No.304840
>>304035Figured I'd give a little update:
I ended up quitting after about two weeks because I got another job offer that at the time sounded a lot better (evening shift instead of a night shift, and at a factory instead of a supermarket), but after a few weeks of working there, I can confidently say that I hate it. I liked it more at the supermarket. The problem with the factory is that it's all very tight knit and everyone tries to talk to me cause I'm the new guy when I really just don't want to talk to anyone unless it's work related. I've also made a bit too good of a first impression with management so they're pushing me to do more already, which I don't think I'll be able to do since I'm quite forgetful. At least at the supermarket, no one acknowledged my existence and I had one job in one aisle only.
How great being a NEET was and how I can go back to that is one of the only things I think about now, but I'm not retarded/lucky enough to have the government take care of me, so I'd have to live with my parents, and I don't want to do that.

>>304840>I've also made a bit too good of a first impression with management so they're pushing me to do more already, which I don't think I'll be able to do since I'm quite forgetful.As an older mage who's been in the working world a while, let me give you some advice here young wizzie, NEVER go above and beyond at your job even if you're more then capable of it - your reward won't be more pay or bonuses, you'll only be rewarded with more work AND your coworkers will start to dislike you since you'll make them look bad in front of the management. You want to neither stand out at the very top nor be the one at the very bottom, always try to remain AVERAGE with the amount of effort you put in at work.
The less your managers expect from you - the better it will be for you. Nowadays also in this economy being a high-performer at work doesn't guarantee you job security, I've seen some hard-working smart individuals get laid off in jobs simply cause they were being paid higher then the rest of the team and someone needed to be let go to save on employee costs. And now that you showed your managers that you can be driven to work hard without any extra reward on their part, they'll come to expect that level of hard work from you consistently at the same amount of pay. In short - learn to take it easy wizzie, you don't need to impress anyone at work or go above and beyond since you'll only end up burning yourself out.
No.304925
>>304840Sorry to hear that. When it comes to work, it's very difficult to find a job that's tolerable, and very easy to lose that job once you do find it.
>it's all very tight knit and everyone tries to talk to me cause I'm the new guyI hate that shit so much, the "we're like a big family" type of workplace. It's the worst because your coworkers will try to pry into your personal life and even pressure you to attend social functions with them and get offended if you refuse. It's ridiculous.
>>304922Exactly correct, wiz. I had to learn that lesson the hard way a few times. I would set out to do a good enough job so that no one has a reason to complain about me, but I would overdo it and impress the people around me, which result in more responsibility and higher expectations, which would ultimately result in me getting burnt out, overwhelmed, and eventually quitting. Also, as you said, there's no reward for working hard. In fact, with labor laws the way they are now, you can actually get legally screwed over at work. I recently got promoted at my job (I didn't try that hard, just most people around me were shit at their jobs or had bad attendance, so I was the best choice by process of elimination) and the company I work for wont even consider giving me a raise until April, because that's when their fiscal-year ends. So I'm doing a job that I'm getting provably underpaid for, but it doesn't matter because it's legal in the eyes of the shitty US government. The collapse can't happen soon enough.

Got kicked out of the team I had been working with for the past 2 years. My team leader just can't be bothered to put up with my shit anymore. According to him I bring "negative vibes" to the workplace and that's why he is no longer interested in working with me. But I know he just hates my guts and got tired of pretending he doesn't. I made a small goodbye speech on our last meeting. A foid cried. Which is funny since I always made a point to avoid her like the plague. Once I even called in sick so I didn't have to work a shift with her. She must have liked the treatment since she was inconsolable. Nobody else cared.
I'm starting on a new team next month. Hopefully this one will last another 2 years. I will do my best to keep interactions short and strictly work related and never ever attend any social gatherings.

I have the option of seeking employment or not. My parents would support me either way because they have money and they know I am disabled. Would it be a midwit move to try to work at all? I have money of my own saved that I could pay to my parents if they required it.
I think I may try my hand at being self-employed just to make myself look busy. It could be a disaster socially to seek employment as a middle-aged wizard with almost no employment history and intellectual disability. I would probably just get laid off perpetually and become a lolcow. My sister loses jobs constantly and never earns very much because she's dyslexic.
I have already begun volunteering and haven't encountered much resistance so far. My feeling is that volunteers are far friendlier on average than paid workers because of their generally upbeat and prosocial nature. They all seem to be retired people who want something to do.

I hate my job so much, it's the worst amount varying suffering methods designed purely to get me on every level. First of all my roster is ALWAYS changing, Sometimes I finish at 10pm, and supposed to start the next day at 12pm, but I get asked at 9:30pm to come in at 6am, NIGHTMARE. Can't say no either otherwise goodbye and I can't get benefits in this country. Also it's often so busy and sressful, easy one to explain. I get about 2 days a week though with NOTHING TO DO!!!!! NOTHING!!! for 10 hours!!!!! I have 1 hour work, and it's not real downtime either, I must LOOK BUSY!!! I ask for some work to do they say no and do cleaning, I do cleaning but that makes time go so slow.

It's such an uncanny combination of cultural artifacts, having this child mentally calling for the image of a dead Iron Age religious leader while kneeling in front of canned high fructose corn syrup. The soul-sucking fluorescent lights in the background and the commentary of the mother, who no doubt brainwashed the child to this behavior, talking as if somehow praying to Jesus was the succubus's own idea, create a jarring image that makes my head spin. And of course, every single vertical surface is covered in ads.
Then I start thinking this is all happening due to the gravitational collapse of enormous clouds of dust, molecular hydrogen, and helium into stars. Balls of ionized gas ongoing nuclear fusion, burning light elements into heavier ones. And here we have a small terrestrial pile of galactic debri orbiting around a big pile of burning hydrogen, with this child calling for a man long dead. Not the greatest minds in the world could invent a tragicomedy of such monumental, bizarre proportions. What is all this fucking stuff? It doesn't matter how much you study chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology. It doesn't matter how much you think you know.

>>305596Self employment would be ideal but it's harder to effectuate in practice than it sounds in theory. You need to do quarterly taxes, submit a business plan, register trademarks (if applicable), figure out how to sell your stuff and how to do stuff like withold sales tax for people. Most of that stuff can be handled by paying people for a service but then you need to have income. Depending on what you do you may also have other regulatory requirements like insurance/bonds that also cost money and therefore require you to be making money effectively. The last and most unfortunate part is that no matter what you do, you cannot get money from people without interacting with those people somehow. Even if you just do an email customer service with internet shop you will still have to answer their questions and deal with all the bullshit that the broken people will try to pull on you.

It's shit work but I think I have figured out how to get my living expenses to practically zero by living in my car on public land. I bought an EV with this in mind so that I can charge at free chargers and spend zero dollars on fuel. My only expenses will be phone/internet and food. I calculate I should need to find approximately three quarters of a gram of gold per week (3g a month) to sustain this lifestyle. Also, despite being shit work, it sounds to me to be infinitely preferable to slaving for normalfags.

I'm moving soon and I'm planning to save up enough cash to move and be NEET for a few months. I'm nearly there, but unfortunately my job is becoming fucking unbearable. From the time I get settled in at my station until the time I clock out, I'm constantly bombarded with bullshit from every direction. Half the people I work with speak little-to-no English, and dump a bunch of their work on me. I've been given a lot more responsibility (but no extra pay) since I started, so I'm constantly moving, basically doing the job of three people by myself every single day, and it's wearing me down mentally and physically. On top of that, the higher ups have installed metal detectors and will be hiring security guards, as well as taking away our breaks. So soon I will have to get checked at the door in the morning, work for 4 hours straight, get checked on the way to my lunch break and back, work for 4 more hours, then get checked on the way out like a fucking convict. Plus we get shit pay for all of this nonsense. If I can hold out for another month or two, I can spend about 4 or 5 months NEETing and being pretty content, but I don't know if I can really stand this hellish sweat-shop job long enough to make it. I could possibly get another job for a couple months and still be on track more or less, but that's only if I can manage to find something suitable and early enough so I don't miss too many paychecks before I move. Honestly, spending my adult life wageslaving has made me realize exactly why so many people deal drugs, run scams, steal, or otherwise cheat their way through life. Being an honest workingman is a nightmare.
