/biz/ - Business & Finance

Yep. I just stand in a cooler dragging stacks of cheese. I like to just stand still doing nothing 80% of the time while listening to music. I'm so glad I didn't go to school and work in some farty office.

I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Im wagecucking now my wagie friend.

I dont wage cuck anymore, I used to work part time at a (((jew)))lery store but that is shut down and now i just sell stolen videos and photos from porn sites to cucks on dating websites.

>>26459996
is wagecucking that much worse than uni ?
Isnt a lot of wagecucking just eating shit from higher ups,looking at emails for an hour,shitting out your work in 3 hrs and trying to look productive for another 3hrs ?

>>26460221
That sounds degenerate. Would rather wageslave.

>>26460313

>I'm so glad I didn't go to school and work in some farty office
If you think being educated or being uneducated results in either a shitty office job or life in a fridge, you would never have been able to obtain a degree anyway.

I have Monday tuesdays off. It’s nice in a way because I can go do shit without it being crowded. Since everyone is waging mon-fri

>>26460221
Interesting story. How?

>>26460406
found a nice profile of a couple doing high quality porn from russia, exclusively posted on russian speaking interwebs, lots of masturbation and blowjobs.
The rest is rather simple, make a profile on an escort website, say you arent doing real dates until lockdown is lifted and sell videos of yourself for 10-25 bucks each.
Made about $5000 in the last two months, even have one cuck that buys underwear from me every other week for 50+ shipping.

>>26460515
Please tell me you wear the underwear and he buys it.

>>26460286
Depends. I work for a small business and there is literally no stopping. I could work 24/7 and it would never end.

I got drunk yesterday alone watching anime and I was happy for the first time in weeks. Yurucamp heals my soul

>>26460582
I dont wear it, i usually just wash it so its not new anymore spray a touch of my gfs parfume on it and seal it in a vaccuum bag
customer was always happy

>>26460672
Does your gf know you do this?

>>26460313
I agree. Whats a man without his pride and dignity

>>26460672
Damn. I wanted him to think he was getting female used panties and its really just some guys gross ass crack in it.

Nailed it but the ratios can change depending on what you do. Also depends where you go for University.. if it's anywhere like the US then avoid, can't believe the debt they're put in to for degree level education.

>>26459996
I'm supposed to be working 6 hours from now yet I'm getting drunk. Somehow I've frauded my way into a high paying job but the responsibility is eating at me. I'm going to quit and get an easier job once my portfolio is healthy enough.

>tfw I actually like my job
American goy here, make fun of me

heh, keep up kid...

selling gold and silver to boomers, which i technically still do just for the lockdown its now online only and the sales are like 10% max from when the store is open

>>26460515
Interesting, how do you receive the money? Just a PayPal account?

>>26460859
Just ride it out Anon. Get your portfolio to a healthy level, then just start phoning it in and putting your entire check towards deep in the money LEAPS. You can probably stretch it out for another year. When you feel the ax coming down on you, ask your boss for guidance and a mentoring track. That will buy you another three months.

Just went on coonbase and bought a bunch of different shitcoins all under $1. Spent about 3k how fucked am I? I don’t even know the names of them all.

>>26460942

to buy GME so i can stop wagecucking*
yes

>>26460888
what do you do?
i'd say liking your tasks is fine, liking your job/employer is rare and should be analyzed so you're not getting fucked over

getting paid to shitpost on /biz/ from home, feels comfy

>>26460582
Where do they send you the money? I don't think it's paypal, or is it? I have tons of vids from one of my friends and I might be able to use them.

>>26459996
I got laid off, so I'm a NEET now I guess.
It's pretty comfy albeit boring but I guess that's a fair trade off for not having to deal with shitty employees, customers, and really any of the other responsibilities that came with my job.
Now that the $300 kicker is in play it's practically as much as my base pay which is all I was getting before anyway.

>>26461890
i have been without UI for going on 3 months now. The office is trying to screw me so badly that i am considering hiring legal counsel, who i won't have to pay unless I win. Thoughts?

I haven't been "denied" i've been basically soft locked out of the process despite being eligible because I worked in two states last year. So each state wants the other to foot the bill, and have been actively trying to get the other state to pay. Meanwhile I have been eating away at my once sizeable savings. thoughts on legal counsel? wtf should i do anons? we're talking about damn near 10k in unpaid backpay at this point.

>>26461861
Nice, I work at a small startup right now since I'm fresh out of college, basically all the responsibility is mine and the pay is intern tier. Will make the move to a bigger company hopefully in mid 2021

>>26462088
Just avoid old school corporate places. If you have to wear a shirt and tie, that's a massive red flag frend.

I work nights as a machinist, the boss asked me to to A then B every night over an 8 hour shift and i usually clean it up in half the time. Low expectations and hitting it hard means vidya and showers on company time.

>>26462041
Dude, yes. You need to get on that shit. I can't imagine going 12 weeks without a paycheck let alone when you factor the opportunity cost of all that money you already had + could have been investing since 3 months ago and the returns you'd have seen.
In 3 months you could have at least doubled your money in almost any crypto that isn't a shitcoin

I was one of the >anotherdayworkingathomedoingabsolutelynothing folks but now my manager wants to have a 1 on 1 with me with no topic. I'm thinking it's over lmao.

>>26459996
i only work on wednesdays

>>26459996
yep I'm ready
good thing I'm a high payed finance chad, work 50 hours a week but earn more than both my parents combined so it's worth it

>>26462823
how did you get into finance and why? seems really fucking boring who has a passion for that shit

>>26459996
at least muh market is open when I'm wagecucking still probably will kms

>>26462913
I've always been interested in money and business
I studied economics with a major in finance/accounting
don't get me wrong the job does get boring some times but there are also quite a lot of exciting and interesting moments
I also have to wear a suit (company policy) but I don't mind since I like to wear them

>>26461867
You’re pathetic. Have fun going into debt because you’re completely financially illiterate

I have a great career, I don't necessarily love my job all the time, but there are other times where I'll work 17hr days just because I'm having fun.

It would be nice to be filthy rich, but I've got a house and a waifu who is over the moon to have my kids. I could lose every cent I have in crypto and worst case is I tuck tail, up my 401k contributions, make safe bets on the stock market and settle for retiring as a comfortably middle-class 40-50y/o.

Don't lose yourselves to this place anons, there's a lot more to life than lambos and whores

>>26459996
ah yes, can't wait for another day of working from home for 2h and billing the client for 8h

I have no desire to go back to work when the time comes and I’ve got no desire to find another job and haven’t learned any new skills while being unemployed to further my chances at getting a better job.
I have two major investments right now and if they don’t pan out I’ll probably just crash my car into a wall

I have a ten pack of sugar free monsters in the car ready for the work week. Got a box of nescafe instant coffees too since I don’t trust the keurig at work.
I started only drinking tea on my days off, and only drinking monster and coffee when i’m in my cage.
Was scared about a heart attack guys.
Sending love to my fellow wagies, especially shifties.
WHERE YOU AT SHIFTIES

I had a Monday off job before and I kind of miss it. Like what you mentioned, no crowds, pick a store and barely anyone in it. Go to the nature trails and only a few people there. Even the people that were out on Mondays was a different crowd.

>>26459996
Yeah, I am. I woke up at 6:15 ready to work today. Made breakfast. Lockdown means we turn away the retard customers wanting a tiny 20 year old plastic part, BTFO

Try that but for 8 years. One financial hit after another. I have never had 5 figures in my account. My hopes and dreams have hit so low that I now aspire for 30 - 50k so I can buy a small plot of land somewhere build a cabin with trees and rocks, using the internet as a resource.

>is wagecucking that much worse than uni ?
much worse in a way that no uni student is actually open to understanding. odds are you’ll be working in a shit place that operates off a thousand wink wink nudge nudges where everybody’s desperately trying not to do work while also appearing like they’re doing the most work. the people who win this fight are wannabe type-a boomers who will whine and cry and run to their boss if they ever have to lift a finger.

you will have “flexible” deadlines that change every time you ask about them. if something goes wrong, everybody will start pointing fingers until the buck stops with the one person with a modicum of integrity.

your bosses will tell you that you’re doing great, keep up the great work - until performance reviews come around, in which you will be eviscerated for every mistake they can think of as an excuse not to give you a raise.

you will use your time off and then get yelled at for not answering your emails.

let’s say you manage to get some work done. great. now that work is in an approval process and whoops, the guy whose job is ensuring process is adhered to didn’t tell you part of the process! that’s on you anon, you’re not being a team player and not effectively communicating.

No, I'm writing my bachelor's so it's maybe around 2h of work a day.

My father runs a 5 million a year business in a niche industry.

He hired me to maintain some spreadsheets and answer phone calls / set up meetings. I make 120k a year working maybe 10 hours a week. Pretty comfy. Work with your family lads.

What's your job and how did you get there? I've been thinking of getting into financial planning but not comfort with my earnings being mainly commission. I'm a government leech right now and the job is comfy easy but pay is obviously not great.

I am. I'm waking up early to go into work it's better than being home with my family at this point in time.

Currently on the clock at the dildo shop I work at.

I’ve had 1 customer so far today in the 3 hours I’ve been on the clock. I’ve mostly been on /biz/. Sundays are sooooooo slow.

>>26460380

>>26465577
Man I work for the feds but have to do production quota work. Shit sucks. The ONE saving grace is that I get to keep my DC salary and work in the south.

Why is it so soul crushing bros?

I don't mind wage cucking that much. I just wish I had a fucking good paying job though. I would gladly work at McDonald's if I was making $30 and hour or some shit.

If anyone in this thread reproduces, you deserve every ounce of misery in your life for forcing someone new to repeat it.

Noooooo

Working is pretty comfy in Finland, one of the only good things here. It's a high trust society so no one really hounds you, I probably do like 3-4 hours of work per day at home and then browse the web rest of the time. putting almost all money to stocks and some to crypto

>>26468905
Based. Working class should just stop reproducing.

Work in the army, cant wait to get out when my contract ends in 2028

Nope. I'm calling in sick tomorrow, when I'm probably not that sick. First time in my life I've done it, but I'm tired of my fucking coworkers getting 2 cozy weeks off paid for the sniffles hoping my covid test comes back positive so I can play video games for 2 weeks.

>>26468905
I'm planning to buy tons of stocks and give my kids a decent life through dividends when I die. They hopefully won't be spoiled, but fuck working 5 days a week for 60 years. If they prove themselves to be financially responsible and not blow their money, they can live off divvies and capital gains.

When I started working after graduating I was excited. I though through hard work I would climb up the ladder and innovate in my field in various ways
Turns out I was wrong about everything.

I work tonight and have 4 days off tomorrow.

But what's the fucking point. Just play stupid video games and watch faggot ass anime while getting drunk. What a fucking waste of a life. I wish Nazi Germany won WW2 and started implementing eugenics programme so subhumans like me would've been wiped off the earth and would've never had to experience consciousness.

>make way more than 6 figures if you count the part of my wage that goes to a pension plan (that's matched by my company dollar for dollar)

idk, I'd probably kill myself if I was in the same office all day everyday, everytime I go through an office setting on the way to finding the room with the roof hatch, the people there all look so sad and dejected. You can almost feel it in the air. I think vitamin D deficiency might be one of the problems, because they're all chalk white like op's pic with sunken eyes, but I'm generally pretty upbeat and optimistic. The only real difference is that I am outside all day long. But Im in a setting where there's a very real chance of me dying if I fuck up, which you think should depress me more, but it doesnt

Anybody else works in retail over here? I want to kill my customers, boomers are the worst. I fucking hate every second of it.

>>26471604
>make way more than 6 figures
I meant make over $100k, not a mil lol. My wage fluctuates quite a bit depending on the kind of jobs Im sent out to, some years its like $70k, some $120k (ie, Im out of town all year long building all the facilities for a mine/oil rig/hydrodam/nuclear reactor/any big subsidized industrial project)

doubtful, I dont really do terribly labour intensive stuff, all my work is finishing work, mostly with .24g steel pieces that only weight 10-15lb at most. We don't do much heavy lifting, and basically have the greenlight to rent boom lifts, telehandlers, bobcats, get scaffolds/swingstages put up (we dont build that shit, there's another company that does it), order cranes, etc whenever we want to make our jobs easier. I have tickets to operate all those machines and equipment as well.

But ya, if I was in some other trades like roofing or drywalling or something, my body would 100% be falling apart in my 40s

HAHA, jokes on you, I am at work now, NIGGER!

>>26472032

I hope you're right, anon. For your sake. I see many electricians etc. with functional voice disorders as a result of their line of work and they don't tend to consider their work very labor intensive either. A lot of it has to do with which positions you tend to work in, not the actual work load itself. Electricians tend to end up with a lot of tension in their neck and shoulder regions which comes with a lot of secondary consequences. You tend to breathe in a lot of stuff that's bad for your health as well at most construction sites.

>your bosses will tell you that you’re doing great, keep up the great work - until performance reviews come around, in which you will be eviscerated for every mistake they can think of as an excuse not to give you a raise.

Damn this hits close to home. My boss tried to not give me a raise because "upper management" don't want to do it, but I called his bluff and told him I'd talk to every single one in the upper management to show my accomplishements so eventually he gave in and gave me the raise. I think he will try to fuck with me in the future again so I may need to work on plan B, C

one shitty thing I learned about raises is they usually mean the boss will act like he owns you on a new level

Dev/software bros... can I make it through self taught paths? I just started the Odin project. I got an engineering degree and the jobs are miserable and don’t even come close to FAGMAN junior dev salaries.
At this point I’m considering quitting my job and studying/learning full time so I can move on faster. Studying part time is so slow and the life clock is ticking.

Gentlemen, please, feel free to visit this thread for some rather rude awakenings.
>>26473213

the worst part of my job is dealing with retards. i would almost call it comfy if it weren't for that.

Asking for a raise (In modern times at least) is like asking to fuck your bosses daughter in front of him, the levels of visible disgust on their faces is unreal. I've asked at 3 jobs now and met with this reaction each time even though I outperform everyone in the team and if I disappeared they would all be fucked trying to pick up the pieces.

>>26473989
This as well, if you are given it, oh boy, you better be fucking grateful and never complain again. Also, you must take on more work even though the pay rise was to be paid fairly for the work you are ALREADY doing.

>>26470512
tendies day

>>26462689
bro i'm living that life just like you right now, but i am dreading exactly this kind of meeting coming out of nowhere in the future...
...h-haha maybe its just a raise?

i feel like an employed NEET. yes its contradictory, but i can't think of another word describing my situation. literal nobody nonamer, living with parents, khv, check every box in the "pastless, presentless, futureless misguided youth" checklist, but i somehow managed to fall into a job.

i feel like i accidently glitched the universe by autistically mashing the controls, and teleported myself into the "normie got a job" timeline. but you know, without any substance backing it. so now im scared of losing it. people say "fake it till you make it", well, my faking machine is running overtime.

>>26459996
You niggers need to get a rotational job

14 days on 14 days off is comfy

Mondays suck because it's all meetings and I don't get to be productive. Otherwise working is comfy because I'm really good at my job so I get to do whatever the fuck I want. Also it's cool to still go to the office, fuck being at home all the time

>>26459996
Yea, luckily I don't do much now. I can work from home but I just go into the office to grab the free food. I have to start lifting again after weekend restdays cause I want to be /fit/ That's going to be the main pain in the ass walking to the gym and back in this frigid ass weather and doing cardio after a weekend of drinking and smoking cigarettes

>tfw made more from trading crypto these past few days than i do from wagecucking an entire month

goddamn it's tempting to just quit my job and try my hand at this full-time but I know that would backfire quickly (or would it?)

It's alright. Some days are very stressful. Eventually I'll make good money, benefits are legit. But really I'd rather be free at home with my wifey working on something meaningful.

>>26476173
sounds fun as fuck honestly. Try being in an open office environment with constantly gossiping vultures instead.

>But... But you can just stay out of office politics.

This is the second biggest lie told by dumb boomers, first one being "you must always work hard to become succesful"

If you isolate yourself from the gossip sphere, guess who's gonna start thinking that you think you're better than everyone else and point their arrows at you?

>>26459996
Yes I love my job as a sea captain. I get free blowjobs at the bar when I go there in my uniform. I literally do nothing but browse biz and fuck whores for a week straight. Then I get a week off. I love my job.

Tell your manager to fuck off and grow some dope

>>26460286
Depends on your wage master anon - I ironically somehow seem to just keep getting worse and worse jobs - I miss my old role where I did fuck all for 5 hours and only worked 3

I've lost all motivation to progess any further in my career. I'm only a low level software dev but ever since the 2017 bullrun, i've been redpilled on wagecucking. Why the fuck would I become a slave trying to get a promotion just to earn a few extra thousand a year? I've been making that on trades over the past few years. I don't have enough to retire though - the six figure hell meme is real.

>>26478066
I treat my career like I treat anything else I've invested in. It's important to have, as it helps with diversifying your portfolio of income sources.

Sleeping till 10 AM, spending my day busting fat nuts and working at home from my computer for managing my projects.

I'am making around 40k € a year. All i had to do was to invest my money from LINK into startups, to hype folks around me about my concepts while showing them that i'am smart with money.

I have in total around 500k in assets from my crypto gains. I diversified that into low risks investments for feeling safe and comfy.

I wish that more anon could follow that mindset. While i didn't made it (yet), i was able to gain some liberty.

Investing instead of spending.

Started as a janitor recently thanks to covid.
I maintain my sanity by pretending its just like ss13.

It's my final week of wagecuckery, lads.
From now on the only ventures I enjoin will be of my own making.
Keep flipping stacks, wagmi.

>>26478129
good way to look at it

I watch George Lopez all day while no one is at my office because China flu. I do meaningless data entry and trial prep for $20 an hour and no debt except like $200 for my credit card. My work isn’t extremely satisfactory but I’m damn grateful for the position I’m in considering everything from last year.

Does anyone do day trading to escape wage cuck?

I just played the long hold game with minimal cashing out and delaying tactics along the way e.g. doing an MA in a niche topic that was fully funded. But this approach was easier at the time given there were fewer cryptos than there are now.

If this happens please choose a specific shoe to wear before your group from /biz/ kills themselves, particularly Nike. Let us know which shoe you will all die in and we’ll buy up those shoes. Once the news headline from the suicide pact states you were all wearing a specific Nike shoe, Nike will discontinue it due to the morbid back story and the shoe will moon in price.

Is 24 too old to join the military? Having all my life expenses paid for me for 4 years and leaving with $50k and free college sounds a hell of a lot better than a wagecuck life of no security and constant anxiety.

>>26474294

THAT'S THE SCHTICK

If you do great you may get a 7-10% raise typically at best along with a bonus almost never more than a month's wage if you're lucky.

YOU NEED to have a rapport with a manager or director and whoever can submit a pay review to HR / accounting for authorization.

You, in the gentlest and kindest way, need to suggest just how much of a PL and synergy loss would be because of your value.

If they're a shit head at that point you need to walk.

If they're reasonable, they know you're going to walk because you should be able to get more if you're not shitting anyone.

Otherwise, just hope you can get on track for a promotion in a realistic time and try to milk that but good luck. If you project in anyway that you have a weakness for them to take leverage on (personal finances / debts) or are just a push over in general and can't dodge bullshit politely then you're fucked regardless and you have to hop. No other way around it.

>>26483299
Also personal opinion but night shifts are the bomb.com. Idk why I liked it so much. Maybe it's the illusion of being separate from the 9-5 wagiegang lifestyle, maybe it's the solitude, idk.

I'm currently a politics student at a pretty meh university because I didn't get to do the A levels I wanted and only got BCC in them. I'm pretty sure me having to redo my A levels will turn a lot of investment banks off to me.
