Say goodbye to your hobbies

>>55330048
This is what I figured. Oh well.

>>55330068
After the first weeks you'll adjust and not just get home to sleep. You'll have some time to dedicate to your hobbies, not like before but you won't kill yourself as long as you don't manage your time like a retard

>>55330036
You think you're only gonna be giving 40 hours a week to this job?

>>55330036
Suicidal thoughts.

>>55330036
You probably want to exercise if its not an office job. Your first week is going to be painful as your body adjusts

No one really mentions it, but expect to see some cocks at least twice a week.

Has anyone made the switch from fulltime to parttime work? My house is paid off and I don't spend much money, I just want most of my time back. Can I get on EBT and Obamacare if I intentionally have "low income"?

>>55330036
To make friends, unironically.
Also you're gonna like having several hundred a week to buy some of the nice things you've been missing.
New comfortable shoes
New shirts
Fix your car window
Savings

If you’re like me, high effort and enthusiasm for a year and a half before realizing no one cares and going above and beyond only gets you more work. You’ll then slink into a “just enough not to get fired” effort, and the realization that this is your life now.

Do not make friends.

The corporation is not your friend.

Always look for a better job and leave as soon as you get a salary bump. Your managers are your enemy unless you plan on becoming one, then shareholders are your enemy unless you plan on becoming one. This understanding will make you rich, most people are slaves.

>>55330036
Expect to be demoralized within the year

>>55330170
This. Just do enough to get by, save money and get out as soon as you can

>>55330175
LIE. LIE TO EVERYONE. BULLSHIT. DO NOT WORK HARDER THAN IS NECESSARY. ALWAYS MAKE IT SEEM LIKE WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS IMPORTANT EVEN IF ITS NOT. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED WHEN SURROUNDED BY PSYCHOPATH EFFEMINATE CUNTS.

>>55330177
There is no need to feel demoralized when you realize value is subjective and only the appearance of value matters when surrounded by retards.

>>55330165
You can get short term health plans if you don't have pre existing conditions

Hello autists, recognize that most people in corporate world are literally not human beings and it's ok to fuck them over, lie to them, and stab them in the back. They are slaves, you are not a slave, that makes you their master if you are willing to master them.

>To make friends, unironically.
Absolute bullshit, my social life dies anytime I get a job

I go from playing sports and halo with the boys, getting my dick grinded on at clubs to having to make small talk with the mentally challenged coworkers who spit on me when they talk

>>55330168
Go back

>>55330036
>I'm about to start my first ever, full time 40 hours a week job next week.
>What can I expect?

>To make friends
So you're the guy that doesn't understand I'm not your fucking friend. We work together, I have to tolerate you, when I quit the job eventually, fuck off. I never liked you and I hated every moment of being there.

Pain and suffering and the passage of time speeds up so months pass like weeks, days mean nothing.

>>55330083
>After the first weeks you'll adjust and not just get home to sleep
heh yeah, if only

>>55330036
>168 hours a week - 49 hours sleeping = 119 hours conscious
>40 hours work + 2.5 hours unpaid lunch + 5 hours commute + 5 hours wageslave preparation = 52.5 hours
>52.5/119 = 44%
you can expect to spend about 44% of your conscious hours on wageslaving and wageslaving adjacent activities.

Here's some advice I wish I had gotten earlier. I call it the poorfags path to an easy job.
So, when you get there you're obviously there to do a specific job. As you get better at that job your managers will assign you more duties. When they do, push back by asking which of your current duties you can drop. If none, ask for more money. This will either work, or not. if it doesn't you need to leave as they will burn you out by constantly adding stuff to your day. Which means getting better only gets you more shit with no extra compensation.
If it works you established two things. You're competent as they wouldn't give you more work otherwise, and you demand more money for more effort.
Now, figure out what the stuff is nobody is particularly good at, and nobody wants to do. Do a quick reality check on whether you can get better at that type of work. As in, it takes you 8 hours now but if you learn it'll only take you 1 hour in a couple of weeks.
Also, be the person that has stuff on hand not only for your direct manager but for others as well.
If you follow this simple guide you'll become a specialist in areas the company has few in and you'll reduce your workload over time, giving you either the option to chill or add more, thus get paid more. Good luck.
Another important one: when coworkers come to you for you to work on their stuff you better make sure their manager and your manager are aware of this. It's a good sign because your coworkers want a slice of your skills but it's bad because it will only benefit their visibility in the end. They might thank you and all but management will assume that you need direction.

>i just made money time to consoom

>>55330036
I started my first job recently. It's not too bad. The first week is the most intense because you'll have this existential horror at how your entire day vaporizes and at having to get up so early in the morning as well as the feeling of uselessness because you're still in training; but there will also be a lot of novelty to it. I enjoyed getting to leave the house and be around people.

After a month or two, the feels dissipate. You get used to the routine. You've figured out how much sleep you need. You know when and how to do certain chores so that you get everything done, and have optimized your schedule so you still have some free time. You've largely settled in and are used to the grind, and you might feel a bit silly about all the stress you had.

From here, you may be acclimated to your job but that's not the be-all end-all. Your life as a whole matters too. If you're saving money, building your career, and able to progress in your personal interests, you'll be very satisfied. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, not gaining good experience, and don't have any other interests you're developing you'll become a neurotic or depressive mess who feels like his life is being stolen from him.

My suggestions:

1) Get your sleep schedule right. Try to minimize the amount of time between waking up and leaving for work because you're not going to enjoy any free-time you have with work looming over you.

2) Meal prep on the weekends. It saves you a ton of time.

3) Find some way to progress your career outside of your job. This can be part-time education, entrepreneurship, or anything else. The feeling of progressing in life is incredibly comforting and it should be maximized.

4) Find some hobbies. Preferably not mindless ones like vidya or football. Something more artistic and human like learning languages, literature, philosophy, spirituality, etc will help fill the void and make you feel like less of a robot.

I know. That's why I'm not your friend, but all the other people talking and laughing are work friends.
We know you're super hardcore and don't need no one. That's why we leave you alone, exactly what you wanted, but you're still a dick about getting what you want so we talk shit about you, fag.

>>55333725
5) Don't allow yourself to feel stress. I'm always super stressed out so this was a big one. If you're not sure you'll make it to work on time, ignore it. If you're worried about mistakes you made on the job, ignore it. You should always be doing something, but it should be in a stress free fashion of coasting through the day.

6) Continuous improvement is key. Normies will do things inefficiently for their entire lives because it's the way they were taught to do things. If you do as little as keep an eye out for ways you can do work faster, or do your chores faster, or utilize your free-time, you'll quickly be able to outpace everyone else.

Also try and get in at least some fun. I get that we're all too autistic to go to parties or talk to girls, but at least do some outdoors hobby on the weekend.

>>55330036
Expect to make it a part of your life. Don't see it as a chore, but see it as a part of you, otherwise you will want to escape and it will destroy you spiritually. Talk to your coworkers, have fun and so forth. Make it a part of your day, rather than counting the hours before you can leave.

>>55330036
Welcome to the rest of your life. The only upside is that you'll have a tiny bit more money than usual.

>>55333725
thx for the motivation. I'm looking for a job and you hit the nail on the head with the "feel like life is being stolen" comment. I want to work because I know it will help me, but almost 6 months out of work and it feels like I can't even get a shot despite the fact I have a frickin bachelors of science in computer science with two internships under my belt

>>55330162
where do you work?

God what a faggot you are

I attest. Nobody is your friend. They'll just act friendly. Trust nobody.
Pic related is exactly what they will exploit in you.

>>55333008
My commute and “prep” take up 3 hours a week.
I have 1 hour lunches but go to the gym, being salaried my lunch is typically 75 minutes.

>>55333054
If you never want to make more than 1.5-2x entry level in your company this works. This is pay first, work second, and results in OK pay.
If you want to make real money, take on more duties and build more skills, then gun for promotions. Work first, pay second, results in high pay OR you’re an idiot. High risk high reward.

>>55330036
Im 32 and still in college never worked ful time ever, maybe not even once 8 hours, besides at my family farms maybe a few times. Also most of the time had no job, and if 10 hours a week or less.
Moved out 9 years ago
Still positive net worth thanks to crypto
But this will end soon

Get experience fast then get a job where you feel good about learning it. Best advice I can give you. I generally want to show up to work because I’m always learning intimate operational knowledge to start my own business one day. It really makes me stand out, and makes working really easy.

>>55330235
You're absolutely insane bro
What kind of work you do? IT or accounting?

I wanna wfh so bad bro .I make around 80 doing hybrid remote/ field, never in an office though.

>>55335108
Thats pretty naive. If youre really trying to get a move on like that then you want to leave and go to a different company then. Promoting internally doesnt work.

>>55335157
lucky you, you're not missing anything except torture, though you better get in the torture chamber soon otherwise you won't be able to make money ever.

I have that lower income comfy set up, it's fucking hard to consider anything else.

Corporate America is a front for the federal agencies. You won't get the big promotion if your job isn't a fake cover for some federal bullshit.

>>55330036
No more fun time. Also, the base pay for picrel is $25, will I get the full $31?

>>55330165
No but if I'm able to swing it after refinancing I'll be sure to make a bragging thread. GJ with the paid off house ser.

>>55330175
This is the only post you need to read in the thread.

>>55333725
>artistic and human like learning languages, literature, philosophy, spirituality, etc
Could've just said sucking dick, faggot

>>55336662
Only if you have plenty of years working that specific job somewhere else and are good at negotiating. If you're walking in on minimal or no experience you're getting the base rate, maybe $1 extra.
