This looks like prison, but like without bars. Jesus christ. Imagine working in a fucking cube for 40 years. In the same, fucking, lonely, 3 walls, a chair, a monitor, a PC, FUCKING CUBE.

Literaly mind prison.

>>10510194
Yes, but you can usually pin your favorite Dilbert or Garfield cartoon on the wall.

>>10510194
I already sit at home in front of my computer every day. Might as well get paid to do it somewhere else

>>10510164
Well lads, just woke up, drinking my green tea and trying to fully wake up. Still very groggy. Had to take melatonin last night so I could actually fall asleep and wake up for work. I'm fortunate enough to have a flexible position that lets me come in any time I want and leave when I want. Unfortunately, the job doesn't pay very much, but I think that's a fair trade for having some semblance of freedom.

>>10510164
Kill me before this unknown chemical spill does.

I hate my job. Save me.

>>10510270
Fuck. Factory work. Never again. I won't go back, boys. I refuse. I will beg on the streets before I do that.

>>10510282
Its 22$ an hour. I'm willing to take a 4$ an hour pay cut to never do this garbage again.

The company i'm working for is publicly traded and treats its employees as terrible as the union allows.

Postan from the Employee kiosk PC. It's supposed to be for work stuff only and the browser doesn't even have a search bar you can type an address on. Lel I opened file explorer and typed 4chan.org/biz and ended up here. Break ends in 7 minuets.

>>10510194
what the fuck are you talking about?
it looks comfy as hell.
I have a desk with people next to me and I can't have my own private space like this guy.
Having a cubicle is my dream, so that people can leave me alone.
Since we have an "open office" floor plan, everyone bothers everyone all the time and don't let me work.

>>10510270
Sergei will rescue my fellow link pede.

>>10510282
I'm a machinist and it's swell. Better than salting fries at McDicks.

>>10510322
Been there and done that. It was only $16/hr but that was well over what my cost of living required, so I was able to stash two years worth of living by working a year and a half, and then just quit without warning

>>10510361
Yeah I have been there too. You develop a sense of pride for knowing and understanding things the average person doesn't, but at some point you get tired of breathing in metal particles, chemicals, coolant, or whatever, and getting shit on by engineering and management.

>>10510355
No linker brah.

>>10510363
I'm too skilled for the bullshit menial shit they have me doing. A temp could be doing what I'm doing. I though i was going to be maintaining machines. Instead i'm doing an insanely menial task that puts me to sleep on a daily basis.
Every time i ask if theres anything going on, or if the machines are running well. The 62 year old literal boomer says hes got it, so i learn absolutely nothing.

>>10510383
This, although i work for a golf ball manufacturer. Chemicals are worse though.

Well guys, looks like that yugioh cyberse deck I stayed up late the other night building was all for nothing. I just barely beat my gf, on a technicality. I kept getting trap and spell cards in my hand. By the time I finally got monsters on the field, she had a full board of high-level dragons that my Link monsters weren't even strong enough to put a dent in. I only beat her by pulling a Link monster out of my ass that just happened to be strong enough to beat one of her low-level attack position monsters and shave the difference off of her life points. If I didn't do that, she would have obliterated me on the next turn.

Guess I better put in extra hours at work to buy more cards. Fortunately this a job that lets you work exactly as many hours as you want.

>>10510164
What do you do?

>>10510465
Currently a tech recruiter for software companies

It's pretty comfy

>>10510164
Fuck I wish I had a cubicle. Every British company I've worked for has either been a soulless corporate machine - with an open plan office, or a small trendy startup - with an open plan office.
Fuck I hate open plan offices, you just feel naked all day and you can't scratch your balls.
The worst was when I worked in sales with 2 other salespeople in a cramped office with about non-sales people. Imagine cold-calling businesses with 20 people listening in total silence. I legit wouldn't have sucked so hard if I just could've had a private room, if it was commission based, why would salespeople need to be monitored?

>>10510655
That does sound comfy. You pretty much just make phone calls, right?

>>10510701
Not even, I just email people and message them on LinkedIn. Engineers are very busy people and email is the best mode of communication these days.

Minimal oversight, and usually I just listen to podcasts while lurking LinkedIn and shitposting in 4chan and Discord on the side.

>>10510164
was that when you first got your cube? looks empty

>>10510722
That's a good call. I don't understand why people try and sell a job over the phone when I'm not qualified for it or I don't want to do - I do actually read every single job offer I get sent if it has the word "Javascript" in it, but I don't have 5+ years of professional ASP.NET experience at the age of 23.

>>10510164
Don't forget to put this up on your wall so people know you're easygoing.

>>10510784
Unironically this would actually make me more popular at work. Small mom & pop business in a conservative area, the owner's son is always showing off his guns and walking down the hall with a rifle or something, and the guy in shipping is always using the company's ebay account to look at expensive knives lol

>>10510809
Two worlds, one family. I think I'd probably be physically restrained under citizen's arrest by coworkers and charged for hate crimes if I put this up in a central London office.

>>10510755
Yeah, no I actually try to target specific devs for specific roles.

My position is base + commission so I have an incentive to actually work.

>>10510164
Pretty comfy bros

How long is your commutes? Mine is like 5-10 minutes, and I go home everyday for lunch and have a hot meal/watch Dragon Ball Z. My office is kind of shitty though, everyone here is 45+ except for the summer students who are like 19 and will be gone at the end of the month.

I can work downtown tomorrow where people around my age (22) are, but then I’d have to commute like an hour everyday one way.

>>10511070
>tomorrow

Next year I mean

Buy Selfkey faggots I bought in 6 months before the 400% pump by following whales.

You never see KEY threads on biz for good reason

Buy in dyor

>>10511070
My commute is 10 minutes when I can take the interstate highway. But I don't like to take it when it's raining or snowing, because visibility is poor and the roads are slick and I generally like to play it safe. So it takes half an hour without the interstate because they are literally tearing up all the roads here for construction. They already straight up closed several main roads that I used to take. I hope they open them back up before winter.

Nothing better than shitposting from your office.

>>10511177
best feels

>tfw no cubicle
>have to share a tiny office room with my boss
>hes constantly invading my space and backseat driving me at random times while im trying to work
I just want a comfy cubicle cell
This is hell

If you didn't see my deleted post too bad

I've been browsing this God damn site since 2007

Only bizbros and anons are getting my advice fuck the rest

All in

>>10511070
About 90 mins each way, feels batman

Podcasts and audiobooks are lifesavers. I frame it as dedicated learning time that I otherwise wouldn't go out of my way to listen to.

i'm unironically shitposting from my job now

>>10511018
Very neat, what tower is that?

Get on my level. Putting your life on the line for globalist interests is the ultimate form of wagecucking.

>>10511070
My commute is a 12-minute walk. I will never live somewhere that requires me to travel more than 20 minutes
If I ever get a self-driving car, then I'll change my mind because I'll be able to do whatever I want while the car brings me to/from work

>>10511471
Nice picture. Reminds me of MGSV, kek. I love mountains and deserts

>>10511471
It really is. Not even a lot of money, plus it very often completely fucks your prospects of a future job or place in the world either through destroying you mentally, losing limbs, or just plain not teaching you the skills you need to survive in the real world. Only those who get out without mental & physical damage stand a chance, and they have to have already been "equipped" for the real world and general wage cuckery or business development. Otherwise not being in the military starts to drive them insane and they go back until they die or get discharged and never learn to lead a functional life.

Good morning to my west coast wagers that are just getting in.

>>10511516
>What is a PMC

>>10510164
Lads I had it made at my job, my own comfy corner office tucked away from everyone with a private bathroom and carpeted floor. I would literally just shut my door, take naps, draw and meditate and do the occasional work that popped up. I got moved back to the bull pen with all the other wagies and now have to sit in my new shittier office with my door open listening to gossip and pretending to be busy for the day. It could be worse I suppose but fuck I’m now realizing how good I had it.

>>10511718
Why did they move you? Who took your office?

>>10510655
who recruited you though? are there recruiters for recruiters? and what about for them? where does the buck stop?

>>10511764
Recruiters tend to buy ad space in bulk on job posting websites, and when they can't fill these with jobs, they just fill it with adverts for recruiter roles. If anything, it's the most apparent job on the market because of this. At least in the UK, like 50% of jobs advertised online are for recruiting so it's not too hard to fall into.

>>10511758
I’m not sure if they caught on to my slacking or if it was because they legitimately had to move several other employees into my old office since the other people were just working out of one of the spare board rooms. They’re packing 3 wagies in there like sardines Kek. The only reason I think they might have wanted me out in addition to the others needing the space is because I would shut my door for most of the day which not many other people do at our office(though the old occupants of that office did the same shit and shut the door since it was away from everyone).

>>10511764
I'm at a small company so right now it's literally me and the founder.

>>10511471
>>10511516
>>10511709
this. military contractors make a LOT of money in business with the gov. talk about gibs... i mean i know they're engineering bases n sheeit/organizing labor/doing high level strategizing, but that's the best route for a guy fresh outta the army by far. very lucrative.

Lunch time bump.

>>10510452
They're coming out with a new Cyberse structure deck next week. You should get some good support from there.

>>10512506
>lunch time
Speaking of lunch, how is everybody's lunch experience? Our office supplies some "healthy" snacks and fruit. Nothing too fancy so you can forget about having a proper meal. We've also got a bunch of Monster energy in the fridge so I'll get a photo of that to share later

>>10512606
Everyone at my work always makes a big deal out of lunch. They always order something huge and expensive, like steaks or wings or super fatty greasy pizzas, or burgers. I don't know how they ever have any money when they're eating out all the time. I just bring a small bag of crackers and an apple, and a bottle of water. Sometimes a couple squares of dark chocolate.

>>10511442
The Shard, in London Uk

>>10512606
Co-workers eat out every day, I'm trying to save money so I bring. On Fridays I usually grab lunch with them.

Whats the best way to find internships? Should I look online or actually walk into tech office buildings with my resume?

Is it over yet

>>10513181
Walk into a place you want to intern at and take down their help wanted sign when the manager asks what you’re doing say “you no longer need this I’m the man for the job” and give him a firm handshake.

>>10513811
it's like you actually want him to get the job.

I work at six flags magic mountain, ama.

>>10513759
Magic hour in an hour and a half here. Magic hour is 4pm, it's the final hour before I get to leave at five and it's like the Friday of the day. Feels good man

2 hours and 20 minutes

>>10514182
>>10514206
yes sirs

>>10514162
Do you work the rides? Do you have to learn any safety procedures or is it really just make sure everyone is strapped in and push the start button?

>>10514162
That's pretty cool; got any interesting stories? The more autistic they are the better

>>10514247
yes, we have to be trained and pass a test in order to do anything of importance.

>>10514494
We have pic-related at every ride for employees. Someone has to go to one of the food places to fill it up when it's empty. Thing is, there is no efficient way to fill these things up. we have to use one of the soda machines at the restaurants and fill up a cup like 30 times in order to get the water into the jug.
The other day, some guy somehow accidentally filled the jug up with Minute Maid instead of water. He didn't even realize until the supervisor found out and wrote him up.

Welp, it's 4:00 pm here. You know what that means
ITS POWER HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>10515279
fk yes

it's almost over bros

Well guys, it's 4:50 here.

We did it.

>>10515962
WE DID IT

My messy fucking office

>>10516034
Wow, you should clean that. Makes me feel stressed and dirty being in a messy environment.

>>10516044
Clean it about once a month and then it's like this after a few weeks. If you actually do stuff you'd know the feel.

Time to go home, but I’m still in the office

>>10516104
You're on biz

omg I hate these office boxes where everyone just walks around saying stupid shit. So glad I work alone now in my own office.

>>10514725
>Thing is, there is no efficient way to fill these things up.
Most people use an outdoor spigot.

>>10516034
Your office is a disgusting mess. Why do you have a rack on your desk? What a shithole.

>>10510339
>Having a cubicle is my dream

>>10516303
i meant that there is no efficient way to fill them up at work.

>>10516034
>entire rack just in a cubicle desk
could your company not afford a fucking closet and laptop?
good lord

I work at the largest independent auto auction in America. Every Wednesday is the day of the auction. Boomer and misc immigrant cesspool. One boomer driving a car has a heart attack, accelerates to 50 hitting two dealers and another car. Multiple fatalities and injuries. God damn this American Economy is booming.

>>10518253
Correction: the economy is BOOMERING.

>>10510339
>Having a cubicle is my dream
Damn bro. That's a rough course in life. Imagine spending 5 years of college studying to work in a gossip-filled drama workplace that is equivalent to being tortured. Some people have kids before they realize how their cubicle sucks, and then they have to spend 20 more years on that garbage bin. Oof.

Or I don't know I could be wrong and you might like it.

I don't want my shit just sitting on the desk.
I just spent a week out of the office expanding a wireless network. Of course everything is a fucking mess.

>>10511070
40 mins each way if you follow all laws. 30 if you speed down this 4 mile stretch of road that everyone speeds down. It’s long and straight with few inlets. 55 limit becomes 70 easy

its thursday and i called in sick
i kinda feel guilty but whatever

>>10518253
Adesa?

>>10518855
it's not a breakroom sink. we literally use one of the soda machines that are used to get the guests their drinks. I doubt they would bother to buy a hose for every ride.

>>10510164
First day as a teacher. Making 20$/hr its ok and more than I need to live. Should be an easy job, but honestly seems really boring to me. I'd have gone into the military if it wasn't so fucking corrupt and I didn't have a family/kid.

Does life just suck and that's all there is too it? Maybe I have ADD from too many video games.

I don't want to do this stupid fucking presentation tomorrow

Not my picture but you get the point. Does working in an office/building make you guys suicidal? I dont think I could do it

>work blue collar
>sell your joints & overall muscular health for cash
>physically too exhausted at the end of day to do anything but play shit vidya

>work white collar

>>10519446
Forgot pic because brainlette

I work from home doing QA Testing and freelance writing. Used to work in a cube job until everyone was laid off. I set my own hours, but I try to get everything in from Sun-Wed so I can work on other shit
Been doing this the past 5 years, has really fucked me up socially.

>>10519555
Working in an office with 45 year old boomers has fucked me up. I’m always angry now. I wasn’t like this at my other job where there were people my age.

Union carpenter in Canada I work maybe 4 hours out of my 8 hour shift and spend the rest standing around or chain smoking. So boring it's driving me insane but dat $57 an hour is hard to give up

Fuck me almost closing time

>tfw screens constantly fully exposed by almost all angles

>>10519610
Is it because of the topics they talk about or just that they're annoying boomers? I've worked in an office with 50+ people and because I was much younger, they didn't associate with me. I preferred that over working with people my own age because they always tried to start such stupid drama

>>10516003

Pour up, sip, head shot, sip
Sit down, sip, stand up, sip
Pass out, sip, wake up, sip
Faded, sip, faded, sip

>>10519683
They’re so full of shit and fake. For example, some dumb boomer who sits to the right of me is the biggest yes-man in existence. He also constantly brings up how he used to chart stocks in 87 and he seriously knows nothing about financial markets. He also speaks as if he has so many connections to big whigs, but it’s so obvious he’s full of it.

And the jokes. Just so fucking lame. I have to fake smile so much that I’ve actually stopped pretending to laugh.

No staceys around. No bro-tier people to shoot the shit with. It’s soul wrenching. I need to re-locate ASAP.

>>10519673
at this point, why even have the little dividers?

>>10519798
*crack*
*sip*

Yep, made $2 today

why cant nice things happen to me

>>10519736
>No staceys around. No bro-tier people to shoot the shit with. It’s soul wrenching.
i feel you
my place has a ridiculously high turnover rate so the only people staying are 40+ year olds who have stuck with this place for 20-40+ years already. Theres a fucking guy in his late 80's who wont retire. He's literally just a barely walking knowledge bank since he cant do any real work. New blood only uses this place for stepping stones or just leave because management is full of jackasses.
We can rarely get a group of people to go out drinking even once a month
Dont even get me started on the women, or lack of. We use to have an internship program so we'd get some cute college girls but that got gutted two years ago. It's so fucking boring now

So the floorplan has little squares, so the square footage is easy to calculate, so upper management can find out your cost per square foot.
