I'd still rather have money and be here than be broke and be here. This is two different problems at work.

Are you talented at anything? How do you make your money?

>two weeks into new job
>co workers already angry about mistakes I make
It's over isn't it

>Be Me
>High School Drop out - GED Kid
>Spend 10+ years as a high pressure Welder/Millwright

>Have some time off - go back to work
>Start first job back in power plant with folks I grew up with
>I'm then 37 boss is like 32
>Ask me what my goals are for the year
>I'm going to bench press 300 lbs this year OP.

>Clean Bolts for Mechanics on my equipment to show that I'm not a lazy fuck even though I'm an engineer - Mechanics love me.
>Boss tells me I have a terrible review

>Management Fires me on PIP
>Get new job at another industrial site
>Lead Engineer can't read micrometers
>I measure shims and fix equipment alignment problems Expecting performance recognition.
>Get given a more (((Challenging Problem)))

Why is wage cucking like this ?

my new job just fired me for not wanting to work free until the contract is arriving.
he suggested I could take the hours as vacation but I declined since I don't work for fun.
no contract no work

Every morning after my alarm clock goes off

How much in savings until one can stop waging? Getting real tired bros

Any manager /biz/ bros here? Can you hear me out and give me some advice?

>Be me, 1st year in a manufacturing job
>suck and hate it, get chewed out by boss couple times for sucking
>see opening for new role that I want
>talk to that manager to get more info
>now I have to tell my current manager that I want to move
Would managers generally be supportive of his members that are underperforming moving to a different dept? If he wants me gone without firing me and I move to a different dept I feel like that would be a win win. Or would he be a dick and tell the new manager that I suck and shoudn't move?

Do you feel the existential dread building up? The corporate hellhole needs you to further build their wealth! Wagies assemble, the 1% needs you!

from +15.91 to -38.32

>co-workers keep trying to exceed the KPIs management sets for us
>now management have said they want us to complete 14 new deals a day instead of 12
>everybody hates it but they keep trying to hit the KPIs anyway
>management’s excuse is ‘we did a study overtime and from the numbers we can see 14 new deals a day is achievable’
>technically it is but you have to rush through everything like a dog
>a couple years ago it used to be 9 deals a day
>there reasoning for going from 9 to 12 was that our computer system hadn’t been programmed to pick up issues with an application that needed to be addressed
>the truth is they were never hard to pick up anyway
What are you supposed to do in this situation? Change jobs? How do you make sure you don’t end up in the same spot you are in just with a different employer?

>muh productivity
If faggot companies and executives want more productivity don't punish your staff for it. You've created an environment where the optimal move is to do just enough to keep your job while never going above and beyond.
>do more work
>get assigned more work
>feedback loop continues until you're doing 10x more than the average coworker, but now you're counted on to do so much that if you ever slack off management instantly notices and is on your ass about it even if you're still doing 8x more than the average coworker who is flying under management's radar
>for all of your trouble you will get a 3% annual raise instead of the standard 2.5%
>also that promotion you wanted went to your slacker coworker who goes golfing with the boss every couple weeks and is in the same fantasy football league as him
>sorry Wagie of the Year, we can't promote you because you're too valuable to the company in your current role
As for my productivity, you're getting exactly the same out of me (just enough to keep my job) whether I'm in the office or at home. The difference is I will find a new job at a company that embraces remote work if you try to make me report to an office while working remotely means I'm too comfy and lazy to bother with job searching. That's how much I hate dealing with HR roasties, it's enough to discourage me from applying to jobs short of extreme circumstances. My skills earn enough to live well with any company in my industry and you couldn't pay me enough to move back to some pozzed shithole city so I can report to the wage cage again. Thus, the #1 priority becomes 100% WFH.

sounds like a problem for comerical real estate office buildings.

The place selling the food keeps open

Normally, we've heard what the yearly bonus multiplier is going to be, by now. We have billions under management. Or had.

We're fucked, and boss man is just thinking of the best way to break the news, right? Nobody actually has any money and the tide is just about gone. It was nice knowing you, /biz/ bros. I'll see you in the Vegas tunnels.

What is it like to be rich and not have to work? I just dream of having 7 figures earning interest that pays my bills.

You missed the point of the exercise. OP list is the absolute bare minimum that you have to cover in order to not be homeless or unable to get anywhere. You can also add to the list school debt and medical expenses. What you listed are hedonistic pleasures which are extras.
