I elaborated on it in the last thread a bit; I got fired because the manager was a power-tripping faggot that hated me because I wasn't totally subservient to him. If you're working and your manager keeps complaining about superficial shit, it's over and you'll be fired soon; it's not your fault, it's just that the manager's a bitter faggot from wageslaving for years.
I worked at that shit tier gas station that payed me close to min wage and blatantly sold illegal vapes and made thousands every shift I had, (pic related) there was no nightshift rate or weekend rate either and they made me pay for till shortfalls too which is illegal.
Anyway Anon, the moral of my post is that if you're not NT, it's fucking over in terms of work and relationships; it's weird how normies can tolerate this endless horror without any sense of discomfort like farm animals being lined up to slaughter.

>>296811I worked for company A for 2 years. It was a small warehouse, me and 2 other revolving guys. I kept busy taking care of the day to day stuff of the warehouse while carefully avoiding any physical toil.
Well, about 6 months ago, Company A merged with Company B, as my boss purchased a failing company. No one else came over but my boss asked for me to come over, even paying for my travel until I got a driver's licence.
I was given a seat in the office of 3 other people. These other people are always working away doing sales for Company B (the companies are still considered separate). There are 3 in the warehouse picking and packing. I was given an office uniform.
Well ever since then for the past 6 months I've basically been chilling at my desk in the office. My day consists of scrolling and trying to look busy while getting happy when my boss once in a week asks me to do something. Again in the old place I was taking care of the day to day of the warehouse but that role is already filled over here.
I've tried learning skills but I can't really focus when I'm worried someone's going to come by and see my screen.
I don't think the members of Company B actually know I don't have any work to do otherwise I think I'd have been shown the door by now.
I want to ask for more work but I don't want to be told, go help in the warehouse. I don't want to do manual labor. I would happily do any office task, however tedious, I just don't want to do anything physical.
Any ideas? I know I should be looking for another job. But in order for me to get certified in something it would take months and I don't know how long I can take this anymore.

>>297595>>297596 is right. Security guards are the eyes of the law - nothing else. The most you'll have to do is tell someone they're trespassing, and in a lot of positions that is done over a CCTV intercom. Inner city security work has its own quirks like informing hobos and drug addicts that they can't be there, repeatedly, every night. As an overnight mall cop your job is more of a legal requirement for buildings of a certain size, so they don't get sued if some kid who was hiding in the mall overnight falls off the escalator and dies because nobody was there to tell him he wasn't allowed to be there. Also you just need to make sure the building doesn't burn down and that you inform daytime staff of any damages or oddities you found so they can attend to them before shoppers are allowed in.
That is, if you're not working as a response security. Guarding bank trucks, hospitals, courthouses, and buildings that themselves deal in security will require you to be ready to shoot someone in the face at all times. You will be tested for strength, mental health, drug abstinence, criminal record, and general intelligence before being hired as a guy who gets to shoot people in the face.

How do you deal with losing all intellectual curiosity and drive? I used to be severely poor and the only thing I was passionate about was learning math and coding and physics and shit. In my freetime I would work through textbooks and do those online coding challenges. It was a fun escape for me. I would say my interest was genuine at that time. However I became a wageslave and managed to escape complete poverty, but simultaneously I lost any and all interest and drive I formerly had. I don't get excited to learn something new anymore. I try to motivate myself for months but all I do is sleep, eat, work. How do wizards escape the rut of only doing the bare minimum? I don't think I'm depressed, just too content. I think my drive before was a result of sublimation of unfulfilled desires. I lost sex drive some time ago, and I'm no longer cold and hungry and I sleep on a bed instead of a floor. I guess it was an escape from my situation but I don't have anything to escape from now just endless comfort and boring but tolerable wageslaving in an endless loop forever. What is the solution to this? Cutting out distractions doesn't do anything because I'll just sleep all day anyways.

At my work there actually is something exactly like what you described. There's an extremely intense focus on 1 particular metric, basically sales. If you don't hit your "goal", you get fired. If you exceed the "goal" you get massive life changingly large bonuses, raises, promotion, etc.
I give 0 fucks about it. I usually don't even reach the quota. I do only bare minimum to not get fired. I have less than 0 interest in progressing. Actually I actively resist it, because promotions just means more work, higher expectations, and running harder in the wagie hamster wheel to please your sociopathic masters.
I hate working in general, being NEET wasn't an option for me and homelessness and near homeless adjacent living was miserable and chaotic.

I will have to wageslave forever, and I have no mind for investments or trading crypto, since my full-time job drains all my energy.

>>297938My job is "okay". It's an office job but not exactly great. Some days it's extremely busy from start to finish since it's basically a call center. So on busy days you are having to talk to strangers for 9 hours straight with maybe 10 - 15 seconds between calls. However it is comfy enough compared to many my previous jobs. Just barely tolerable. The pay keeping me in my own apartment is really what keeps me going, I still remember the 10+ hrs of working physical labor,in person customer service, tons of really awful and miserable jobs. So this is an "upgrade". Actually I sometimes miss working back of house in kitchens, even though that was hard work it felt somehow rewarding and also low stakes. Also I had other jobs that were way more chill which I miss. I worked at a very small hotel in the front desk, but literally many nights only 2 people checked in or maybe 0 people, so that job was literally just paying me many weeks and weeks to just show up, clock in, and play video games or read books or lurk imageboards all night with 0 actual work. My favorite job of all was a security guard. It was even better because instead of being at a static location, I got to go to all sorts of different places. Huge convention centers, random fields in the middle of nowhere, huge variety of spots. I got to explore huge building complexes late at night with no one else around. Furthermore the job itself was literally to just exist. Didn't even have to pretend to be busy, just wandering around listening to music etc. This was my dream job and I loved it to death. I love exploring and wandering, even as a kid I always dreamed of getting to walk around inside all those buildings and stuff as like the last person on earth and security guard literally was getting paid to live out that fantasy. 0 socialization, 0 normalgroids since most coworkers were wizard types too, and anyways you only saw them at the morning when changing shifts.
The ultimate bonus was they would fly me or pay me to go to different cities and states. And pay for hotel room for entire assignments. So I got to travel and explore random places all over the country and get paid for it.
I can't stress enough how much I loved that fucking job. It was literally the fucking end game job for a wizard like me. Sadly the pay was very low, and the company was very sketchy/unreliable and often didn't pay us on time,sometimes several weeks late.
If I ever get fired or whatever I'm going back into security. Office jobs are okay and all but security was way better by every metric except salary, which I only care about so far as it enables me to live in peace and undisturbed

I'm nearing the one year anniversary of getting my remote customer service job. I have never held a job for this long.

If I'd ever get laid off, I'm kind of fucked because I'm too used to this now to ever go back to working on-location.

Everyone is a reclusive dick, there's nothing to do outside on your own, every morsel of land is owned by some boomer propertyfag so I can never explore in peace
I cannot stress enough how little there is to do outside, even when I'm hanging out with friends it still feels like we're the only people in this damn country, its so lonely having 0 sense of community. Whats even the point of wageslaving at fucking KFC? I only do it so I can afford some food and so I dont feel like an unemployed loser since a shitty job when you're young is "just what you do" but holy fuck does it all feel so pointless
My parents have had a rich teenagehood, there was always some shit going on back then so what the fuck happened? Where was the life I was promised?
It's actually so unfair, how come I get to be in this grey area of not being bluepilled enough to thrive in the corpse society but not schizo enough to fuck off into whatever little woods we have left
I unironically wish I lived in America, the people there seem a BIT more actually fucking alive, milk doesnt cost 6.50$ yet and there's actually land left to explore that isnt just dirt road dirt road tiny pond that someone owns dirt road

Peoples in ancient times could at least hold the notion that the things they create would last for generations, and as we see today they were often times correct. In this day and age, very little of what anyone does seems to have a profound or lasting impact, especially on an individual level. People of the past built monuments, crafted art, and wrote literature that are still discussed and venerated to this day. Now, a person can work themselves tirelessly for decades crafting their life's magnum opus, only to have it become old news within a year or so, and that's if their work isn't ignored completely.

I'm at the breaking point. I hate my job a lot. I need to find another job. To find another job I need to apply to other ones, make resume again, etc. I have no energy to do this. After work I am too drained to do anything but lie down and rot. Before work I am filled with nothing but intense dread and loathing. Every minute is torture because I know I'm that much closer to having to go back to work. Weekends I just sleep and try to replenish even a small amount of energy or drive before I'm back to work again. This is such a vicious cycle. I want to escape it. I know conventional wisdom is not to quit your job without having another lined up. However I do not think I will ever have the energy to do anything until I free myself the tyrany of this current one. Every day I hope I'll get fired or laid off.

And its so painful, each time distractions come so easy I just really dont wanna do it. I just wanna retry my life I fucked up. All my grades are at rockbottom even if I still passed. I dont even know what I want to specialize in.
I wonder if Ill even be able to finish my bachelor for CS at this rate. sloth is a slow acting poison but I have noone to blame than myself for giving in to the pain and not registering for the courses because its painful and not studying properly even though my future depends on it, not having worked a single hour of my life because I dont know how to find a job.

>>296970>it's weird how normies can tolerate this endless horror without any sense of discomfort like farm animals being lined up to slaughter. I could never tolerate a lot of shit work. Was fired from my first job (it was to scrape plastic shit from poor injection molds) at 18 after 2 weeks. (Was probably too retarded and openly complained, got framed for some mistake.)
Was basically NEET for a long time.
It wasn't until 28 where I got my first real job which was akin to divine intervention, but anyways back on topic.
THE WORST job I ever had was through a student agency at around age 20 where I lasted 1 night.
The succubus agent set me up with it, was supposed to be some "comfy nightshift" thing.
I wasn't familiar with the location so walked for like an hour at night in the dark, arrived an hour early.
The facility was next to a fucking caged off tombstone engraver shop with tombstones laying around in the open it was creepy.
At around 21:40~ worked up the courage to go into the facility and introduce myself.
>zombies all around>dimly lit basically abandoned feeling factory from 100 years ago, orange lights, smoke everywhere, high heat>creepy ancient succubus with 2 teeth to her name greets me and leads me to my station>a dozen or so ancient methzombie succubi look at me as we go upUpstairs was set up at a small barely lit desk 40C heat basically.
MACHINES HAMMERING AWAY right next to me. Plastic fumes all around. People openly spray paint plastic shit a couple steps away.
Noise unbearable, but whatever I got earplugs…
>my whole body is shook by the tremors>earplugs do nothing>heat…Some YOUNG students showed up, 14 year olds basically there to make extra money for an iphone or whatever, meanwhile it was my second job basically ever at 20.
The youngsters had no complaints, no issues, nothing bothered them. (One male one succ.)
I was shocked by this and still am to this day.
What was the job you might ask? Pic rel. The big red bird.
They tossed us a large box with the red bird in parts for this pez dispenser and you took the parts and squeezed them together.
That fucking orange beak hurt my fingers pretty bad after a dozen or so.
>8 hours>nightshift>zombies>barely lit factory, insane heat>a mix of plastic fumes, paint fumes and cigarette smoke fills the entire building>noise shaking me to my core through earplugs>put these plastic pez dispensers together to be sold for normalfag kidsTHE KIDS HAD NO ISSUE WITH ANY OF THIS. THE ZOMBIES HAD NO ISSUE WITH ANY OF THIS. I'M THE WEIRD ONE OUT???
Went back after the shift, immediately called the student work succubus that set me up with this shit for 2 weeks and told her I'm done.
Asked why and basically told me I'm being overly dramatic and I'd have to pay for quitting? Told her to kill herself and if I get charged for the cancellations I'm suing.
Didn't get paid for that night, but the cancellation fee would have been 10x anyways at least didn't get charged…
Needless to say I did not get another student gig after that in that town.
In conclusion I'm still unable to grasp how normies manage to tolerate their lives doing stuff like this. Not only do they tolerate it they look at you like you are weird if you can't or wont.
I'd rather kill myself than do something like this for years.
I'm blessed in my current position and I tolerate a lot of corporate annoyances to keep this job, because I know I might just be back to some plastic factory popping angry birds figures together.
TL:DR; I'm a bigger bitch than a 13-14~ year old succubus, but I fully believe I'm not wrong.

Am 28. I've worked freelance as programmer since I was 21, self-taught from online courses. Tired of computers and staring at screen, also I've been having trouble getting projects lately. Now I'm looking to get some part-time warehouse work. I've applied to 3 so far, but did not hear back. I wonder if my lack of any jobs on my resume is a factor. Probably have to apply to way more to hear back. It has to be part time because I could not stand working 8 hours a day every day. I chose warehouse work because I don't want to deal with any customers and have to smile at them and wish them a "great day".

You're exactly right with the noise too. The old man working alongside me 8 months in the same warehouse since we were both defective humans committed suicide thanks to it. The day before he did, I remember he didn't seem capable of concentrating much, and would frantically search around for something, shaking all the while.
At the time, I didn't know what it was, but later I would realize he was desperately looking for hope, something to liberate his soon to be corpse.
But now he's dead. Passed away in the toilet, with shit filled pants, piss everywhere, after an OD.

Where I live part time doesn't even exist anymore. Employers want you as a full-time exclusive serf not a temp worker.
You have a pretty good gig going there, it also makes me think you are more intelligent than average, more than me at least.
If you are tired of computer screens, but don't mind still working in a tech field, get into networking.
Setting up basic network devices on site, running cable etc. for small-to-medium businesses is something you can do as a part time thing (independently, or contract with an ISP).
Not a constant 8 hours if you are good enough.
You can also leverage those skills into getting a cushy remote job once you had your fill of "real work away from a screen".

I feel like I would need to just go through K-12 material again for math, physics and chemistry just to have some common knowledge normies somehow retained from highschool.

Imagine placing a frog into a pot of cold water, then slowly turning up the heat. At first, the frog remains calm, barely reacting to the gradual change. It quietly adjusts its body temperature, slowly adapting to the warming water, thinking, “This is still okay. I can handle this.”
As the water continues to heat, the frog tolerates the rising temperature, convincing itself that it’s still bearable. It adapts little by little, accepting discomfort bit by bit, believing it can survive whatever comes next.
But here lies the danger: when the water becomes unbearably hot, too hot to endure, the frog finally recognizes the urgent need to escape. It realizes, “Now, I must jump out to save myself!”
Unfortunately, by this time, the frog has already exhausted its energy simply enduring the increasing heat. It’s too weak, too depleted to make the leap to safety. Despite its desire to escape, the frog is trapped. Slowly, it succumbs to the boiling water, unable to save itself.
The truth is, the frog didn’t perish because of the water’s heat alone. It died because it failed to act early, failed to make the decision to jump out when it still could.
This phenomenon is known as the “Boiling Frog Syndrome.”
This powerful story mirrors many of our lives. We often endure injustice, neglect, or hardship step by step, telling ourselves, “I’ll tolerate this for now. I’ll deal with it later.” We accept small pains, dismiss warning signs, and adapt to worsening conditions, hoping things will improve.
But what starts as manageable discomfort can grow into overwhelming suffering. By the time we realize the severity of our situation, our strength to fight back, to change our circumstances, has often been drained. We lose the courage to stand up, to speak out, and to protect ourselves.
The lesson here is clear: Never allow yourself to reach a point where you lack the strength to break free from toxic situations.
When you sense discomfort or injustice creeping in, take action immediately. Set clear boundaries, raise your voice, and defend your dignity before it’s too late. Your mental and emotional resilience is your greatest ally, nurture it, protect it, and never let it be drained by slow, creeping harm.
Remember, life will often test your limits, but you hold the power to decide when to leap out of the boiling water. Don’t wait until your energy is gone. Act now, protect your peace, and choose survival on your own terms.
Because no one deserves to become the “boiled frog,” someone who wanted to survive but was too late to save themselves.
