I posted this morning about starting my new job. It's now finished and HOLY FUCK, it's SO FUCKING BORING. By 3 pm I was falling asleep and literally considering quitting right there and going back to live with my parents.

The work is literally various IT projects. Literally like a corporate janitor but one step up. all the development is outsourced to Infosys and H1B people somewhere else. So basically a corporate janitor supervisor.

It's so boring. It's just so boring. The office is a dump. My half hour for lunch can't be spent significantly outside because it takes to long to get out and in the building. The office room only has ten people in it so there's no hiding.

My manager is a boomer guy who said I could leave my job an hour early today because it's my first day. Everyone is at least 10 years older than me.

I can't even tell what's going on because there are 50 different projects and workstreams and many contractors for each one.

I finished college last summer and went travelling

Either become an entrepreneur or up your skill set so you can do much, much better, otherwise you'll be in these type of jobs for a while.

I work in IT/SD field and every day is hectic as fuck, but I know what you mean.

Your SKILL does not matter you imbecile. It's about connections, resume, how you appear on the surface. Your SOCIAL skills matter. Your skills don't matter. The skills you APPEAR to have matter, but actual skills don't.

I have been in the workforce fulltime for going on 5 years. The culture does not ever get better but the money does get better. I still hate everything about wagecucking

Haha it sounds like Initech from Office Space. Is it a cube farm of software engineers?

No, it's not that type of company. The software engineers are elsewhere. But it is very large and impersonal, and I'm in a sub-division of a sub-division which is crammed in to a few floors of a building.

It's not even that it's boring that is the problem. It's that you have to spend 8 hours every day doing fuck all. And literally anyone could take your place, so it's not like you have to be there.
I lasted 3 months before I resigned. Fuck that shit. That was last year, I'm still living off the wages I earned back then.

Can we talk seriously for for a while in this thread?
OP is planting a serious problem.

Listen here. First World countries are sending work to Third World countries. I live in a Third World country (Argentina) and that means that work here is worth "1 dollar = 60 pesos" (local money). So work cost here is 60 times cheaper due to currency exchange. So that means that a lot of the world wide companies are placing offices in this country for some serious profit, and that means an increase in the amount of local jobs. (totally reasonable, I would do the same in that charge).

These jobs are usually low tier programming positions, which equals to wagecucking at it's finest. At this point, you can see everything OP is describing.

I'm not complaining (Economics student here, totally reasonable from my viewpoint). But this proposes a problem, the problem of the average worker that doesn't wants to be cucked.

I'm aware that this situation it's the same in the better economies of the world, but what are some alternatives for the average man? I'm certain that these positions are not beneficial for the common guy's interest who aims to be something more than a fucking cog in the big machine's wheel turning.

Holy fuck this, this is the worst part of any job, I just want to be away from work for a fucking half hour there is literally NOTHING worse than sitting in whatever shithole the company calls a breakroom with the other miserable wagies, but by the time you're out of WHATEVER place you're working at, it's fucking over

wtf? That's not right, if 60 pesos = 1 dollar then if they wanted it back in dollars theyd just get their profit/60 in dollars
