Give me your jobs.

I don't work anymore. But when I did work, I was a window cleaner.
I like cleaning windows. I like all the equipment, the tools etc. They are like toys to me. I even liked designing my own stuff.
I hate collecting. Knock on door, hi windows please. repeat. Basically, I hate seeing people, and I especially hate seeing people time and time and time again.
Christmas is the worst, because whatever boss I had would send you round collecting and force you to say "merry xmas from your window cleaner"
Brody Collins
May i ask why you dont work anymore? Whats the story
Jayden Thompson
Working in a supermarket during christmas, my section is supposed to be a shitshow but I'm thankful that I don't work in meat still though, would love to change my fucking job to something that would pay me more than fucking 300 bucks a week.

i genuinely price it with all the fat on then just mangle the fucking roast and sell it to them. enjoy your flavorless roast you cunts
the funny part is, they do
Jordan Watson
I just finished writing a lengthy complaint email to the customer service department in Gamestop because of their inept buffoons that they hire to work in their shops. Honestly if you work for Gamestop just fuck off and die, I hate you cunts. Does it really need to take 30 mins for you to find me a copy of crash bandicoot in the drawers you obviously haven't organised properly. Fucking cuntbags. I hope they get fucking sacked. Lower class vermin that work in these retail jobs need to be culled.
William Taylor
You don't allow card payment for gift cards? Weird

Ian Cooper
OH FUCKING BOY
This is actually the first year I'm volunteering to work on Christmas (usually the busiest day of the year for my theater) because we have TWO FUCKING PERIOD MOVIES and it's gonna be absolutely insane, and I don't want them to be a hand short. Plus I don't want to visit the Asian side of my family in Virginia, they're gonna make fun of me for being fat and I'm working on getting better.
Working in the box office is fucking stellar because I get to watch normies cry over not being able to see their shit Period joint even though they came in like 20 minutes late.

for real why don't stores allow credit cards to be used for gift cards and prepaid credit
Justin Cooper

>he gives it to me, half eaten
>starts pointing out the cheese that we forgot to take off
>it's cheddar
>we only use provolone
>refuse to give him the new sandwich
>he throws a tantrum
>walk away from him mid tantrum and go back to store
>overworked manager is talking to him on the phone
>manager tells him, in polite customer service language, to fuck off
>lets me keep the remade roast beef sandwich
Sometimes it pays off to have managers who are even more sick of customer service bullshit than you are.

i used to window clean too! As far as maintenance goes it was very chill. Untill I was standing on the second to last rung on a 4 stack ladder.

>concrete mixer silos
>spent the last two weeks and should the next one shoveling left over concrete mix out of old silos we are supposed to restore
Other than me being wrecked tired all the time its okay,i like that i just get an assignment to do and then everyone leaves me alone until its done.Even welded myself some bookshelves when there was nothing to do.

i feel kinda bad for being the only NEET in the family
but then i see the weird sleeping hours they have like my mom for instance, she gets up really early to get to her teaching job which is like a hour an a half drive away and when she gets time off she sleeps the whole day
really sad

Aiden Cox
Work in a 6 employee company as a junior dev in Java/c++. One of my boomer coworkers is a real asshole and is fucking mean to me, telling me I'm doing a shitty work. He started hating me when I corrected him on a fact concerning the release date of Donkey Kong Arcade. From this day he hated my guts. I still have 8 days to go before the end of my contract. I'm on the edge. + he's the oldest dude in the company and basically as important as my boss so there's no way I can shut his fucking mouth. What should I do?
Lincoln Moore
My friend is a produce manager at an independent grocer and makes $60k a year but works 7 days a week during the holidays and 6 days during normal months.
He thinks he has a good job, is he right?
Also, I'm on a paid holiday due to being a permanent, but my job sucks as I am a debt collector.
Can I participate in wage feels?
Mason Richardson
Depends where your friend lives user. Does he live in commiefornia or an actual liveable state like Kentucky?

5 years 12 hour shifts 5 days a week in a warehouse won't be that bad right?
12 hour shifts in a factory for 5 years won't be bad either right?
I only need to do 5 years, how do you get through the intense degradation and humiliation/ostracizing from others who think you're worthless and can't even banter them back/talk to make the time pass quicker for them/not make them feel uncomfortable/actually have a personality? What do you do when they just constantly shit on you and think you're an overemotional and boring faggot who isn't enjoyable to be around in the slightest, who they can take pleasure out of degrading and making your life hell while you're there? wondering why you are so nervous and mute all the time for no reason they can fathom, except they realize unconsciously that you're to be rightfully abused because you attract abuse
How does one get through all that unable to hide the visible signs that they can affect you with mere words or bantering insults or just passive aggression/looking down on you/not wanting to work with you/voicing their hatred/annoyance of you to others?
Jayden Smith

Nicholas Allen
Tell your fucking manager youre sick of it.
Easton Martinez
also, how do you do all this with your heart pounding constantly (even the second you wake up), cold sweats, visible trembling, feeling like you can't eat before, intense feelings of dread/impending doom, intrusive suicidal thoughts which heighten when you're around others, recurring nightmares where you see their mocking, jeering faces imprinted in your vision when you close your eyes and you waking up scared wanting nothing else but to do anything to avoid it all happening again?

they couldn't pay me double what they do now to actually make me enjoy working there. I fucking hate it.
Cameron Taylor
Go get literally any other retail job user. People who work at McDonald's or fast food service with retail experience are fucking brainlets.
Xavier Ross
Don't I fucking know it. The customers aren't even the main reason I can't fucking stand it there, it's my coworkers. Most of them are either just normies I can't relate to or 30IQ fucking idiots. I feel genuinely bad for the handful of actual people who have to suffer there too.
Lincoln Gutierrez
i wasnt even a manager when i was there, just another wageslave whose job NEEDED to be done every day, no matter how late we needed to stay. managers sent Cashiers home early to cut hours but just looked the other way after i hustled through an 11 hours shift.
Nathaniel Hernandez
Look at small retail spots like shoe stores or mall stores user. You'll be a lot happier I promise and they're usually quick to promote. Thats how I made manager in 7 months.
Austin Hill
Why do you need to do 5 years? What's your plan afterwards?
Dylan Richardson
buy a few acres of cheap rural isolated land, build a cabin, grow a quarter acre of varied crops and some livestock later maybe to cut off all need of outside food sources, only paying a couple thousand in council tax per year no other expenses
probably last about 10-15 years until I run out of money, then I'll see how the country and the world is at that time if necessary work whatever shit job I can for whatever I need to pay in another few years of council tax

Cameron Lopez
i quit my job 6 months ago and i'm so glad i did. i don't love living with my parents, but it sure as fuck beats a 9-5 shit job where you only make $18/hr
wagecucking is terrible. i just do a bit of freelance work and i can afford food and whatever else i need (i have very modest desires).
i can't even fathom that a job/career out there exists that would be enjoyable. how the fuck can someone say they actually like their jobs? sometimes i wish i had that level of self-delusion, just make up lies in your head and believe them

Michael Flores
this but do so on christmas week.
if you got balls, quit on a busy week. but before you do, tell the roastie all employees are protesting for pay increase. that will encourage her to also no show on a busy week
Bentley Price
america just became the largest producer of oil. so if youre in the u.s. id go with oil. otherwise go be a lineman. but what do i know, ive been neet for 3 years. ask actual pros and not a buncha walmart employees

>mother can't work due to a disability
>moved back in with my mother and working my ass off as an agency temp at a shitty manufacturing job under the most repulsive asshole boss on the planet just so I can keep a roof over my mother's head and get gifts for my family for christmas
Honestly if I didn't have family I wouldn't be here, I'd be content to live under a fucking bridge but god fucking damn it all I can't just let my mother's life be torn apart like that. I'm probably gonna lose the job after christmas and we'll be made homeless.
Honestly fucking hate my life recently lads. I just want to get on a bus to a random town and start all over again.
Lincoln Ward
dude i would kill for a factory job. you dont realize how great that is. it beats getting constantly disturbed by faggots who want to know which isle the aluminum foil is in. just wait until youre in my position... youll miss that job. with that said i know how you feel. my parents pressured me to stay at a sales job i clearly dont have a knack for. they dropped me off at random ghettos and told me to knock on doors trying to sell contracts. they wanted to charge me for gas too. they also said theyd cover my lunch but that was a lie
Ryan Jones
Retail is hell on earth around christmas because of how chaotic and stressful it is but trust me the unbearable monotony of a manufacturing job isn't much easier to deal with.
Ryder Bell
I am in the US, and also good point on asking elsewhere. My main concern is my parents tell me the people that work oil rigs are the same type you'd find in prison, that might just be boomer shit though.
Fuck I wish I could be neet again
Thomas Morris
oh and by they i meant my insane supervisors. they dropped me and other newfags off at ghettos while the supervisors went to nice, upperclass neighborhoods
honestly it depends on who your workmates are and how human the managers are. manufacturing pays more and thats all it takes for me to consider it the superior gig
Jeremiah Jackson
The factory I'm working has multiple positions and they have me what is essentially the dumpster man job where I get to walk the floor cleaning up the shit the lineworkers drop and killing your back moving and dumping 60+pound bins of fruit waste onto conveyor belts. Shit is fucking torture, and even you work on the line your wrists will be destroyed from the repetitive motions.
Lucas Bell
>I'm kinda stoked and ready.
this will wear off quickly
