You probably can say no though unless the labor market in your country is really fucked up. Just make up some excuse that you already have plans.

In most places, dust is all that's left in the rivers, but you can still harvest the dust. You spend all day panning stuff until you get black sand mixed with gold dust then you spend another day picking the tiny bits of gold out of the black sand manually. 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.

Seeing inbred witness fucking normies thrive and be promoted to managerial positions at my age (or roughly) makes my skin crawl, and this is not mere plain butthurt. You read and listen to them everyday - they won't shut the fuck up nor stop bragging about it. I don't see how I'm not fit considering the fucking retards they are, but then again, without normalfaggot networking and ass licking in this world for one is hard to come up.

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.

Slight update. Thank the heavens I'm still employed in the same place.
I pray for another year or two at least.

>people that start are better at it after 2 months than I am now.
The guy who started half a year or year after me just became my boss last week.
I'm fine with it, he is chill. Hope I can bear the many upcoming changes…

The previous boss assigned some extra tasks to me this month too.
Felt good about it, despite having a panic attack during one of the presentations I had to give to a succubus on video call.
Hope it means they'll keep me around.

>Would I have the energy if I wasn't a wageslave? Did I? I prefer not to answer myself.
Unfortunately I haven't progressed much in the past 4.5 months. I actually regained a lot of weight too. Health overall is not good.
Days just pass by, I work, I turn my brain off for the rest of the day with no energy.
Weekends feel like time travel. Took a 10 day vacation with the weekends and it passed by like nothing.
It's rather scary. Still no real skills or certifications in case I have to find another way to make a living.

>I'm genuinely shocked to see my coworkers do all this while getting an education, having family, children, working towards cars, homes and whatnot with a ton of hobbies and interests that they also pursue.
Still insane to see. Many coworkers are having kids, some I mentioned spawned even more. So do schooling, some moved up to more technical positions.
Some are making real progress in their hobbies/businesses too.

Wish I had that kind of spark.
Maybe the divine spark in me just needs to be rekindled again somehow. Wish I had the smarts to channel it.

I just got a $1 raise.
Funny because I literally spend 25% of the time at work taking a shit (I might have IBS). I guess my job really does have a worker shortage and they're afraid of people quitting. One quit just recently too.

>>306153
yeah I've heard about one story about a cop being denied promotion for "being too high iq"
the hierarchy isn't based on merit and they like to shove it in your face

when you have to hear that coworker who bitches about never having money babble on about the vacation they took

Dishwasher faggot from a few threads back here if anyone remembers me.

I got a job at a sheet metal-powder coating business, so far it's alright but I'm still so disgusted at working full time; it's suicidal inducing to just spend 40 hours a week staring at the decaying walls under the flouresent lights.


The pay's good, and the co-workers are older (youngest is 30) white guys; I just can't help but feel like I'm wasting my life and I have nothing to live for, like being in a waiting room for years or something.


Just a slow grinding decline into madness and bitterness.

Pic rel is a pic I took at work.

>>305095
the music they play alone…

my life exclusively consists of doing some odd jobs then poorneeting for as long as i can. this is pretty soulless to be honest

>$4,000 tax return for staying within the lowest earner threshold
It really is that easy

Have any of you worked at an Amazon Warehouse? Is it a good job for an autist? I am starting next week on the night shift. I hope I can just move boxes around without having to talk to anyone.

>>307138
I've worked at Amazon before, it's pretty easy work. Nobody there will really bother you unless you bother them. It's warehouse work they'll probably be in the same or similar position to you. If you can get inbound dock and work on unloading the trucks its a nice gig.

>>307126
>nearly $4,000 additional gibs from government "fuel rebates" and "rising cost of living" kickbacks despite not having a drivers license and pretty much living inside of anime for free
Oooooooooooooooooh yea. Never shoot too high, fellows.

In a strange position where I actually sort of enjoy my job but the conditions I have to work in are causing me to come this close to quitting.
I drive a truck all day, I'm independent, however the seat is brutal on my back. The healthcare is abysmal (usa) and I can't even see a doc about it.

>>307150
Are you allowed to invest in a better seat?

i like working on saturdays. peace everyone

It's getting harder to get work done, coworkers wont. shut. up. I probably spend 3-4 hours a day standing there while the extroverts talk at this point. I'd rather be doing work. Alone.

>>307155
Agreed - Saturday work is fine.

>>307169
what about sunday work? peace

I somehow finally got a shot at getting into my dream career but I won't know until june. It's a real make or break moment and I'm horrified of getting my hopes up and it all crashing down. If I get it I can finally move from home and stop being a fucking failiure.

Going homeless soon.
>Homeless with job
>Job doesn't pay enough
>Rent high af everywhere
>Find friend to stay with. Off the streets
>Friend says I need to move out in 2 months max
>Nowhere is hiring
>Can't make enough to afford a place
>Current job im breaking even every month
Hahaha fml wtf

>>307175
What are your expenses?

>>307175
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.
