>tfw just started working for the first time and it's even worse than I imagined wagecucking would be
YOU WAGIES SERUOUSLY DO THIS EIGHT HOURS A DAY, FIVE DAYS A WEEK? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU???
Where are you working at m9?
>>27802314
An inbound call center doing customer service.
I have a great job.
My skills are applied to things that people will use for years. Once the finished product is installed the expression on the customer's face is priceless.
The knowledge that I execute one of the most important steps a company needs to take in order to satisfy a customer with the end product is amazing.
Another cool thing is that I simply work. Speed isn't prioritized over quality at this company. I get to work with my hands and I'm not hurried or micromanaged. This allows me to create great quality product.
Unfortunately, in America, companies like one I found by stroke of luck are far and few in between.
Most of any skilled or unskilled manual labor is all about rushing the project out of the door as fast as possible with little quality standards.
I feel especially bad for all of you retail and food industry friends. You guys are mostly treated like trash.
I don't get what's so bad about wagecucking jobs like retail or cashier or fast food person. You receive actual money for doing retard-tier work for 8 hours. It's like school but less soul-crushing, AND you get get paid for it.
>>27802349
Jeezus that's your problem senpai.
I work at FedEx
I throw packages around getting 12.10 to do it, 4 hours a day. Make enough to do nothing else.
Find a better job anon, for your sanity.
>>27802705
Nice, how'd you land it? I'd up my hours to 8 if I were you.
>>27802349
>customer service
this is suicide get out while you can
I build ships. My alarm goes off at 4:50am so that I can make a 45 minute commute to work. If you're not there at exactly 7am with your tools ready to go than you are punished and don't receive any time off for the next 3 months.
I drive an hour back in traffic and get home around 5. I walk my girlfriend's dog (inb4 cuck/REEEE), make dinner because she gets home much later than me, and sit in front of my computer until 8:30pm, at which time I can't keep my eyes open any longer an do it again.
I'm too tired to clean, to tired to study, have sex, cook a proper meal, or even relax. My knees and joints hurt all day.
All in all I have about 3 hours of "free time" a day, most of which is spent cleaning or cooking.
The worst part is that I have a Bachelor's degree (Cum Laude 3.4 GPA) in a STEM field from University. Our generation is so fucked.
Tired of this shit.
>>27802712
A friend of friend, pretty much luck really.
The sort for the morning shift only lasts about that long. And desu 8 hours would kill me. It's fun and easy, but in short bursts.
>>27802730
Wtf dude. Just get get a shit-tier minimum wage job. At least you won't be worked to exhaustion.
>>27802284
Anyone here have any experience with job corps?
I'm thinking of going to my local center for training to be a CNA, and eventually becoming a nurse.
I've already done the paperwork, and I might get into carpentry or welding for a while until the CNA program is set up in a few months.
>>27802804
I've considered it but I'd just be broke for life.
>>27802284
>>27802349
I know how you feel, I'm just a cashier. I could've been stocking shelves but I was too autistic to tell my boss.
I'm looking for another job, don't care about the money, just don't want to deal with people. I'd rather stock or lift shift for 8 hours a day than stand around dealing with people for 4-5 hours
>>27802686
Paid is a strong word. It's a starvation wage, and if you live in any place where you have to drive everywhere like florida, it's not enough to live off of because most of your money is divided between rent and fuel, forcing you to get a second job or work weekends or both because these kinds of companies only give part time shifts to avoid having to pay healthcare or offer any sort of upward mobility and a living wage.
I mean, we gotta eat and have a home.
>>27802871
What's the point of money you'll never get to spend anyway because you have no free time? If all you're doing is surviving you may as well take the retail or burger flipping job anyway.
>>27802284

The first time I had an actual full-time job I was doing government contract work
It was fun as fuck
>>27802284
m80 if you just started with me today, it ain't that bad. poor black guy though amirite? he's never coming back
I'm working a temp job and I'm bout to call it quits in a another month or so and move back home. The job search here in this huge city is not great after living here 2 years and I know I won't find any better going back home which is a small ass town. I'm tired of throwing 75% of my monthly income to rent and bills with no real gain. Luckily, I still have my GI bill so I can go to school but only thing is that my hometown doesn't have any programs (community school) I can pursue. My BA Psyc degree was a huge waste and here I am now.
The thing young kids especially college kids don't understand is just how much time 9-5 mon-friday is. I have a friend I went to HS with, he's 26, engineer, clears 6 figures and wants to walk off his job every day because of how miserable it is. He tells me what is the point of making good money if you only have 2 days off a week to even think about spending it? 3 weeks off a year for vacation? You get out at 5pm, 45 min commute home, by the time you take a shit and shower and get something to eat the sun is already down. Work will consume you.
>>27802705
>>27802768
I work at UPS making slightly more doing the same thing and the monotony of this job, turning my brain off for so long, is making me homicidal.
>>27802868
My friend did it. Do your research, a lot of them are ghetto as fuck, some are actually dangerous. From what I found out, the environment was more like a prison mixed with school than anything else. Rumors of guys getting raped. Some of the people are there not voluntarily but because of court orders, so you're genuinely going to be aroun criminals and the scum of the earth.
He finished it with some certs and the money they give at the end of the program, got a job as an electrician apprentice shortly after, think he was making $14 an hour very quickly.
He had to drive out to the county every week to get to the work site, at first he loved it but over time he just said "it's hard work". No clue what happened to him now.
>>27802349
Call center is suicide tier. Something like over 40% of call center employees quit in any given year, from any given call center. Typical shit jobs are closer to 20-25%, and typical decent (even if low-paying) jobs are more in the 10% range.
I worked at one as a telemarketer for 1 month when I was in school. Worst fucking job I've had, between all sorts of bullshit manual labor and retail/grocery. Of course it's also worse than my office job (rarely talk to people, thank god).
>>27802686
Even though I'm still going to college, and this is only a temporary job, it's still fucking horrible. Sure man, it's retard tier work, but does that make it any more bearable? No. Actually, doing retard tier work is far worse than actual work.
Basically you got your bosses pressuring you into staying past your shift, customers acting like complete blind fucks trying to rip the store off, and in my case I have ACTUAL RETARDS that work in my store too that I now have to fucking deal with.
What you don't understand is that any type of customer service or job that forces you to cater to people is the worst and extremely exhausting. Before I got the job I was laughing at how fucking easy it was to do, haha this is so stupid right, I can do this right. Wrong. I have just adopted a much deeper hatred for every fucking person who enters the fucking store, it's practically mutual with every fucking coworker their. They hate 99% of everyone who walks in and shows it with their bleeding smiles. Each and every day you need to see the exact SAME person, and ask them the exact SAME question that you've been asking them for about 6 months and they still act stupid makes you want to shoot the place up.
tl:dr - it is retard work, but the type of retard work that you hate. a job you can't complain about is a job where you don't deal with people.
I don't get why you're all so miserable. I work doing camshows (I'm a girl btw) and it's not that bad.
>>27802999
It's better than being unemployed and being broke as hell/homeless
Yeah it sucks that like 60% of your waking hours is spent working but if the other 40% is spent doing cool shit with the money you earned it's worth it. Time is money.
>>27802954
If you find your work satisfying then you aren't a robot, m8.
>>27802999
lmao I work almost 6 hours a day 6 days a week and only get 1 day off to spend money I don't have.
wagecuckery is far worse, I thought you were entitled to 2 days off, nah you really fucking aren't. The higher ups will give themselves 2 days off and pack on fucked up schedules for everyone else
>>27802917
>tfw work at a small company processing returns with no customer interaction

At least you're getting paid.

I've heard some horror stories, but I feel that it might be blown up a smidge.
>>27803069
yeah but at least you don't need to cater to your coworkers.
I have customers come to the register and leave half their groceries with me because they can't afford it or don't want it.

>>27802284
Tough it out for a few months and you will have a far better resume than ever before. Employers look for people who they know can work and actually hold a job before EVERYTHING else. Just having that experience will open up a world of possibilities for better jobs in the future. A lot of employers will actually respect you more if you had worked a shit job just to get by. It shows you're not a welfare monkey among other things.
I started as a janitor, then got a job in a different factory in assembly, and after that I moved to the shipping department which was far, far comfier than any of those other jobs. All this progress in less than a year. You can do it OP

>>27803210

>people who willingly let themselves be slaves.
It's not willingly. We have no other choice. We weren't born with intellect or rich parents, so we have to do menial work for shit pay. Luck of the draw.

Why not just get up at 6 and then have a 5min shower? Don't say "breakfast", instant oatmeal takes like 5 minutes and is perfectly healthy; alternatively you could just have sausages/boiled eggs/toast whatever in your car while driving. For an engineer you sure are fucking inefficient.

I have to agree with this. Once I got my first job and about 6 months of experience, the next jobs were easy as hell to land. I also starting hitting the interviews (which I used to be nervous as hell about) out of the ball park.
>>27803270

Y-yes sir. I'm sorry.
>>27803270
I had to accept that job to build a resume.
Now I'm kinda stuck with it, since it's not helping me, but 50 euros it's better than sitting my ass on the couch.
>>27803280
Neet in denial
Sorry friend but work history matters. Gaping holes in your timeline are a huge turn off to most employers. What do you think they think you were doing that time?
Out in the real world, people who work hard doing shit tier jobs (even multiple at a time) are respected for their work ethic instead of being mocked for being 'wageslaves' like on r9k.
>>27803057
Wrong, it just means you're not stupid.
Meanwhile some ITT have gfs and still complain about life, because they fucked up and got a shit job. Fuck them.
>five days a week
Try seven. Get on my level pleb.
>>27803381
Like I said, you could just beg for money in the streets and make more than that. Surely there's welfare bucks you could be on that would also be more than that

Nah I'm on the east coast. wondering if i can eventually move up since 90 percent of employees probably don't have high school employees. thinking of starting my mba but i'd probably get laughed out of the classroom when I tell them my job
I feel you op. I got this costumer enquiry phone job for an insurance company and I've been hating myself since day one. I applied to loads of stuff because I was a neet for a couple of years and needed somewhere to start. I work 4 hours a day and get paid less than 3 euros/hour because they put me on a 'formation' contact for 3 months. My formation lasted 2 days. The job sucks and every month I have to put extra hours to get the target, because they never give us enough contacts and just expect us to magically do the enquiries. I'm at the bottom of the chain and they're making sure I feel that way. It has made me miss the time I worked as a cashier and I hated it at the time. The 3 months finish next week and I've already started looking for something better.
If you have a general dislike for the human race, is outbound calls the way to go? Interrupting people in middle of their supper sounds satisfying
>>27803642
What? It takes 45 minutes by car. I wake up a bit after 5 since my first alarm goes off at 4:50. I leave my house at 5:30 and pull into work at 6:30. I walk to the job site and make it there around 6:50.
>>27803586

I feel real sorry when I see a doctor being accused for professional incompetence.

I'd imagine that you definitely could move up, but I also imagien that you're not the first person with that idea at your shipyard.
IF you want to mvoe to WI and live off fed govt contracts, check out Marinette.
>>27802284
Why THE FUCK do you think your parents always told you to get good grades in school. WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK DO YOU THINK COLLEGES AND INSTITUTIONS EXIST
The world knew life was a pile of trash when you were just a kid, so they drilled it into you. Media, society, your peers, family, teachers.
>Do you want to spend your life flipping burgers Heh Heh
That wasn't just idle chatter. It was them trying to tell you that without an education your soul will be ripped out and extinguished.
>>27804228
>your soul will be ripped out and extinguished
Even with an education this will happen. The only difference is that you make more money and have more expensive things.
It doesn't actually make you happier.

The only jobs I've been able to get are ones where the recruiters probably didn't even bother looking at the CV because they expected half the people to flake out within a week anyway. Turning up and being able to read and write was pretty much enough to get it.
>tfw the interview for my current call centre job was two questions:
>can you use a computer?
>can you start work tomorrow?
By use, they meant can I turn it on, move a mouse, and type on a keyboard at all.
Don't get me wrong, education is great, because it gives you a few more years of something that could be called enjoyment before the decades of wagcuckery begin. Dropping out of school at 16 would be better for muh career, muh earning potential, but I would have had less enjoyable years of life as a result.

College kid here (albeit in my last semester) who's worked full time for three summers. I would much rather ONLY have to work between 8-5 than what I'm doing right now, which between classes, homework, and holding down a part time job, consumes 90% of my waking hours and gives me much more stress than a mere 40 hours a week does. I can't wait to graduate.

Being physically intimidating isn't that important for the average post. The main reason businesses hire security is to deter opportunistic crime simply by being present, and to have someone around to report incidents reliably.

OP i was a neet and getting a job in a call center really helped me get over some stuff. I was way less of an autist after that. The job was kinda fun too

Maybe after a while, but I have finally managed to build some social connections in the town I'm living in now and I don't know if I want to abandon them. 45 minutes isn't that far away, but it's far enough I can't just drop by someone's house.

It's for a lumberyard and flooring company. I'm from the US.
