I've never been an office cuck, but nothing on earth will get me back to being a manual laborer.

I watched Office Space and the ending where the main guy quits his job and becomes a construction worker and he's somehow happy now was fucking retarded. I literally have done that sort of work and it's most soul crushing, body destroying shit you can do. You have to spend your day with sub 80 IQ brainlets everyday and all of my workmates who were over 25 had major back problems and other health issues because of the work being so physically intensive and strenuous. It was pathetic to see fairly fit looking late 20's and early 30's guys complaining about their backs and constantly holding their back after doing any heavy lifting.

Not to mention it fucks up your hands and you get callouses and hard skin all over them. Literally feels like you are jacking off with fucking sandpaper, I had to cover my hands. You also get home fucking exhausted and too tired to do anything in your free time.

Anyone who willingly does a trade or any sort of heavy manual labor for longer than a few months is an absolute cuck or a brainlet among brainlets.

Maybe they are both soul crushing. I guess office work might be more mentally draining as you have to put in actual thought to what you are doing, and you would also be thinking about stupid projects and shit while you are at home. But trades are physically draining as fuck, I literally felt like I was going into a mental stupor from the exhaustion. I would use up so much physical energy that mentally I felt like I was drained afterwards anyways. At least I didn't have to think about work related shit once I knocked off.

[Anonymous No.10821230]

Has anyone else had an experience where they lost respect for their coworkers, like a whole team of your coworkers and some event suddenly made you realize just how cucked they all are by their boss/manager? Like they let their personality's get shoved aside just to keep their jobs?

I used to work in a kitchen. We had some pajeet chef and he was easy going, rarely talked. So the rest of the kitchen staff were laid back in how we did things. It was a good and easy job. Some important info. We had this ageing Stacey who would gossip all fucking day and plan trips with her friend, some hard working asian lady who would banter with customers, some friendly girls who I liked to work with and they'd always bitch about whatever manager was shitty or whatever and they'd play the radio loudly and listen to music in the kitchen. But generally it was good until one day the pajeet up and left and we got a new female chef. She was a fucking bitch and a complete control freak. I ended up quiting my job and working as a bartender instead right after she started. But I was shocked that I was the only one who put up any resistence to this new chef. I was the only one who put in detailed complaints to managers about this new chefs shitty attitude and how handing off half your fucking workload to your underlings doesn't make you a professional especually when you finish an hour later than the previous pajeet anyways. Manager was butt buddies with her. But in my last two weeks notice before I left. I couldn't not believe the old Stacey actually just put up, she was always haughty and acted like you wouldn't cross her. But now she was sucking up fucking hard to this new chef, who had a rule that you aren't allowed to chat in the kitchen anymore, only talk about important work related things. My first though was that the old Stacey would kick up a shit about that since she spends her entire day gossiping. But no, folded like wet toilet paper.

>>10821230
The old asian lady, she had her workload tripled and just zipped her mouth, not a word, no banter with customers, begs others in the kitchen to help her out with her workload when chef isn't around. The other girls who were my friends, on the first few days they bitched about the chef when she wasn't around, now it's silence, and no radio either. Music is gone. I was actually fucking shocked and how everyone just bended to the will of a new chef just because management said this is the way it is now.

Fucking cucks man. I was the only one to resign over it. And my manager was actually shocked and visibly surprised when I told her I was resigning too. Felt like I had entered an alternate reality, they just let their fucking personhood be trampled on by others for a paycheck. Did they even look for another job. I literally got the first fucking job I applied for as well BTW, wasn't hard at all. I lost respect for every single one of my former workmates for putting up with that shit. No wonder middle managers think they can take a shit all over everyone. Fucking plebs actually put up with it.

people will put up with anything. Especially if they are older and have been working for a while. They are used to being shit on, it's just normal for them. A lot of people don't want to rock the boat because even if they know they are right, they won't want to get on the manager's bad side or risk being fired.

Other people simply don't like any confrontation. For them the stress of a confrontation is worse than the daily bullshit they put up with. Some people simply roll over and take it. Be happy you aren't one of them

Like holy shit I had some little hope for work, since I want to buy my own apartment but fuck now it doesnt even seem possible,because I thought minimum wage exempt from tax.Thought I would be saving 4k/annum.

Stocks don't lose as much value as you'd think during hyperinflation. If an entire continent goes under, index funds are diverse enough that you're only fractionally fucked. And many crises are transient, so hold out a year or five and you're back to where you started. If the crises are permanent, the economy's fucked and your crypto will do well. If even your crypto doesn't do well, there'll be enough warning for you to invest in bullets, lighters, batteries, and farming supplies.
