Work is literally the worst thing I've ever experienced. Not because it's hard, not because I'm lazy, but because it's the one thing in my life that won't end. Work would be tolerable if it was one or two times a week, but for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, every week until the end of my life, I have to get up early in the morning, go do something I don't fucking like, come home, go to sleep and repeat the cycle.
I used to feel bad about this because people would call me lazy for not wanting to work. I feel like "laziness" was taught to over overworked culture to make us feel bad whenever we don't bend over for corporations. I had food poisoning last week and I felt like a piece of shit for calling in and telling my boss I couldn't make it. Because how could this multi million dollar business survive without me?
That's the wagie life user. Were born to work and work we will until work we can't. And then we get fucked when it comes time to enjoy that sweet tax Medicare they promised us.
Julian Davis
Suck it.
If you impose it on others, you're going to have to follow, for such is the law of karma.
>Work is literally the worst thing I've ever experienced. Not because it's hard, not because I'm lazy... >followed by admitting it is because it is hard and OP is lazy
I'm in your situation as well, all the way down to the hours and days. Looking at it from your perspective, I want to fucking kill myself. The trick is to actually use the money you earn to improve your future. Haul ass, live cheap, invest money, and one day you wake up and realize the money you made are now making you money themselves. THEN you can quit your job, sit on your ass and finally rejoin us here
No I like doing hard shit. I enjoy working when it benefits me. I love getting up in the morning and doing productive shit, mowing the lawn, working on my car, cooking, fixing shit around the house, working out, martial arts. I enjoy it all. But that's because they're all fun and productive. A job isn't fucking fun or productive, especially when you're underpaid. I don't want anything for free, I just feel like, with all the technology we have, why the fuck are we still over exerting ourselves? Why do we see killing ourselves at work as better than relaxation?
Cameron Nelson
That is not some great revelation- that is what everyone wants. It is just 95% of people do not whine about it
Blake Morgan
>But that's because they're all fun Yeah. Like I said. If they are not fun you whine. That is the key difference between winners & whiners, whiner.
Yeah. Why the fuck would I want to work for little benefit if I get no enjoyment out of it? Why do Americans think that spending your life NPCing through your week is honorable?
Wyatt Russell
8 hours, 6 days a week, minimum wage reporting in i fucking hate my life. i'm at my job right now btw, i skip work whenever i get the chance.
Gabriel Phillips
Ever stop to think about how fucking cruel human existence is? We have the capacity to understand and rationalize our life and the world around us and are forced for 40% of our waking existence to slave away, doing something we hate to make someone else rich for the privilege of continuing our own miserable existence. Fuck this world, fuck this species and fuck this life.
Ian Moore
KEEP WORKING. But start saving. invest in a few safe stocks. build your money up, then fucking escape. Go abroad and live there, go on a mad bender and fucking die. If you want to really live, do something extraordinary.
Lucas Watson
Fat voice from a fat neck.
Easton Reed
you ever think that if you stopped skipping work, you might not be on minimum wage?
Noah Barnes
Not him but he'd more than likely still be on minimum wage. Companies usually don't give you raises based on how hard you work.
Aiden Cook
A harder work ethic puts you in the right frame of mind for advancement though. I'm going to pick the guy who's here everyday and knows what's going on when I need something. I keep track of him. He'lll be in the back of my mind then when it's time to give a bonus, or a promotion, or just some shitty little "Employee Of The Month" badge. If you want to stand out, excel.
Aaron Edwards
>waaaah, why do I have to support myself? I am not American
Hudson James
>I have never managed people the post
Dylan Roberts
tell that for the people my boss fired because they asked for a raise. they were more experienced and yet they received less salary than the beginners in here. go fuck yourself goy. i skip work while i'm at my job, phoneposting from here.
Samuel Reyes
I don't give a fuck about standing out to you nigger you're a nobody. I just want to be free of this endless fucking cycle of meaningless work. We have the technology to take more time off of work but it's not even a conversation in this country.
In 1910, William Howard Taft said everyone should have 3 months off paid by law. But you say that shit today and people think you're a fucking lunatic. Do you realize that we don't even have paid days off by law in this country? If a woman has a baby here, her boss is fully entitled to tell her to be back at work the next day.
Easton Clark
Yes you are. You're American or you're some fag from another country that wants to be American. Only an American would try to make someone feel guilty for wanting to work less.
Asher Perry
wow, yeah fuck that place man. Nowhere else hiring? If you wanna be free from work, start saving. invest. learn a trade, perfect a talent. do something other than bitching because you don't get 3 months off from flipping burgers. Least the commies pretend they're gonna take some action.
Mason Kelly
>If you wanna be free from work, start saving. invest. learn a trade, perfect a talent. do something other than bitching because you don't get 3 months off from flipping burgers But why though? Why is it that we live in the most technologically advanced time in history, but we're still overworked and underpaid? Why is it that, in the 1910s, when they scaled our hours back to 40 hour weeks, they all thought that in the future, we'd hardly be working and live mostly in leisure since we'd have all these technological advancements? This isn't the way things were supposed to go. And I hate faggots like you who think this shit is acceptable. Should a new mother stop bitching too after her boss called her back into work hours after she had a child? America is the only country that does this shit. Our work culture is in there with third worlders.
Jose Reed
>Nowhere else hiring? i'm a high school dropout with tattoos and diagnosed with a few mental illness. nobody would hire me as any other person has more qualities and less defects than me. i've been working for 9 months and in the 12th month i'll quit. i already purchased my gaming computer and there's no more reason to remain on this job other than raising more money. maybe i'll go back to studying, but that's in the future.
Jonathan Thompson
World's fucking cruel man. The people up top wont ever, ever give a fuck about you. so get to the top. You can start changing the world when you get there. there's plenty of ways to work from home man, you just gotta focus. Life's given you a rough hand, and no one's going to make it easier, so dom your best with what you got.
Blake Butler
>so get to the top And what if I fail? The majority of people who weren't born near the top will never get to the top. The world isn't that cruel, people in other countries get paid vacation by law. People in other countries get 5 weeks paid vacation. People in other countries aren't expected to come into work when they're sick. People in other countries get paid enough to survive. People in other countries won't ruin themselves financially because they had to see a doctor. People in other countries aren't forced to come into work hours after having a baby. People in other countries don't call you crazy for talking about this.
Work in itself is a fact of life but this mentality that your whole life has to be dedicated to it and it's your fault for not becoming a millionaire is uniquely American. You have better odds of getting out of poverty in Vietnam than you do in America yet we're all supposed to reach the top and change the world.
Hudson James
You complain about conditions and refuse to change them. You could move. You could lobby, you could unionise. you could work hard somewhere else. But some fucking effort in man. complaining isn't doing shit if you won't put some action behind it. Everyone everywhere experiences your plight. but if you won't just take it, learn to act against it.
Carter Long
user, is it ok if I have a thread where I vent about life? Or am I not allowed to talk about anything that's not under your list of approved topics? Can you fuck off and let us blow off some fucking steam while we're wagecucking for the day? Is that ok with you?
Lincoln Hughes
REEEEEE. I mean sure man, vent all you want but you've got alot more shit out of your system arguing against me than just saying "muh pay bad, muh holiday short"
Sebastian King
Work life balance is encouraged at most companies and you shouldnt do a job you dislike. If youre worried about being called lazy but not about your mental health, I have no advice for you lil guy. Its the people who dont do any work but expect to be paid that are judged harshly anyway. Im lazy, most mathematicians and engineers are lazy. Thats not a big deal in many industries. You touch on a challenging point but only because you dont propose an alternative. If its between 40 hours of hard work to get to the weekend and living in a literal pile of shit because nobody does anything, the work is better
Lincoln Reyes
No, you actually just pissed me off more because you completely missed the entire point of my thread. This became a political thing when the op was about the fact that we're all stuck in this endless loop. Fuck off and eat your fucking beans for breakfast.
Andrew Howard
>Work life balance is encouraged at most companies No it's not >you shouldnt do a job you dislike Tough shit. That's most humans. Not everyone is as privileged as you.
Jacob Torres
it's midday, but yeah beans sound pretty good
Ryder Cox
Its not? Okay sport. Good luck with that attitude
Lincoln Sullivan
I've worked a lot of sales jobs, everything from penny stocks to insurance, the thing I find funny is you are expected to centre your entire life around work, pretty much unofficial policy yu come in 30 mins early, and leave an hour or so late to make your targets (if you don't they start taking you to task about how committed you are to the job). Like, the money can be good, but so much is expected of you, then you have a bad week and they will fire you (even if it was not your fault e.g. company policy not to sell policies to Asians because they are a bad risk, and I kept getting Mr. Muhammeds and Mrs. Patels).
This is the thing I don't get, they expect your absolute loyalty and flexibility, yet they don't extend the same courtessy to you.
Switch to working for the government, the pay is less, but I feel you are appreciated alot more, friendly working enviroment et cetera.
Hudson Davis
Government does seem like a good way to go, and the difficult thing with work life balance is it's essentially a constantly rising bar. everyone wants to work that little bit harder,and when they're all working harder that becomes the new norm
Leo Thomas
I did a sales job for a bit. I didnt come early, didnt stay late, took breaks, negotiated my salary and everyone was cool with me.
Doing your job doesnt mean copying what the other guys do.
Lucas Torres
I was working for a quango, we got three different free three course meals a day to choose from, I felt my work was valued (massive morale boost, so you put alot more effort in), I upskilled myself and got to train newbies, and then plenty of quirky characters around the office (rather than boring suits).
Sure, there are a lot of utterly incompetent women, but they are friendly so it doesn't matter.
Ian Myers
That was for Working for the government is the perfect job for robots, plus working for HMRC perfect way to get back at Chad.
Logan Hughes
but muh ebil guvment take me freedoms. me watch loli pr0n but guvment say badddd
Kayden Fisher
>Congratulations Chad with that nice new promotion, oh dear, you've just entered into a higher tax bracket, guess you won't be able to afford that holiday after all.
Christian Morales
This. Take personal time and enjoy life. Work should be stimulating
Easton Price
>Tough shit. That's most humans. Not everyone is as privileged as you. >I have it bad so everyone should have it bad And this attitude is exactly why things never improve
Jayden Thompson
Capitalism wasn't meant to last this long. It was supposed to be the transitional stage between feudalism and something better. It's like when a car window breaks and they put tape and plastic over the window. That wasn't supposed to be permanent, just a temporary fix.
The problem is, there are some people out there who really benefit from capitalism. And I'm not talking about the guy in the suburbs with a full time job and two cars, I'm talking about the people who have hundreds of billions of dollars.
If someone is benefiting from that broken window, they're never going to push you to get it fixed. That's where we our now. Our economic system is tape over a broken window.
Benjamin Price
>but you can change things I can't, user. I'm helpless. I'm tired, tired from life, and no amount of rest is helping.
Colton Parker
Suburb life is comfy though. That would never exist in socialism
Benjamin Peterson
That's not what I said at all user you know it. Most people, the majority of working people, don't enjoy their jobs. That's just a fact of life. Not everyone gets to pick and choose what would make them happiest. If I quit my job and start looking for something I enjoy, I'll be out on the street within months. You live in a fantasy world where everything is perfect. You probably still live with your parents or you're being supported by them so you're able to choose a job based on how much you would enjoy it.
Carter Diaz
There are suburbs in Scandinavia. They're not full on socialists but they seem to balance both economic systems, which keeps their people pretty happy. America goes way too hard on the capitalism, which causes a lot of misery for the average person.
Thank you for your effort, I will think about your pathetic struggle when I take out my neetbux, thinking how my life improves by the people like you.
Ian Hill
I hate the fact that my job has so much control over what I can and can't do. What I can and can't put in my body, what my body can and can't look like, and worst of all, my schedule. I try to live life to the fullest but it's hard to do that when you have to be in bed by 10 every night because you need to be at work at 8 the next morning.
Michael Hughes
Moron Everyone wants to work less. Only the soft whine about it
Xavier Fisher
We actually could work less, we have the technology to do so. But so many people are content with working their lives away and never questioning anything that we're stuck here.
Caleb Ross
Imagine working a job you hate. Because I couldn't do it. But shit man I have a career now that I literally wake up every day and look forward to going to work. I can't imagine hating life that much you would do this to yourself.
Most of the jobs are bullshit filler jobs hampering progress too. Not to speak of negative productivity from fatigue, aka causing yourself or others more work instead of reducing the total work load. 40 hour weeks are just there so you stop thinking and stop questioning society, nothing else
Depends my man what is wageslavery? Having a career where you do your hobby is that considered wage slavery? In fact I'm overpaid and my bennies are better than 90% of Americans and I could do without both. I could survive off working a low stress minimum wage job now or wait until I buy some more duplexes to rent out.
Easton Reed
>an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife Did he put those in order of importance?
