
Other financial jobs take a thousand years of school which I hate and internships and entry level grunt shit and office politics and im either too old or too bad at that stuff to make it

I CAN make it long term if i maintain a high risk profile like I am now; I have my parents who will never let me become homeless as a backup in essence so I can be riskier than the average person....still going to need insane gains though

Is there any reasonable way to start investing whilst having a job?
I make 36k euros a year but I live with my parents so I don't pay rent.

Trying to decide what career I want to get into(working at a grocery store out of high school, college is a scam), Thinking of starting a Lawn care company. Cutting grass makes me happy. Although electricians make good money and I would also enjoy that, but I wouldn't say I am passionate about it like I am cutting grass.

Im grateful for having the choice to work on weekends for double time. Its not expected of me but the option is there if i want more money

Yep "Financial advisors/Financial service professionals" are all just scams to get you to sell insurance and shitty expensive annuities

100% agree on investing in the index ETFs/total stock market.

If cutting grass makes you happy go work for your county. Its a $19 dollar an hour government salary with health and paid vacation. In the winter you just drive snowplows or man a radio.

I'm in the south so I doubt there will be much snow plowing haha. That is a good point though. Although not something I could do for my whole life, but defiantly a way to get experience.

1h 35m

Have Friday and Monday booked off for a camping trip.

Going camping is the patrician /wage/ getaway. Vacation cucks who spend all their savings going to tropical resorts will never make it.

took last Thursday and Friday off and left work early on Wednesday to go to the mountains/lakeside cabin

was comfy af

Consider working a ton of hours or trying to wait tables

i do work like 50 hours a week if i decide to pick some up and get some good OT, but even then im only saving like $1,000 a month if I do that every week

not nearly enough bro need way bigger gains than that

BYE

it's.

motherfucking.

TIME.

Have to clock in in seven minutes.

I am thankful for crypto keeping my dreams alive, even if deep down I know I'm going to be a wagie until I am wrinkled and grey.

gl wage fren

I am thankfull that I'm not part of the 98%

tfw no bf

I am fucking ecstatic for you man. Life is about the small things. No amount of money can replace that

>Icebreaker: What are you grateful for? There's always a lot of negativity in these threads, and sometimes for good reason, but what in your life are you actually thankful for?
Parents paid for school and car paid off, so no debt. Good job at a good company in a good country. Moved often as a kid so I was exposed to viewpoints I otherwise never would have seen. With the internet I have nearly unlimited access to information and entertainment. I'm healthy and not disabled. Dry summers, the cool breeze before a heavy rain, and dogs.
