When did you realized hard work doesn't pay off

For me it was after 1 year of working
At first I tried but only when I stopped trying I noticed the results being the same. Working harder just gets Mr Shekelstein more money.
I've seen people who work harder get fired over stupid things. Meanwhile my shitposting self got a promotion and I'm the last one standing.
Corporations are a joke

read the gervais principle or books by jeffrey pfeffer
shit redpilled me so hard that it fucked me up for a while, but eventually you get over it and accept the way the world works

After I made a boatload on crypto, dropped out of college after I realized I hated office work, fell back on military experience doing a job that I almost never have to deal with people and the hours are strictly on call with salary. It pays the bills until I 100% make it from crypto. Then I can start my real life.

That's only the first step. If you get really lucky, you get a big promotion and a big raise and lots more responsibility. Then you see how making 100k isnt that much better than 50k and your life just got 4X worse. Then you either face up that your life is shit now, or you do something crazy like become a NEET.

My friend got hired at a small company that got bought out by a massive company only 6 months later. He lives to party and never took his career seriously. Meanwhile I've always tried to be the best in my field, constantly learning on my own. Yet he gets a massive multi million dollar payout because he was at the right place at the right time.

This makes me what to an hero.

Being lazy is first sign of troubleshooting complex ideas. Next, how long it takes for you to figure it out. Don't over think your 'why' you fell for the school meme. most of education can be done by yourself. Having conviction and discipline are great to allow yourself to go through with your idea

Become Mr Shekelstein then if its so easy

How to convert to Judaism? Serious question

>t.Shekelstein

Just stop being poor

Being a blindly hard worker doesn't entitle you to being promoted in many cases. You can be a loyal hard working dog that breaks his back pushing a rock through a field with everyone else or you can be lazy minded and throw some logs under that bitch. If you don't bring anything new to the table, what makes you anymore valuable than the work mule you present yourself as?

1 year in the work force I noticed as a man no one gives a shit how many problems you solve or projects you make work, your name is only ever brought up when something goes wrong and it’s your fault. Now as a woman if they just do their job they get rewarded with praise, bonuses, promotions etc. it comes mostly from beta males and other women promoting this dumb shit but the combo of that and watching everyone I went to school with become nothing more than 40-50k a year wagie’s with nothing to show for damn near a decade of “work” besides the one or two kids I know from 1%er families. Seriously find a side hustle, whether it’s crypto, selling drugs, working with your hands. Find something that will make you more money that sacrifices little of your time or it’s something you enjoy doing. Modern wage cuckoldry barely pays you enough to survive.

Took about 10 years

I fell for the loyalty meme. Finally quit when they brought in a family member with no experience for the job I was after

once I realised you get NOTHING for busting your ass and doing the job well. The people who get perks and benefits are the ones who constantly bitch, complain, and call in sick. They get showered with sympathy and get easy treatment, while suckers work hard and shoulder the load.

I thought at first it was just my previous job, but after working a few more places I understand thats just the way it is. If you want to advance you are better off spending your time socialising with the higher ups/ass kissing.

>be me
>self taught in extremely niche field
>start freelancefagging for company
>no mentoring whatsoever, be told to handle complex projects for absolute shit tier pay
>spend hundreds of hours reading books, listening to seminars, trying to figure this shit out
>1.5 years in hit paydirt
>crack sales records, I make my company millions
>"wow Im sure now its time they recognize my hard work and my life will get better"
>ask for bonus
>middle management roastie flips the fuck out, calls me unreasonable
>write angry email back
>MM roasties team up against me, get the big bossman involved
>tell bossman all the shit these roasties pulled
>bossman agrees with me but STILL sides with his mm roasties
>to this day still owes me 500 bucks for a project I finished years ago
>I decide to fuck it and just phone it in like every other asshole at that company
>now working for direct competitor for almost twice the pay lmao
and then they wonder why they cant find motivated people anywhere. heres a hint: maybe you shouldnt treat your top talent like trash while letting useless roastie management types run the show.

some lessons are expensive

6 years.
>Bust my ass at new company for a year, 6 months in I'm running circles around coworkers
>perfect performance review >raise+bonus didn't even keep up with inflation
>now work maybe 20 hours a week instead of 40+

Get your shit together corporate America

The merit based economy is dead. What people don't tell you these days is that there are just too many qualified people and not enough jobs. If you don't have connections YOU ARE FUCKED because 500 other people with the same credentials as you or better applied to that job already. If you've ever been able to tell that some idiot making 500k a year isn't as smart as you are, then you're probably right. He was probably just born into it or knew somebody.

Merit based economy never existed, people will always favor relations and trust over qualifications and hard work
