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.
Hell, I'd welcome even an actual collapse at this point. Fuck it. Fuck all of it. I wouldn't even mind if actual tyranids or some other genocidal alien race just rained down on this worthless planet and devoured us.

>>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.
Wizards feel terrible living like this and always try to find a way out, but normies… jesus fucking christ. I refuse to think about it. They deserve 100% of everything they get and I pray that wizards can escape this purgatory.

Don't get me wrong, underachieving is my life, but socializing is not. I've got a few of them that keep coming to me for their social needs too and it's absolutely draining.

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.

They will hate your guts as long as you work with them, but when one of you leave they will be emotional and wish you well. Strange creatures, just slaves to their genetics I guess.

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.

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.
