wasting time, watching the clock edition

I finally quit my software dev job the last friday. I was scared as fuck thinking my boss would yell at me or something but he didn't care that much. He just made a bitchy comment saying that if I can't handle pressure I should consider retiring from software industry (my main excuse to quit was that I was totally stressed and burnout, unable to work anymore). I was utterly stressed and barely slept the night before but after that few awkward minutes I just felt completely free, as if an immense weight were released from my chest. I'm happy because I finally left that shithole (no documentation,no testing, no QA, no management, just write any shit that works to give me money even if you have to sacrifice your sleep time) but I feel bad about the others guys working at there. Things are going to get rough for them since I wrote most of the frontend and they don't know what the fuck I did.

Good job anon! do you have another job lined up or you're gonna NEET for a while?

 No.235314

I quit without anything else lined up. My family is thrash talking me now for that reason but that's minor problem compared to the constant state of stress and anxiety I was experiencing in that sweatshop. However, this last weekend I solved a hiring test to work in another company that looks much more decent (senior engineers, 40 hours per week, QA team). For the time being I'm NEETing, it feels great to have energy to be able to pick a book and read once again. I commited the error of asking my boss if he wants me to write documentation, he says yes but my contract was ended then and there so I'm not really obliged. I would do it out of willingness to help the other person being exploited there but I don't even know where to begin to documentate that ton of spaghetti code so I'm considering to do nothing.

What slave works for 40+ hours a week and 5 days a week? That is slavery.

I live in Wisconsin and I make $1,000 a month working 2 days out of the week and for a total of 24 hours.

$420 goes to rent
$140 goes to food
$20 goes to gas
$20 goes to miscellaneous expenses

That means I have $400 of disposable income each month, which means I can buy whatever the fuck I want. I already have a good gaming computer and everything I will ever need, so I don't really buy anything. I moved out at age 20 and I never been back to my parents house.

My job is being a security guard and all I do is browse the internet the whole time and do a patrol every hour.

See look, you can get a nice comfortable house for $246/mo at 30 yrs. That leaves you $200 a month for utilities, you should be able to make that work easily. Since you're building equity you'll either pay it off eventually and get an extra 200 or so dollars a month to use or you could cash out the equity and sell it if you want to move.
You can probably find a cheaper house than this as long as you don't live in a major urban center or something, in which case you just need to move.

My car broke down yesterday, it's gonna cost me maybe more than a thousand dollars and I have no idea how to get to work after tomorrow (mechanics lend me a car but not during the week-end). I have the money to buy a car but with lockdown and all the bullshit with Covid it's a pain. It honestly feel like the breaking point, I usually don't think about suicide much but since yesterday the box of sleeping pills are more attractive than usual. I wish I could deal with things without breaking down.

Posted in the last thread about an older guy who just started in the warehouse where I have also just started. He must be at least sixty-five, based on his appearance, slow walking pace, etc. He has worked for several warehouses and told me that he "works wherever they [the agency he is signed up with] send me", but I can only imagine that these places try him out for a few weeks and then tell him he is too slow. His workrate is the lowest on the leadership board published each day, and he told me that he struggled to keep up in one warehouse and in another he felt lonely all day because his co-workers all spoke a foreign language. He has brought up his workrate a couple of times, so is obviously concerned about it.

I am tempted to take a thousand pounds out of my savings (which are decent, due to previous job and barely spending any money for the past several years) and give it to him, perhaps anonymously. But I don't know if this would be patronising and may piss him off. He told me, laughing and cheerful as always, that the money he is earning is "shit" but that it allows him to pay rent (I assume therefore that he does not own a house). Maybe I'm assuming too much about his benevolent character, but he seems like such a basically good, rather naive, rather slow, cheerful person. It hurts me to see him walking slowly around the aisles of the warehouse pushing a trolley for nine hours a day with his mask on and everything.

Any thoughts on the money thing?

It does sound patronizing tbh, I mean just imagine if you were in his shoes and some younger zoomer/millenial faggot just walks up to you while you're working and offers you some cash just for the heck of it. Wouldn't you be kind of offended by that? And besides, you really don't know his personal situation, maybe he's just working at this place cause he's retired and bored from sitting all day at home? You said he's over 65, so its more then likely he's just doing this to kill free time or maybe he just lonely and wants some human interaction. A lot of retired older people get part-time jobs or volunteer in their spare time, just to avoid rotting at home all day. For all you know, the guy could have hundreds of thousands of dollars stacked in his bank account and you'd never know.

I think a better thing would be to just offer to buy him some lunch or maybe treat him to a beer after work if you want to do something nice for the guy, but you still have to approach it from a friendly gesture and not in a patronizing one, or he might assume you're taking pity on him. And probably the best thing, would be to just ask the dude why he's working at this place at his age anyways and let him tell you his side of the story if he wants.

"Are you joking, don't quit over that, we'll find a solution", then he changed my schedule leaving me a few days. I'm not that surprised since I tend to worry way too much and always expect the worst possible situation. Hopefully i'm able to get a car soon enough.

I wish I could not care about this stuff, I felt like shit worrying for a few days, thinking about killing myself even asking an unemployed neighbor to drive me for money. Then my coworker called in sick again for who knows how long and it's like i'm the only one not wanting to make trouble or disturb people with my problems

Thank you, I appreciate the comment and perspective.

I have talked to him about his past etc, without trying to insist on him telling me about his life. He worked part-time for around two-decades with a family friend, then in another place where he lost his job because a female co-worker was given his workload. On Friday he was the only person left with orders to fulfil near clocking-out time so I helped him, I guess I will just continue to do that. It just makes me sad to see him struggling to keep up, and he has worked at several other warehouses where I assume (based on what he told me) he struggled to keep up to the point where they fired him or he left. My own step-father (who looks younger than this man) has enjoyed retirement for several years and I wish this guy was in a similar position, is all. Thanks again wiz.

For some reason my office workplace makes me sick.

Whenever I eat anything there, I always get disgusting digestion problems and I keep burping up disgusting after tastes.

I also occasionally get really sick from there, like I get a tension headache, a fever, and my stomach starts hurting to the point I have to throw up in the bathroom.

I don't know what it is, if there is a lack of oxygen, some kind of mold in the venting or some kind of toxin within the building, I don't know. I hate that place.

You guys are full doomer. I swung by the place last night and it was at a local government owned art gallery housed at a historical building. There were petit bourgeoise types and eccentric artists, dressed nicely and turned up before the current model was set to go and asked some questions. It's genuine, they are mostly bored middle aged housewives, I cannot fathom as to why they're so short on people that are willing to pose nude, or why they just don't do it themselves and rotate. But I guess they want to draw young people, IDK, the advert was at the local community college.

Well I finally did it. I got the "comfy" job that I've dreamed of for years. I get paid $17/hr to spend most of my working hours not working. Thanks to corona-chan I only have to go into office two days per week, in which I do 90% of my "work", all other days I spend at home doing whatever I want on my PC, only occasionally answering an e-mail or phone call.

This is basically living the dream for an ex-NEET, yet somehow I still despise it and constantly wish to be doing something else. Maybe because I've already grown sick of this lifestyle, and working this dead-end job will only reinforce it as my life stagnates even further. I don't know what I want anymore.

Had you never programmed before? How did you get the job?
If the project is complex it can take several months for a programmer to produce something of value. If it's your first job they most likely expected you to not do much at the start. Are you picking up the pace?

It's not a programming job. I was studying programming before but was too lazy and never got anywhere. I thought programming is just not for me and gave up. I am working data entry at a tax consultant. If I am not fired I'd be expected to start dealing with clients and government officials which is hell for me, especially since I work in a corrupt third world country. The clients will ask to help them avoid taxes, tried to cheat me or blame me for their problems. The government officials will make the process as difficult as possible to try and wring me dry for bribes. I kind a hope I can get fired. Maybe this experience will give me the motivation to learn programming seriously and get a job in that field. I mean, it can't be worse right?

I'm so fucking tired of working. I'm sick of waking up to clock in. I'm sick of all of these stupid processes that I have to follow. I'm sick of setting up interviews and having to play these stupid social politic games.

My hobbies feel like chores, my thoughts are sluggish. It's becoming more and more difficult to keep my train of thought. The games that I often play are competitive in nature and attempting to play them is a recipe for disaster. It's literally asking to be in an even worse mood.

My job hasn't even changed significantly its just my mental state that has changed. I just want to day dream and sleep. Day dreaming is very enjoyable and sleeping kills time. Unfortunately I have real life responsibilities. I have to do this and do that. I want it all to stop.

Was happily neeting for over a year until I had to accept some low-skill job from my jobcenter.
So another guy also started there with me, and it only took him a few days do remind me how much ugly people can be, especially in a work society.

Making private phonecalls during training, Complaining repeatedly about how he has nothing to do to me, how much the dude who got him this position sucks, showing off succubus-porn on his phone few times a day, calling his son a nerd, then he sucks up to people constantly who he heard will help him get up the ladder, or going out of his way to tell superiors how motivated he is and that he wants to work. If it's actually about learning or doing his job he doesn't look like he has a clue, still I bet that they will get rid of me first because I don't suck up to others and keep to myself.

As long as he didn't talk to me I didn't care, but then i made the mistake of going through my music on the phone scrolling through anime-looking-album covers without noticing him creeping up from behind and him asking if I like anime porn in front of everyone and telling me that I shouldn't take such a joke so seriously.

Going back neeting will be nice for now, but it has me wondering that in my experience the older I get, the stranger people become in low-entry job-positions and I start to think about how life will only get worse being the punchbag partly because I have no drive to get anything done.

Kinda fucked things up at a new job, after switching as I needed some change desperately, will probably have to quit. It's kinda complex and I don't have the willpower the describe it, but really not looking forward to having to interview again. Having to basically LARP as an eager employee with passion in order to even be considered, while the company is also lying and being vague about crucial details is just a fucking circus.

I hate everything about getting and holding a job so much, but it's still preferable to being homeless. The only really good thing that comes out of it is being able to afford to live alone with no one disturbing you, but the energy and time costs of an average job just suck the joy out of everything else.

I got my current job through a temp agency, so I never had to do an interview, I just put in an application and they called me a few days later and told me where to go. I worked as a temp for a few months and then got hired on permanently, and I've been there for several years now. I've also gotten some raises so it isn't all that bad, but I really hate it sometimes. When I think of leaving though I'm just filled with dread at having to actually find something else. It seems impossible to me. The few times in the past I interviewed for a job they didn't call me back, and I think if I had had to interview for this job I wouldn't have gotten it either.

(cont.) It's also ironic, I think. I have no doubt I would have failed the interview miserably, but since I was able to come in and actually demonstrate my ability, I've been able to succeed there. And I make more money than lots of other people on my shift, including people that have been there for years longer than me. The whole interview system that's set up now is a joke and probably causes companies to miss out on lots of good talent.

Interviews are such a total sham really. I just pretend that they are LARPing like I said before, so I can get through the bullshit parts. It doesn't even feel like a real social interaction, more like a scripted play, or an NPC interaction in a video game, where everyone just says the lines that are expected of each side. I've had tons of interviews and every single one is the exact same on these stages. I pretty much just recite a well-rehearsed speech sprinkled with canned answers, it's a completely brainless farce.

But when they start to pressure me with technical questions and real time problem solving I completely fall apart, the only ones I can pass is where there is a take home assignment since I crumble under pressure and can't even think when people are looking at me with expectations.

I really can't recommend leaving if your current situation is tolerable, only take the chance if you can feel it slowly destroying you from within.

Work keeps unpublished schedules on an Excel spreadsheet. I sometimes check it, to make sure my schedule doesn't deviate from my normal nightshifts. My schedule is normal for next week, thankfully. However, my name is there for the week after without any shifts.

This means one of two things. First, I'm gone. Unlikely, as I haven't done anything to get fired. Plus we're short staffed.

Thus, the more likely option is that I'm back on days for that week. We're still down two people, and we're already short staffed. I hope not. If my boss asks if I want to work days, I'll decline. I do just as much work on nights, without the aggravation of dealing with coworkers. Definitely not worth having my sleep schedule switch back and forth between nights and days

Day labourers and people in heavy manual labour jobs are the ones underappreciated and underpaid, to an absurd degree. The law of supply and demand fucks out here too, because 80% of the working age population would be physically incapable of doing their job. It's absurd that it's minimum wage work.

A truism I've noticed is that the people that whine the most about their position are the ones that are actually comfortable with lots of benefits, and they cry and whine in order to cover for this. I find it absurd that high school teachers, that make a middle class wage with all the school holidays off, that recycle the same lesson plan year after year, can get away with marking every non-graded assessment with a "good job" sticker, can flat out talk about their personal lives for 50% of the lesson, cry and whinge about how hard they have it. All the while there's some poor sod shovelling two tons of dirt where a digger won't reach, or someone moving a ton of steel over the course of a day down five flights of stairs.

The general consensus is that they're uneducated, dumb or whatever and therefore deserve to make chump change for the shittest work, but the hidden fact is that most of society can't actually do what they do day in, day out without falling apart. While poor teachers and nurses are uwu perfect and so gifted and hence deserve more money.

You forget that there are categories of human beings who are basically born to be mules: they're dumb as rocks and have the genes for being able to handle a shitload of physical labor. These traits are not distributed equally, so what happens is the people who end up doing those jobs day in and day out are largely (genetically, through the environment, whatever) selected to be able to handle backbreaking labor - the kind that world ruin us - without much agony.

The people who can't handle it turn to crime, become homeless, or kill themselves. I feel worse for them, honestly. Natural selection has already made it so that things are not quite what they seem: the guy working at 3 AM on a road crew on the highway is probably doing just fine, despite the difficulty your average white collar worker would face trying (and forever failing, due to not having generations of ancestors who were specialized cement carrying animals) to adapt.

Seriously, go try to have a conversation with some of these poor laborers sometime. The last one I met, he was living happily in a broken down house, rented to him by a nigh deaf, dumb and blind elderly succubus, and he hunted and killed rabbits with his bare hands, enjoying the gruesomeness of savaging the poor animals.

My work contracts out their overnight cleaning to another company. One of the workers is a literal retard who has other physical health problems. His duties are literally "vacuum and throw out garbage."

Every night, he tries to get me to throw out the garbage for him. I can't do it, for a number of reasons. Primarily, it's not my job and I'm too busy with my own job to help. I tell him that, and that he should get his boss to help him out. He acts sooky about it, like I'm trying to slight him by not helping or whatever

Sure. Not sure if he's a simpleton, has autism, or something else. There's something wrong with him, the poor person. Anyway, he has a bunch of symptoms:
>difficulty doing (or, rather, comprehending how to do) simple tasks. He can do some - like using the trash compactor, which is literally just "open door, throw garbage in, close door, and press "compress garbage" button. But he has difficulty understanding that he should put extra garbage bags under the empty garbage after changing it.
>makes more work for himself. Kind of related to the first point. An example is doing mats. He has to lay mats down after the other cleaners wax/clean the floors. This involves putting them on a cart and moving them to another part of the store, so he can vacuum them while the other cleaners do their thing. Every time, he leaves the cart yards away from where he has to lay down the mats, drags the mats (or carries them on his back), then complains about how hard it is to move the mats. Everyone tells him to move the shopping cart closer to make it easier (and have been trying to tell him for years), but he just says "yeah whatever" (or shrugs it off), and continues on. Or he overfills the garbage and complains about how hard it is to move. Most people would do it occasionally (out of laziness or trying to get the work done quicker), but he can't comprehend he's making the work hard for himself. The other two coworkers have to basically babysit him
>he can only talk about a handful of things - basically he's off on weekends, he's watching Dragon Ball or playing Pokemon, and some accident he was in a few years ago. That's it. Any deviation from it confuses him. He is also a little difficult to comprehend sometimes. (I mean, i'm similar - I hate talking, I am difficult to understand, I like both DB and Pokemon, and anything over "hi how are you" irritates me)
>He's easily agitated, and he's unable to maintain the proper composure. For example, he gets quite angry when someone throws garbage in a garbage can he changed. Most people would find it mildly annoying (which it is), but he acts like he's about to have a meltdown over it
>he just generally acts like a child, despite being in his late 30s. Like my last post - I keep telling him I can't help him throw out the garbage, that he shouldn't pile the garbage too heavy (he loads a cart up full of garbage) and he should get his actual boss to help him out. He thinks that I can't help him because I want him to hurt himself. Not the case - he always asks me when I'm in the middle of my own work, and can't just drop it

Jesus, sorry for the rant.. I'm not trying to slag the guy. He's actually the only person at work I like. I just feel like it would be easier for him to collect NEETbux so he can watch anime and play old RPGs. I know I'd jump at the chance.

Let me tell a story about how I learnt to unlearn my social programming and think fuck working hard.

As a lad I worked in a grocer department and had always been a hard worker pushing myself for some unknown reason to be the best little wagie I could be which up until then had been a good idea in my other jobs because time would fly and I would get respect from the managers meaning free food etc.

So I start this new job in a grocer and when I arrived during clean up there was 3 other staff that had to stay back as well as a cleaner to get the cleaning done by 5pm.
I decided being a good little wagie that I would figure out the most efficient way to clean and do my job in general.
The store removed the shifts of the other people that were paid to help clean as I was working so hard and soon within 30 minuets I had perfected the system of cleaning and doing other jobs in my department leaving me lots of time to spare before clocking out.
I had additional jobs thrusted onto myself outside of my department which I I did as I honestly mostly worked hard to make work fun and time fly.

One day I get told by my manager to go into the head managers office with him and I did I was expecting maybe they would offer me a better job or pay or congratulate me for working so hard but instead I was being pressured to sign a contract that exempted them from needing to pay me for any over time at all.
Keep in mind I did not do overtime it was just something I imagine was being pushed onto everyone.

Let me reiterate that I was working so hard that the store did not need to pay 4 other people for 2 hours to finish closing the store and I was being pressured into signing something to let them get away with paying me less.

Obviously I said I would not sign that and stoped trying to work even harder but I learnt that working harder can be good in a smaller workplace but anywhere big just forget it they will bend you over and fuck you in the ass if you let them plus all your collegues will just work even slower because they realize you are dumb enough to work harder.

Fuck waging I will never work again fuck them all and that video you posted reminded me of how FAKE HR are and boss men in general you would have to be a retard to not notie how awful these people are.

I've been applying for jobs and I'm afraid of getting one 30 minutes away that starts at 6 am. There's a second shift from 4 pm to 2 am but I don't know if I'll get that.

Recently, seeing the advertising of business has disgusted me. I don't want to think of working or someone who has to work. I hate the thought of spending almost 1/3rd of your day working or more + travel time. Hopefully getting a new job will mean money to travel, do new things, and learn more skills that I can repeat for more travel and fun.

This is EXACTLY the right attitude - if you're working for old man shiverpipes' all local woodworking supplies emporium, and he's the kind of guy who will say "go home jim, nothing left to do today that I can't get done!" Or lets you listen to whatever the fuck you like so long as you do your work, and understands when you call in to say you can't come in because you think you're cats dying, then work hard and it will be reciprocated?

Some corpoprate fucking outfit where they promote middle management on the basis of how sociopathic they are? Teasing them into cutting your hours and working you to the fucking bone by offering them half the money saved? Pushing that so hard that you see managers trying to make the "waste budget" bonus by scraping sugar back into burst packs OFF THE FLOOR, or giving people jobs that physically cripple them after a couple of years because of the weight they have to move in a day? FUCK THAT. Minimum wage, minimum effort, and the harder you try at these jobs the more pressure everyone else is going to be put under to work as fast as you - most of these people having already figured out what will happen to them from working hard.

Working for small business owners and working hard is actually worth it from my experience for the reason you listed you can even drink beer at work and have a lot more freedom.

The thing about large corporations is that they assume everyone is actually a retard that is why they have so many stupid rules and insist something is done exactly one what when it could be done better another way and honestly it is insulting to adhere to these little rules and policies.
WHat is more is at a small business you can actually have some more dignity if you work in customer service for example at walmart you have to let the customers be rude to you and just take it bur when I worked at a small business I would tell a customer to go fuck himself if a reasonable person would react the same because they are rude and do it in front of my boss as well.
It is dehumanizing working for a corporation.

The funny thing about the management trying to fuck you to get their little bonus is that the big dogs do the same exact thing to save a few shekels themselves I have seen it happen they are not a family looking out for each other with a common interest they are like savage beasts ready to devour each other.

Most people do not realize this but the only reason big corporations do anything at all is to make more money and give 0 fucks about social issues it is all manipulation.
I hate seeing how they advertise they give money to charity or act progressive because if the collective were still into lynching niggers you can bet your ass that Mcdonalds would be supporting that or whatever the fuck else they thought would help them get peoples money.

Have you seen these corporate faggots in lower and mid management strut around pretending they are important? There was one succubus manager at the supermarket I worked at who I nearly laughed at in her face because she would powerwalk around the store for no fucking reason and say phrases like "times money no time to waste".

This so much the clique is also strong and it can be VERY important to get along with your co-workers because they very may well decide to get rid of you if they do not enjoy your company and who can blame them honestly when you spend more time with the people you work with than your family.
I think a bit of bullying is fine and in my experience men will tend to stand around shitposting verbally all day meming on each other just make sure to set your boundaries and if you can try to joke around with them doing the banter.

One tip I have for wizzies is do NOT work with idiots if your job has any risk of injury due to incompetence because idiots will endanger you this is a very real threat the level of stupidity is shocking.

Alright, I managed to pull myself out of my depressive state and get a job. Considering the state of the economy at the moment, I did well landing a comfy job at a small company.

During the interview the owner got close to my face and said "That's why the company is called Dominator (yes, it's literally called that), because I like to dominate" and I was like internally "whatever, the guy is a boomer and probably eccentric, this sounds weirdly sexual tho". I needed the money, and even if the job was shit I was just not going to cancel my benefit right away and get a weeks pay on top of the usual bene, which would help pay some bills.

The guy was just comically evil though, to the point where he felt like a saturday morning cartoon villain. He was never happy, he'd drive down the road cutting off traffic and ranting about how everyone is a shit driver, how the road rules aren't followed anymore and how nobody knows shit. It's no exaggeration to say that everything that came out of his mouth was a complaint or an attempt at intimidation.

He started yelling at me on the job, and I Just smiled and laughed, to which he thought I was getting smart and he started threatening to leave me behind and drive off. I simply shrugged my shoulders, gave up, went through the motions until the day ended and quietly quit.

What really depressed me was seeing his staff. The two workers he had were aged guys that never smiled and barely talked, they both clearly hated him. He would pick on one and the old guy would be apologizing every step through loading the truck, the other one just never said a word and pushed back enough to be able to work by himself. Ending up like that old guy is a fate worse than NEETdom, and normies don't really talk about that. I'd rather live in a shitty apartment on welfare with no money than to be in my late 40s working a bullshit labor job being picked on by a psycho.

When he kicked a dog on site I knew it was time to get out, I couldn't be assed with anything involving police and knew he was psycho enough to push things to the limit.

In my experience, how bearable a food preparation job is is highly dependent on how well you can cope with you clothing, hair and body inevitably smelling like whatever is the most dominant smell in that kitchen, especially when tired and potentially stuck in public transportation for an hour. In the case of McDonald's that would be the grease from the deep fryers which absolutely penetrates everything and is hard to get rid of, but at least there you won't have to switch between handling foodstuffs and money throughout your shift, since they rotate their employees through stations they call them I believe.

I know there are hordes of pajeets right now programming from the age of 10, and unlike during the 90s, they don't exactly have subpar english or computer skills.

It did happen with Law though, in the 80s Law was the safest bet to be upper class. Now it's fast becoming a total meme degree due to oversaturation, most make a mediocre wage (below minimum wage in some crazy instances) doing 60 hours a week with little room for advancement.

It's hard actually trying to talk to people in the field about this, especially on imageboards, because a lot of them have a haughty attitude and do believe that they're all 150 IQ super geniuses. So many are even dismissive of pajeet coders, believing them to be subhumans incapable of what they do.


>Thats crazy! Do all that law school for that.


Yeah, it hit the news here two years ago. Graduate law students are often earning $50,000 NZ (Median wage) for 60 hours of work a week (salary cucks), that works out to be less than minimum wage. It should be topped up legally, but often it's not. Of course, a lot are there believing that they'll be the lawyer in Wellington earning $130,000 in a few years, and some certainly might be, but more than likely they'll be doing the same thing in 10 years time for maybe $60,000. It's trade wages for a university degree and 10 to 20 more hours a week.

But yeah, if it follows the same path as law, which it probably will, the ones that are currently trained in the field and maintain systems will hold their comfy position for life. The next crop coming up will have to eat shit, make shit wages and be perpetually blaming themselves for not making it. But once you do make it you have your ass wiped for life.

All the customers I get at night are absolute gutter trash drugtards one crumb of brown away from the golden shot, prosocial normalcool alcoholics that missed the train 15 years ago and welfare-abusing perma-partying foreigners that communicate in a sort of dog bark/halfhuman pidgin. And then I don't even get to relax at home because there's family members scurrying around loudly and not giving a hoot that I might need to sleep in the day and when I run across them in the kitchen or on the way to the bathroom they bully me half of the time. It wouldn't be half as bad probably if I could just give myself over to the abyss and commit to grinding through life on the minimum wage rail across destitution chasm and rent a room somewhere but forcing myself to go to school on weekdays ultimately only means i get turbo jetlagged on what amounts to less that minimal wage twice a week and I can't even afford to take a vacation because that goes out of my own pocket too.

Very bad. I hadn't slept the day prior so I was kind of tired but not too tired because I had drank 2 litres of tea the same night. Also I wasn't hungry at breakfast so I never ate. I shattered the container in my lunchbox before I even started my shift. When I started my shift, everything was going well. After a few hours, probably three or four, I started having a splitting headache that I told no one about and started thinking suicidal thoughts. The work was easy but my feet were in constant, horrible pain from my toes. I was okay with the other pain in my feet and calves and could live with that. You had to shout to talk as well. I told the person training me I wouldn't be back and I am planning to ghost the company which might screw me over in jobs. I hadn't called out this day to come back and I had texted the person who I was in contact with. I had breached a rule about calling a number to call out but I couldn't find the number because I think my parents threw away the paper.

So anyways, I'm avoiding my parents and the company to tell them I won't be coming in. I'm pretty sure my dad thinks I am still willing to go to that place (I was for money) but everything in my being is saying "NO" about this. He might think otherwise but I'll have to wait until tomorrow or tell him tonight to find out. He and my mother oppose quitting in one day.

I crave death. My brother's friend suicided because of low wage job and a marriage and housing commitment.

Your boss didn't want to give it to you because you're not a normie. There was probably a lot of, "Anon doesn't deserve this, he was shrugging off his duties the whole time"/"There's no way a creep like him ever did this" lies going on for awhile until some automated system or some personnel with no knowledge that you're not a normie forced the boss and other cohorts in HR to not expend so much effort over a single letter and gift card.

The manager said it was because covid delayed it for some reason that she never really explained fully. Could be part of it. Up until the virus meme came about, the store was pretty diligent about putting the employee of the month on a plaque as soon as the month ended. Last year, they never. I am just curious about the other 11 months, as no other wagie is on that employee of the month plaque for 2020

Still, similar thoughts to what you described ran through my mind. My direct manager (a separate one from the first) has thanked me multiple times for my work since starting here a few years ago, even before I received the award. Despite this, I don't really feel like my work is exemplary. Just average - I feel like I'm just doing what is required of me, nothing more. Plus I'm a socially awkward/shy wizzy who keeps to himself.

I'm pretty much set on working at any job that will pay me enough to live. Don't even care if it's only $20-30k per year, as long as I'm not homeless and can rent an apartment. Been a NEET for over 7 years living with my parents, now in my late twenties and sick of being unemployed and helpless. So now I'm in school to get a degree in something that sounds marketable. Not sure if employers even care about what I study, as long as it's not a gender studies, English or history degree.
My ultimate goal is to land a comfy remote job or work in a back office not interacting with retards all day. I just want to do my time here on Earth with as little pain as possible, then hopefully die at an early age like 40 and escape this purgatory.
It's a shame how 99% of males* around the world are condemned to a life of mediocrity, whose sole purpose is to attract (or try to attract) lazy succubi who will then leech off them for however long they're useful and produce demon spawn, thus continuing the meaningless cycle of human existence.

Why do you think of it like that? I was there before 2012, even as early as 2010 and 2011 just mining away.

I read all the top miners comments on the bitcoin.org forums back then. Not a single one of them hoarded all those coins until today and became millionaires.
People had to pay electricity bills which were huge so they sold several bitcoins for pennies on the dollar when the price was low.
Also, even the big miners ridiculed people who hoped the price will rocket to $100 some day. Nobody realistically thought it will be $50,000 in 2021.

~100% of people sold off their hoardings once the price hit the $100 level or higher, and crashes happened as people offloaded their coins.
You didn't miss out on anything because if you lived back then like those people did, you wouldn't have had the guts to hold onto such a ridiculous and uncertain investment.

The moment your initial minings or $10 purchases became worth $100+ you'd have sold off most of it like all those other people.
I sold a lot of bitcoins at about $40 each and I don't really regret it. It was still free cash. Didn't amount to more than a few thousand, but still, I had a quad GPU setup for gaming already, I didn't lose anything. Electricity bills did eat a chunk of it though.

The only point of this post was to make you see you didn't really miss out on anything, as most of us who mined back then didn't intend to hold 10 years. Most were ecstatic when it climbed to over a hundred bucks and took the cash.
When it climbed to $1000 that finally cleared out even the last hoarders. That's why you never hear about "bitcoin billionaires", there aren't any who had like 30,000 back then and decided "I'll just keep these until the 2020s".

There are of course some who made millions, but those happened to trade or hold from any point between 2010 or 2019 taking advantage of the rise. And those with very large mining farms, so their initial investment into Asics or GPUs has been huge. It's not therefore pure profit.

Retirement is a meme. Even high-end earners can't hope to retire in less than 20 years and even then not particularly well.

The trick is to find work that is tolerable, low stress and low effort for you, something for which you have a predisposition. Many wizzies figured out they can watch anime and play video games while being a security guard or get paid to write business software or manage IT because they like sitting on the computer all day thinking about abstract systems and how they fit together.

Stop thinking of retirement and start thinking how to make your life tolerable, maybe even enjoyable in the present. If your only hope is being able to do nothing in 30 years then you might as well kill yourself now because you won't make it.

The fact that there were protests against lockdowns with people wearing those red hats IN CANADA and the EU was a miracle that I thought I would never see in modern times.

I was initially thinking of choosing Programming as my skill set to invest in hopes that I'll find a long-term job, but seeing how blue collar jobs are increasing in demand, I'm starting to have second thoughts. My gut is telling me that most of the programming positions are already being taken, but I don't have enough evidence to suggest so.

However there's a problem I have with physical labor- I won't bore you with my life story but in short I have permanent weak muscles due to some weird accidents.

I doubt whatever I do in comp sci after a grueling degree would be much better. I think I just can't do anything. I take direction horribly which works against me in construction also. In comp sci I'd probably be constantly stressed and my nature would have me daydreaming every 2 seconds and getting jack shit done.
