I had a job for two days in february earlier this year and I think I permanently damaged my back while lifting a box, this sucks so much, I thought injuries were from repeated actions, didn't think just one mistake would destroy my body

I left my last job earlier this year because it led to a psychotic break, and now I'm running out of money. I even cashed out my 401k, which I still have to pay taxes on when taxes are due. Now, I can't even seem to find a job at all despite applying everywhere apart from burger mcjobs that would surely drive me to suicide. Why is everyone saying it's so easy to get a job now? Not even food service places will even give me an interview.
I applied to uni just for the hopes of getting student loans, but school doesn't start until June or July and you don't get your money until even later. How are you supposed to pay your course fees then!? or do anything???
I hadn't really intended on dying, but this situation has me considering it.

I'm pretty fucking angry man. All the shit about getting compensated for a vaxx injury is bullshit. They just refuse to diagnose you with anything and just let you fucking suffer. No sick note, no diagnosis beyond "general malaise". Nothing. A nurse told me after I pressured her that they were just covering the negative effects up, and after going what I went through, I believe it. As soon as they ruled out Pericarditis, they just basically biffed me out onto the street and didn't want to hear from me.

People feel so entitled to help that they try to make life hell for the company and me by proxy when refused. Do they seriously expect random people to care and fix the stupid "easy" issues that they have? I've been called names ranging from robot to evil to asshole to all sorts of vulgarities, simply for refusing to give them my time and attention, during work time, outside of the scope of said work.
To be fair, I frequently refuse such requests even outside of work as well.

Having to decipher incoherent word salad and try to deduce what the customer's problem with our service actually is, having to wrangle them to get them to do something simple to help fix their issue (a whole other can of worms, especially when people exclaim "It's urgent and very important!" and then refuse to do anything at all to help me help them), having them go off on how shit our service is and get offended when I interrupt them with "Please calm down and help me work on fixing the issue you're having, then.", all of those I accept as aspects of working to help people with issues.
However, when they go in with absolute certainty that they are entitled to my attention with anything they ask for, is when I draw the line of bullshit I am willing to put up with. They can't take "No" for an answer and their reaction is barely short of a fucking retarded childish sperg-out.

This happened enough times by now that I started wanting to look for a job that wouldn't require me to talk to customers at all, even if the pay is lower. I guess it's my own fault, getting a job doing something I'm actually qualified to do, that led to this in the first place.

Some people only need 4 hours of sleep. Depends how you feel. If you're hitting fewer REM cycles it makes you feel less real, more dissociated. I feel that way and I can't tell if it's because I might have minor hearing loss, or because of the lack of sleep, or because since I started waging I go to the same florescent-light prison every day.

Just got fired from my wageslave job. I have mixed feelings. On one hand I'm glad that I'll have some time off to NEET around my house, but on the other hand I don't know what I'm going to do once that NEET period is up. I barely have any work experience and have basically no money saved up.

If you have autism, there's nothing for you career wise in the normie world. Having a job and "making it" doesn't improve your life significantly, and the happiest autistics just work part time as a janitor or something by themselves or on NEETbux.

Even when an aspie "makes it" and becomes a techbro, he still lives the same as he did as a NEET. There's no real difference, the money doesn't make you neurotypical. There's fucking no point to any extra income, it doesn't make you happier.

There's something nefarious about working in tech and I can't work out what it is.

On paper it seems like the perfect industry. It's in demand, they make absurdly high wages and they have amazing job security. Yet every person that works that job over time becomes a reclusive shut in and a constant whiner. Maybe it's anecdotal, but it's happened to everyone I've known that's got one of those jobs, especially with men, it seems like a beeline to being a porn or video game addicted shut in loser that never does anything in life.

What is there about this job I'm not seeing? You don't get fired, you clearly spend half the day doing nothing. What's so stressful and bad? I actually avoided getting into CompSci myself because I was worried the same sort of disease that happened to people I know that got into it would happen to me.

>my mother is forcing me

why are wizzies so afraid of saying no to their parents? between taking experimental vaccines, going to weddings and taking up loans for expensive yet worthless degrees, how the fuck do you FORCE an adult man to do something he doesn't want to do?

at least i can understand that one wizzie that got a frickin nintendo switch for taking his booster shot. are you even getting paid for this gig? you could always just slack off or do some passive aggressive shit if you're too much of a wuss to confront your mother directly. maybe if she sees how useless you are in that environment, she'll tell you to go home lol

>>251596
>every person that works that job over time becomes a reclusive shut in and a constant whiner.

being a whiner is just part of the cope of being a wageslave (example: this thread), but i'm not sure what you're talking about with the first thing. all the people i work with are either family men or normalfags that go outside and do normalfag shit. maybe recently due to covid restrictions, people stay inside more, but your observations are not a general pattern i've found to be true.

a person that might be inclined towards having a reclusive shut-in personality is more likely to find the introverted, abstract work in computer science rewarding or at least tolerable. but not everyone that works in tech is recluse or becomes one, there's too many normalfags, overwhelmingly so.

I am conflicted about whether or not to be NEET. Being a NEET 22 years old who receives a Disability Pension (autism bux) in Australia living with my parents. THE boredom and loneliness(?) is constant. Some people boast about being a NEET. But I don't know if I can stand being like this for any longer.

Some people would say, but you must be a 'comfy' circumstance, enjoying the 18,000$ moneys you earn per year(800$ a f/n) not working. You have all the time to attend to your hobbies and interests. You have all oppurtunity to play. I envy you.

Though I don't think I can be like this. I think I need some employment. But some people dread employment apparently. Am I stuck in feeling dread?

I think if I would be doing menial tasks outside of a small enclosed space I would then be improving my circumstance. Where I would be commuting to and from. Being in a small enclosed space 24/7 is just sickening for me. Sometimes I seek to just wonder in some park for therapy but there is no park in walkable distance.

New Zealand wizzie here. They let us earn a certain amount on top of autism buxx here to keep, and after that amount ($160) they deduct it from the base benefit. I'm sure it's the same in Aussie.

You don't have to get a full time job. Just go to WINZ and say you want something part time and get a comfy nightshift thing that's like 4 hours a night 2-3 nights a week. They'll understand and help you get it. Just don't let them bully you into working more hours.

Depends on where you work I think. I worked in a warehouse for years and they would work the absolute piss out of you and try to squeeze what little life you had left afterwards. I think if you are in an environment that is really going to push you to meet certain quotas then it may become too stressful. If not, then it may be worth trying. Warehouses have an insane turnaround rate anyway.

tech is too broad of a term, hell even just 'IT' or 'Software dev' is too broad of a term. theres a distinct difference between the regular 'code shoveling' jobs, industry boomer filled 'software janitor' jobs and the fruity uptown startup tech ventures.

Just a friendly reminder to my fellow wagies, to never teach everything you know. I spent a month training some bitch to help me do my job. As a result I was moved to another department and they have her another suckubus to keep her company. Now when I go over there I am given the stink eye and today told I'm not helpful at all when I go over there. Well that's what I get for trying to mentor a coworker. They want me because I know how to program these machines and I will definitely not be helping them anymore if they do run into something. But they haven't needed me in months. That's fine I suppose.

I may as well not think about, I have to be jabbed by the 31st before being unemployed so I don't have an option. I'm fat and in poor health.

I always feel like I am on thin ice and one wrong move and my future is destroyed and I will live in poverty.

I don't know what to do.

I was thinking about quitting my job, getting a different place to live, moving to a new city and trying to land a similar job to what I have now.

I feel trapped. What if I end up with a job I hate? What if I end up in a place I hate to live?

The whole situation fills me up with anxiety. I feel like crying and I was before. It feels like there's a hole in my chest and it hurts.

This decision could determine if I kill myself or not. If I can bear to go on living. I don't know if I can make the leap. I don't know what to do.

You know that normie saying, "the grass is greener on the other side"? Here's the thing, you might end up doing all those things you said, quitting your job, moving somewhere else entirely, but still end up in the same position you are now after a while. Bored and unsatisfied with your life. I always think its better to make small changes first and see how it helps your situation, maybe instead of moving to a new city, move to a new neighborhood in your current city first and see how you handle the change. Get a different apartment. Instead of leaving your job, see if you can transfer to another department or try a different line of work if you're able to. Maybe change your routine and see how you feel. People like to think making drastic changes will suddenly improve their lives, but oftentimes they may just end up in the same position where they started. Figure out what's really bothering you about your current situation and go from there.

i work at a walmart as a cart pusher.
i came by to say that ive worked at 10+ different corporations and numerous positions, and i can safely say that cart pushing is the easiest and best for a wizard by far and i recommend you all try.

let me quell some fears you may have:
-you wont be speaking to anybody at all except for saying "thanks have a good day" to people throwing carts at you, which happens maybe 10 times a day. none of these people have ever engaged me in conversation.
-you will never ever see a manager. i dont even know my manager's name. they dont bother coming outside. it's like a self-run anarchist situation with the cart pushers. as long as you do your job (which means keeping at least 10 carts in the cart area, that's all) then a manager will never have any reason to come outside.
-the exercise strain is minimal. you walk about 12 miles a day but it's not even noticeable after 2 weeks. you don't have to run and you'll never have to use your hands because you have a tractor to push the carts for you. i havent pushed carts by hand since my first day on the job.
-they will never ever ask to promote you. cart pushers stay cart pushers forever. you wont be harassed to be crosstrained. (stay the fuck far away from the deli/produce/meat sections especially. all three of these departments are now considered one department, so you will have to be trained in all 3 at the same time. ive never heard of anything this fucked up before and im surprised people arent rioting about this. deli alone is the hardest department in the store, so i dont know why they thought it was a good idea to force 2 more departments onto their workload. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM DELI/PRODUCE/MEAT. if that's the only position they have open for you then just walk out.)
-bums will leave you alone because they know cart pushers are broke.
-you can use your phone and take breaks whenever the fuck you want. nobody is there to stop you and nobody will complain as long as there's carts in the cart bay. i have disappeared for 2 hours on a 4 hour shift and nobody even noticed because i had carts in the bay.
-you can choose your hours and if they give you a schedule you dislike then you can talk to them and they'll fix it immediately.
-you can wear whatever the fuck you want. Cart boys have zero dress code. You can show up to work with a mohawk, tattoos, and facial body mods and nobody will say anything. they directly said so during my interview.

some cons:
-if your walmart is in the ghetto then you need to buy a gun with your first paycheck. personally for me, i have already seen a car have its window broken and a bum jumped in and stole it and ive only been here for a month. bums sleep in electric wheelchairs and piss in jugs and throw them in bushes. bums scream and shout and beat the shit out of each other and pull scams on normalfags.
They've only ever directly talked to me maybe 3 times, but you never know with these people and i'd rather be safe than sorry. get a fucking gun ASAP if you're in a drug infested part of town. you can get a .380 ACP for under $200 and it'll get the job done. i personally bought a Glock 27.
-most walmarts only have 4 cart pushers on the schedule. Actually getting the job may be the hardest part of it all. the department will probably already be at max capacity and it wont even give you the option to apply.
Basically the only way to get fired from this job is to no call no show or walk out during a shift, so it's rare that someone is terminated. All of the guys in my department have been here 4+ years and have no plans to leave.
-the equipment is from ~1980 and it can be fucky sometimes. my tractor malfunctioned once and drove into a guy's car and smashed it so good that his back door was caved in 2 feet deep and scratched like wolverine claws. It was stressful and shitty but you can learn the problems and learn to avoid them. The managers didnt give a fuck that i did that at all and gave them a settlement and then told me im good to get back to work. It happens often.
-you will need to buy a Lot of clothes you normally wouldnt because the weather conditions are fucked. the soles of your shoes will melt in the summer, you'll have to hide your phone somewhere inside when it's raining because it will get soaked if you leave it in your pants and you'll probably get pneumonia, cart pushers lose consciousness from the heat in the summer all the time etc. Buy lots of cheap boots, buy a full rain coat, buy a hat with an attachment that covers your neck from the sun, buy sunglasses, etc. If you don't, you WILL be fucked and hard.
-im fat and the job makes me hungry all day long because of the walking
-your coworkers may talk to you when it's slow. results may vary. all they ever discuss with me is work related stuff and they mostly dont have time to really explore my psyche or share about themselves. i usually answer with "yes" and "no" to avoid autism meltdowns. it's been alright, but maybe you wont be so lucky. Most cart guys are special needs retards so they're pretty harmless. this is maybe something that should go into the pro section.
-if you dont have a visual imagination, you might be so bored that you'll want to kill yourself. Working with the tractor is so repetitive that it eventually becomes like a part of your body and the job then requires zero focus. it's akin to working in a factory. therefore i think it's necessary to have an imagination so you can play with your imaginary friends and karate chop people and stuff while you're doing soulless manual labor for hours.

I had pushed carts for sam's club, and it was somewhat a mirror of your experience. The difference is that the cart machine was ALWAYS broken, which I didn't really mind since I tend to favor athleticism so I found mushing an ungodly amount of carts a fairly fun feat of strength. We also never had enough shopping carts, so on busy days you would really have to bust some ass to keep up from getting yelled at. Maybe it's just the difference between the two institutions, but my managers were always on everyone like a hawk. I was able to fly under their radar because they thought I enjoyed working hard for them, but that's not how I viewed it.
Considering that people buy a lot of furniture and bulky groceries, people always wanted help loading things, and since most of the people that shop there are old, they would almost always tip.
But yes, do not move inside. It will absolutely not be a promotion. I only did because I was starting to tire of the heat of the summer, and wearing only long sleeves/pants to prevent sunburn just made things worse. Like you say, boots are a must as well. Otherwise you may end up with a broken toe or something, and they're good for the rainy season as well.

You know, you can always transfer within the company to a warehouse as well. I was dumb enough to do it for the pay and fewer worked days, but the walmart warehouse in particular that I transferred to was absolutely horrendous. Tons of pressure, and really political for a life dropout tier job. Maybe if you can find output statistics and determine if it's a low output distribution center, then maybe it would be worth it. But bear in mind they would rather hire bums off the street rather than inside of the company.
I no longer work there since I was very sick of the menial labor day in and out, abuse from managers, and the physical pains the work brought upon me. It was essentially impossible to get fired, I had not shown up in a month and when I returned I got a "Welcome back". I quit a couple weeks after.

That's the same in even the most developed Canada, but at least big chains like Wal-Mart have a motorized assist thing that offloads muscle work so they even get the eldery workers to push trains of 50+ carts across the parking lot. Being a simple "door greeter" as an elderly is just a legend now, a fairy tale from a better time. Such a job is reserved for the completely mentally retarded now. The companies put these drooling wheelchair'd downies inside the doors as a decoration to show how inclusive they are. 89 year-old Gary who got conned out of his pension because the company he worked for over 30 years didn't file the right paperwork… He has to push carts, restock shelves, tell every bumbling ididoth where every item in the store is, and wipe toilets, and he'll be doing it until he dies.

im now feeling the effects of this as the day after New Year's they transferred me to loss prevention without even asking me. they did the transfer while i wasnt even at work.

i walked out. i might show up tomorrow and explain to them i have schizophrenia and that i can't have a face to face customer service job, especially one where verbal and physical confrontations are expected, and see if they'll let me stay on carts.

I dunno about how it is now, but my first job over 2 decades ago was as a 'courtesy clerk' at a grocery store. It was the entry-level job where you basically did all the bitch tasks at the grocery store that no one else wanted to do. Bagging, cart pushing, cleaning, and restocking the shit that people left at the cash register was pretty much all I did. I would often just fuck around outside for half of my shift so I didn't have to interact with customers, though.

I started as L2 support and moved to different projects when a chance presented itself. There was a lot of luck involved for me to end up where I am now, since most of the time you don't really know how good a project is at first glance.
From my observation I can safely say that most L2 support wagies tend to move to a better place within 3-4 years. If you can't find an L2 position with no experience you can work for like a year in L1 to get something worth putting on your CV, but be prepared to hate it (tedious, schematic, lots of human contact).

Just fucked off to sit in the bathroom at one point..I don't give a fuck about anything I do but I also hate when I ruin things it puts me into a borderline autistic rage. Cope like "everyone makes mistakes" doesn't help either.

dishwashing is one of the most physically painful jobs you can have. actually you should avoid the food industry in its entirety, it's torture and pain and that's why normalfags love it so much. they like to make their jobs their entire life and suck away what little freedom and thought they have.

This. As a former ex-NEET myself I can tell you that coming out of longterm neetdom and immediately getting some job where you're forced to be around loud normies all day will be mental torture for you. Avoid these jobs at all costs, however you can. Restaurant jobs in general sound terrible, even the normie wageslaves are constantly complaining about the nature of the work.

>>253291
Do not work in the food industry whatever you do, instead I recommend that you try to look for some kind of security job instead. I can vouch from my experience that security is one of the best kept secrets for wizzies and recovering ex-NEETs. Normies view it with disdain, but it's actually been one of the best jobs I ever had. For starters, it is ridiculously easy to get a security job, at least speaking for USA, since most people do not want to work at it, often due to the odd hours (evenings/late-nights,etc). And just by looking presentable, clean-cut, being able to pass a drug-test if needed and willing to show up when needed, you'll drastically stand out from the applicant crowd in the security field. A lot of times to get a simple unarmed security gig, you just need to be able to pass a simple exam at some training school to receive a security license from your state. After that, you're free to look for jobs until you find out that works for you. You can easily find some evening/late-night security job even just by calling the employers and asking around.

Security is often a very solitary job, where you'll just be working by yourself at some location. If you're lucky, it'll often be guarding some building/warehouse/industrial area after-hours, and you'll usually have some kind of security shack to chill in between doing your patrols. And especially working late hours or nights, you'll often be sitting there by yourself with absolutely nothing to do. And employers usually don't care if you look through phone or read books or whatever, as the only thing they care about is having a physical body on site for insurance purposes. So as such, they'll often allow you to bring your phone, laptop, etc. I used to work at a job where all I did was watch anime & movies on my netbook & browsed the internet and only left my post to do some occasional patrols around my area. For a recovering ex-NEET, it was really the perfect solitary job.

Can confirm that working as a security guard is great. I only quit because my parents managed to convince me to try getting a university degree (this turned out to be a huge mistake).

One thing to watch out for though is sometimes they'll put you on a post where you essentially have to act as a front-desk secretary. If this happens you need to be willing to just ask for a different position. You're not expected to just stick with a shitty post if you don't like it. The best posts are locations like data storage centers or parking garages.

>security
Always seemed like a good fit due to the odd hours, but what if you're really short/weak/small-framed? It's hard to think you'd be considered for a security position unless you seemed physically imposing in some way. At least, that's why I never considered it.

Am I getting hearing loss? I've been working at my factory job for 2 years now, there are a lot of vacuum type machines with hissing air. There are earplugs but no one wears them, when I started there literally NOBODY did so my dumb ass thought not to either. A year ago my supervisor was impressed I could hear her talking about me 30 feet away in all that noise. Today I can hardly a hear a quiet conversation 15 feet away with all that noise. If I am in a very silent area I have noticeable tinnitus but it's fairly mild. I've also been sleeping 5 hours a night for most of the last year and 6 hours a night the year before. So I downloaded a decibel meter app and walked around with my phone sticking out of my pocket. The peak noise I could get hovers around 71dB. How fucked am I for being exposed to this for so long? Is there anything I can do to fix this? I started wearing earplugs but stopped now that I work in a less noisy area. No one ever gave me a warning about the fucking sound. God I hate myself for being so stupid as to work here.

 No.253651

You can’t heal hearing once it’s damaged. Yes you probably damaged your ears a bit by being in that noise level. The best you can do is try and get some compensation by your employer, though if they provided ear plugs and everyone was just too stupid to use them then I don’t think you’ll get anything.

it was similar in a place I was briefly, honestly it's pretty fucked up you have to outright go against the group to have basic safety like ear protection, you feel like the odd one out wasting time, making it harder to talk because you can't hear as well with them on. But still they will say it's your fault simply because they were "available" even if nothing about the environment encourages them.

No I gotta say his workplace was just filled with cretins. I work on a ship, and every engineer wears his hearing protection when in the engine room, and everyone who goes into an engine space wears it too. That wiz bears responsibility for not using it. If they provided hearing protection I’m willing to bet there was a sign posted warning about high noise levels. Yes, his coworkers are at fault too for practicing unsafe work, but he had every opportunity to just put some ear plugs in. The company is still at fault for allowing unsafe work to happen, it is ultimately their responsibility to make sure the work environment is safe.

Good luck wizzie. Fast food is not the worst job you could end up doing, but it is what you make out of it. Just stick to your business, don't get involved in any stupid normalfag workplace drama and collect your paycheck. Even with crappy wageslave jobs you can still end up saving a decent amount of money, especially if you don't have much in terms of living expenses. And have an exit plan in mind, for whether that's going back to education or getting a better job eventually.

Why the fuck do companies choose to constantly replace people instead of paying them more to stay? I just quit my first job out of college which was originally an IT internship. After two years I ended up automating 90% of my work and also much of my boss's and revamped like half of their website. Despite this they only gave me a 2% raise the whole time. I got comfortable enough that I could cover when my boss went on 2 week vacations. Yet they still refused to pay me more and told me 6 months ago they expected me to leave for some place better, since everyone in my position does so after 1-2 years.

I finally accepted a job that pays nearly twice as much. Now I'm doing on-boarding and learning shit all over again, which almost makes me want to go back. But they already hired some chump to replace me, who doesn't even know how to program. By the time he figures out all the stuff I was managing, he'll surely leave too.

It's a hotel front desk job. When I first started it seemed like a dream come true, many days there was 0 customer interactions and I got to just spend the whole time alone, other than answering a few phone calls. The rest of the shift was just filling out paper work etc.

That's still mostly true, aside from some days that are extremely busy, most days I only have to deal with a handful of customers, which is the best you can hope for with any customer service job.

But I still feel complete loathing about the job now. A lot of it is succubi coworker which having to deal with feels incredibly draining.

When I first started we were sparsely staffed, which meant I had spent most shifts in blissful solitude. But now there's more staff so there's (almost) always 2 people per shift, so I'm in a small space with a succubi for 8 hours.

In general it could be worse. This job pays more than anything else I ever had but also feels emasculating and soul killing.

I start to think it's the sedentary nature of the job which makes me feel despair. That and the fact that the entire job is about socializing with strangers or coworkers.

I think I would maybe be happier doing something more physical and also more isolated, but maybe it's just a case of the grass being greener on the other side.

You don't need to be handsome, no. I'm pretty ugly. I guess it varies wildly on the location/company, but I dont have a degree or anything, and I'm sure many places will hire you without one. The most important skill is being able to socialize and communicate effectively, so basically just customer service skills.

Why is it such a monumental task to find a tech job? I'm mainly referring to the US job market.
It used to be super easy to get hired with a compsci degree. You didn't even have to do anything, just be enrolled in any accredited institution and your inbox would be flooded with job offers even before you graduated. Now you have to jump through so many hoops to be considered for the lowest-paying code monkey role.
Let me go into further detail:
>grinding leetcode is now a requirement
>need to have teamwork skills
>have to go through multiple rounds of interviews
>must be "passionate" about coding whereas before you only needed to know how to use google search

It's called oversaturation. The job market is like the investment market in that by the time the lay investor arrives, it's already over. Every second person is getting retrained in tech because they know of one guy getting close to six figures for doing nothing for half of the day, they are like "fuck this" and retrain. So many have retrained that companies now can be picky. The exact same happened to law, low level lawyers are making the same money as electricans and scaffolders, and there's not much path for advancement for a lot of them.

There were a number of new guys besides me thankfully. Actually everyone I worked with was pretty much a new guy, the oldest one has only been there for two and a half months.

If literally anyone else is around people will ignore me and engage my other coworkers instead, when anyone has to talk to me they have this clear aura of uncomfort and disgust, like they practically run/speedwalk out of the room afterwards, as if they just endured some nightmarish horror.

That can work but is on the hard end and you need at least 3 years to be decent at it.

If you want to do remote work and get payed the same or more doing something on the easier side go for React, a javascript framework for front end development (4-6k a month if you have 4 or more years of exp or can lie good enough and pass the interview or around 2-3k if you have less experience and it will be harder to get).

Look at courses on React, NodeJS, Express & MongoDB - The MERN Fullstack in places like Youtube or Udemy. (a stack is a group of technologies that work together to make an app). If you don't want to waste any time focus only in react, but it helps to see how it all works together and you qualify as "full stack developer" if you know all of that shit.

If you insist on Java, go straight for the Spring framework. That's the good shit. Start with Spring boot and Spring REST and move from there. Do a short course on the basic java first were you print crap on the console but don't waste to much time on it. You can study the certification materials to pass the interviews (the only thing it is good for) and you will lean that there, but it's not of much use for day to day coding on a real web project for a remote job.

Also practice on leetcode or hackerrank to pass the shitty interviews.

Good luck.

I once Googled a new graduate’s name before interviewing him, and found a paper that he had published — only the abstract was available to me unless I was willing to pay to download the paper. My intent was to ask him technical details about the subject of the paper — it was actually on a subject relevant to what we were interviewing him for.

In the interview, he basically didn’t want to talk about the paper; he made some comment about how the paper was a while ago and he didn’t remember all of the details. I found that a little bit strange — if I published a paper, I’d certainly remember enough about it to discuss in an interview. In fact, given the choice of talking about my own paper, or almost any other subject in the world, I’d choose to talk about my own work, in as much detail as the interviewer wanted.

After the interview, I dug a little deeper, and found that the paper appeared to be plagiarized from an earlier paper that was found on the web. The abstract of the candidate’s paper was basically a rewritten version of the abstract of the original paper which came out about a year earlier. It was close enough that it was obviously not a coincidence; he had changed the order of some of the sentences and made minor changes to word order and vocabulary, but it was clearly not an original abstract.

Anyway, I was the only person at my company to catch this. The company may have done some background checks, and may have Googled the employee’s name, but they didn’t catch the likely plagiarism. I informed HR of what I found and we didn’t offer the candidate a job. I’m not sure what HR did with the information. I can hope that it was added to his file so that if he ever applies again in the future, it will be noticed.

So at least in that case, I may have saved us from hiring a problem candidate.

I saw a job online yesterday which interested me and required no experience so I spent all day creating a cv and then applied. It was unexpected and completely spontaneous. I haven't had a real job in 15 years. I felt somewhat positive and felt good for trying to push myself back into the real world.

Then I awoke at 1am this morning after some awful anxiety dream with my heart pounding and mind racing with terrified thoughts. What the fuck have I done? I'm already panicking about potential phonecalls, interviews and the day to day inconvenience and pain of being a wageslave again. I don't think the job would even be that bad but I'm so institutionalised to being at home and having all the time in the world (even though I completely waste it) that the idea of working again now and having my freedom taken from me is hideous.

This is why it's probably better to suffer wageslavery rather than drop out for extended periods. The adjustment is brutal. I hope I don't get the job now but at the same time, I seriously need the money and my damn conscience is pushing me.

My health is deteriorating. I have massive eye bags,constantly glassy eyes and move in slow motion. I must seem like a retard the way I talk compared to a year ago. Words don't come as easily as they used to when I speak. I'm an anxious wreck, I can't stay still and will just pace around when there is nothing to do at work. My coworkers have picked up on it obviously. I've been given extra breaks and had coworkers make comments like 'are you sure you alright to stay at x station for much longer?'. I've admitted nothing or nor mentioned anything.

When I was driving back from dropping something off at another depot's crew three hours away my boss called me to ask me If I was alright and to call him when I got back to our depot(empty by the time I got there). Someone must of told him I looked like shit and they were worried about me driving so far back. Which is strange because management usually has a complete indifference to fatigue in that kind of situation.

This is all strange to me. I thought I would have been fired ending up so useless and slow. Been to see Drs and to ED a few times the last six months.

I made the same mistake, first at a megacorp and then at a startup that I moved to thinking it might care more about results since it can’t afford not to. As soon as I realized it was going to be the same shit with the same fucked interpersonal dynamics I just ragequit and became a NEET out of principle.

Working from home is the answer fellow Wizzies. I managed to get respect from about half of the people at work by teaching them and helping them a lot, but that made the other half even more mad at me.

My boss asked point blank at one of the guys why was he treating me like shit, and his answer was "jealousy, I guess". Normal people are fucking garbage. Because of the daily harassment everywhere including the street and the soul crushing monotony of wage-slaving I ended up with massive depression, went NEET and took me 3 years to do anything else beyond playing video games all day, watching Youtube and reading books.

Minimizing contact with the world is the only thing that works well for me. Remote work is ideal, if you can't get some NEETbuxs.

how well people treat you at work has nothing to do with the job. most normgroids just care about superficial attributes and what you as a person can afford them i.e. attention, social points, entertainment or literally doing their work for them. wizardly types superficially are usually not very attractive and unless you're making them look good or cracking epic jokes on lunch breaks, no one cares about your script and how brilliant of a coder you are. they'll even use it against you, if they see you're the kind of person that works hard. they will look for ways to dump their responsibilities on you, either explicitly because you can't say "no" or passively the way people do in school group projects where the one kid that cares about his grade does all the work.

if you can get away with it, this is the best approach. you will never ever get promoted or treated favorably. your normalfag co-workers will always be preferable to you, no matter how hard you work or the how superior the quality of your work is. i don't know what it is, but if people see you as a wizardly type, anything you do is basically spoiled by that image. you'd have to invent the cure for cancer and save their life to get one ounce of sympathy from them, "guess he's not so bad after all" lol.

With my luck I'm sure I wouldn't be vaporized instantly but instead would die from radiation poisoning so my body melts like that one japanese dude.

Work carpark gave me a parking ticket again.. I registered my car/number plate over 5 times, yet I've had over 5 parking ticking (120 mins max for customers) and they still won't resolve the issue/pay for my fines. I've looked at seeing a lawyer but unless he can solve this in 1.5 hours I'm only breaking even. Management/store owner don't seem to care. I'm going to steal 10x the amount of products I've recieved as tickets, take all my holidays and then just never show up again. I'm also going to give homeless people the passcode to the door and tell them when it's best to break in. I fucking hate this place

you're so used to wagefucking that you are no longer a real person. I am worried about this. I used to have hobbies, I felt like doing things, I had a LIFE, even as a part-time wagie. Now I am just a void, I still do some hobby stuff but my spark of life is gone. It's hard to explain and school didn't do this to me.

What do you from home? I feel like WFH wizzes should post their job when they bring it up, help other wizzes know what their options are.

Never again, lesson learned.

I'm a pensions administrator. Basically office monkey work. No qualifications needed but the pay is barely above minimum. Before the coof I had to go into the office and it was pretty awful. Usual open floor plan stuff, menial work and constant chatter in a soul-sucking environment. Then with the coof they gave everyone a laptop and shifted us off home. Best fucking thing to ever happen to me and I'm eternally happy about the virus. For the first year I had total freedom. Did my work, had the stats to back it up and my manager was happy. It was especially nice that I could burn through it all in 3-4 hours and just play games for the rest of my shift. Now though they're tightening up on all of this since it's been a couple years and they're going full 1984 surveillance on everyone. A new work system that times everything you do, my manager checking up constantly with meetings. It's not that bad. Far better than going into the office though it does mean I'm basically having to spread my work out over the day so I'm essentially working my full shift. The golden age of WFH is over alas. I'd still take this over anything else though.

The brakes failed because he didn't operate the vehicle properly. He should have been using the engine brake in such mountainous terrain. He also deliberately chose to crash into people because he thought it would increase his chances of survival.

The problem here is letting literal illiterate retards operate semi trucks.
