The absolute worst part about working any job is dealing with the duplicitous, back-stabbing, ignorant, rude, and hostile people occupying the same space as me. I abhor working alongside people, I'm sure what how or why my problem originates. I am clean, average height, average-looking, financially stable, quiet and reserved–but polite enough to facilitate social interactions. I've not always been an outcast, but around puberty I withdrew and its only during adulthood people showed their true colors to me. I've endured slander, malicious gossip, verbal abuse and harassment, and even stalking from former classmates, coworkers, and neighbors alike. It's always the same. People hear about me from some sadistic group of stalkers and they turn against me to obtain social relevance. I hate the idea of collectivism because of how outrageously unfair it is to live as an individual because of this tribal herd-morality which has snuffed out the peace in my life. All I want is to be left alone, but people want to use and abuse me for their own ends and means; and when I refuse to participate in the social ruse, I am branded a coward. It's disgraceful.
Soon I will finish school and obtain employment in what has been advertised to me as a solitary vocation. The hours can be brutal and the pay meagre at first, but I will endure this labor also. Wish me luck and grace, Wizards.

>>303738That's a very relatable situation. Do your coworkers mistreat or belittle you for your lesser performance. I'm treated like rubbish even when I'm performing efficiently. NEETdom is truly a blessing, I'm thankful for my time as a NEET but I wish it never ended. Hopefully, after 10-15 years of working I can retire early and just live out the rest of my time in peaceful loneliness. People are insufferable.
>>303790 I was a security guard too, except I received one of the cushiony do-nothing jobs you described. It's really not that good, in fact, it's genuinely a terrible job. I was paid awfully and treated like a murderous rapist by my fellow coworkers. I was verbally harassed on a nightly basis, everyone knew about it but did absolutely nothing. The supervisor was Black and I think he hated me because I was White. He let wigger faggots do and say anything they wanted; honestly, it was a shitty job. People suck fat donkey nuts like lust-crazed whores. Seriously, I hate them and feel intense joy even when they are slightly inconvenienced.
I pissed in booth I was assigned to and the thing reeked of piss for months. I'm glad I did it too, but it still wasn't enough considering the unforgiving ostracism I endured.

I'm not fucking lazy, we're literally supposed to have more workers for our job, but management doesn't wanna fucking hire more bodies, because they save more money by hiring fewer people, so we're all they've got, but what they have isn't enough.
I shouldn't be blamed. I admit, I don't put my 100% into this thing, but why the fuck should I? It's not like we're a motherfucking nurse or doctor who's saving patients. Hell, it's not even like our position are the most critical and important at our job.
Goddamn, I'm tired of the blame game, that's all it is, just blame me, when I'm not even close to being the problem. I'm sorry I'm not fucking Superman. I'm sorry that I'm just a fucking lowly human being that's forced to do a job that needs more people at the helm.
I just fucking wish UBI came sooner so that I don't have to participate in this sadsack of shit of a farce anymore. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of December and how fucking busy it is, how it's just fucking non-stop and you HAVE to put 200% effort into this shit.

>>304593Ignore your managers. Their job is to pressure you and your coworkers to produce more so they can get their meager bonuses. If any company really wanted more production out of their workers, they would give those workers a monetary incentive to work harder. Most companies never do this however, so they'll get bare minimum effort from their staff, and that's all they deserve. The vast majority of companies (at least in the US) can't legally fire you without a good reason, lest they risk a 'wrongful termination' lawsuit. That being said, when working a job you need only do two things: show up on time, and do the bare minimum. They wont be able to fire you, so they'll just bitch at you instead. When they do bitch at you, just give them a blank, disinterested stare and say "ok." They'll be furious, but they can't do shit about it, and soon enough they'll just go pester someone else whose more receptive to their bullshit.

This isn't about me, but it's about my mother.
I have zero sympathy for her. She chooses to do wageslave out of greed, she has repeatedly made it clear that she loves money more than anything. She wants to earn earn earn. She has no care or concern for anything else.
Im more terrified of the fact that she gleefully chooses to destroy her health like this. Its unthinkable to me. Thats absolutely abnormal. Normies are a slave race, but nobody ever tells you the horror of that reality. Imagine happily getting up after 4 hours of sleep everyday for years, with heart disease, with diabetes, anemia, and persistent nutritional deficiencies, dependent on 6 different medications, eating such horrible foods and even abusing your kids for not eating the same garbage as you to show how superior your lifestyle is, while working 12 hours a day in hot crowded environments which you can easily trade for better if you tried. And being completely happy doing it.
Its a fucking nightmare. I live in a horrifying nightmate.
And the worst part is that I will be blamed if she collapses, because she violently hates me and gave birth me solely to satisfy her abuse fetishes. Thats literally why im here, for prolonged grooming and abuse.
No way I am walking down the same path as these fucks. Never.

>>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.

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 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.
