any freeter?

i would like to hear some bad boss interactions and stories

>>310123
typing this from my overnight security job sitting in a comfy herman miller office chair. the hardest part of my job is waking up and getting here. don't have to interact with anyone or do anything but sit on my ass.

i won't work any harder than this. if i have to, ill move into a van. this is all society is going to get out of me

With the upcoming economic disaster I am turning a lot of my cash into gold. My country is likely to collapse. Least I could do is turn the fruits of my wageslaving to turn a new leaf somewhere else. Any tips on how to carry gold through the airport undetected. Fuck customs and tax

>>310141
unironically buy gold jewelry

I don't even get the "luxury" of having a steady job for more than a year. I get to sit, stuck at home with little hope. But then again, there really isn't much hope with a job either. Either route just seems like existential torture to me. Last time I looked for a job, it took me 18 months to find something. Now, I am in the same situation again after a year. I hate that I have to feel like I am begging Goldberg just to have the opportunity—no the privilege, to throw away all the hours of my day, every day, just to live a life of staying barely above water. I hate this shit so much, I wish I could just go live in the prehistoric era and live a short, but free, life and just get eaten by wolves or something. That fate is 100x better than wage slaving your entire existence away. I hate that they psyop me into feeling like I need some meaningless job that contributes nothing to keeping the world spinning. I hate the angst I feel because I can't "build a life." Build a life? More like build my tomb. Why would I contribute to a system that I hate, that I wish death for? A system that makes me feel like a caged animal, where the only place I can find solace is entertainment and animal pleasure? Because I live in it? I would rather just do the opposite of contribute at this point.

>>310153
I don't have the option to NEET, and id rather not be homeless. My job is low-stress enough that its tolerable. If I'm ever in a position where the choices are a job where I have to be on my feet for 8 hours a day and interact with people, or be homeless, then I would buy a van and live in it, but for now, I get paid to sit on my ass.

I would snap psychologically if i was deprived of the privacy and ability to shut away the world that having an apartment to myself provides, so that's an incentive enough for me to keep going. I also recognize that no matter what job I have, there will always be the first layer of mild existential torture that comes with having to go be somewhere you don't want to be and doing things youd rather not be doing that comes with work. Being a janitor is the same time sink as being some white collar corporate professional.

I do tip my hat to people who can get NEETbux, or have some situation that is comfy and avoids work, but I don't have that deck of cards

>dont want to waste 9.5 hours of my day at work
>dont want to be at home with nothing fulfilling to do
shit sux man

what do you guys eat during your break?

Been wageslaving for 10 years now. First I was doing some drawings, talking with the authorities and data input.
Then I changed departments and found a niche in IT stuff nobody bothered to understand. It was pretty comfy for a few years.
Then they made me manager for said department, 20 or so morons under me. Biggest of all is me because I accepted this corpo trash.
I wanted to quit but nobody gave a shit. Talked with the superiors, but they were busy changing their positions.
I don't really want to lose my job, but I don't want this constant stress either.

>>310166
For lunch I just eat bread with olives and pesto sauce. The rest of the day I drink water and coffee and snack on figs and dates.

I eat the same gabagool sandwich everyday, and i take a walk while eating because i can"t stand being with co workers talking about bullshit. I work in a sector that deals with a lot of NEETS. This year has been terrible for them. Brutal.Lots of them homeless.It's only gonna get worse, there's no sympathy for the unemployed. Some eldery neets made it though, they achieved pension age and laughed at the system. The last ones to make it. For us, those left behind , there's only misery until death.

>>310167
> eat bread with olives and pesto sauce
interesting, I've never had bread with pesto sauce but must be delicious
also that's an interesting choice for lunch
is that what you usually have? Nothing else?
>>310169
lol no way just a gabagool sandwich? is that to save time, still I think you should add some variety
I mean food is supposed to bring you some joy when I used to work I looked forward to lunch because it was a way to deal with the stress by indulging in it even if it was just for a short time. Im sure it can trigger the release of endorphines.

>>310169
>i take a walk while eating
I never understood why people leave or eat in their cars until now. We have a new guy that is socially starved and will put down his steamdeck and just talk for 20 minutes straight if any of us walk into the breakroom. I just want to stuff a sad sandwich in my face so I can get back to work, not discuss all of the posts on reddit front page with him. I've been taking breaks in the warehouse now and eat my sandwich at my desk.

>>310179
Yeah I just buy a small jar of pesto and some baked bread from the supermarket, slice it there, and eat it on my way back. Just dip and eat. Sometimes I buy canned pate and chug it all down with a bottle of kefir or get some cold cuts with canned pineapple.

I'm pooched from a day of laboring that followed an all-nighter. I have more tar roofing to do tomorrow morning. I need to go buy Redbull and choco before my bank takes all of my money for various fees, but I am just too sleepy.

>>310123
I don't eat at work. I think it's because I'm in a constant state of fight or flight. I don't do anything at work, aside from print orders for the warehouse crew to pick and wrap. Aside from that I just sit in front of the computer and pretend to be busy. It is extremely nerve racking because the boss thinks I'm working, but I haven't for the past 4 years. He doesn't know because he works remote.
There is an old guy, a manager, who is in the office with me. For this reason I can't really just browse the internet all day. I have to pretend to be busy which I do by playing around in excel, creating lists, reports etc, which no one reads, and that's how I amuse myself. But I think my boss is catching on. I don't know how long this can last.
I used to work more in the warehouse back when there weren't many coworkers, and I was made floor manager, but we moved to this new one, and there are a lot of kids working there who made my life hell so I gradually stopped helping out in the warehouse. That's how I got to this point.
I don't know why my boss gave me a computer, when I have no work to do on it. I feel bad for ripping my boss off because early on when the place was more local he would pay for my fare to get into work, or give me lifts into work. He also helped pay for my driving lessons so I could get to this new place which is in a remote location.
Many times I have considered asking for more to do, but I don't want to go back to the hell of working on the warehouse floor with these horrible kids. And to do so would bascically be to admit I don't do anything. They think I am doing administration things, but in reality that is all handled by females in a remote office.
Soon I will be taking a one week vacation. I haven't used any vacations so far in the past 3 years because I'm worried they'll realize nothing changes when I'm not there. When I asked my boss about the vacation he freaked out and started panicking because he thinks everything will go to pot if I'm not in. He asked me to start showing another employee all of my processes. I merely showed them how to print a PDF, and then I dismissed them.
Let me reiterate that at one point I was a good worker, but we moved to a new location and all the people were shitty so I became a recluse who doesn't do anything. My hope was that I would be given more data administration related tasks, but my boss either just does everything himself or hires females to do it.

>>310191
you seem to eat very healthy.

>>310203
jobs are mostly a bullshit theatrical act these days, and they have been since around the leisure scare. nobody needs workers anymore, most tasks are all automated, society just keeps up the theatrical act of employment because it refuses to accept the insignificance of human life, and these days human effort is so insignificant it’s not even needed to make things anymore. microsoft employees spend around 40% of their time in worthless meetings, add up bathroom breaks and overall laziness and you’ll begin to understand jobs don’t make sense anymore. it’s like that everywhere, employees all around the world are ripping off their bosses, and these stupid boomers sometimes even tend to let it happen because they can’t fathom the idea of leaving behind the world they grew up in. jobs went from being a necessary division of labour to being the most inefficient way of creating goods and services.

>>310205
Maybe. I just keep it simple, 2 or 3 things at once, more is just pig food… implying it's not what supermarkets sell us.

>>310219
don't you get bored of eating the same thing everyday

>>310166
During break? Slimjims and protein bars
Lunch is usually frozen meals or noodles

>>310167
I had to step down from being a supervisor because i couldn't stand having to constantly be vigilant for other people's fuck ups; anticipating them and heading them off before they happened. Between that and dealing with my extremely insufferable boss, who punished me with more work when i did what he asked, i just had to step down.
>>310166

*proceeds to eat chebureki*

Being forced into becoming a duty manager. My roles will be dealing with bad customers, and we get so many. only 2/8 of our current security guards are useful. What's a 5'1 indian gir, or a 5'5 70 year old man going to do when there's a crazy cunt freaking out at 10pm on my staff. I have to handle that, be in their face etc. Not liking it. I'm good with a few other duty managers, and even they say it's a rough job. By the way these are amazing men, physically imposing, intelligent, charming. I'm none of those things. I'm just some typical loser nerd. I'm supposed to handle these things?? And for what? literally only 1 dollar extra an hour on my base pay, AND 5 dollars extra an hour ONLY on the shifts I do that job, so essentially only getting like 150 dollars before tax a week on standard weeks for the insane pressure it gives me. That money will barely cover the weed/beers I'll need to deccompress. Also basically forced into this roll or I face being fired/forced to quit as they will torture me with checkout duty which I would hate infintely more. I just hate it all. I have to socialize with everyone too which sucks. the checkout succubi are so rude, and I have to pretend we are cool LOL. Fuck man I hate this

>>310352
Sorry to double post. I also have a very loyal character. I don't care about normies or succubi, at work if you are good you are good. I would care too much about it. I've already warlocked a few people for abusing my staff. I tell them to talk to me like you talk to that 16 year old succubus. With the assitance of one of those good guards of course lol. But still, I hate them.

>>310352
i stepped down from being a supervisor because i was tired of babysitting retards for an extra $100 dollars a week after taxes. now i just do "nothing" overnight as i write this very merry post on the clock :)

>current job pays 27 hourly
>non profit org so i can maybe, maybe expect a raise of 1 dollar and 50 cents like last year
>been here for 2 years
>have a pension (haven't looked into it yet though)
>no leverage; i just manage our braindead easy in house database system (i got a cs degree for this)
>want a new job but my skills have degraded
>want a new job but tech jobs i feel like i wouldn't crash at pay fucking less than my glorified spreadsheet email job (23 bucks) and i absolutely can't eat a salary decrease
what the fuck do i even do
i feel so goddamn trapped and all i want is out. i'm scared of turning 30 in this job

>>310451
full time with benefits, a pension, and 27 an hour is good

>>310451
Bruh it sound good to me actually but maybe not a happy or fun job to you.
How much free time you get at that place? You can have more benefits? You can learn things or have time to read books or hobbies?
>Also
I know a retard without university study with a high pay job in a industry working with control of robotics hands, the job had a lot of benefits and the retard just quited the job after a lot of years with lots of benefits bacause a stupid succubi whispered to him ear and in a way got tired of job bureacracy to ask for some useful things like new rooms etc but thats bacause the new boss, son of the old kind all lovable boss that died, its a bitch crab with kike behaviour.
Now he's poor and do temporal jobs with no future or benefits. At his job they liked him and even pushed to help him to not quit or have more time to manage problems or anxiety, a damn stupid retard.

The YouTube Ads flat out admitted that either they or their 3rd parties were responsible for why my paychecks haven't been arriving for the sake of convoluted profiteering towards either their banks they were attempting to force me into joining or whatever product they were trying to shill…

My work here is done :)…

I somehow managed to save my budget after a moderately sized emergency spending last month OH WAIT

Oh G-d. Another emergency spending is coming my way. Guess I shouldn't have been despairposting this weekend.

>>310603
Why did you censor 'God'?

Recently hit 10 years at my job. HR decided to take a photo of me and post it on social media. I work retail. 50% of the comments are making fun of me. Why do they have to do this?

>>310128
I'm not a great story teller but a previous boss of mine was a psycho midget demon succubus.

She would constantly bark orders at me "GET THE BOX NOW!!!!!" as I work into the room with the boxes, there are 10 boxes that belong to our department. I bring it out. "NOT THAT ONE WHAT THE FUCK!?" So I ask which one she wants. "JUST THE FUCKING BOX!" Ok, but which one does she need? There is no obvious common sense answer either, as nothing is currently a priority in regards to the polcies we follow or the situation at hand. She eventually just does it herself and grabs one of the boxes I originally asked if it was this one or not?

Also when we filled the shelf during nightfill she would blast off on an unhinged rant at me for filling the chocolate ice cream first instead of the vanilla ice-cream, but this is totally inconsequential… It takes like 45~80 seconds to fully fill each flavor, and the store doesn't even open until another 6 hours. Why does it matter? She would scream at me call me names and report me. Everyone hated her, they hated her to the point they'd rather side with me the weirdo type than her. That should say a lot as they were typical normies. That boss was so fucking insane, and the funniest part of it all was I learned from the store manager that she had supported me on several occasions where they wanted to cancel my time off work, and she just covered my shifts so she essentially did 100+ hour weeks just to ensure I wasn't interrupted. That's why I'm so confected about this boss. Perhaps she's a good person that just has very severe mental issues? I don't know.

>>310166
I always get a savoury pie. Steak n cheese. Chicken and sweet potato, whatever we sell. There's a ton of options granted they aren't sold old. Paired with an energy drink. It honestly is my biggest cope

>>310618
that sound like shit, working retail sucked. Worked at wallyworld for 12 years; was cashier, carts if they needed it, customer service desk returning shoplifted items and money order crap, then electronics/photo lab to basically running the entire back of the store when covid hit. That's when I finally said fuck it and quit. Now I've been working in a call center for 5 years doing inbound/outbound calls for idiots who buy equipment and are too fucking stupid to use it properly and then get pissy at me for calling them. Doing tech support for boomers over the phone is the biggest pain in the ass. Coworkers barely last 6 months and the ones that have stuck around are the most fake-ass snakes. Office politics and gossip is a whole new battleground.

I got a free week and I'm not enjoying it in the slightest. I just feel overwhelming emptiness. I tried to play some games, read some book but then, what? I somewhat feel nostalgic and pity myself about my small habits: those book reviews, those effort posts, those pretentious anime analysis that I wrote in the loneliness of my room and that will dissapear into nothingness…
Yet I know that next monday I will dread waking up early again.
Life is a cosmic joke

>>310643
>17 years of walmart and call-center work experience.
you must be crazy. those are two jobs i absolutely could not tolerate doing and for multiple years each. longest ive been at any job is 2 years and im 35. Im close to starting my 3rd year at this job

>>310645
is picrel pesoa? I read the book of disquiet and it was an incredibly comfy kind of depression. he has another book too that i want to read

do you have a dead end job or a good job?

>>310647
I don't think I've ever had any job for more than 2 years. I've had about 20 jobs in my life. Currently, its wallyworld. its not so bad, or at least wouldn't be if i could just keep my head down and work, but since i'm a straight white guy, I get targeted and I'm on red strike 3 for absolute bullshit they made up now that can't be proven either way but it's the team lead's word vs mine.

>1st: not understanding the commands given when they made an ONLY-SPANISH-SPEAKING succubus my manager, instead of me who was runner up. I used to get praise at that store, but ever since her, no more.
Transferred to a new store.
>2nd: first got talked to for using too few bags, then written for using too many bags
>3rd: put ONE thing from the topstock in a neighboring "home" when I'm the only one actually doing the topstock instead of just leaving everything there like the nonwhites do, without getting in trouble. You shoulda seen that shelf I made it look beautiful and spacious, and it will remain that way long after I'm gone… and I GOT CANCELED FOR IT!

>>310645
Also have a week off and feel the same way. I might go to the doctor next week because i just cannot. I can't do it. Where are the nukes?

>>310648
check out no longer human, some good quotes in there

>>310648
Yes he is. I would recommend Alberto Caiero poems from Pessoa too

>>310645
>>310672
Yeah what’s even the point when you can’t enjoy free time anymore? I feel similar even weekends don’t do it anymore.

>>310619

In my experience, succubi make the worst managers.

Recently quit a sales job because the manager and back office person, both foids in their 40s, were extremely bitchy and would routinely shout at the sales team (all men) in front of clients.

>>310645
It's hard to play games, or rather invoke new copes that don't already exist in your current roster.

>>310123
Can someone redpill me on "networking"? What is it really?
I know some people who work jobs. OK. How is that going to land me a job?

>>310834
>what is it
getting someone to like you so they'll give you a job

>>310752
Yep succubi are usually the worst. It's rare to find those old granny types who treat everyone like their grandson lol. I had one like that but wasn't for long..

>>310188
I have a 50+ year old succubus at my job who will talk to every single one of us about her daily updates of herself and every single family member she has. She also snort laughs and makes rude comments behind peoples back.

Another guy who constantly talks to all of us invading personal space and smells like shit. He goes on stupid meaningless rambles about things and you can only undertsand 20% of what he says. If he notices you slowly losing focus he will constantly repeat your name to snap you back into it.

Work has a rule about not leaving the staff room during break as there's been teenagers who couldn't manage to return to work in 30~45 mins. It's a fucking circus

>>310950
>Work has a rule about not leaving the staff room during break as there's been teenagers who couldn't manage to return to work in 30~45 mins

thats retarded and tyrannical, kind of like how my boss bought small, clear plastic lockers where we're expected to store our phones for the duration of the shift. i bought a fake dummy phone a few days later.

I also have a coworker that used to think he could just come up and talk to me for 30 minutes. i tolerated it, but one day i had to swap positions with a guy on crutches. when the old guy saw that despite me having freedom of movement, that i didn't come to talk to him, he stopped talking to me. he realized i have zero interest. glad he took the hint, because i had been preparing a speech about how to politely tell him he needs to fuck off.

>>310954
Lol my store recently announced a total cell phone ban, yet when I obey and check it after work I have like 20 missed calls from various managers. I then become exempt, and the other workers hate me for it. All because the stupid teenagers can't stop texting or using their phones during their work. Even checkout operators are scrolling their phones whilst serving customers. Total zombies.

Clear lockers are insanity, possibly illegal? Either way they like pushing the boundary. Our staff bathrooms once had digital keypad entry into the toilets and we have to clock out for our poop breaks, capped at 5 minutes a time and I believe it was 20 minutes a week. Luckily we have some equally crazy and loud union people who manage to somewhat keep a lid on it all.

How were you planning to tell the guy to shut up? I really need help on that

you sound as bad as the people wroking with you

>>310618

Can I have the link? I want to do it too.

>>310618
normalfags can't really empathize with people that are different. they don't understand that some people do not see attention or their fake attempts at acknowledgment and validation as rewarding. "people like taking their photos and being praised" it's as simple as that, but they can't really put themselves in your shoes. oh, this guy is very unattractive and withdrawn, i don't think he would appreciate me sharing his image to the entire world and announcing that he has worked 10 years in a dead-end job.

but it also sucks when they do treat you differently out of pity. i remember this one Linus Tech Tips episode where the crew read mean comments about themselves and the fat ugly guy had to only read nice comments about himself. it was very tongue in cheek, how the normalfag gets to virtue signal while still showing you off to others as entertainment and essentially validating to everyone that the mean comments about him are true so they can't actually be used, while their own mean comments were just "trolls being trolls".

>>310618
That's the problem with being a lifer
