How to thrive at a salaried, white collar wageslave position that demands large time commitments as a /biz/neets:

You must wake up earlier than your coworkers and have an efficient morning routine. 4:30am is ideal.
You must focus every day for longer than your peers. You cannot look at your phone nor the Internet. You must get your responsibilities completed.
You must practice efficiency daily. You are actively wanting to produce more than your coworkers in the same amount of time.
You should not be eating what your coworkers are eating. Your meals should be healthy to give you energy. Stay hydrated.
Incorporate posture correcting lifts and calisthenics movements into your lifting routine to combat the desk devil. Do not skip workouts for work unless there is an extreme circumstance.

The weekends will set you apart from your coworkers. Avoid spending excess weekend time working. The fallacy is to believe since you are putting in extra time at work, you will get more wageslave points. Your reward will not be proportional to the effort. It's easy to fall into the trap that if you work more than everyone else, you will succeed faster. All you are doing is making more money for someone else.
Instead, use your "extra hours" to study your profession. Read books and technical literature related to your field that will advance your knowledge. Focus on skill building instead of feel-good self improvement. Work towards certifications that are valuable to your feild that your coworkers are too intimidated to finish. Make flashcards on the material you learn. Reading is not enough, you need to actively study to become an expert. Do not discuss with your coworkers how hard you study. Your coworkers may be your friends, but will turn on you for thier own personal gain every time. Keep personal stuff a secret in general.

You must have fun on your weekends. Most people waste thier weekends, even normies. Abstain from low value activities such as extended browsing of 4chan or netflix.

Your social life should be a priority. No matter how many hours a week you are working, you should spend time with high value people. Again, seek out high value activities and people. Social dancing will relax you more than being a couch zombie, despite your instincts. Your bosses do not want to work with a loser. If they see you as an unsocial autist, they will say great things about your work ethic but fail to show up for you in career advancing moments. Your coworkers will ask you your weekend plans as a status checker, and if you have no exciting plans ever, thier will view you as beneath them, which makes collaboration difficult.

The key takeaway here is that you need to be productive during your regularly scheduled wageslave hours so that you can spend the rest of your time on improving yourself. Working out, studying, and networking are activities to make yourself more valuable. The more value you have, the more power you have to negotiate favorable terms. Your zombie coworkers fall into traps of working longer hours, which ironically makes them less productive, and then use it as an excuse to stay stagnant in thier lives. With a growth mindset, you are stretching yourself to get better at your job and life. You will thank yourself in even just a year.

Agreed with most points
If you can get a salary job
everything is hourly contracting now everything is about speed now
Do all the work anybody can ask for without any overtime at all the company cant afford it. Itll be soon you get hired full time. Stacy contracted for only 2 years and she got hired as assistant junior bookkeeper. Good thing she has a CPA MBA and just passed lvl 3 CFA exam
Why dont you study more when you get home anon?

I want to die violently every morning and just a little every lunch break, every single day.
I feel euphoric every evening at 6pm.
I feel suicidal every evening at 10pm.
Friday 6pm till Saturday afternoon is my only long lasting freedom from either anxiety or being suicidal

Such is life of the start up white collar wagie bagholder.

It's like you have read a self-help book on how to be a better employee.
You overlook the human factor, where if you are too good at your job your boss and coworkers will get angry. Most wagies hate their jobs and only do the bare minimum to get by, overachievers irritate.
It's much better to grow your skills on your own time in secret and then bailing or getting a raise after your whole department relies on you for day to day operation.

Pathetic wage slave mentality, wasting weekends studying for your job and putting in unnecessary work in the hopes that someone will notice.

The truth is no one really knows who did what in the office. Doing an ok job and seeming friendly and enthusastic and being a face around the office is a much better approach. You assume that offices are rational places where people progress based on merit alone

But all this stuff is irrelevant, anyway. The real way to get ahead is start your own business and invest. At least this is something you control rather than dedicating your life to a wageslave job in the hopes that those above you give a shit and promote you. Your success being entirely in the hands of your employer
