Ok here's why /makingit/ is so important.

I've had about 10 different jobs in my life in almost every sector. I've worked 15 hour days, laboured, worked in retail, basically everything.

I watched an episode on the joe rogan podcast when a guest mentioned the concept of a shit job. Basically, you work in a company so big, you don't end up doing jack shit all day, and get paid. The caveat obviously is that you never can climb up or make more money, but you essentially get to be a work neet.

So I spent 6 months looking, and finally found a job that might fit, It was 55k a year (med wage where I live) 100% remote, and 35 hours a week. Also, I got to pick my hours literally 24/7 and could work whenever I wanted.

First few months where great, I just came off being a security guard, and spending 12 hours a day standing in the rain. Now I get to be comfy in my house and work 3.5 days a week.

Well slowly I started to feel the same as all my other much shittier jobs. Even though I was mostly free, I still had to spend 35 hrs a week glued to my screen, and I fking hated it.

That's when I realised. It's not the work. It's not the money. It's the fact that your a slave. That for that portion of time, you can't do what you want. Especially now with all this printing, it's only going to get worse.

We humans weren't made to be caged to an office, or building site or whatever to work like slave dogs till we die. It's not fulfilling, and eventually just turns you into an empty shadow of yourself.

Whatever it takes bros escape the machine. I don't want to sound like some philosophical retard but I have been a wagie since 13 and I have been working almost non stop for 10 years. You can't beat the system, now matter how comfy your job, not taking part is the only way.

I was told by everyone growing up that you just had to find the right job. Bullshit. There is no right job. I think what it comes down to is that we have been programmed to accept this as the norm. But our human instinct goes against it, like a caged animal getting everything it needs, but being depressed because it's never able to fly in the open sky. Honestly it's messed up how for so many people this is how they live and die.

You are correct for the most part.

You're not a slave. They are paying you for your time with money, and you can use that money on anything your heart desires. They too also want that money, so they work to pay as little as possible. It's nothing more or less than a transaction. Both you, and capitalist companies, want that same thing: money. If you think your time is not worth the money they are paying you for it, and you are not also experiencing some satisfaction, look elsewhere. Sign up for job alerts, apply to them as regularly as you check your mail.

Remember, at the end of the day, the money you get is money earned. Invest it and make it work for you if you want to. If you have severe issues with motivation or depression, you may have a treatable condition, and you need to see a doctor. If you end up having a mental health condition that has been hurting you this entire time, a simple prescription could be the change you need to get out of your rut. The extreme poverty rate in the United States is 0.24%. This system was made for you to succeed. If you've tried 1000 times like Edison took for his lightbulb and still fail, you can come back to me and say you told me so. Otherwise, you've got 999 attempts to go champ.

A wagie slavy alibi job is a way to get free health care, access to gibs, maybe a state pension and so nobody asks how you pay for your expensive hobbies. That is if you are in a socialist country. If you are in a capitalist country, being criminal is more lucrative and risk less carrier path

complete bs. I would somewhat agree with you if the system wasn't rigged, but that's not the game we play. I have to pay useless taxes which go to things I can't even use. I have to pay stupidly high rent and live in a shithole because of rich government corrupt degens buying up property then renting it back to poor people at a mark up. I have many physical issues due to working shitty jobs to survive.

The game is entirely rigged against the average employee, and you are more akin a slave then a worker. You have to do what your master says or you risk homelessness or eternal debt you have to work even hard to pay off. The only way to win is not to play.

I am only 22, and I’m beginning to realize this as well. I got a business degree, and hated school. I hated the two jobs I’ve worked with that degree, including my current sales manager position.
I’m going to quit and become a stone mason, because I am fucking tired of sitting around “working” and having nothing to show for it. But I know I’ll hate that job just as much as this one, within a couple weeks.
I, too, dread spending 2/3 of my waking life doing shit I don’t want to do, which only really benefits other people. There is no way around this.

People get laid off / fired so often in the modern corporatist era and for any number of potential reasons (company doing badly? CEO's gotta lay everyone off to prove to shareholders he can cust costs and turn things around; company doing well? CEO's gotta lay everyone off to prove to shareholders they're being fiscally responsible and can sustain it; nothing much happening either way? Great time to lay everyone off so you can get more flexible H1B workers on the job) that when you do get a good high paying job you'll just keep wondering when they're going to pull the rug and leave you with no job plus extra expenses you no longer have any way to afford, making it so you have to choose between accepting a low paying job and losing your house or holding out for another high paying job and digging yourself even deeper into the hole.

No I agree but unlike /pol/. i don’t buy into the Judeo Bolshevism meme, these people have rightly identified all the awfulness of the current system, but they offer no practical solutions and a focus on gay social justice shit.

In the Weimar era, there was a term called Beefstakes which were people who switched from Communism to Fascism or vice versa. Point is, if you are far left or far right (barring tranny shit) you have the potential to be a useful agent or change, regardless of your naiveness.

Good on you for realizing this. I came to the same conclusion. I’ve worked as an engineer then consultant at a top 4 firm and it does not feel good. I’ve recently gotten lucky and am working a new company where I feel real purpose and potential. I’m in at the ground floor and am poised to become a c-suite member in a year or two.

I unironically like minimum wage service jobs the best. If I made it I would go work at a McDonald's or a grocery store. The value you provide is tangible, you stock products and help customers find things, make sure they can get the food and supplies they need. The parts that I dont like are when customers feel entitled to treat you like shit not just politely, and when customers dont pick up after themselves. Other than that those jobs are unironically the best jobs to have, you get constant socialization which is good for you, lots of physical exercise, you get a change of pace, and your workload correlates pretty heavily with how many people directly need help. Of course not being able to set your own hours is the worst part, but I think overall service jobs are great. Low stress and they can honestly be fun sometimes. If I made 8 figures I would actually work at a store.

I'd still take that over some of the jobs I've had in the past. As for never promoting because you're doing nothing, change jobs every once in a while for artificial "raises", that's how you'd combat inflation in a situation like that. Also, a job like that lets you save more aggressively since not having a commute or needing to get dressed for work saves money, letting you have a lot more spare change for shitcoins, so if you're smart you can retire very early
