Well I didn't get accepted for an interview. What's worse is that every single one of my answers was rated 1 out of a possible 7 in terms of their quality. The answer word limit was something like 350, and I didn't want to bore them so I tried to be concise and wrote about 150 in each case on average. Pretty disappointed to be honest.

Anyone here have any strategies for dealing with workplace bullying? I’m about to quit my job over it.

I’m undertrained and expected to be an expert on everything. My boss constantly forces me to stay back after hours. Unloading of course. And I have peer who’s made it his mission to single me out and humiliate me at every turn.

just show up for work but don't put effort or care what happens just show up and waste time. do not quit just hang out until they fire you. this way you can collect unemployment after while u try to find a different job if thats what u want. if not u still can collect some free money for a bit after being fired.

I'm going through similar, I will try the stand up for yourself and confront them strategy, I'll let you know what comes of it. Unfortunately if I get fired I have little hope of finding another job in my field (engineering) after it took a long time to find one after university. Normalscum at my work picked up on my atrophied social skills, speech impediment, social anxiety, depression, self hatred etc, and are relentless with the passive aggressiveness, mocking. I can't believe I underestimated the vile, malignant, malevolent nature of normalfags. I will ask the main perpetrator why he is a massive cunt, then remind him I am larger and would easily smash his face in during a fight. Being bullied at 24 by normalscum has awoken something buried deep within me, perhaps it was for the best. I have absolutely nothing to lose.

You have several options. One is what >>204246 outlined. Worth it, if you want unemployment.

Or you could just quit. Giving two weeks notice is preferable, but you can just stop showing up.

You could also bring your concerns to a manager. Preferrably a different one from the dickhead one you mentioned in your post. Say you'd like more training, and a coworker is harassing you.

You could also keep this one and look for another job. I would do this if i were in your position.

I think one of my coworkers is conspiring against me. I legitimately don't know if I'm being paranoid or if he's actually doing it and I'm frustrated and confused.

He's worked with my father before and the two disliked each other, now my father is at a different job and I work with the guy instead. He's generally very curt with me and was previously ordered to teach me/a different new hire some stuff about the job a while back, putting him behind on work. In the last few weeks I've noticed an uptick in stuff I've "messed up" that he's emailing me telling me to take care of, but when I actually check it there's no way I caused it and the fix is extraordinarily simple. The last time it happened I even had two other people check it out because I couldn't see what the hell went wrong to cause the issue in the first place, and they couldn't understand either. This incident is what made me begin to think he's doing it on purpose.

Every time this guy emails me he CCs all of our supervisors so now there's a trail of emails directly accessible by our bosses where he looks good for catching stuff and I look like a fucking idiot. I haven't been replying to them because I'm not sure what to say (I'm sure this was a mistake) and just silently fixed them. There's a user log for all changes to the system so if it came down to it the logs could be searched to definitively find each change a specific user made to the system, but it's hard to discern context/intent.

I suspect he's intentionally creating problems or finding unrelated ones and attributing them to me because he dislikes me and/or my father. Am I mentally unraveling and deluding myself or is there a way to actually find out for sure? I have no idea what to do. If I just wait and let the situation advance then I'm letting him walk all over me and giving him time to spin more webs (if he is planning), but if I confront him it would definitely piss off a lot of people which I want to avoid. Quitting/finding another job is not an option.

 No.204379

>>204377
maybe he is conspiring against you. ofc we can only see your perspective here.

if it was me i would try to get some coworkers on my side, complain about him to them while still fixing everything he sends me. that way if push comes to shove i have allies who can back me up who know what i'm experiencing

not necessarily complaining to bosses but if there's anyone there you're friendly with, just mention the situation to them from time to time, they can potentially vouch for you

otherwise, maybe you can complain to a supervisor, preferably with some evidence of problems you're being blamed for that weren't caused by you

either way i wouldn't confront him directly

In a recent meeting, a coworker told a harmless joke about a set of recent administrative fuckups. The joke was essentially "yes we fucked up and yes it's coming out of your salary." Standard work joke.

Another co-worker across the table responded, "you shouldn't say things like that to Anon. One day he'll come in here and shoot us all."

Don't think that's a standard work joke.

I work overnights at a supermarket. The deli department comes in our cooler and takes as much produce as they want, without OKing it with me or scanning it through. They have been doing it since I came over 2 years ago.

Wondering if I should continue my "career" in a sector that's dying for Europeans, and especially ones from my country.
It's contractor work, basically 2-6 months of prison at the time, while the work isn't hard, you spend 24 hours 7 days of the week in the workplace, and usually up to 8 (but with my luck it's been 12) hours daily actually working. It's maritime transport.
I think the conditions are getting worse - mostly because the pays stagnated, so the catering department CAN find better work in hotels. With food and people being shit usually, sleep being interrupted more often than not, you spending every hour in a LOUD place (vents, the engine, other people), offices demanding stuff from you which can and results in accidents (keeping the schedule against bad weather) I've quickly started to wonder if money's worth the effort or should I maybe embrace minimalist lifestyle and try to make the best of it. I'm not gonna be able to afford early retirement, I'm not gonna be able to afford a house in the forest away from everyone, unless I literally spend 8 months away from home every year, get a big loan (not happening), and not have a terrible accident, or even a normal one that will no longer qualify me for a health certificate (losing a finger or two is enough for that, and when the ship is rolling trust me it's easy to accidentally grab a frame of a metal door someone forgot to secure.
Plus there's all this responsibility and chance to fuck things up. It's basically only good work on offshore vessels (which are hard to get into, basically I'd have to spend most of my savings just to get the certifications and then still get jack shit in return if I'm not lucky) or companies that probably prefer employees from a country that's not shitting out graduates with no actual experience in their mid 20's. Cheap labor they get from the east.
I'm thinking of calling it quits, and pursuing a wizjob - nighttime security, warehouse, maybe learn programming/Blender to make freelance a pie in the sky dream. I got into this job for money, but before I could earn this money, I was already too old to really care about things. So now I can finally afford a gaming PC.. whoop de fucking doo if I have a hard time playing a game for 15 minutes. I can afford to play Paintball… great, except the community is dead over here and it's no longer worth it if I have to drive 2 hours to the nearest field. I can afford a second-hand car… wow, but I don't ever drive anywhere anyway so might as well just get an app for those "rent a car" things.
I fucked up.

I do, had a room since I was 14. I don't see a point in moving out if you can't move into a higher standard place. I can't, because that would take hundreds of thousands, a 4m x 4m room I have is hard to top, when you're probably cattle by top 1% standards.

I regret having an office job. I feel constant tension because there is a potential of social interaction all the time, and I'm within the field of view of at least 5 people all the time. My desk is practically in front of the door and I'm the first thing people notice when they come in.

I have very little interaction with my coworkers, as i work overnights. Even that seems like too much.

At least once a week, smeone from another department has a habit of coming in when I'm busy doing work and talking at length about whatever video games he's playing. He goes on for at least a half hour, despite me giving various "fuck off, i'm not interested" vibes.

Anyone else just doesn't like to be in a position of responsibility? I've always avoided it cause I don't care much for doing more then what's expected of me. I got an email from the boss asking me if I wanted to take on some additional tasks at work however I think I'll decline. Reason being is that this will mean a change in hours then from what I'm used to and also the fact that I just don't care for doing more tasks. In my experience taking on more responsibilities at work always equals more stress. Therefore, the less tasks you are responsible for, the easier a job becomes.

I quit my shitty warehouse job a few months ago because i couldn't take it anymore. Now I'm running out of money so I've paid for a security course to improve my chances of getting employed.

But the faggot running the course is making us do acting to replicate real life scenarios with aggressive customers we might experience. I don't wanna do any of that shit but I'd force myself to if it wasn't for the fact we had to act as the customers too.

Wtf do i have to act drunk or angry or like a normalfag for.

Just push through it and get the license. 99% of the time nothing ever happens in these security jobs and I never had any incidents when I worked as one. Also compared to warehousing work, security jobs are top-wiz tier. Some tips - make sure and try to get an easy post like doing night security or working in some place where you're basically there just by yourself. Avoid jobs where you have to be on your feet all day or deal with normgroids like retail security work, since that usually means you'll have to stand the whole time and watch customers for shoplifters.

Also check to see whether you'll be allowed to bring in a laptop or a phone with you to do something when you're on site, some companies are lax when it comes to that. I worked for a really chill security company that basically allowed me to bring in a laptop and do whatever to pass the time, so I took full advantage of that.

Don't romanticize working remote. I moved from an office to working remote as a programmer in the same company.

They still expected me to be available at the exact same hours as everyone else was. People will also talk and look down at you whenever you have to step on the office for never being there.
Lots of communication issues, most people don't know how to write an email, they can't word their problem or needs, they'll use it as a chat and expect an immediate reply. I received constant phone calls for stupid reasons, like checking up if I had read an email sent 2 minutes ago or asking what I was working on that exact moment. They'll have meetings and change your job and requirements however they like without telling you or allowing feedback. This is really problematic when working on software.

The pros were getting ride of things like commute and any kind of chit chat.
I don't recommend remote unless there's a stablished culture of remote work and the rest of the employees also work remote, it just ends up being more stressfull due to incompetences.

You're in a completely different line of work, so a lot of that wouldn't apply to me if I worked from home.

There would be so many advantages to me telecommuting that I would gladly do it for minimum wage:

>Getting to wake up 1-2 hours later

>Starting my evening 1-2 hours earlier
>Wearing more comfortable clothing
>Avoiding nervewracking commutes
>Not having to cross busy streets
>Having way more privacy at home
>No office politics and social hierarchies

As for these:

>They still expected me to be available at the exact same hours as everyone else was.

That's expected.

>People will also talk and look down at you whenever you have to step on the office for never being there.

So people showing disdain towards me on rare occasions vs. people showing disdain towards me 5-6 days a week. I'll take it!

>Lots of communication issues

I communicate a lot better electronically than verbally. Telecommuting would allow me to do more of the former and less of the latter.

>I received constant phone calls for stupid reasons

Wouldn't receive any of these.

>They'll have meetings

I wouldn't have these if I worked from home. Or I'd only have virtual meetings. Another advantage to working from home.

>and change your job and requirements however they like

No different than working a normal office job in my experience

I realize that your situation is a little different, but for me, working remotely would provide so many advantages that I would take a substantial pay cut to do it.

>tfw start wageslaving in 2 weeks

I don't want to. Obviously. It's shitty manual labor in a goddamn warehouse for minimum wage. But if I don't I'll be homeless soon.

this sucks. I'm miserable enough NEETing, but now I need to spend 40 hours/week (closer to 50 if you include commute, preparation etc) away from everything that can make me happy. I feel like I'm on death row. I've slaved before but this is going to be a long-term position. 5 days a week every week until I get "promoted" (just to be a slightly different slave, shit doesn't matter) and/or kill myself.

seriously feel like I'm gonna cry. It's all over. I'm gonna need to spend at least 1/2 my earnings on drugs just to make it tolerable to go to work.

Yes, it has. Rather, my current job is. At my current job, i work all nights, Monday through Friday nights. I have set hours, too.

I found it harder at my last job, primarily because they would schedule me basically at random.. 10am-6pm one day, 4pm-midnight the next, 8Am- 4pm, one day off, 6-10. That kind of schedule was bad, as I couldn't rest. I'd often get called in on my days off, or have a shift change on w moments notice.

Anyway, I'm meandering about my personal anecdote. It may be worthwhile checking to see if there are any jobs with set schedules. Doesn't have to be literally 9-5, could be all nights or evenings. The focus could improve your schedule. It did mine

Are you opposed to all work or just wageslavery, when your work is controlled by others. Would you still hate it if you controlled your own labor in cooperation and free association with other workers as equals, like in a socialist society? Why do wizards here hate socialism when it's purpose is to eliminate the alienation and human energy wasted under a capitalist system, with a shorter working day, meeting your material needs and spiritual needs, and letting your manage your own labor.

The more I learn about the nature of wageslavery and oppression under capitalism the more radical I become to change it, but somehow fellow wizards all seem to be reactionary and accept the status quo as unchangeable.

Is this a side effect of hopelessness from depression? Or perhaps it's bigotry urged by the full force of the elites propaganda machine manufacturing consent to stop people from learning about alternative ways of life so they remain in power?

Also instead of complaining on here you should realize as individuals you are powerless, but in unions you have power and can make demands to better your conditions. It's a waste of time posting in this thread, nothing will come from it.

Night shift produce wiz here. It looks like the managers finally caught on to my "take a 20+ minute washroom break near the end of my shift" routine. I got called out on it this morning, despite taking said "break" for months.

I don't think I'm in major trouble, as the manager told me to knock it off or go home early if my work's done. I neither want to lose the hours nor this job, as it is easy as fuck, I need the money and I'm too lazy to look for another job. Guess I'll have to put in extra effort for a bit.

Everything is political. The authoritarian social relationships we experience at wageslavery is due to the involvement of the propertarians in the political system to enforce their warped idea of 'justice' that they should have a right to own property, and so the right to oppress people. By refusing to engage with the system that is controlling you and by being apolitical, you're signing your consent with the status quo and defending the system that controls you and the actions it participates in.

The wealthy know this and they want you to stay in your bubble, refusing to bother to learn and expand your understanding of the system. However, political change doesn't happen without mass mobilization of people and resources, to make concrete demands. Disengagement and apathy are not your friend if you don't want to be a wageslave, it's only a friend of the elites that encourage this attitude.

Also, it's interesting that in every other thread we can point out the conditions that are causing us deppression, but when it comes to wageslavery pointing this out is taboo. In other threads, their specific reasons for deppression can be temporarily solved by individual acts like excercise, suicide, leaving the area, ect, but when it comes to a remedy that requires meeting other individuals for a common goal, even just pointing out the reasons is opposed.

Everything is political, true: everyone wants to be on top, everyone wants his interests fulfilled and his needs and wishes satisfied, all want their position to be the new moral high ground and their ideology the one that dominates society; selfish desires, material or abstract, like influence or self-affirmation, is what drives both the left and the right, which makes them both equally disgusting.
Socialism is not a cure-all like its proponents imagine it to be, it has its flaws which I'm not willing to discuss so as not to derail the thread further and because it has already been done to death by all of its adversaries.
The faultiest part, in any case, always seems to be humanity. Any ideology that makes humans or "the cause of humanity" its cornerstone misses the point entirely. Humans are animals and should be treated as such: our stomachs are bottomless and our intelligence is limited, our audacity is out of bounds and our achievements are miniscule.
The only logical solution is to instate a system that'll oppress everyone and serve nobody's interests, provide no guarantees unless you earned them or are working to earn them, which will put an abstract idea of civilization, nation or progress and its preservation above humankind itself and stay that way until we've learned to remove all that's animal about ourselves, something that is probably never going to happen, sadly.

There is no set human nature, how people act is only influenced by the institutions in their society. You can see this by how people behave in non-capitalist societies, like the kibbutz in israel, rojava, and evidence from anthropologists of other non-hierarchical societies. In a capitalist society the institutions encourage greed at the expense of labor, priding itself on commodities. A socialist society has different institutions to encourage different human behaviors and mitigate the negative ones we see under capitalism, in particular I advocate for the basic ones described in libertarian socialist theory, based on free association, free federation, and mutual aid. Selfishness itself is not a crime, but it only becomes so when you satisfy your selfishness at the expense of others, and only the institutions under capitalism allow you to do that. Under socialist economy you would cooperate with others in your own self interest to satisfy a need not met with your current productive capacities, and a desire to be free. No serious socialist has ever said that humans are perfect beings and that we will create a utopian society, but we provide realistic alternatives to realistic problems. No society has ever been perfect and none ever will be. But a socialist one will have less issues than a capitalist one and be better to live in. A free society is based on free human beings and so with their own problems and difficulties. If you're looking for a utopian perfect society talk to the 'free market' capitalists'. If you're looking for a realistic society, human and so imperfect, then you will find it in libertarian socialism.

It's all capitalist now, and you're probably young and only grew up in the time when it was under capitalist reforms or full capitalism which is when quality of life started going down hill, but the older generations under the five year plans is when they had constant economic progress, which you weren't alive then to see. This guy goes around the soviet union and interviews a lot of the older folk and I haven't seen any that disagree with my statement. Video is related and in many other videos.

But again, I'm not advocating for that type of socialism. There are many schools of socialism, the ussr's version was one school (marxist leninism) and I don't follow that school.

I'll disagree and say that capitalism only good if you're rich and wealthy.

You're derailing the thread but I'm going to respond anyway.

Wageslavery is the need to work and you need to work in socialist systems even more than you do in capitalist. In capitalism, you at least have the chance of living on interest, whereas in socialism you'd be gutted for being a parasite if you did that. The idea of "fulfilling" work has always been mostly a delusion, if not in the past certainly in a technological society. One of the reasons work sucks so much for wizards is the social nature of it, which is exacerbated by technology and the servicification of the economy, and I don't want to deal with coworkers when I'm working let alone "organize" something with them and basically turn my life into a function of whatever retarded thing I work on.

I worked on several underequipped ships. It's very easy when you've got
a) offices in another country full of people that haven't worked on a ship approving orders
b) a captain who doesn't want to anger the company by constant orders of high-end shit
Basically shit like safety stickers, paint rollers, boiler suits that weren't synthetic crap were always short - and if you had an inspection at port, they'd crush your balls about it. You would have to prove that you made an order, but then it would turn out captain denied it, so now you've framed the captain who's worked for this company for 40 years and knows everyone while you're from a shitty country that hasn't heard of unions and only thing ITF does are dart tournaments.

I broke a somewhat expensive item used by my dept today at work. It really was an accident though since apparently the item was being held up on this flimsy cart that was missing a wheel. I must have not noticed it initially, since when I rolled this cart with the item on top of it, the cart tipped over causing the item to fall to the floor and get damaged. I put the whole thing back in our storage and am debating what to do.
I could feign ignorance and since there's several people working in our dept. including many temporary workers, it's not likely that I'll be found out as the culprit. Most likely the management will chalk this up to some temp worker and never find out. Or I could fess up and just admit the item got damaged during my handling of it (which is technically true).

Okay its not really a job, more like a freelance thing you can do on your own free time. How much you earn is really dependent on how much time you want to put in. Here are the basic steps:
1. Own a smartphone
2. Download an english-teaching app from Google Play or the Apple Store (the one I used was called Palfish but there's different ones out there you can look into)
3. Register on the app and create a biography of yourself. You might have to take a photo of yourself and submit a short voice speaking example to the moderators so they can hear how you sound like. I don't know the percentage of people who get accepted but it definitely helps to have an American/British accent. You don't need to be an actual teacher or anything, but the #1 most important thing it seems to me is to basically portray yourself as a native English speaker. I actually pretended that I was an educator despite having no formal teaching experience, and just wrote that in my bio.
4. Once your submission is approved you can basically start accepting calls from people on your smartphone. due to the time-zone difference, it obviously means you might have to be up late night or early morning to have the most availability of calls. Usually someone will call you and then you can decide whether to accept the call or not. Warning: you're usually expected to accept the call if you've specified that you're available during those hours, if you don't, you risk getting a low rating from the caller.
5. It's actually quite time-intensive and for the majority of the time, you'll be the one doing the talking and it can kind of wear you out especially if doing multiple calls in a day. So if you don't like talking a lot, this kind of work probably isn't for you. The actual conversation can range from basically speaking about whatever subjects or English lessons. So it can be more of a structured type of call where you're doing a lesson or more of a free flowing conversation with the person. Obviously a lot of the times, you'll be the one doing the talking since the caller doesn't know english that well.
6. And for the pay, it's probably averages to somewhat about a few $/hour I'd guess? It really depends on how much time you're willing to put in, the more calls you have and the longer you keep the person on the line, the more money you can make. But it does wear you out, after a month I just stopped doing it completely because I was tired of always being up early and late at night having conversations. Also I found a better job by then so I didn't need the money.

Thank you for the information I'm really interested in this because I don't have any experience and it'll be nice to have at least one thing on my CV now that I'm trying to break into the slave life. Just a couple of questions though, how do the calls start, like what do you say at the beginning? Can you be a little more specific about how the conversations go, could I mock up a template or flow chart to loosely stick to?

 No.206971

>>206954
There's no script or template that I used, usually when someone called me I would answer the phone and introduce myself. Then I would ask the caller to tell me a little about themselves, whether they were a student at university, how long they studied english for, what were their hobbies, etc, etc. It was really more about getting the person to practice their english skills in a casual-type conversation, although other teachers on there had things like lesson plans, etc. But I personally never bothered with that and just stuck to casual conversations. And students usually could call you back again, so it could be a repeat business with just a few select students if you wished. Students could also rate you and leave feedback after each call, so the better they think you did, the higher ratings you had.

Oh and you could also actually set your own hourly rate for the amount of money you charged a student, although the lower your rate was the more calls you'd get obviously. This might vary from app to app though. Also there was no face-to-face interaction required, both parties only just interact with each other through voice so that's good if you don't want to show yourself.

If you're on foot: Exercise, exercise, exercise. Put some money in to custom fitted shoes (your employer should pay for all or half). If you're not used to walking many miles without a break every day, you'll have a hard time keeping up. Even if your route isn't all that long, the accumulated distance of the driveways and walkways of each house could triplify the steps needed. look at >>207011 . he's already tired after only walking on one property.

I should be fairly content with my night shift job, I get to bring a laptop I bought with one of my salaries and just watch movies and TV shows, maybe play the occasional old vodeo game, while saving up very little and helping the family with bills. The thing is, I could get used to this life, but the problem is that I am a very impressionable guy, and everyone around me keeps saying that "I can't keep doing this kind of job", "I have to up the ranks and find a better paying job" and this fills me with dread and an awful sense of urgency that pretty much ruined the comfy atmosphere that I created for myself in the few hours of my shift. The worst part? They're right. I'm gonna be fucked big time once my family dies, I have absolutely no chance to live on my own with my meager salary and with the crippling job crisis in my country, coupled with my unwillingness to learn a trade or even go to the university, I realized that at 25 I am probably looking at a decade of this AT BEST, before I eventually remain alone and off myself somewhere.

That's the thing with me but I can't do any better unless some miracle of a chance happens. Only difference with me is I can save a decent chunk and I'm almost a couple years older. I take all the hours I can short term too because there's always the chance that a manager could have a bad week and fire me over some stupid sign up goal or similar. I know I'm not really liked and only kept around cause I'm so useful for random shit around the workplace.

I could also see around a decade left for me to keep doing what I can here and so much can change in just a year. It's scary sometimes cause whats left of my immediate family is shrinking little by little every year from the edges in. I try to keep myself as healthy as I can because never mind my parents. I barely have the drive to keep going from week to week, if one thing health wise gets me down and I fall too far behind then I'll be crippled for good. Once I hit the sick and broke rock bottom, I'm probably going to be too old for it to be anything but futile to climb back up. Maybe I can cope better by pretending my life here is a combination of a joke and a survival horror game.

>>207341 If it's some low level skill garbage I would do that too as long as I get at least 160 to 200 a week out of it and it would stable for years to come with a boss that doesn't give a fuck as long as I do it.

I have a cushion but places to live are expensive here. With my minimum wage yearly income if I'm lucky with the single cheapest possible option around here it may all be able to pay for the rent itself but nothing more, not even utilities. Pretty sure this is one of the most expensive states in the US actually. I'll take anything really as long as the place has working electricity and plumbing with no major mold problems or anything of the sort. I bet if I lived in a place with much cheaper options with the cushion I'm saving right now I'd be able to live quite well until I kick the bucket. I mean any medical problem that arises might be the end cause of how expensive it is but my that time I would probably be too old and normally sickly anyways so I'm not too worried about that.

Because it's almost impossible to pull off nowadays. It worked in the 50s when companies did not expect their workforce to rebel, but now companies have all of their supervisors trained on how to identify unionizing and workers are told that they will be terminated if they unionize (they use different wording of course, like "your behavior does not align with the company's values"). Here's Amazon's union busting training video:

I've been working on a 'zerohour' contract for some months now, where I have to fill in the hours I work and am free to put in however many I like. but for some time now I'm not paid what I should be, I get paid 5 days or so a month, I thought at first it was an error since I just started or there was a vacation period and it'd come back but I'm going into the 4th month now and I cant live on the salary of 5 workdays a month. I put in roughly 13~15 days a month.

the problem is I'm too much of a mess to speakup somewhere and complain about it, I just check into work and try not to be bothered by anyone. anyone had similar experience? should I just casually try to bring it up with my manager or try though an email?

Yes. As someone who's had plenty of roommates before I can confirm it can either be a great way to save money or one of the worst experiences you may have. It all depends on the type and quality of roommates you'll be living with. If it's mature, responsible adults who pay their share of bills on time, are quiet and clean up after themselves then consider yourself to have won the roommate lottery. If it's a bunch of irresponsible normies who party, booze & drug it up the entire time you're living there, well lets just say you probably won't really enjoy it very much. So good luck.

I think to even be considered in retail/grocery stores or not recommended but fast food too. That you were part time for a while in some places.

I classify break time in three periods. Early, normal and late.
During the early period, there's few people, usually 0 and when there's some they eat quickly and leave without talking. So there aren't any conversations or obnoxious people.
Normal period has the most people, the place is full and there's lots of talking. It's not pleasant but the amount of people makes it possible to pass the time without anyone talking directly to me. Half of the time they'll talk about work, and the other half about private life.
Late period is the worst, this is when my boss and other heavy talkatives concentrate. There's usually no more than 3 but they are louder than the normal. They will always start talking about work and then move onto their private life, trying to include everyone in the conversation.

There's no time to mentally rest during normal or late periods, I like to take my break early by myself. But a new obnoxios person joined recently and took my early spot. A talkative person followed up joining him between the early and normal period. This created a continuous obnoxious 'break' time thats draining me even more than before.
