Yeah even minimum wage should rake in $1,000/m. What do you spend it on? CHILD SUPPORT?!?!?!?!??!

>>307175
If you got a car you can sleep in it. A billion times better than sleeping under bridges and what have you. If it's longer than a week or two get a big powerbank for your phone and some car shades for privacy. Shower and shave at planet fitness. We're going into summer so it's not a horrible time to go homeless.

>>307177
>What do you spend it on?
Insurance, "rent" to friend for staying here, debt and food. Literally breaking even. The rent policies are insane

>>307180
Buy a bag of rice and beans. Lay off the delivery slop and you'll be fine.

>>307180
>debt
Financial debt doesn't need to be repayed. Just sop paying.

>>307174
Nice blogpost.

>>307188
that's right! that's what this board is for. if you get out of the bucket, you should stop looking back at it.

go-getter wizards that have a dream career and are eyeing that promotion

>>307186
I didn't think people would mind seeing as that's what most of this thread is. I always thought it was pretty interesting reading about what goes on in the lives of other wizards like the guy washing dishes. Of course questions like "What's it like working as _" are good too.

back to office… remote work ended

>>303790
Update: I quit that job. A co worker was stabbed and I decided I'm not risking that. It's literally slightly over min wage which doesn't amount to anything given the stress involved. It's also either extremely boring or extremely stressful. Sometimes I have to stand for 3 hours + straight in the same area directing customers who either don't listen or don't even speak the native languages of my country. Every 10 minutes feels like an hour. When it's not boring is when I'm forced to follow a thief in the store and note down what they're stealing so we can build a case on them, the issue is I'm in uniform so they notice me and often want to fight me. I don't even have a flashlight, and we have "stab" proof vests from Temu that my boss showed me he could poke a hole through with a pen if he stabbed hard enough. He calls himself the John Wick of "company name". I'm out, not sure what I'll do next as it's so hard to find work

>>307224
good call, even if the problem isn't some crackhead attempting to maim you because you caught him stealing a piece of gum, the boredom will. no joke

>Every 10 minutes feels like an hour.

no joke, this would drive you to insanity or at least it has been with me, to the point i just fantasize slitting my throat in front of the workplace or for your case, your local hobo would lovingly do it for you.

hope you find a new job sooner or later wizard

>>306528
I remember you. At least you recognise it for what it is. Just soul crushing tedium. Being deceived that it has any purpose or meaning in this society is a pathetic state.

For the first time in my life I have to deal with 'business' people. Corporate drones, office types, career succubi. I am terrified. I feel 'uncanny valley' when I watch them interact with each other. And when I realize people like this rule the world, it's state makes perfect sense.

>>307367
These people don't simply rule the world, the world was tailor-made for their existence

>>307368
Exactly. The fact that this is the default for human and I am just a… I don't even know what I am in comparison. I feel sickened. At least it is not a full-time office hell but a side job from home.

i hate the hard worker mentality with more than just a passion. their constant nagging of me with this you don't work hard enough bullshit is something i'll never get used to. fuck i wish i could escape

>work 5 months straight
> finally have two weeks vacation
>get sick on 2nd day of vacation
This must be some kind of a sick joke.

>>307789
wizbro this is exactly what happen to me this year

>>307789
It's a curse that the Archons inflict upon those who do not enjoy feeling sick. This is why NEETs feel bad all the time. Forever vacation = forever ill.

>>307792
For some, freedom is only found within walls.

Work's been surprisingly fine for me this month… only hangup is the two old farts from the morning shift. One of them needs to retire, I spend 4 hours out of the day trying to dodge him… just follows me around stopping projects and telling me everything can't be fixed because he already tried.

>>303790
Security is actually not a bad gig for your typical wizzie and it can very rewarding, but you do need to get lucky with finding the right job I feel. Yea, you can probably just accept the first security job you come across if you're really desperate, but it might consist of you being forced to stand on your feet the entirety of your shift in some retail store or public facing venue dealing with NPC normies all day who want to fight you and cause trouble, and it would drain your wiz-battery pack quickly and then you would end up hating it. Here's some wiz-tips for finding an ideal security job:

1) Don't just accept just any security gig that you're offered, always try to ask around to find out exactly what the job consists of. It'll also depend on the security company you apply to, some of them will be clear and upfront with you about the job requirements as well as the locations you'll be working at, while others will be very evasive because they just need to fill the post and don't really care much about their workers. I would recommend avoiding those type of places. A decent security company will be upfront with you about their expectations as well as the work environment. At the same time you can't be a floor mat yourself and just accept whatever job post you're offered, if you don't think you'll like working at a job site - don't accept it.

2) Try to do some research on the security company that you're applying to and what kind of sites they staff, for example some of them will focus exclusively on public facing venues like security at concerts, retail stores, normie social events, and if you're just looking for some easy sit down on your butt do-nothing jobs, then you'll obviously probably want to avoid those. Try to get some previous employee feedback about the company that you're applying to, you can google the employer and their reviews and read what previous employees said about working there, whether if it's a good place or not. An ideal wizzie security job is one where you'll be mostly working by yourself, isolated from the general public and your duties mostly consisting of sitting down, occasionally doing some patrol rounds or watching the CCTV cameras on a monitor. Places like industrial areas, warehouses, after-hours medical facilities, etc. when all the normies are gone, etc. those can be good environments to work at.

3) And lastly don't be afraid to talk with the hiring people and always try to get as much information as you're able to about the type of security work you'll be doing, before you commit yourself to anything and then only accept the job if you feel it'll be the right fit for you. Sometimes its best to reject a job if you don't think you'll like the working conditions and keep looking for other opportunities.

If you follow these suggestions - then you can make security work for you. It can be a very relaxing, stress-free job but you do need to have the right approach in finding one. Good luck wizzies.

only if zero criminal record. i have super minor criminal record, and was told yea, dont bother, it ll be a nite mare for you to become even an unarmed.

and even so,

could wind up like dude stuck deployed in bad areas. or worse, they put you someplace and are turned into a receptionist

>>307827
Mine rolled off at the 10 year mark - HR said come back in a month (10 years to the day) and I had the job.

The years before that were tough, tried getting into hospital or government work, entry level, but the minor record sent my resume to the shredder every time.

>put you someplace and are turned into a receptionist
I get that sometimes. Amazing how people can't be bothered to ask the actual front desk where the lady with the phones and directory sits and instead gloms onto the guy with a full cart or tools.

>>303736
Landed a machinery maintenance job In a factory about a year ago.
Was incredibly hard at first and thought about quitting multiple times, somehow I managed to survive.

This shit is still hard to me as I'm not handy at all, and most of the time i don't know what the fuck I'm doing, specially now that I'm alone at my shift. Some days I don't know how to pass the time and others I don't even have time to eat. The only upside is that's a job in high demand (basically every company is short staffed because they literally can't find anyone), and once all the genX retire it's gonna be in even higher demand because very few millennials took this career path. I highly doubt Ai or thirdies will take this job.

I feel so bad for the nice hot meal I cooked having to go immediately in to the cold fridge for tomorrow's lunch. I also feel bad for myself for having to go to work. At least I will have a nice, albeit cold, lunch to eat. Wizards love to put in a little effort today to make tomorrow's slavery a little easier. I hope that if I fall off the scaffolding and die, It happens after I have enjoyed my lunch.

I feel bad about being a shut in alcoholic loser that does nothing, but I've made several attempts to labour and actually do the normalfag thing and I've just seen the whole thing as just fucking absolutely loaded. A swindle almost.

The first example is the local chicken processing plant for the country. I did nightshift there for a month. 80% of the labour is filipino/indian/samoan migrants on temp visas and the other 20% are eccentric weirdos and mentally retarded people, and me (an eccentric weird). The job paid 20% more than I collected on NEETbux, and 10-15% when you accounted for driving to and from work, and within a week I was in chronic pain. Of course, if I had to do it to live, I'd do it, but paying quite literally minimum wage and so close to the NEETbux rate, I slinked off.

I just see local people either in jew daycare jobs, boomers living it large with their accumulated wealth, or the 20% of young people lucky enough to have a proper career, or they're completely checked out. There's one guy I went to school with in my school year, he was a complete normalfag. He's now stacking shelves at the supermarket and he looks on the verge of shooting up the place every time I walk past him. I just get this sense of complete resentment terror from him. I don't mean it as an exaggeration that like a third to half of my graduating class are having problems in life? Even some of the high earning ones are checked out.

It's a peculiar situation in my country where they provide you enough to live just rotting away, any full time job you get at the bottom level is basically the same as that, all the while they flood the country with migrant labour. Maybe I'm just a lazy spoiled cunt like the boomers say, but it does just seem rational to check out and collect NEETbux when the difference between the two is so similar. I checked the wages for orchid work, factory nightshift, and all the other physically brutal jobs, and have found they've flatlined since basically the 1990s. The more physically abusive jobs used to pay more, that's why people did them.

>>308098
I cannot imagine something worse for your health than long term physical labour, it literally kills your flesh and bones, no wonder we let migrants do it because it's extremely consuming.
The best thing people like us can achieve is premium bux also known as full disability pension which in western countries varies from $800 to $2500.
I feel no shame from parasitizing a corrupt system that allows slavery.

>>308098
only a 10% increase in pay for ALL the hours spent working, all the stress and general issues that come along with it. I swear people must NEETBUX as much as possible. If jobs were giving like 5x the money I'd happily show up. My used up old hag of an auntie makes MORE than I do being a welfare queen with 9 kids and I work 60 hours a week.

>>308102
>My used up old hag of an auntie makes MORE than I do being a welfare queen with 9 kids and I work 60 hours a week.
And the governments of the world wonder why more people (normies and wizards alike) are dropping out of society.

>>308099
If they stopped bringing in migrant labour and got rid of NEETbux, those shit factory jobs would unironically pay an upper middle class lifestyle (Like many used to) and jew daycare jobs wouldn't exist. The class system in the west would be completely thrown out of balance and boomers and foids alike would suffer.

How many people are actually physically and emotionally capable of those physically brutal nightshift jobs? Remove people over 50, remove succubi, remove anyone who has the skills to aspire to anything better, and you're left with not enough people to fill the roles. They're socially essential roles, every serious country needs its local chicken processing plant, quarries and toilet paper production facilities because that shit is way too expensive to ship internationally.

>>308099
how to gets premiun

I looked at the bank account data from this retirement aged succubus. She has on her bank account roughly 300 000 euros. For doing absolutely nothing she earns 2200 and more each month just from investments (capital working for itself without labour). She herself doesn't even understand why and how and barely even appreciates it. However that's more than most people here working full time that I know. And it's more than enough to live much better than any kind of NEET buy. On top of that she receives full rent money. It boggles my mind how in this society capital is making more money than the any kind of work and effort you put in. People destroy their bodies and souls in inhuman jobs and earn less than people who have just already inherited money and do absolutely nothing, needless to say that 300 000 is just the bottom limit, wealthy people make a great job at keeping, extending and protecting their status and power. I can't blame the lady and this isn't anything surprising, but when I actually saw her getting 2300 each month just for doing absolutely nothing while my pay is lower and hating work so much, something in me broke.

>>308123
If it makes you feel any better, I truly believe a huge rug pull is about to take place for retail ETF investors and pension funds etc. Look at the IPO of SpaceX, financial regulation was literally rewritten to allow this company with a completely overinflated evaluation to become part of the NASDAQ. They even did something so these funds and ETFs will buy a higher proportion of SpaceX than they would normally have, which means this inflated time bomb of a stock will be part of everyone's retirement plans, whether they know it or not. Once the big guys pull out their money, the stock will tank and along with it everyone's retirement.

>>304840
After 6 months, it's okay now I guess, but I'm really getting tired of it. People don't try to talk to me anymore because they've clocked that I'm asocial, but the routine of it is starting to take its toll. Since I'm on a contract now, I have to work one saturday and sunday a month, which means I only have a one day weekend every other week, with no extra day off the following week. I only eat hot food on weekends pretty much since I'm too lazy/tired to make anything in the morning, and I wake up late anyway since I stay up after work to cool down after the stress of it all. It's been very busy lately since the company I work for closed a deal with 2 big tech companies. I haven't been to the gym in months, so my physique has taken a hit, especially with how shit I've been eating. It doesn't matter too much, but my physique was a point of personal pride. I've nearly collapsed from blood sugar at work a lot recently, so I'm basically living off coke and mountain dew. I sleep like shit, I eat like shit, I don't have time for anything. I want to quit but I live with my folks and they're insisting on me staying at that job for another year or two at least, which I don't think I can stomach.

What's the best way I can get myself let go without it being a big thing?

>>308119
Politicans can’t seriously crack down on migrant labor because the rich need the population to not decline or else lower demand means their asset prices, ie investments in real estate where they keep their wealth will decline. This wouldn’t be necessary if succubi weren’t failures who had children, but since the birth rate declines to below replacement there aren’t native born workers to prop up the system. You can have a shrinking population in theory but in practice the rich and powerful will panic and find a way to import replacement immigration. You can thank abortion, the sexual revolution and female selfishness for this.

>>308149
Would YOU want to have children? Wizchan is an antinatalist board.

>>308151
>Would YOU want to have children?
NTA but personally, I wouldn't, but I wouldn't say I'm an antinatalist either because it's my personal decision to not have them rather than my own philosophical outlook. I see antinatalism more as a way to intellectualise depression than a serious philosophy since you never see happy people being antinatalists, unless you consider DINK couples to be antinatalists. Natalism/antinatalism is basically a negative-sum game since misery increases either way. Natalism causes kids to be miserable, and antinatalism causes natally-inclined people to be miserable. There's no winning.

>>308147
>What's the best way I can get myself let go without it being a big thing?
Don't steal or anything, that'll be a mark on character. My job it'd be easy, point out by calling out once a week for 2 months or lose the keys to the archival room and fall asleep at a desk or something.

>>307815
Thanks for the advice, I am keeping an eye out for those types of jobs. I just don't believe I'll ever be that lucky. When I was a kid my mother had to drive my dad to work and I'd be with them. It was often dark outside, there was a single booth with a guard inside with a cup of coffee and a book. He'd just say hello to my dad and let us through. His job was literally only letting people in, and just answering the phone if someone called in sick. Literally nothing as my dad later confirmed. I need that so badly.

Another ideal one would be the typical dark room with 20 monitors at the mall or something. Perhaps something more quiet though, that same room but at a muesuem at night time. All I'd have to do is a walk every hour or so. God. Can you imagine that? Boredom wouldn't exist as you can bring books and listen to things. I still get a little upset when I listen to any story detailing a job like this, it's often used in creepypasta stories about some lone security guard with a comfy job..

>>306424
I haven't gotten a raise in two years. I'm about ready to find a new job but I absolutely hate going through the hiring / interview process again.

>>308200
Damn, not even an attempt to keep pace with inflation? I wonder if they know how much you hate the hiring process and think they've got you by the balls as a result.

>>308200
We get like 0.5% a year as a raise and corporate really pat themselves on the back for it. Then they don't hire people and run skeleton crews as it makes the paperwork look like they're better at running a business. The job needs 20 people, it's run on 1~5, maybe 7 on the busiest days of the year. All of us are stretched thin.

>>308261
They are well aware, they probably have thousands of applicants emails lol. This is why they can treat us like shit. My boomer dad sometimes tells me stories about how his workplace treated people. They used to get DOUBLE pay on ALL holidays and overtime, the day after/before holidays was also double time + an extra lieu day. Bonuses were handed out every month which was like 2 weeks pay. Every Christmas they had a raffle and gave shit away like BBQs, 500 dollar vouchers, and the main prize would be a brand new car.

He was an untrained factory worker in the 70s/80s.

>>308269

i do the work of 5 to 7 people at my job. Somedays it works, somedays lol Not so much

it must be that way every place now. If i see a story in news, Barge crashes into bridge, airplane falls apart in sky, etc…. i just picture me/person like me there on a bad day tryin to do jobs of 10 people, and its Oooops lol.

My boomers would tell me same crap from back in 1980s. Job Application was: walk in, can i work here please? One page job application, start next day. Bonuses Bonuses and more Bonuses, and actual money, not a $20 gift card BS. And i remember my boomers flippin out in early 1990s it was all bein discontinued.

My bonus at work is, you still have a job, can be taken away at any time. They even make us work on X mas eve and NYE, would of been un heard of in my industry pre 2009,

>>308298
Yeah, at my company it feels like every good employee is doing the work of 2 to 3 people, partly because they constantly under-resource everything to cut costs (increase profit for the owners), and partly because there's so many shit employees that don't pull their weight but HR refuse to do anything about.

I did it. Last year I quit. I'm much happier, but I have recurring dreams about being back in high school and having responsibilities.

Scared of getting stuck deeper into this job I've somehow been at for 2 years already. Scared of leaving it because it's so easy and my coworkers are nice and it pays a decent enough salary. Scared of my degrading mind, I have hobbies, but still. I'm scared constantly and now I have to go and do my best at this damn convention thing we do every year in Summer. I'm scared. I hope it's easy.

>The Subjective Happiness Paradox

>One of Hurst’s most striking findings was that despite their employment dropping and many of them living at home with their parents, this group of men reported being happier on average than the same demographic did in the early 2000s.

>This creates an invisible economic drag. Because the digital world provides cheap, high-yield dopamine, it subsidizes a lower standard of living. People become content with lower economic performance because their primary source of satisfaction is digital and virtually free.

Turns out being a terminally online loser NEET makes you happier, who knew.
