I don't like my job. I'm not gonna go in anymore

>>213685507 (OP)
Me at every job

I'm going to start writing and quit my job.
Life is a joke, why shouldn't I do it?

The biggest takeaway from this movie is that you should get to know your neighbor.

i've worked literally over 100 jobs in my life. i wish my dad wasn't such a "follower". he's afraid of NOT having someone to tell him what to do at work. i wish i would have started my small business in my early 20s. my dad was always in my ear talking about how i need to FOLLOW and work for SOMEONE else, because that's all he ever knew. i love him, but he's a FOOL. it's not too late anon. spend 400 bucks on zenbusiness and start a little S-corp LLC. do sprinklers, landscaping, welding, etc. you can make good money. that's my good work. i'm doing the best i've ever done.

The biggest takeaway from this movie is that you should put cover sheets on your TPS reports from now on

i fucking hate my IT job so much i want to die

>>213685507 (OP)
I wouldn't mind my job if it weren't for the jeets. They're simply not qualified to do anything and make more work for everyone else. Wogs are objectively worse than useless.

>>213686785
if you kill everyone in the office, that would only give your book insane publicity

I quit my job back in November. I've been NEETing since then and, other than the bullshit stress that this world typically tries to put onto me, I'm healthier physically and mentally than I have ever been when grinding for dollars for the past 30+ years.

I'm fucking done. Forever. If I do something again in the near future, it's going to be what I want to do, not what someone else thinks I need or have to do.

>>213688435
Hope you got enough money to sustain that lifestyle for good

>>213688435
Dude you're like pushing 50 at best
You are not healthier than when you were 20

How much money do I realistically need to retire and never work again? $2M? $5M? I don't know how people do this for 50 years

>>213688435
in my 30s, i was legitimately in the process of doing that this month. last monday i called off and told work i was going to go on family medical leave due to mental health problems for the month of august (which is true, im a miserable loser and had a mental breakdown to family about how much i want to kill myself, and this pathetic job where ive wasted a decade of my life is part of the problem) and i was going to just not return. i proceeded to see what two weeks would be like if i didnt have work, and i have done literally nothing. literally nothing. didnt make a resume, didnt look for jobs, literally have just done nothing all day. didt even spend the time watching television or anything. just pissing around in a room doing nothing. the most i did on weekdays was riding a bike around downtown and thinking how weird it is to see people out and businesses open in the middle of weekday mornings/afternoons

im probably going to go back in on monday and be back to the suicidal misery. im so fucking mentally ill, im literally afraid to look for jobs or make a resume. even though i hate this, im LITERALLY afraid. i read online like reddit or wherever about peoples job hunt process and i start hyperventilating thinking about it. thinking about what jobs i could even do. how to apply. likely will get rejected becuase im useless anyway. but if i did manage to get interviews, i would surely fail them. and even if it all works out, and i get a job and all that, i still have the rest of my dumpster fire of a life i would have to fix.

>>213685507 (OP)
Hey anon.

Watch out for your cornhole, bud

Trust fund baby; my mom never wanted me to work. It wasn’t until I was 45 that I went to school to be a high school math teacher. It’s a pretty good job. Eerily easy to get….like you just go to school for 5 years and WHAMO! Job offers left and right. I got tenured last year so I don’t even have to worry about layoffs. There’s stupid shit like having to go to football games and of course, the damned kids, but it’s rewarding and very VERY easy. I’m not even that good at math.

>>213685507 (OP)
Me after every 1 - 2 years. Then I quit and take a couple years off.

>that wageslave stare when they ask why you haven't worked in years and you tell them "because I didn't have to"

>>213689036
it increases every year because inflation devalues money every year. today its something like 10m invested in safe, regular returns.

>>213690348
>long employment gaps and “how did you survive without a job?”
“I come from a wealthy family, and simply didn’t have the need to work. But now I want to work and contribute, be part of a team, teach kids.”

That line worked for me in my one and only interview when I was 50….and applying to work with children, no less.

>>213690062
very nice that you reeched those keeds

I need a fucking job, bros. I need some fucking money.

>>213690587
Dude I actually did my student-teacher internship at THAT high school. In East LA. Some of the greatest kids ever. I work at a rich white kid school now and they’re damn fucking evil. I substituted for a while and noticed that black kids are very good at math, for some reason, Asians aren’t the little geniuses everyone thinks they are, and white kids are generally smart. But black kids pick up math really really fast. Latino kids just downright don’t care about school….until they do and then they’re really smart too. White kids that don’t even try get straight Bs and Cs.

I'm about to pick up a 3rd job. Mall cop, bouncer at a nightclub, and now a hospital security gig at the mental health ward.
I don't even need the hours, I just love the work.

>>213690643
Drive uber/lyft.

>>213689036
I retired when I was 32 with ~$1.5M back in 2018. It's since grown to like $2.5M without me even trying. Shit is easy. I just play golf all day with old people and make dumb youtube videos sometimes. Idk why more of you don't try harder to become NEETS. FIRE is easier than you think.

>>213685507 (OP)
You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here. Who do the f*** do you think you're talking to? Oh, yeah? Ok.

>>213687864
The biggest takeaway is to check your damn maths

>>213690914
You happened to have a few years of very good growth, you need enough of a nest egg to weather an extended recession without severely depleting it

>>213690914
Why didn't I just think of having millions of dollars.

>>213689747
I’m going through something similar. I’ve stopped wasting time on video games but now I am spending a lot of time just thinking and shitposting. It makes sense to me that changing takes a little bit of time. And there will be setbacks too. A lot of mental hurdles.

>>213691061
Nah I would've been fine even if my $1.5M dropped to below $1M or below. I only spend $40k a year. I even could've got a part time job worst case if there was a giga recession.

>>213691179
I worked since I was 16, that's almost 16 years of saving. I never made an insane amount or anything, just frugally invested everything in the S&P 500 and now I get to NEET it up forever

>>213690409
lol you're retarded

i work at a small international airport handling luggage. i like the work itself, its very physical and people for the most part leave you alone. im a team leader so i have to use a radio and sort out problems but its not hard. some people get nervous being in a critical role that if you fuck up can lose literal millions of dollars but idgaf just dont be a retard and itll be fine.
the shit part is the company i work for. theyre money grubbing cunts, just like everywhere these days rally. 2/3 of your shifts you walk in and are dangerously understaffed but still expected to get everything done on schedule. like talking about 50% under airline allocation (ie you should have 4 people for a flight and you have 1 or 2).
also a majority of the people i have to work with are extremely lazy or extremely incompetent. usually both.
but the pays good for completely unskilled work, the shifts go fast and it keeps me fitter than if i sat around all day.
only wish i started doing it right out of school and id be a lot better off financially than i am now.

Firing shots non stop until I see your monkey ass drop.

>>213691432
I see now there was a whole point to this. It wasn’t just a funny joke.

>>213691247
thats great anon, it must be nice to be 39 and be able to spend time with your wife and kids not needing to wageslave, just tend to your house, family and friends all day.

>>213691664
lmao gottim

>>213691664
thanks it is very nice, my gf and i are planning on having our first this year (she's 30)

I got laid off 8 months ago and since then I do nothing and then fall asleep on the couch around midnight, wake up, watch youtube, and then go to bed around 6AM. And I don't get out of bed before noon. So in total I'm lying down sleeping or in-between sleeping periods for like at least 12 hours a day

>>213690914
this chart is retarded, 75k/yr is not even close to being upper middle class. 120k/yr isn't even upper middle class.

my job is amazing, I was literally hired because I was doing it for free, now I can barely work up the will to get out of bed, and often dont
I should just kms, waiting for my parents to die to do so

>>213693231
What is the job? Is it actually amazing or you mean low effort?

>>213690544
the fuck how old are you?

>>213685507 (OP)
>not taking the self employed pill
you DO have a skill, right?
a skill that HASNT become obsolete by AI as well, right?

>>213690914
>why yes I do take my financial advice from a random image on a mongolian basket weaving forum, how could you tell?

>>213693205
Because it's a retirement chart, not a salary chart.
The numbers to the right are the net worth, which is about $2M for the upper middle class one. They're withdrawing 75k/year from investment accounts.
The number on the left is what they're able to withdraw steadily without working. The number on the right is what they have in savings.
To save up $2M, a person has to make more than $75k and/or be a very good investor.

>>213690914
how did you do it?

>shenanigans with corporate at a job I was rehired at
>role offered, previously worked, isn’t role I’ve been working since rehire
>responsibilities that shouldn’t be mine are, as I’m not management
>find out today officially that I was misled
>tfw boss knows im about to quit because i said i was seeking elsewhere
>tfw waiting on callbacks that are supposed to happen tomorrow, that I’ve been assured will
>tfw callbacks could not happen because life’s like that
Liberating feeling to get up mid sentence while management is explaining yet another task for me to do and shut the office door to explain that others need to be doing the work I am as I’m not paid enough to do their jobs.
Fucking annoying to deal with it all. When I was neet earlier this year it was horrible, poverty is humiliating.

I finally got an office job again that I like.
I get to work 3 days from home, 2 days in the office.
I have affordable health insurance ($85 a month, including dental and eyes).

But what the FUCK happened to the OFFICE. I worked in an office from 2011-2013, and again during 2018.
I finally got back into the office in 2023 (current job).

WHEN DID THE OFFICE BECOME AUTISTIC, GAY FREAK DAYCARE?!

All my office hires is non-whites 90%, 95% women, and 70% Gay, 100% autistic LOSERS.
And they allow it. All fucking day its nothing but "as a gay man, as a bisexual woman, as a transman, as a transwoman", "yeah, I did like that show for children, bur then I found out the creator is a racist, a xenophobe, a homophobe". LET ME TALK REAL LOUD, ACROSS THE ENTIRE ROOM SO THAT HOPEFULLY OTHER PEOPLE IN THE ROOM WILL JOIN INTO THIS RETARDED CONVERSATION AND BE HAPPY I'M VIRTUE SIGNALING AND AGREE WITH MY PERCEIVED VICTIMHOOD!
I like this anime! Let me decorate my desk with a full desk mouse pad! Let me put pokemon all over my desk.
Let me call off work all the time, then complain about the company, my lack of vacation days.
Let me complain about health insurance even the the Gold policy is only $120.
"It makes no sense that we aren't fully remote, despite us only having to come in 2 days a week!".
"There are nazis im charge of the country".
I went on a gay camp retreat with my partner.
My mom wasn't happy when I came out as bi.
Let me constantly say stuff like "I wanna die", "why would anything ever work", "let me be joyfully sarcastically negative and pessimistic all the fucking time!"

Jesus tap dancing Christ.
What happened? I had to accept the "open floor, no more cubicles, no privacy" shit, but why and when did the office hire and tolerate exclusively homosexual, always offended, constant whiner, never happy, child hobby, no powerlevel hiding, FREAKS?

what a bunch of funking wankers. you fucking niggers don't know how good you had it.

The 40 work week in a time of unprecedented abundance and automation is an absolute nightmare.

I'm about to hit a year at Taco Bell bros. I can't wait to get my certificate hung on the wall with all the other greats.

>>213690544
I just say I was taking care of a family member. My mom was in a wheelchair which is proveable.

>>213695800
When they stopped giving decent scholarships to straight white men so we couldn't become qualified for office work. Not to mention the fact that college is just 4 fucking years of liberal claptrap.

>>213696126
Big shoes to fill.

>>213685507 (OP)
My goal is to go to my grave without ever doing a 40-hour work week

Quit my job a week ago because I hated it. Didn't say anything, just didn't go back. No idea what I'm going to do. Just been watching TV and drinking beer. I've got savings so I'll be good for a couple months.
