It's not bad I just hate working for someone that's not me

I have an easy ass job but i make minimum wage

I deal with rednecks and their broken 80's chevy 350 all day. I hate them all. I want to burn that autoparts store to the ground

I started my own handyman business... love being my own boss.. making my own hours... choosing the work i want to do...

i like my job. im a pathologist. good pay, short hours and i never see patients. people in the lab are nice to work with.

Im an engineer in consumer products

I want to fucking explode. might bring a gun to work and kill a few people I hate then end myself

Meh, the only part I hate is waking up early and commuting like an NPC

Crayon eaters of the Air Force. Did you wear your PPE for windexing the canopy? Would'nt want QA raping you for forgetting it.

im a locksmith

its miserable

you deal with low iq, practically subhuman husks of atrophied brain and rolling plains of flesh all day

but remember anons

your real job is to use your mcjob to hit your own financial goals

if daddy doesnt have money you have to go it it yourself

it sucks fucking balls and you will eat shit for a few years, but if you play the long game, if you use your boss just like he uses you, if you focus on your goal and make progress toward it as often as possible, you will find a happy life

but gambling it away on crypto is not the way to do it -- you can make more money more consistently trading real stocks, and you can do it a lot faster

stay strong anons

i used to be almost 300 lbs, not a penny to my name, no girls, no friends, no life. i'm about to break 170, i have more money in the bank than most people in this country and i've fucked some bad bitches.

it works, and you can do it, but you have to make a plan. have the attitude PRIVATELY that your boss can eat shit and go fuck himself but when you go home go right the fuck to your goals and your purpose.

Hey, you ever file those OSHA complaints?

>>11492512
I've had my finger on the button, but i don't know if i can live with putting 200 people out if work l. Possibly for months. We've been bugging the company now and putting it through the union. We're starting to actually have dialogue with management. As i write this, i have a complaint form filled out and ready to go. My conciense is getting in my way.

>>11492077
I wage at lowes in the garden center. It's really easy usually, but boring. And they've been having me work inside lately or go out on delivery, which I fucking hate. Also, boomers are the main customers, and I hate boomers. I'm quitting tommorow.

I work as a night security guard.

Good: Extremely comfy, not a lot of interaction with people, very quiet, can do comfy /nightwalks/

Bad: minimum wage, dead-end, no prestige (even though I don't care about impressing others)

>>11492394
this is a good post. you either exploit your boss or he exploits you. Life is zero sum. winners and losers in almost every situation.

i spend at least 2.5 hours of my time at work doing my own thing, studying charts and sending emails for my small business. Im going to escape this rat race.

>>11492543
Do it it's funny

im a freelance writer I work from home and make 50k a year
I unironically think my job aint all that bad. I almost never talk to clients face to face. sometimes they pay for muh hotel to go to conferences and shit. and when I roll up to their offices every couple of months they treat me like royalty (scarcity makes you more valuable faggots). its like being a neet except I got shit to do and make money. I havent had a real job in 6 years and would probably kill myself if I had to get up early in teh morning and commute with subhumans and all that shit you wagies put up with .

I still cannot say that I hate my job.

I'm just completely mediocre or worse and remain employed probably because midwestern engineering firms can only recruit from midwestern universities, where the tiny portion of exceptional students go to the coasts to get paid double and everyone else is even worse than me

i hate the job so much that i actually work to make the time go faster

but im all in on link so probably only working for a few months desu

Anon, I.. Thank God you're LARPing and didn't actually buy into this scamcoin.

My job isn't terrible I get to do whatever I want. But I'm tired of waking up early and sitting in wagie traffic and having 5/7 days of my week revolve around being here.

Feeling very optimistic about LINK so it's only a matter of time.

Job's alright, pretty much a full time student, my pay right now is shit though and I'm pretty much relying on back pay to be able to get back home for the holidays.
Thanks phoenix pay system.

I hate my job.

I'm a Desk Monkey.
I get paid more than 90% of my friends.
I don't have to be outside when it's really shitty out.
I have about 4 weeks of vacation a year.
I have a week of personal time a year.
I have like 2 weeks of sick time a year.
The job is simple but incredibly tedious.

I fucking hate my life. This isn't how I saw myself as an adult when I was a child, I wanted to make a difference in this world.

>>11495354
Time to start shopping around for other jobs.

Then once you've got an offer or two in hand, notify your boss and see if they make a counteroffer on your salary.

Then once they make a counteroffer, take it back to the new place and have them bump up your salary even more.

Then take the new job to fuck over your boss in addition to humiliating them.

>>11494666
i was in a similar situation, being the best out of a pool of incompetents. Worked out alright until my incompetent manager made me design a $50m facility and half-assed getting me any help on it.

I don't
>work in state-of-the-art R&D
>do process engineering all day
>learn new stuff every day
>manage operations without the routine stuff
>manage people on the technical side without all the paperwork
>50 holidays a year

The downside is my pay being a bit lower than my former classmates since I got twice the amount of holidays

>>11495743
Sounds like one hell of a growth opportunity lol

>>11494666
You’re /that guy/

>>11495786
grew me right out of the company. no fucking way I'm staying on board to see my little experiment try and get built

Im a trade wagie. Apprentice though. Im treated like a literal nigger every day. Send help

>>11492077
A lot.
It's a small enterprise, offering instalaltion and maintenance for photovoltaic generators (both domestic and industrial)
At the moment it's me, two technicians, my two bosses and some poor girl who is emmployed until near-slavery conditions to sell a vaguely related product to keep pigeons away from the modules and gets paid a pittance for each piece sold.
The two bosses are always absent or working on some other of their billion projects, they are serious workaholics who get up at 06:00 to do a million things before they go to bed at 01:00 and do it all over again the next day.
This leads to them trying to push all responsibilities on me without giving me proper training or background information. This also leads to them not listening to me when I explain them some situations and why I can or can't take care of them, or why I need them to pay additional attention or at least give me a solid basis.
One of them is also quite dishonest with their clients and their suppliers both. He's always looking for ways to cheat everyone out of anywhere from a couple hundreds to a couple grands of sh€kels.
This applies to us employees too. Unpaid overtime is a routine.

Cont.

>>11496695
>>11492077
All of this would not even be so bad, but I'm only employed 24 hours a week. 4 hours every morning and 2 2-hour afternoons because they were afraid I would find another job in my free time. (meaning no more overtime and no more being available on Whatsapp at every hour of the day) I think all the responsibilities they push on me would merit at least a 40 hours contract so I had actual time to deal with their bullshit
I am also as of now employed with a fixed-date contract. The woman employed before me was told that she wouldn't come to work anymore 4 days before her contract ended, and they forced her to take paid leave for those days so I could take her place asap.
As >>11492394 said, fuck'em. Assholes who want to fuck over everyone for pennies. I'm there only for as long as it suits me, and already thinking of starting my own business next year.

>>11492077
A decent amount. It’s decent money though, and I’m using a pay increase to buy more crypto so maybe it’s temporary?

>>11492663
No you’re not.

>>11492309
this lol

>>11492077
Dollar store. Main problem is that the bottom line is so fucking stringent.

But it sure beats fast food.

I automated my excel monkey job in VBA and then gave the rest of my responsibilities to the interns. I f5 4chan all day which is also what I do at home.

I still don't want to sit here all day. I wish they would pay me for existing.

About to end my six year security guard career.

I have two more shifts left then I'm gone. It was an easy job, but I've been hating it the last two years.

Would rather go full NEET than wageslave ever again.

being a NEET is shit, maybe take a break if you have the money saved up, but doing nothing all day is depressing and eats at you very quickly

>>11497182
Yes, I remember.

I'm both elated and anxious.

At least I'll have time to leave the house now

>>11497182
>>11497224
Who thinks being a NEET has to be depressing and boring?
There's so much shit to do when you have 100% of free time. From cultivating your hobbies to volounteering.

>>11497182
>>11497224
Being a neet is atleast equal to wageslaving.
You need a part-time job or something atleast.
Go to Uni when you live in Europe.
Doing nothing is just as bad as waging and not good for you.

That being said my it service job is so fucking boring, there's days like today where I do nothing for like five hours and just look at the clock, and whish I had something to do.

Honestly i like it and the people are cool but the pay and area is shit. Work is fine if it's all male and there are no betafags who can't take banter or sabotaging old fags that hate millenials. Trades muh boys. Or small biz.

What kind of writing? I was a newspaper reporter for two years now i work as a writer in the development office at a prep writer. My salary is a bit lower than what youre making (46k) but i have like great benefits that bump it up about another 10k in value.

Anyways..i want to add on some freelance work for extra income and was wondering where to start

>>11495785
That's good man. Working more is the dumbest way to get more money. Just wageslave for bare necessities and use the rest of the time to do something that will make you rich

>>11497182
Man I remember when I was a student I had no problem filling up my day. I actually felt that I was wasting time studying for exams instead of actually doing something useful. Some people are not made to be slaves imho. If I mucked around for 5 years instead of studying I'd probably be self employed by now. Instead I am a fucking wagecuck.

I'ds okay, but I have the feeling I'd not be so enthusiastic if I didn't genuinely like my boss and co-workers. Those two alone can make or break a demanding job like this. Other than that, though, it keeps me in shape and it gives me money.

>>11493845
What niche? How hard was it to break through and sell/coldpitch?

I'm bartender. I make like $4.00 an hour, but I'll make like $80-200 in tips per night. I fucking hate working here. I'm too old to be working with all these fucking kids.
I want to leave, but I don't know how. This is the only job I've ever had, so I feel like I'm fucked.

Bartenders make 11 EUR an hour here on average, but there's no tipping culture in Finland.

I work in Data Science. The actual analysis & providing insight for the business unit is fun and rewarding, but 90% of it is having to rewrite data pipelines because the old code is mostly incompatible with the new analysis we want to run. That 90% fucking blows. I have to move to management pronto.

I'm a cashier in a grocery store.
But I'm union, so I get a solid wage, plenty of vacation time.
The customers are stupid.
I mean, 'had a lady return salt because she was distraught to learn it was high in sodium' stupid. But they're stories I can tell that aren't about video games or other autistic bullshit. I can talk to people around me in a relatable way because I have stories like 'yeah one time a guy caught on fire'. It's fucking great.
Working for someone else isn't that big a deal. I'd be manager if I wanted, they've offered, I don't want to work 10-11 hours a day for more money and less union protection.

Job's repetitive as fuck, but then there's weird shit that happens and it's great.

>>11492394
How do you use your boss?

>>11500109
not hard, really
one of my main things is to leave tiny things intentionally undone so the manager can walk over and tell me to do them
It takes me 5 seconds, and the manager feels like he did managing, and thus continues to be worthy of his job.
Basic shit.

>tfw have fucking €250 a month disposable after all utilities/rent/food
I do like my job a lot, tending crops is one of my passions, but for the working hours (legit 6:30am-6:30pm six days a week) and the very hard physical labour, there's gotta be a better way to save up enough to get my own land in the future

Currently a wagekek commuting into London... Hate this lifestyle

>>11501012
commuting to central london truly is a soul destroying experience
nothing quite matches it
t.worked in the city for 8 years, 1 1/2 hr commute into central 5 days a week

I love my job. Mfg Engineer. Have daily, weekly, monthly, yearly challenges. Get paid well, well respected. Not in charge of anyone (thank fucking god, operators are dumb). Sub five min commute.Even with all of that I don't plan on working for someone else for much longer. 35 now, will have my on bis within the next year. Old boy was right, exploit your PB&J job long enough to make your own!

>>11492077
This is one of the better jobs I have had, but the only reason picked up i.t as a career was to help my family with money and have been doing it since high-school since I was too poor to go to university. I have a sibling who is special needs and my mother died in July. I emailed my dad about it and his only response was "ok." I have no other family and I have no choice but to keep working and am too mentally drained to do anything else. I absolutely despise every second of it and I hate every single person I speak to at work, even people who are kind to me. If my link / xmr / btc stack doesn't at least give me enough return to take a gap year in the next year I feel that I will snap very soon. My days are filled with bitterness and bile and nothing else.

Everything is neatly organized on dashboards, if somebody needs something I just change the filters(or tell them to do it themself because I'm "busy"). The only problem is that I'm bored as fuck and browsing the good old 'chan is not really healthy to say the least.

>>11492077

You guys should have a stupid questions general thread like they have it in /g/.

Anyway: My question is...

What are great books on sales and being a salesperson??? Fundamentals, techniques, examples, anedoctes, stories, etc...

Don't give me scamming books with outstanding sensationalist titles like "Become a millionaire with sales in 5 hours!" From my experience learning any skill is boring, like reading a textbook and it's not something popular or that people find enjoyable doing. For example, people love listening to music, but usually find really tiresome to read music theory. I also don't care if the author says things normies might find psychopathic and manipulative as long as it works for selling.

>coworkers mostly pretty smart, and easy to work with
>except a few fucking RETARDED guys who make life harder for the rest of us
>have no business even working here, were probably hired by meddling middle-managers who got bored and wanted to be part of the hiring process

There's just enough frustrating shit that could easily be avoided, like hiring retard-tier guys who slow the rest of us down, that stops me from really enjoying the job.

Also I recently starting paying for a parking spot($250/month) instead of taking the train($90/month), and it cut my commute from an hour to 25 minutes. Best decision I've ever made.

>HVAC Engineer
>That means I'm not very good at engineering
>Draw ducts and pipes in Revit and decide how big the cold air boxes need to be
>Get paid $28.50/hr and usually work more than 40 hours per week. I get paid for overtime.

Some of my coworkers are constantly stressed out about their jobs but to me it's pretty easy and chill. It's a good job, as far as jobs go, but still if I tripped and fell on a million dollars today, I wouldn't show up tomorrow.

I've got about 17 places within the area to start hitting up here this week.

>>11503232
If you're good at your job, here's what you do:

>get an offer for a better job
>go to management, tell them you want to negotiate for more pay and a better work-life balance
>aka less grinding and more management work
>if they say no just take the better job

tl;dr literally every company is hiring, you have more options than your shit tier slave job

Cashier, it isn't that bad. Saving up for community college although I don't know what to pursue. I'm a seasonal NEET and I hate having a fixed schedule. Perhaps Uber or Doordash might be perfect for me, although I've heard they don't make shit. But minimum wage is fine by me as long as I'm happy
