This week I got told I'm being sacked. They said I can work until the end of the month. In fact it's the very day that I was hired a year ago. Not surprising since all these large companies that have been running off of debt for years have been doing massive layoffs.

The job is doing programming and devops stuff for a fortune 500 globohomo company. The pay is meh for the industry because it's entry level but still I've been making more than anyone in my family. Not that it was easy I had to go through 4 years of uni and 2 years of being a help desk slave before I could get a job like this, only for the tech industry to finally get its long-deserved correction.

But I could see it coming from a mile away so last year I started looking into a career change. But being me I procrastinated and never went through with anything. Well now I'll be forced to get off my ass and act, so it's probably for the best. Just hope I can get unemploymentbux for a while.

This is why I warned you guys not to bother trying to get into the software/IT industry. It was comfy while it lasted but the window has already closed.

 No.272605

I'm not sure why this anecdote is a reason not to get into IT. You make more than your family, you have an indemand skill, and you are being laid off, it's sad but imagine if the first two had never been true, you could still be facing layoff. And the difficulties finding a new IT job seem to go away after a few years experience.

People were saying the same thing during the dot com crash, there were lots of Gen X forklift drivers smugly going on about how Indians will soon be doing all that IT work for cheap.

Within three years they all ended up with a massive egg on their face as the industry totally rebounded.

You're working in an industry that doubles in size every ten years and that normies don't have the temperance for. You'll be fine.

>You're working in an industry that doubles in size every ten years and that normies don't have the temperance for. You'll be fine.
And up until now that growth has been fueled by almost free money being handed out to all these tech companies which has resulted in them growing far more than their profits would otherwise justify. Surely the industry will not die but from what I've seen it's been due for a huge correction and I don't see how it will rebound from it.

After the dot com bubble there was still a lot of ways in which the IT industry genuinely contributed to productivity, whereas now it seems everything is about polishing tech from the last 2 decades. There's still hype about AI and IoT but IMO it's way overhyped and even if it does take off it'll be concentrated in a small pool of specialists that'll require a PhD to get into. Not to mention there are WAY more experienced people in IT and even more who are always trying to bust into entry-level. I just don't see it being nearly as worthwhile as it once was.

I CAN (I know I shouldnt)work 120 hours a week+sleep 2 hours a day. For how many months\years,should I do that?

I'm doing a comp sci degree currently but I dont really care if the tech sector gets way worse or whatever.

I also did it originally because I had an interest in it on top of having the best career prospects at the time. But seeing how it actually works in the industry killed most of my interest. By the time I was actually getting paid to stare at lines of code all day I hated it. If you want a better chance of getting a job I'd recommend avoiding webdev which is full of normalfags looking for easy money. And it's soul-crushing work as well.

IMO the best path without going to grad school is to study low-level programming including PLC since there aren't many people who know it anymore and the way things are going there'll be a lot more needed to program assembly lines, robots, etc. It's also more interesting since you actually work with the fundamental of computers instead of mashing together a bajillion javascript frameworks. I would have done that if the fucking corona lockdowns hadn't cancelled all the robotics classes.

You're a special case. Most every young male in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Britain, and much of Western Europe are either struggling to make ends meet, or have no disposable income. Even those who are debt free.

Now I've made good money before doing hard labour, and during those times I was able to live by myself and buy whatever I needed to live comfortably and on the bleeding edge of vidya capability, but making minimum wage or even 20% above it still lands a single male around the poverty line after taxes.

Relative to the wages here, yeah it is. Any entry level job here can let you live in your own apartment and if you can't afford an apartment by yourself, you could just get a roommate.

My entry level job gives me enough money to do whatever I want. Whether that is buying the most expensive electronics available, investing, etc.

I make fast food. I wish I was just put in a room, alone, with all necessary equipment and ingredients within, a monitor to display current orders, and a conveyor belt leading out. In that room, the lighting would be dim, there would be absolute silence, save for any audio I'd like to play from my phone, and a single settee upon which to rest when I'm not making food.
I think the biggest gripes I have with work is there's too much light, there's too much noise, people want to interact with me, there are bugs, there are no chairs, and I have to listen to the same fat retards ask for their daily pile of goyslop, in their fat retard stumbling and mumbling and exaggerated ghetto/country drawl over a drive thru speaker every minute.
Besides these things, I enjoy my work, I excel at it, and I wouldn't mind working even 70 hours a week.

bruh, that IS the problem. it's about supply and demand. if there's 200 applicants then they can afford to be picky and they can lower the wage to minimum. also, they probably already hired someone but keep the ad up so they can collect applications. they might call you in like a year after everyone else quits on them.

Got let go 6 months ago and I'm broke as shit, first paycheck from my new wagekekkoldry is late april, I have to survive like 50 days with 0 cash.
On the upside there's a university with a gym for showering and other facilities and a farm that I've gotten free food from before.
On the downside, I'm going to be pretty far behind on bills.

April is tax season.. You may be eligiable for a return, which if you were working full time could be a hefty sum. When I got laid off after a 9 month stint at a factory I got back about 2K USD and that helped a lot. And if you're employed right now, proof of employment is usually enough to get a payday loan, or even sub-1k credit card from your bank. If the card is available I recommend it but only use it in an absolute emergency. If 3rd world then crumbs, maybe steal a 3-wheeler and sell it for scrap to buy yourself some socks if need be.

Everyone at my job suddenly seems to treat me like a leper. Its strange because it happened so suddenly.
Before people seemed neutral or even somewhat positive towards me, but all at once there was a shift. Literally overnight one day thing seem normal then the next day everyone at works seems extremely avoidant and uncomfortable towards me, like avoiding eye contact, staying further distances from me. The people who have to deal with me seem like they're extremely strained whenever they have to talk to me, and people other departments outright refuse to talk to me, they'll ask for someone else instead or if they see I'm the only one available they'll just wait until someone else is available, even when they call they'll instantly ask me to talk to someone else instead.

Even my boss seems to be under extreme stress whenever speaking with me, like it's this arduous task taking all her willpower to not run away. Whenever anyone finishes talking to me they seem relieved to get away as soon as possible.

I wish I knew why this is happening, but whatever it is in doubt anyone would ever tell me. The only real option I have is to simply stop caring.

Okay, the plot deepens. I went to see the police officer and they were like ????. He said to my face "we had no objections to your application".

My boss basically threatened me to resign or they'd charge me for lying and charge me for all the training and work gear. I stupidly signed my resignation and then afterwards, when the police did clear my name, my boss said "yeah well, you've already resigned".

Here's what I don't get. I literally performed the job well, they're short staffed, I turned up every day without complaint. And then yesterday it was like the supervisor and the boss just turned dark on me and it became a mission to get me out of there. I'm actually a gregarious little fuck when I have to be to get by with normies, so it wasn't a case of autist standing out.

The cop was pretty angry and said the way I was being treated was unfair, my family was livid and I'm just like ?????.

Business Management degrees actually include education on the signs of workplace bullying. The scenario you describe is pretty much the textbook scenario for gossiping and slander. I've seen it, one worker incessantly bleated about this one guy behind his back for hours on end. He'd go out drinking with the young boys, and just for 2-3 hours straight go on about how so and so is a pervert and how so and so is secretly gay. Young people are gullible idiots so they go along with it, and then it spirals from there.


Yes, business managers are trained to recognize the signs, and no, they often don't give a fuck.

Walked off my job yesterday. I'd been working three twelve-hour shifts a week there for about three months, the last few weeks had consistent fourth shifts of twelve. I was so burnt that I used all my mulligan days getting out of last week entirely, then I walked in today and was instantly soaked in misery and foot pain as if I'd never left. I put in half a shift, turned my phone on airplane mode and went home at lunch without saying anything so they'd get overloaded and have to throw management on to cover me. Fuck them all. Most stressful job I've ever had and the money didn't justify it, I liked the hours when I could work my ass off a couple of days a week and spend the rest doing what I wanted but I'm not getting worked to exhaustion for weeks at a time to get paid shit and feel like shit even when at home.

I'm so alienated and pissed off after that I'll probably get some retail position or mcjob just to mess around and squeeze rent out of them for a few weeks. I never worked anything like that so I might as well go as low as possible just so I'll be instantly waved in and that much more able to walk out if some faggot supervisor thinks he can power trip. I did jobs "right" and got burnt for it so I foresee a lot of hour-long bathroom breaks, deliberate ignorance of company policy and using a phone in a corner in my future.

You're unironically probably better off living in a forest in a hut, living on scraps, than working a job like that, regardless of your money. You're doing some permanent damage.

Have you ever thought about what you'll be like at 70 if you keep that up? Why do you think burnt out workers in their 50s are all obese with crippled legs? It's because their legs fuck out from being on concrete floor and work boots 12 hours a day and they literally can't move.

I cant take it anymore. Customer service is one of the rings of hell. When I first got this job I was so elated to have a job where I dont have to do physical labor or bust my ass the entire shift. After nearly 2 yrs I realize now that its actually far worse. Its psychologically straining especially for wiz types this is actual torture. I find it difficult to describe the way it destroys my soul, especially since I have to deal so often with people facing tragic circumstances. I dont feel good asking payment from someone who just lost a family member. I don't feel good having to call someone and talk to them about payment when their home just burned down. I dont feel good having to read off policy to someone who had a kid who committed suicide. Even the times that dont involve such situations is still draining, having to talk to 50 or 100 different people a day is just not healthy for your psyche.

I had the same problem when I worked at a gas station. Fucking trash coworker would consistently show up extremely late so I'd be stuck staying over. What really pissed me off is he was openly dealing drugs out the store, people always showed up and saw me working and got disappointed and desperately asked me when my coworker would show up so they can buy drugs from him. It didn't take long for me to realize many times the reason he was late was because he was out in the parking lot selling to his customers, meanwhile I'm just sitting at the register 50 minutes after my shift ended dealing with a long line.

I finally had enough one day when I called my boss and they didnt pick up and it was 15 minutes after my shift ended. There was a huge line of people, I told them im off the clock and walked out the store. I'm guessing a lot of snacks got stolen but I didnt care anymore. Boss left a note saying "dont leave until next person arrives" but didnt ever directly confront me,or address the asshole who keep showing up late. I quit shortly after that.

Okay, so I've found out that work isn't this place where the supervisors above you are totally in charge at all times and dictates things. There is a narrow range of prerogatives they have, specifically relating to the tasks in the employment contract.

I also found out "meetings" have an underlying legal infrastructure and they're their own thing. Being called in for a "Meeting" in a different thing than being told something on the work front.

Here's my plan for getting back into employment from this
>Go to the free legal lawyers, tell them what happened, say I'm over it but I want help knowing what I can legally put on a CV and knowing what I have to write on contracts and not.
>Finding out everything I need to know about privacy laws, being able to record phone calls

Welp I just got laid off today boys. As part of restructuring or cost-cutting or whatever the hip term for it is nowadays, but my job was eliminated. It's a bit of a shock I won't lie especially since is the first time ever in my working life that's happened to me. Well I guess the fact that it was basically a work restructuring that eliminated my job and not something of my own fault, is at least a small comfort for me I suppose. Like I don't have to lie at future interviews when they ask me why I got fired you know. Guess I'll be applying for unemployment now and starting to look for other jobs. Thankful I got a shit load of money squirreled away and not a lot in expenses though so I think I'll manage. Will kinda suck not having anything to do for a while though.

I sometimes wonder if I got the freedom I wanted, what would I do with it? These days I feel like Id do nothing with my free time.

Finished my first week working my first ever job as store warehouse overseer or whatever it is called in English. It was fucked up. The man who was supposed to teach me how to do shit fully retired yesterday and I have to learn everything by myself. He was teaching me for three days something that he himself learned in three months. Coworkers are two succubi, one is alright, the other one is a bitch. My boss is one strict witch and I wager she is gonna drink a lot of my blood in the days to come. She is a typical penny pinching business owner, wants me to do shit even when there is nothing to do, she will think of something ridiculous, like change order of the tiles in a stand (it is a bathroom wares store), just because, to keep me busy. Moreover, she wants me to do everything 'manly', installing shit, repairing shit, using screw drivers and other tools. I never signed up for this, it was supposed to be overseeing the warehouse, giving and receiving wares, noting everything down in a computer program. And I am not even working there officially yet, I am just a fucking intern.
And the worst thing, my cat marked the jacket I wore today with piss and I didn't notice it because my nose chronically running, so there is that.

in Matthew’s Gospel, the “accusing” question, along with the naming his mother, his four brothers and his sisters “stresses that Jesus has not
lived up to his household responsibilities and/or social obligations,” and
highlights his failure to enact the gendered role of “supplier of resources”
(Myles 2014, 160). In other words, the accusing question suggests that
Jesus has
not
been doing the work that was expected of him. Myles focuses
on the Gospel of Matthew, but the same reading could easily be applied
to the Markan text. The accusing question should be taken to mean that Jesus is

Title: The Refusal of Work in Christian Ethics and Theology
Series: Journal of Religious Ethics 2017-may 12 vol. 45 iss. 2

? Would this not mean that “work” is really two different, opposed phenomena—or else a single, self-destroying phenomenon?
John Paul avoids the contradiction by distinguishing between “work” and
“toil”: “the sometimes heavy toil that has … accompanied human work”
(1981, para. 9). Toil “accompanies” work, but it is not work itself. Toil exists
not only in difficult manual labor, but in the stresses of intellectual labor
and the demands of domestic labor. Yet he maintains that “in spite of all
this toil—perhaps, in a sense, because of it—work is a good thing for man”
(1981, para. 9). The distinction between work and toil in Laborem exercens
is another version of the distinction between work-in-its-essence and the
bad jobs that are the deformed version it often takes.

>>273810Therefore, humans’ use of Earth’s
materials and other economic activity ought to be structured so that they
allow everyone to pursue these things on an equitably full basis. Work
(wage-earning activities and unwaged domestic/care activities necessary to
enable their performance) is not inherent to or requisite for life-enhancing
joy, self-transformation, or deep solidarity. Rather, work exists because of the
brokenness of human life caused by sin, whether understood as an intraindividual or a social-structural phenomenon: humans find it nearly impossible to order our life together so that everyone can pursue life-enhancing joy,
self-transformation, and deep solidarity on an equitably full basis.35

Volf recognizes that such ascription of inherent value to work
comes “in spite of the lack of explicit exegetical support,” given what he himself characterizes as “silence” about it in the New Testament: “Only indirectly did [Jesus] affirm the need
to work: when he said that people will be judged on the basis of their efforts to satisfy
human needs of the poor… . The explicit New Testament statements about work view it
very soberly as a means of securing sustenance, not as an instrument of cultural
advancement” (2001, 93).

I'm so fucking tired of my job. I am a front facing customer service job. It's annoying because some days it's really quiet and not many customers or phone calls, but that just tricks you into a false sense of security. The moment you try to take a dump or a cigarette break suddenly theres 30 people walking in back to back and 45 phone calls. I play online chess a lot on my cellphone but it completely fucked my rating up because the minute I'm in a crucial part of the game suddenly I get floored with phone calls and customers and cant even look at the board and either lose from time running out or else I have like 2 minutes left on the clock and end up losing due to having to rush and making stupid moves.

It's so infuriating, I know it's not good but every time someone walks in the door or the phone rings I get extremely annoyed. I try to rush through interactions as fast as possible because I just want to get them off the phone/out the door ASAP.

Legitimately there are days where 2 hours pass and I dont get a single 2 minute period without another phone call or another customer. My last job (gas station) was even worse.

The memory that really sticks out to me got how fucked that job was, one day I walked in and started my shift at 1PM and had to use the bathroom. There was a long line of customers so I told myself I'd go right after I dealt with them all. 7 hours later, at 8PM, I was still standing in the same spot desperately holding it in, doing transaction after transaction. For 7 hours straight there was not a single pause in the rush of customers. Not 2 minutes, not even 30 seconds.

The fucked up part is that wasn't abnormal for that shift, actually it was pretty standard. 8 and a half to 9 hours straight of literally never ending customers. After a while I stopped seeing people as humans and start seeing them only as this abhorrent mass of flesh that is always craving newports, blunt wraps, budweiser, and scratch off tickets. It didnt matter how polite they were I grew to despise them with a silent intensity, this furious hatred where I wanted to spit in their ugly face and scream at them. Customer service is so dehumanizing.

That's what led me to be a street neet for a while. If you're getting bux or working a job that can be feasibly done while homeless, I recommend giving it a shot. Putting your last month's rent in to some gear (sleep system, weaterproofing, mobile shelter, and even some entertainment) and then scouting out a safe spot to bunker down for a while, whilst still collecting bux, can be a great way to get some life-saving experience and also save money.

I tried driving for uber for the first time today. Stayed out for only an hour an a half but I made $40 thanks to one nice guy who tipped $20. If not for him it would have been a measly $20 from uber for an hour and a half. He also talked to me the whole ride though and I had to pretend to not be dead inside and come up with things to say in response. I think I did a halfway decent job of it, but I still don't care for it. I hope most of them just sit there. All in all I found it to be a highly anxiety provoking experience. I came home drenched in sweat and couldn't get hungry for an hour afterwards because I was so tense.

Some of it was due to my unfamiliarity with the app. You have to press some menu to get to a button that you need to swipe in order to end a trip and I didn't know about it so only after I started driving away and noticed the thing kept giving me directions that I needed to hit the button. I kept forgetting this on all of my trips so at some point while driving around I was trying to go remember what I had to press to bring up the slider to end the trip. I ran into a curb and scraped my wheel at one point because I was fiddling with the app. I would have just sat there after dropping them off but none of my trips had me pulling into a space they were all in areas I couldn't park in. I think without fucking up with the end trip button it would be like 30% less anxiety provoking. I am going to try again later. Luckily I only need about $60 a day to pay all my bills so after I get $20 more I can stop (at least that would be the case if I weren't already behind on earnings for this month). Being able to just stop whenever I feel like it is definitely nice.

I'm the wiz who was laid off last week along with a bunch of other people at my company due to downsizing, and I can't believe what I'm saying, but I actually miss going to my job. I guess it's because I always tended to suffer from bouts of depression, especially since I was long-time NEET before I got my job and being busy at work at least allowed me to forget about it and focus my thoughts on something else. My job kept me from feeling depressed and now that I don't have that routine, I'm sort of at a loss.

Plus it was nice making money and not having to rely on anyone else for support. I do try to keep myself exercising regularly and I'm studying this online IT course right now to keep myself busy, but I still have no idea what to do with the rest of my time while I'm searching for jobs. I usually try to force myself out of the house and go to the local library to be in a new environment to do some reading and work on my laptop and I find it helps somewhat.

It's strange that I was okay with being a NEET when I was in my 20s, but now that I'm older, I find myself bored of NEETdom and can't stand the idleness. I feel like I've lost the taste for anime & videogames a long time ago too and can't see myself escaping back into them. I'm trying to remind myself though that I shouldn't stress too much about losing some wagie-job and just move forward.

Continuing the boring saga of me starting uber; I just spent like an hour trying to figure out how to play a podcast/book on a bluetooth earpiece, have the uber directions and alert sounds also play through that earpiece and also play internet radio for the passenger at the same time. I think I can use an old phone, then create a wifi hotspot with my main phone, hook the second phone to the wifi hotspot and then play music from the second phone. It made me think about how now the human brain has been repurposed to do this shit when it was designed to be like foraging for berries and hunting and shit.

You don't have an aux cord? They also have bluetooth radio emitters so you turn to an unused channel and it puts out what it gets on bluetooth. Then you can have a dedicated bluetooth passenger device for playing music, your phone can be bluetooth synced to headphones with the uber directions.

I don't have an aux cord but my car will connect to my phone with bluetooth. The issue is that I can't connect to the car and connect to the earbuds at the same time.

I'm pretty sure it should work like this.

You just go in telling them exactly what you think they want to hear. Make out you're planning to settle down soon and are hoping to married through church, and you need a stable 9/5 job in the local area where you punch in and punch out to support a family. You can lie like fuck about your personal life, who you're dating, what you're doing, etc. It's only past experience where they can ping you for blatantly lying, and even here they can't charge you unless there's proven harm.

That's the big way for entry positions. Have some vague ambitions but say that life is catching up to you and you just don't feel like relocating. They'll think you're the one person in the tech industry that won't rugpull them in two to three years time if you do these bullshit lies.

What we have right now is a continuation of the recession that started in 2020.

Markets will absolutely explode at the end of 2023, 2024 and 2025. I'm going to be so fucking rich.

You're going to fucking hate it. I work at a gas station and it is a circle of hell, everything is monotonous and tiring, I deal with 80IQ drug addicts and incompetent managers while doing the work of 3 fucking people and sacrificing my health and free time all for 23 AUD an hour. I fucking hate Indians so much it's unreal, they're like succubi but hyper autistic and greedier than the most jewish rat. My boss gets wide eyed when you mention money in any capacity, I'm not joking, dude's eyes just widen like a fucking lizard if you mention money and we're having record sales ($20k+_a day). Enjoy being stared at on cameras while working like a slave and being disrespected by both your manager and customers for barely a fraction of how much your labour is worth.

you really sound like a delusional normalfag. you are working at a gas station, not doing backbreaking hard labor. You are a cashier and maybe put some shit on the shelves, stop acting like you are working so darn hard and deserve so much money. Frankly you are getting paid shit because literally anyone can do the mundane tasks required of you. You are competing with everyone else who has no skills and acting like somehow you should be paid more than what the market rate for unskilled labor is. You are whining and entitled and take no responsibility for your own situation. If your boss pays you shit and works you too hard, just get a different job. Shouldn't be hard if you're so smart and hard working like you claim, so what's the issue?

I'm not defending mega corps, merely acknowledging economic realities. No employer is going to pay you more than what the market rate for labor in your area is. The reason is because this is a stupid business decision. They could just get a different worker to do what you do and pay him what you are making if you decide you will no longer work for the money they are paying you and demand more. It will be a minor hassle for them, but it makes plain economic sense so they will do it every time. If you want more pay you have to deal with this economic reality. You could move to an area where unskilled labor is in higher demand and wages offered in that market will be higher. You could learn more specialized skills that put you into a different labor market than the one for unskilled labor. Since there are generally fewer of these types of workers, and their work is more critical to generating many businesses profits, their pay is generally higher. You could purchase capital and go into business for yourself.

Whining about how the mega corporations are evil for trying to maximize their profits is not going to help you or change anything. Most mega corps are publicly owned companies so it would be literally illegal for them not to try and maximize their profits, not to mention completely nonsensical on its face.

Another update. I drove for 2 hours today in rush hour and made almost $93. From now on I am only driving during rush hour. Makes me feel bad for the guys slaving 8 hours a day at $10 an hour. It honestly feels like a cheat code to make that much in so little time. I have never been paid more than $25 an hour at any job before this. I also feel bad for the Amazon wage slave that I took to a distribution center because the ride was almost $35 paid to me and I know uber takes as much as half from what they charge the customer. So this guy has to spend like $50-60 probably just to make it to his slave position.

The non-meme answer is that productivity has most likely tanked severely for most remote workers. The whole narrative that workers are just as productive working from home is only coming from one side, the workers at home. When businesses assert the opposite, they get screamed down as liars by a barrage of workers looking to keep their comfortable benefits. Everyone makes out that corporations are just being dumb and narrow minded, but I don't think so, I think they'd be eager to cut down on that office space if they could.

NEET again. Got thrown away the same day I decided to quit. I wasn't really fired, because I've been an intern until now, but the boss said I am not fit for that job. I barely had any traning for fucks sake. The guy who was supposed to train me was busy while he was there and after finishing his duties he quit and left me hanging. They didn't treat me as an intern, but as someone who was supposed to know everything, despite me telling them i can't do shit I don't know how to do. Anyway, the feeling of freedom I felt after going through the exit door was incredible. It was my first experience in wageslaving and it made realize how deep and wide is the distance between me and normalfags, it is like we are different species whatsoever.
I am not sure what to do next. Perhaps I will try myself in the field i have studied for, but I don't have much hope for that.

I just experienced the most brutal wagie humiliation at the gas station.

Their owner was in for whatever reason and ordering coffee's for his family. And this fucking sociopath purposely made his order as complex as possible, getting every different size, being vague on the order and then loudly shouting and mocking the old guy behind the counter at each "mistake". He intermixed insults like "getting a bit presumptuous you are, I didn't order" and "How long have you been working here". The old guy kept his calm and composure, but everyone else in the store was laughing at the spectacle. It was an entire flex and set up, the way he was bombastically shouting at this wagie to make a spectacle. Then he turns to gossip with the other customers in a normal voice.

Now I'm sitting at home with my coffee from the same gas station and it just fucking tastes bitter. I'll never go there for food, coffee, gas or anything again.

Eventually, he learned to ignore the one abusive customer's rants, as he basically liked the job save for that one bad turbonormie customer.

I'm about to get my license. I'm 25 and I've only been driving for a month. I got my handmedown shitbox fixed and now I have to pay car insurance, so… need a job. What did you wagies do when you first started working? I never went to college and I'm too autistic for the service industry, so I'm gonna have to apply for a physical job. Any ditch diggers here? What job search site (or app) do you personally use? Despite being a rotund fellow, I have the stamina for physical work, as long as I don't have to interact with normalfags much. I don't know how some of you can stand working in offices. Surely physical work must pay well, right?

like anything the pay varies with what type of work you are doing and how specialized and in-demand the skills for it are. In an industry like landscaping you are competing with the fact that people could just buy a mower and do it themselves, so there is a certain ceiling to how much money you can make. With something like plumbing though, if someone has a burst pipe or a broken toilet, they need it fixed right away and they won't know how to do it themselves. Same with HVAC. With all these jobs the deal is the same, you will need to interact with customers to do estimates, contracts, and collect payment, but during most jobs most people leave you mostly alone. I would not recommend doing any of them as an employee rather than a sole proprietor except for the minimum amount of time you need to learn the skills. The reason is it pays like shit. Much less than the average office wage slave. Only business owners make good money. If they are not teaching you skills quickly, complain. If that doesn't work, quit and find someone else who will teach you.

The first day of my gas station job was okay, albeit a bit long. I really don't want to go back, but I know once I'm done with training, I'll be getting shorter shifts.

i got a job as security guard, i am forgetful and clumsy as well, there's no way to get fired from this job for being these things though, you basically get paid to do nothing all day
when i was interviewed i pretty much got hired on the sport despite having no employment history
make sure to stay away from security guard in a commercial area though, the company that hired me put me in a remote area between some hills, very rarely do i get bothered
the only people that i had to interact with are guys who work there at the start, but after a few months they've noticed that i'm asocial so they don't even bother saying hi anymore, which is preferable
besides that the only interactions that i have are with my colleagues who are old men (only old guys usually work this kind of job, young people stay away from it, which is good) at the beginning and end of my shift when we switch
i'm depressed so i do nothing all day but stare at the wall and talk to myself, browse imageboards and jerk off; if you wanted to do something fun with your time you could though, you could bring a laptop with you and watch movies/cartoons, listen to music, read etc., it's the "best" job for a wizard really

I imagined that, being paid 15/hr, 72 hours a week, including overtime nets you over 60k per year, or over 5k/month, and the tradeoff is sorting, scanning, and working like a robot for 12 hours every day.
Honestly, I wish I could do something like that. I love sorting things, I have no social life or hobbies, and I'd save up enough in a mere few months to go to trade school full time to fast track a skillset for a better job.

Security guard is a comfy job especially if you're put in a place where you have minimal social interaction.
you basically get paid to sit around and maybe sign in a few people here and there or watch the cameras depending on the location. Oftentimes you don't even interact with anybody especially if you're in some industrial park or guarding a warehouse. I highly recommend it, especially to wizards with social anxiety or recovering ex-NEETs who need a source of income. The job has a lot of benefits too, especially if you can bring a laptop with you. You could read books, write a novel, learn to program or take an online class, etc. It's basically a job that will pay you to work on whatever personal projects you want. No other job will really allow you to do that I think.

That's the only reason why I couldn't do something like that. At every warehouse job that I've done, the only real source of stress came from the normalfags that I had to work with. At my last job, there was a period when most people were on vacation and that was probably the most relaxing time I've had at a job.
