Last job I worked at for 3 and a half years doing overnight lumber recovery for home depot. I thought I would be able to avoid talking to people on night shift when in reality I was constantly in communication with the night crew, supervisors, I had to report things to dayside, work with truck drivers, deal with customers at closing or sometimes opening if I had to stay late, trim lumber on the saw, and I was exposed to tons of concrete dust and fiberglass insulation.

They kept having internal shortages so I had to audit every truck that came to the store even though they were supposed to be checked and certified before leaving the distribution center, and I was always battling with the dayside operations manager who tried to pin it on me if there was a materials shortage. I even stood up in a meeting where regional management came to the store to do what they called a "town hall", a sort of socratic meeting between associates and corporate big wigs with their heads up their ass, to make it look like they gave a shit when they didn't. They just said "yeah we are in a transitional period between our old distribution center and our new one, and we've had a pattern of issues with truckloads not fulfilling their full orders. We appreciate your hard work and meticulous record keeping, it hasn't gone unnoticed, keep up the good work! We appreciate your patience."
Translation: "Lol we don't care, not out fault, figure it out dude."

All my coworkers were either retards or snakes, nobody respected basic safety protocol around lift equipment, management was slimy and resistant to accountability, the nightshift combined with the nature of the work was absolutely killing me, and I just couldn't take it. Left with notice on good terms, (nobody knew I wanted to kill everyone in the building, and I was pretty good at what I did).

NEETdom has been therapeutic for me. When I eventually am forced to return to the workforce, I just want a job where I don't have to deal with people. Home depot would have been tolerable if it was just the work and minimal customer interaction. It's the scumfucks I had to clock in with every day that made my life unbearable.

All the forklift work was awesome. I'm thinking I might try a lumber yard.

Or maybe just NEET til I die, kek.
