Works of nihilism, existentialism and so on have the double-positives of both being normie-kryptonite, sometimes-respectable /lit/ material (although you may find yourself waxing into pol/r9k territory which judging by your OP picture you're perfectly comfy with), and also of codifying the general meaninglessness and pointlessness of things, which are attitudes antithetical to normie work culture, and will consequently really make you less employable if you internalize such stuff.
Consider the excellent aphorisms of one E.M. Cioran:
No longer ask me for my program: isn't /breathing/ one?
To hope is to /contradict/ the future.
The Creation was the first act of sabotage.
Events -- Tumors of Time.

I've been meaning to get into Cioran. Which work should I start with?
Any of that psychedelia shit will make you absolutely unemployable if you take it seriously. Bonus points if you can further migrate into conspiracy theories and afterwards move into radical right wing political theory.

Marx actually made me more employable because I understood more of what my employer wanted out of an ideal worker, but also activated my inclination to struggle against my employer.
We managed to organize and turn our part-time only, minimum-wage staff into full-time, with benefits, above minimum-wage for the same job. I'm still employed.

This. I read this anon's dictionary and now I've become so mentally unstable that the government has made it legal for employer's to dismiss my application on the basis of my name.

The above quotations come from a short book of aphorisms that was recently translated into English. The English-translated title (chosen by the translator as a less-literal yet more appropriate phrase) is "All Gall is Divided".
Like another book I'm about to describe, this book uses decorative, horizontal long-form versions of the " ยง " character to separate aphorisms/quotations. Its general tone and form of content, although serious, is much the same as a satirical (self-defeating) self-help book which was published in the late 1990s: "You Are Worthless", by Dr. Oswald T. Pratt (Scott Dikkers). This is a side project by one of the head guys of The Onion, and it came out right around the same time that The Onion was becoming popular nationally. Even the length of both books are comparable, they really are of a piece.

This is clearly the best answer.
But also check out "The Soul of Man under Socialism," an essay by Oscar Wilde.
And maybe, in the vein of Cioran, "The Conspiracy against the Human Race" by Ligotti. It gets a lot of meme airtime since True Detective S1 came out, but if you attempt to explain its content to anyone it will almost certainly render you unemployable.
