Retail workers are not allowed to sit at all. The job is such a paradox anyways. We have to clean the entire station in 30 minutes. Skip things, but also do everything on the list. Other people will also be upkeeping the store, but a lot of things need to be done. Do everything well, but do it very fast. Overall, pretty exploitative job.

You'll probably want an intelligence reduction procedure done before starting the job, since an average Janitor's IQ is 87. Multiple techniques for reducing IQ include :
Concussions.
Benzodiazepine or alcohol abuse.
A lobotomy.
Radiation or chemotherapy.

Discuss reducing your IQ with a doctor today,not tomorrow, RIGHT NOW. It's dangerous having an IQ too high for a job, and surgical techniques can help. Ask for a transorbital lobotomy, what doctor Walter Freeman performed on Howard Dully in 1960, curing his schizophrenia. Modern medicine is in denial about the Lobotomy's benefits… Don't hesitate to correct denialist doctors.

If you do become a janitor, make sure you get the comfy 4pm to 12pm shift, right when all the office workers go home. That's the golden shift and you can just read books half the time.

I absolutely loved the work, the only problem was that because it's such a low status job, normalfaggots feel entitled to start henpecking you. If you're on the day shift going into office buildings and businesses, people will try to humiliate you. succubi will make snide comments, you will be treated like a loser.

Speaking of janitor work

In 2021 I worked for like two weeks at a janny company doing night shift. Except because they paired me up with somebody, and that other person was driving, they selectively took me off being paid driving between sites because I was "not working". I'd work eight hours and only get paid 5. I hit them up about it furious, and they just said "well we don't get paid for you traveling between sites either".

Of course I quit within two weeks, because what sort of cuck works for no pay, but this just seems highly illegal. I looked into the law and yeah, I'm right, if it's part of your normal routine at work you can't be taken off the books. I know an older lady close to my family that works there and she still passively takes it because she's in a vulnerable position in life.

I'm seriously considering taking the job back, it's advertised again (no surprise). I'll make myself out to be passive, then them hard with a letter from the lawyers detailing the illegality of it, hold a meeting where they have no choice but to reverse the policy, and then all at once getting everyone else to submit the same letter to reverse the policy for them as well. I won't cancel my NEETbux, I'll put it on hold, and just stay the course. Even if I'm fired, I'll likely have saved 4-5 people from being ripped off $200+ a week.

Have any of you ever dealt with toxic/scheming coworkers?

I've worked with many teams and people pleasantly but a recent job I was forced to quit had me deal with a group of utter scumbags.

>Have any of you ever dealt with toxic/scheming coworkers?
Yes, for many years, different places.

Best strategy to deal with these scumbags is to interact with them as less as possible, do not give importance to or highlight their work either (unless you're pointing out a mistake, something negative, etc). Make them trust you and like you too, this gives you a gigantic advantage over their psyche.

Avoid engaging scumbags that have an upper hand. Spot scumbags that are hated by other colleagues. Make scumbags trust you, once they trust you you can try sabotaging their shit when they're being cretins.

I got tons of tips but they won't help much unless you have some machiavellism in your head.

I purposefully lie about all details about my personal life at work. I don't lie on the job application itself, I keep that legal. It's more just when I've started work and co-workers and employers are probing about my life.

I'll say I worked as a security guard, postman, truck driver or whatever other menial job. I'll lie about what my parents do. People hit me up about my lies and I won't even get defensive, I'll just say "I've done a lot of things in my life". I lie about where I live, what school I went to. I lie about what I do on the weekends. I lie about my relatives jobs too.

There is little truthful I'll say at work about my personal life. The only truthful things are the video games I play, and the movies I watch.

It's not even that I'm trying to gain something, or that I'm after attention. I'm just always weirded out about how cunts want to know all the details about my life wherever I go. I just muddy the waters and say obscure but believable bullshit I can to throw them off.

Lying is also common for socially active normies who also lie on things but often with a different motivation behind it.

The people who ask all these personal questions are indeed gossipy cunts, they only want to compare themselves to you or they gather intel for gossip.

Not unless you have to. The work itself is alright (it will get unbearably boring at some point depending on your tolerance for drudgery, for me 5-6 months is my absolute limit) but everyone will be a cunt to you because there's no social repercussion for it which is a pain if you don't know how to stand up for yourself, and you'll be forced to work with retards and immigrants who don't speak a word of your language. Maybe it depends on the place.

I've been trying to figure out what is a "skilled" equivalent of janitorial work, so that I'd be doing more-or-less the same thing just with some barrier to entry to avoid having to deal with the aforementioned retards and immigrants who don't speak a word of my language.

Industrial cleaning or hazardous cleaning. Basically get security clearances and qualifications in dangerous goods, and start contracting yourself out to clean up crime scenes and disasters.

There's a company I worked for that did that, and they advertised themselves as being the ones to clean up the most horrific shit there is. I spent my time washing blood out of prison cells, emptying meat from deep freezers that had no power for months. Co-workers cleaned up suicides, if I stayed around I would've been involved with that.

Another one is buying the heavy machinery for deep cleaning, like a motorized $50,000+ carpet cleaning machine that absolutely hits it hard with pressured steam and water.

Seriously considering going for it honestly. Four on Four off averages out to be a little more than the typical five day workweek, plus the food allowance and not having to use my car means that I'll be saving a shitload. Realistically $120 USD a week will cover my full grocery bill.

Given the fact that they're already being as tight-fisted as possible, there is basically a 0% chance that we will be paid any extra for this nonsense. Plus they will likely still nag us about monthly budgetary goals like they do on a near-daily basis. That's not even the worst part, however. The real icing on the cake to all of this is that by the end of this year our entire department is moving clear across the building, rendering this current move completely and utterly pointless.

Yeah pretty much. Get used to not even hearing back, let alone being rejected from most applications. It's one of those gay things that gets easier once you get used to it and it becomes routine.

Ideally eventually for reasons beyond the known you get an in somewhere or meet somebody who gets you an in, and then somehow it develops into something. Otherwise, you just get better at bantzing about shit jobs with other people stuck in shit jobs, and that's its own form of eventually finding your way around.

My first "real" job after getting a CS degree was in QA because they make all the new recruits start there. It's bottom rung work, but it's a way to get noobs familiar with what they'll be working on, how the place works, and watch to see who's good at what. I'd been working in software development at least as a summer/weekends job for 8 years by that point, but corporate rules are corporate rules, so they just shuffled me off to work right under a bigwig manager so I could be fast tracked.

Fir non-nepotism software job required knowledge of FORTRAN, so I probably didn't have a lot of competition for an entry-level position there. But hey the pay was alright for what it was, they thought I was awesome, and that was quality resume filler. Also the only response that summer to dozens of applications. So you never know. Higher level help desk positions can be a good in for a variety of IT or management or specializations depending on what kind of a place it is.

How do regular coding jobs work? I have been working for a couple of years with this person, and unless I tell them I need work they don't tell me to do anything, I often spend entire days waiting for him to give me a task because I can't bring myself to ask him. It's not what I imagined, I thought I'd have a boss and he'd be sending me more work than I could handle. I know it sounds good but I get really anxious thinking he may be expecting me to message him, there's also the problem that I get paid per hour worked, so of course I don't get paid if I don't work, and lying it out of the question.

Just as most people are born with an innate predisposition to certain marketable activities, STEM fields are no exception. There may be engineers who don't like it, but stay with it for the money, and there are definitely some low level wagies that genuinely like their jobs.
It's all subjective, and I think the real lottery grand prize winners are the ones who simply enjoy being, since they can do most anything and be fine with it.
It really sucks when the thing you like has no market demand though, which is probably an impetus for people with such interests to adopt a more favorable perspective on centrally planned economies, which could theoretically sustain their desired career.

How important/relevant is programming for a CS degree?

 No.275519

>>275504
Depends on the school and cirriculum. I went to a well-known research university and was surprised at how many of my cohort struggled with programming. The grad students were usually better at it, but there you have people nestled way out in theory so it's kind of a nice treat to find ones who are also highly capable programmers beyond the sort of like one-off class project or some kind of prototype or proof of concept for a paper or thesis that doesn't need to live the same kind of a lifecycle as real world software.

Maybe that doesn't really answer your question. But if you can hold your own on the programming end then that's a huge leg up on just getting the work done instead of banging your head on shitty code every time there's an assignment or something. Still, lots of people treat school as a the big networking opportunity that it is and the degree winds up more like proof that you have the discipline to earn one and picked up some reasonable level of exposure to skills relevant to the industry. If you're lucky there'll be someone like me who gets things done early and doesn't complain too much about helping out other people when deadlines come crashing in.

If there's an important project or task at work, you might not get reprimanded for leaving at 5 but the guy that stays behind and works harder is more likely to be noticed.

This kind of shit is especially common in Japan and they have this work culture of always going the extra mile, not just for the sake of self-interest, but like some kind of duty to their superiors.

Automatically if you're being given more tasks then it would imply that you'd be some sort of competent person that can take responsibilities, so that in itself at least in theory should be something positive. But then there are people that do their work and then some, that apparently do not really ever get any better positions and it can end up with people expecting more of you just because you have shown to actually do it. Is it even a good idea to try and take as many tasks as possible and go beyond what you're actually supposed to be doing? Do you need to trust the people you're working with for it to make sense so you can actually benefit from it instead of just being a pushover?

If life was perfect, I'd work as a translator, as I should, since I have a degree in that. I like translating and wouldn't mind doing that for living, but I just don't know how to start. My university peers, mostly, succubi, are being settled in life by rich daddies who help open up their own learning centers, English schools, translation companies and shit, while I have no connections and no rich parents to give me a head start.
Decided I will call all the translation agencies in my crapville, ask if they are hiring right now, but that is unlikely to bring any results. I have already sent a cv to one translation agency but haven't heard from them so far.
If not, I will try tutoring, thats better than nothing, but not much, won't even pay for basic food.

Imagine everyone and everything slowly taking everything away from you one by one.

You used to work a fairly important job with well pay, maybe, but that was in the past. They won't let you back in to work anymore. Besides, your body can't take it anymore, anyways.
You try to be useful for others, but instead they tell you, "Don't worry, grandpa, I got it. Go sit down." And as you look at them, you see this pained smile that says, _JFC, they used to be able to at least do THAT._
You speak, but you can't speak, for no one cares for your old opinions anymore. "Fuck off, boomer."
You used to provide for others, but instead there's a check given to you.
You used to help others, but now whenever you do, you either physically can't, or others just want you to get the fuck out of their way. There's a sense of ANNOYANCE at you even trying.
You try to watch something, but the only thing you ever got into were Westerns, and they haven't made a good old Western like the ones you remember for at least 70 years now. Nobody even makes the entertainment you care about anymore.
You can watch reruns, like all of your other dwindling, remaining friends. But you can only watch the same episode of Bonanza so many times…
So, out of complete and utter boredom/depression due to uselessness/etc. you look for a job. You still have a lot of experience, maybe you can–
Rejected.
rejected.
rejected.
rejected
reje–
You start to realize what all the young people are complaining about nowadays.
After hundreds of rejections, you get desperate. Are you really that useless? Does NOBODY need you at all?! In a fit of desperation, you apply for the nearest retail job, because you're just wondering at this point if your applications even get through, if you even exist–
The application was accepted.
You shrug, you start working at some bullshit retail job, and something happens that hasn't happened in at least 20 years. Someone actually NEEDS you again. It feels good. It lifts your spirits. All the sense of uselessness washes away like rain.

And I think that's why old people in retail take their jobs so seriously.

I'm a warehouse worker. In my stupidity, I've made a habit of helping people wherever I can, so now my coworkers rely on, and even take advantage of, my help for even the simplest tasks. Although it's annoying, I'm at least told that I'm 'good at my job' and thus my manager rarely hassles me about anything. Recently, I got moved to a different station in my room. My new spot is more 'out in the open' meaning I can get bothered by even more little tasks and questions, all the while getting distracted from my work, making mistakes, and getting blamed as a result. This is frustrating enough, but there's more.

As it turns out my manager thought I was talking too much to the coworker next to me, so she moved me. Rather than simply saying something to me directly and allowing me the opportunity to correct my behavior, she just moves me to a more centralized spot, like I'm a child in a classroom. At the very same time the coworker who swapped spots with me is talking as much or more than I did, and getting less work done. I don't even blame my coworker, as she is 60 years old and approaching retirement, so her working at a pace is fine by me. What bothers me is my manager's tendency to pussy-foot around an issue when it would have been more sensible and simple to just approach me and say something. I know I shouldn't be surprised by this kind of behavior from a succubus, but I'm still annoyed.

100% correct. I try to work hard enough so that my boss(es) don't hassle me, but I have the annoying habit of over-doing it. I'm now at a point with my current job where people keep asking me for help (sometimes to the point of actually having me do their job for them) or piling more work on me. I end each day exhausted, frustrated, and desperately wishing I had a way out of all this.

>>275811
>I wonder if this trend will continue.
You mean the black passengers not tipping? That's not a trend, that's their default behavior. Many of them are so proudly selfish that they will admit to stealing from others (even family) without remorse, so why would they ever bother tipping anyone? Solipsism is practically a key component of their genetic makeup.

There's normally not much more to it than "better performing wagies get more money."

When my sibling worked at a waitering job, his set wage was about half of mine, yet he made about 1.5x as much as I did in total from tips. Of course then he went on and pissed his money away on stupid trash that he'd forget about within a year, lease a brand new car that ate half of his paycheck, and generally make me furious about having to share the same lineage, much less species with him.

It's not about morals, it's about creating a monetary incentive for good service, that some incidentally can't afford by reason of them refusing to tip.
The rational course of action for an employee working for tips is to avoid working in areas where people who don't tip (generally niggers, but that's neither here nor there) live. This would ensure that areas with more "good people" (tippers) have a greater supply and quality of service.

I would guess for the average person, most of the time, it isnt some merit system. they get average service and pay the expected rate. most dont go crazy generous for great service. and the service has to be exceptionally bad to not tip. and sometimes waiters get punished for stuff they dont control.

so i would say the majority of the time tips arent used as a merit system, but just a hidden part of the bill, that is societally expected but not mandatory.

A tip used to be a fairly simple exchange. A worker (typically a waiter, bartender, bellhop, or anyone who directly deals in personal service) gives extra effort in their duty to the customer, so the customer in turn gives extra compensation on top of the standard fee(s). The reason tipping has become so retarded in the modern day is because it is no longer something earned, but rather something expected. For example, my mother decided to order food online and go pick it up from the restaurant, no waiters or delivery drivers involved. At the end of placing her order online, she was prompted to tip. My mom audibly pondered the obvious question in this scenario: "tip for what?" There is nothing to tip for in this case, no extra effort to be made. The cooks are required to uphold the same consistent standard in their dishes, there's no 'extra' anything that they could add that would warrant a tip, but tips are simply expected now.

What's arguably more absurd is that some businesses will use tips as an excuse to pay their employees below minimum wage, claiming that they're expected to make up the rest with their tips, including staff who don't typically receive tips, like cooks and dishwashers. Even the tips in my previous anecdote would not likely go to the restaurant staff, even if my mom did tip in that case. So basically, tipping is just another well-intentioned gesture that has been corrupted by modern corporations to be used as a tool for greed and borderline-slavery.

 No.276156

That is mostly true, and having worked counter-side customer service before, I can attest to a particularly horrible anectode relating to this; in that cashiers were not 'allowed' to be tipped per store policy.
In the first several months of working at my first job, being a cashier, I would go above and beyond to present a friendly demeanor to everyone I met. Inevitably, there were a few folks who found it suitable to send a couple bucks my way. Unfortunately, any tips one received for any reason were to be put in the register for the store to claim. Then when the till was counted at the end of the day, if one was over their accounted cash total, they would even be reprimanded for the discrepancy.
At some point I stopped giving a crap and accepted the tips right into my pockets, no matter how many loss prevention security cameras were pointed at me, shortly before quitting.
This was at Dollar Tree, and it is no surprise that their average turnover period is <2 months. I personally hope they go bankcrupt.

>>276137
>most dont go crazy generous for great service
I contend with that notion from my experience of going out to lunch with others throughout my life. If a waiter was attentive or noticeably exerting effort, everyone else, especially older folk, would talk amongst themselves when the bill came, saying "yeah, we ought to tip him well," meaning they'd spring more than 20%.

>so i would say the majority of the time tips arent used as a merit system, but just a hidden part of the bill, that is societally expected but not mandatory.

The question would then be to determine if this is a preferable situation, as opposed to an explicit part of the bill that is mandatory.

I finally experienced what it's like to do factory work, I started this week. I'm working nightclean at a meat processing plant, basically sterilizing all the equipment for the next day.

While I do appreciate how everyone else is basically a zombie and nobody even bothers talking to each other (literally everyone sits at a different table for lunch except the foreigners), and how 80% of the staff are cambodian, tongans and indians that don't speak english. Meaning it's the perfect job for wizzies.

The work is hard though, really hard. I was finishing each day with leg pain due to having to wear gumboots on hard concrete all day. I can see how this sort of work will fuck you after a few years of doing it. If I was stuck doing this work for life I think I'd have to fucking rope, for now it's okay.

What I don't get is why people on here feel apprehension about quitting these sorts of jobs. It's shit work with a high turnover that most people only do to get somewhere else, you're not letting anybody down.

After 7 years of being a NEET, I got my first job. It's behind a counter at a cafe at a tourist attraction. I work with people mostly younger than me. Like most people in the service industry they're all turbo normalfags; all I hear them talk about is what party or music festival they're going to next. Worst of all most of my co-workers are succubi. I also have to interact with tourists all day.
The days are long as well, from 9 till 6 plus an hour long commute (total). I wake up a little past 7 and get home around that time as well, but luckily I only work 3 days a week -either way it's a far cry from having absolute freedom as a NEET.
All in all, it's very contrary to my personality and previous lifestyle, so it's very taxing. It's very much a shock to the system to go from being an isolated NEET to service industry wagie.

The job is seasonal and my contract ends in 3 months, technically I could do another 3 months on top of that before the place closes down for the season in November but I don't think I'll last that long (but then again, I might not have a choice).
I've heard that the dishwasher just quit right before my arrival, and I'm wondering if I could pivot into replacing him. This shit behind the counter really isn't for me, I'd much rather be down in the kitchen where there's nobody else except one guy putting pastries in the oven.

The biggest thing that's giving me any solace whatsoever is that this is only temporary, 3 months and I'm out (6 worst case scenario, if it somehow comes to that -which it might depending on my life's circumstances, which is why I got this job in the first place).
But then what? Start waging at some other place, but this time for the foreseeable future? I don't have that in me, but I don't think I can continue being a NEET after this either.

My environment thinks it's very commendable that I've finally gotten a job, but the way I see it not much has really changed. I still have that NEET spirit in me all the same and after this little experience is over and I don't know if anything will have changed, but I guess we'll see in a couple of months.

I grew up under a parent that would constantly drug us as kids and make us out to be sickly. So naturally I grew up with a distaste and dislike of the medical establishment. So when Covid came along, I had an absolute schizo tier meltdown when I was forced to take the vaccine for work. A public spectacle of me hysterically thinking I was going to die.

Over two years later, and the lady that at the time that was employing me has made it her vendetta to spread this narrative around to everyone, it cannot remain forgotten. If I'm working a job, she'll be right on spreading the gossip of what happened to my workplace and employer. I know it's happening, it's cost me a job already.

I guess in general, it's two categories:
software development - write code (dev), testing (qa), take a lot of meetings (project manager)

Im working 2nd month as hvac unpaid apprenticeship. Its occasionally really hard when you Are carrying 90 lbs gas canisters up 5 floors tired at 7 am. Then My mentor gives me up to 50 orders in a Day. We discuss nothing other than "do this, bend this, drill this. Hes not an asshole though, not a fun Job to order around a Guy For 8 hours a Day.

I'm 31 years old, I live in a third world country with my family and I draw porn for a living. I don't know how to feel about it, to be honest. In general, I earn more than most of my siblings and I don't have to leave the house, but all my money goes to support my family and pay for my mother's medical care. But I'm not complaining; it's the only reason I decided to look for a job.
However, I can't help but worry when I think about the future. "Erotic artist" isn't a very reliable occupation and it doesn't look good on your resume. Even worse, besides that, I don't have any work experience and the whole AI thing makes me feel nervous. I'm close to earning a degree in Computer Engineering, but what good is that to me if I have no real knowledge in the field? My professors don't teach us anything and I spend all my time working, so I don't have time to learn on my own. On the other hand, I know some classmates who slave away programming web pages and don't even make much money. Do I really want to spend years in a highly stressful job just for the hope that maybe I'll get a better job in the future? I mean, I would have to start from the bottom while dealing with my educational shortcomings.
I just don't know what to think… Honestly, I rarely think about these things, but this morning I visited a shitty IB where they were denigrating a guy for being an artist who wanted to leave his country for a better life. They practically told him that he wasted his life on a shitty hobby and now he had to get a real job.

The thing is that since it's so easy most companies don't hire manual QA's anymore, most companies hire QA automation engineers that as the name say automate these tests, it's like s lite version of programming but way more limited and more tedious.

I've been trying it out after a period of NEETing and all I can get is shit factory work, and I have sore legs and am always tired. I don't even enjoy my free time.

The difference between this and NEETbux is $100 US per week (in part because student loans come out of my wages and don't come out of the bene)

Got a degree in finance, almost top of my class, in a 3rd word shithole because "muh career prospects" and now I'm working at a call center for 620 dollars a month, which by this country standards, is way above average.

The thing is, I hate human interaction, I hate this fucking job and I hate dealing with stupid gringos which don't have a damn clue of what they actually want. The only things keeping me here are the wage (which as I said, is pretty good compared to everything else), the fact that they gave me free transportation and copious amounts of clonazepam.

I usually see old friends (to which I don't talk anymore) getting succubi or getting married, getting decent jobs, and stuff like that and I'm here, being a stupid, replaceable call center agent. And the cherry on top is that if I don't clean the house or give my parents some of my money they will simply kick me out, even though I have almost 10 hour shifts. I hate everyone, I hate this country and I hate myself. I sometimes feel like there is something inherently wrong with me; something beyond redemption, and the only solution for that is either bombing the governmental institutions which take away my money in the form of taxes, which goes to stupid normies and single moms, or death.

I learned after I fell victim to white collar crime and blackmailed out of a workplace (I've posted about it a bit now I think, even as it was happening) that workplaces often can't actually get rid of you if you do nothing wrong. Depending on certain labor laws, the country, your contract, and the work situation, you can be somewhere where everyone abhorrently despises you and they still can't get rid of you.

Learning that is what's changed my attitude towards work. It re-orientated how I seen the place. The boss is no longer someone with a wide prerogative of authority, all the authority he has only goes as far as to delegating what tasks happen during work hours.

Just take a look at your contract, see what it says. If work is coming in from a person who is not an established work authority over you, just 100% say "no, I'm busy" until you're comfortable with establishing limits. Obviously if it's a supervisor saying it, do it, anyone else nah.

Make it a rule and see what happens. You can always go back to being a pushover. The only complication comes from if you care about what they think of you and you want to be close to them socially.

It feels like call center jobs somehow manage to combine the worst of both lonely isolation and hostile social contact together.

You sit alone at your desk, cutoff from people. and yet you're constantly dealing with people by voice. So you are somehow both isolated from and aggressed on by people at once. Vaguely analogous to getting flamed on 4chan all day.

most of my client interaction is unlocking the bathroom if they have to piss–there is some anxiety thinking of if any clients really act up or try to AWOL. Thankfully most of them are drugged up enough they sleep until first shift arrives.

Every business needs a website these days. Open up a pizza shop, your customers will want to see the menu, location on the map, some pictures etc. Maybe you want to have them make orders online and then a nice user interface for your workers to deal with orders. Then maybe the manager wants to schedule work hours, so they add that into the system. Then there's payment processing, tax bullshit, various kinds of reports.

A lot of stuff these days is moving into these online automated systems with a web interface that you might call a website.

It's vaguely amazing with all the strikes going on in stuff like trains, healthcare, waste collection etc that the people working in customer service wageslave jobs continue to keep their head down in the dirt as they get assfucked. The way that managers and supervisors abused their positions back when I wageslaved at a supermarket was astonishing.

People get mad at boomers, but I love them. I get rich off of them peddling absolute bullshit. People complain that there are no jobs in rural America–and it's true…if you look for jobs like a modern person would.

I regret dropping out of college and not studying what I really cared about but then I remembered how incapable I am. How common or rare is it to just be completely inept in every aspect?

I'm low energy and have low willpower which makes it difficult to be diligent. I also have a short attention span so I am going to make mistakes and I am anxious so I will triple check everything which leads to slow inefficient work.

I think slow and I have a hard time with spatial awareness. I am also clumsy.

Lastly of course because I'm neurotic and with low self-value social interaction is very draining to me and I'm not a person who people will want to work with or who inspires confidence in people.

There are so many numerous and deep faults I can't imagine ever fixing them. I don't even know what job I could do besides lifting heavy things if I get fit first. But that would make me miserable as I would like to do something intellectual but sadly I'm too dumb for it.

Do you really have to be overly enthusiastic and shit when you do a job interview? I want to apply to work at my local grocery store, and whenever I go shopping all the people working there look like fat unhygienic nerds. Granted, that's what I am too, but what the fuck? I also have zero experience and no college degree. My only experience is working with my dad, doing heavy lifting gruntwork, and I figured that's experience enough to move boxes of mtn dew to a shelf and jugs of milk to a refrigerator. Boomers say all job interviewers want to hear is "I'm always available, if someone calls off work I'll take over their shift", and millennials say job interviews want a bombastic personality, and with no irony say they want someone that really "sells themselves" to the company.

It depends on whoever's interviewing/hiring you, but generally you just have to not come off as a trashy twat.
The reason they love hearing you say you'll cover shifts is because many normgroids in lower positions are very flaky, and sometimes don't even call to let anyone know they won't make it.
If a manager refuses to hire someone because they don't exude pep, that manager probably won't last long at a successful company, and working under them will be hell.

Subversion of expections by parents. They give their kids a taste of the good life, playing video games all day, shirking responsibilities with minimal consequence, and being told that the world is a hugbox for them. Then, when they reach 18, it's all snatched away, they're sent to some shit job, hardly any time to themselves, and nobody seems to care about them nearly as much as they did when they were young and adorable. Of course, there's a blurred line to how bad childhood can be before it causes trauma, in which case it follows one for life.

If you get a doctor's sick note, send it in through email to their email address, ring in and say you've sent it and can't come in, in -most- countries they can't fire you over it. They can get rid of you in other ways, like making you redundant, but they can't say "sorry you're sick, you can't work here".

I've somehow adopted a new mindset where I've accepted "life is suffering, and I will suffer." Paradoxically, after adopting this thought pattern, I hardly ever feel anything while I'm at work, as though I'm closest to an 'auto-pilot' mode than I've ever been.
I await to see how long this effect lasts, but I've been consistently feeling not bad at work for almost a month.

My guess would be that those immigrants are either renting properties more on the outskirts of the city, leveraging huge family units with multiple workers to stay in a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment/condo, or they may also be given housing vouchers, if not free housing altogether.
The first unresearched thought that comes to mind is this looks like a desperate attempt to stave off a housing bubble crash, because unless more housing can freely be built by companies without costs of red tape and rent control prohibiting their construction, in fucking Canada of all places, these prices could stay the same if the supply is squeezed.
The end result is any possibly successful descendants of the immigrants moving somewhere else, where they don't have to share a room with 5 siblings, aunts, and uncles, while the Americanized (Canuckized?) dregs who are content with such abysmal conditions swell in numbers, until the city becomes smothered in slums that used to be middle class housing complexes.
