Wageslave feels thread

ITT: People who weren’t smart enough to go into STEM or don’t have the entrepreneurial and risk taking skills to start their own business. I’ll start;

>be me
>finishing up transaction report#50 billion for Company X
>bitch collegue who's worked there for 20+ years bursts out of office
>"Hey you guys! The title is wrong! Where are the collumns for this company?? The calculation is all wrong! You guys really are hopeless!"
>take a look at it and fix it up
>"oh hey "bitch collegue", could you prepare the payroll for employee #231?"
>"WHY? Ah I don't know how to do it!!!!"
>sigh a little bit "well it's really easy you just get the format and input the data and copy this and thi-"
>"AH WELL THEN you do it ok??"
>finish payroll for bitch collegue.
>end of day bossman walks in
>bitch colleague grabs my finished payroll and presents it as her own work
>"oh yes this was very important, thank you bitch collegue!" says bossman
>mfw

Collogue or superior? Big difference

>be tradesman
>climb trees and use chainsaws all day
>blew the top out of an 80 ft white pine this morning
>get paid every week get to enjoy nature every day, free from an office environment


Sucks to suck

Sounds like a fun job.

I love the smell of fresh wood chips.

Grass isn't always greener on the other side

>be post grad for 4 years
>find out my prof is a complete nutcase when I'm too deep in already
>receive sometimes up to ~literally~ 100 rude emails per day telling me how I'm shit even tho I'm working 7 days a week
>barely any holidays
>family asking me constantly when I'll finally finish
>going to free events to eat more food
>prof won't let me publish my results
>when ever I have something great, I'm told its actually shit and need to start from scratch
>given contradictory requirements, for instance that an experiment graph is not correct until it rises exponentially from values of 0.4 to 0.99, but that the average value of the graph should also be 0.99 -- mathematically impossible.
>receive threats every few months of basically being kicked out
>mfw finally got my phd 2 months ago and the examiners said they were very impressed with my work
>still shitty publication record due to superviser, so pretty impossible to get a postdoc
>fuck academia too, not worth staying

Honestly I would do it for less. It’s just the right mix of danger/puzzle solving/being strong. Plus half the guys that work at my shop have degrees but they’re all spray techs that don’t get to do anything cool

Colleague but it's kinda weird since we're in the same department but we need each other and a handful of other people to make/authorise financial decisions.
Is it really good? idk my parents pressured me to get a degree because we're originally from South Africa and many 1st world countries would like it if you have a degree in something good like finance or computer science etc. Is it also good if it's like:
>5 years work experience as a forestry tradesman?

>work for a top 5 hospital
>get to help people
>105k
>$50/mo insurance
>33 days off a year
Life's good boys.

>wake up every day at 6
>spend hard earned wagebucks on train go get to work
>in office by 7:30
>spend rest do the day slaving in front of computer
>lunch time at last, read the news for 30 min
>continue slaving away
>eyes are strained af, back sore from slouching over
>4 o’clock, time to leave
>spend more wagebucks on train to get home
>go home and try to make use of what little time I have left before having to go to bed and doing the exact same shit the next day

At least I have the weekends...

If you have 5 years experience and your arborist certification you can go pretty much anywhere in the forestry industry. If you can prove you supplemented your education/experience with actual college courses you don’t even need a degree most times. Especially for commercial forestry. Conservation forestry on the other hand you should get a degree for just so you don’t risk damaging the ecosystem.

For instance I just got my certification, which marks 3 years of experience, plus taking a really long test. Now I can do anything in urban forestry. The real money is in side work, last week I spent all day taking down a neighbor’s oak and walked away with 1k cold hard cash

i'm a dishpig.
nuff said

Well medical anything is good if you get through it right? I've never heard of "a poor doctor or dentist" before.
Same except shift "in office" to 9 and come home at 5 or later sometimes. No train involved and too tired to do anything except shitpost and sleep and get ready to do the same thing tomorroww

Can't you quit and do freelance stuff?

I guess the trades really aren't a meme. I don't understand back home in SA people were paid shit pay for things like electrical wiring and plumbing but here in first world it's the big bucks. Maybe I think because the quality and especially SAFETY is a much bigger deal here and when the job is done it will last forever basically.

It still doesn't make sense though. Since I'm in Christchurch the city still looks like it was bombed by ISIS after the earthquake and all I see are Filipino migrant workers tearing up and re cementing the same portion of road 10 times. Either they're all here illegally or the employers are paying them a fraction of the cost idk

>be me

I just either goin' to kill myself now or somehow get this 6 month free visa to usa just to try it and see if i am worth at least a penny

don't wish me luck guys, nobody ever did before

HOLY shit that looks like the inside of a Subway restaurant.
t. first job was working at Subway
Were you in Statistics or actuarial science?

It all depends on the market. You can’t really outsource my trade because experience is the only thing that talks, and the rigors of the job/fear of heights keeps away anyone who doesn’t actually want to be there.

Anyone can level cement, not everyone wants to be 100 ft off the ground with only a rope and saddle holding you up

>I've never heard of "a poor doctor or dentist" before.

because you're not taking all varibles into account. on paper they make a good living. in reality they work hard as fuck, long as fuck, study for half an eternity and go 200k in debt, have to keep studying throughout their careers, and do 5 million hours of overtime throughout their lifes. the average dentist/dr isn't making much more than any other middle class professional.

Yeah my long-term goal is building a company.

Basically a related area to machine learning. Paranoid about doxing myself if I'm too specific.

Not an argument guy

why the fuck would you want a post doc, and why are you complaining about finishing a phd in 4 years, you fucking queer?

sorry I couldn't hear you over the sound of your woodchipper, are you going to spread some mulch too?

>Anyone can level cement,

You non-union guys make me laugh. Enjoy your big 18 bucks per hour and being a cripple by age 45.

>tfw gamergate inadvertently got me out of the wageslave life because I made the most of the opportunity at hand

Yep forgot that medical people have to study for like fifty years to get their position.It's the same with being a lawyer except it's hard as fuck, the market is saturated and to actually be a lawyer you have to be fucking good.
Yep. A lotta corporations are like little dynasties held in the power of a few people who are close friends and family. My fucking boss was a nobody until he mysteriously acquired funds and became a bigshot landlord. When the board of directors noticed this they invited him in and he's basically a right hand man now. Also the upper management always mysteriously "not there" is fucking spot on. I think last year some of the upper management went to Singapore to see the Grand Prix "because they felt like it". Fucking fuck when you are the boss you can literally do whatever you want....
Yeah I think as well with any job experience is what counts the most. Also yeah I think you're skills are gonna be really hard to replace!

Bump

I'm a pharmacist. I studied 2 years of prepharmacy coursework and then 4 years of pharmacy. $100k in debt. All in all, it's worth it. General rule of thumb in America is earning a salary higher than your school debt and it's manageable.
Idk what medical salaries are like in Oceania. I've seen that Oz is decent, but it's pitiful in NZ.

I hope you make it user. Make us proud!

>i sell oxy to poor whites and make loadsa munie!!!!!!!!!!

There's a 50-something year old woman in the office who looks like an actual ogre, she has lung cancer and still smokes, she plays free downloadable malware games all day and gets paid for it. Her job is just to answer the phone and put orders into the computer.

And guess who's the chump? heh...

$16 an hour office bro reporting in. I invest all my spare money and have a $20k ROTH at 26. With 10% annual growth average and contributing my yearly max, I’ll retire a millionaire. Sure the office life isn’t exciting, but it gets the job done.

I work in a hospital bud. I dose anticoagulation medications all day.

>anything I can’t fix on my own the company outsources to a bigger IT company to store data/operate servers and I just call them and they do it for me
>they all think I’m a genius
It’s pretty fucking comfy getting paid very well for something so easy. It’s gonna be real easy to get complacent in this job.

Compared to other first world nations salary in NZ in pretty shit in some cases

Be careful man. One wrong word and you'll be shit canned faster then a roach coach taco

I work 9 to 10 5 days a week at a shitty wageslave job. Get on suicidal salaryman level and then you can complain.

Too all the people whining in the thread, and this is coming from a mixed halfie, this is the future the world chose when we obliterated the final exultation of masculitinity that lie pregnant in the future of the reich. The world belongs to the chosen of yaweh as it was written by them in their talmud and we will all work tirelessly as they have prophesized as their slaves. Hitler knew this, and had a higher and brighter mission statement for man.

This it the future the 'allies' chose.

I understand I'm reaching, and connecting stuff that shouldn't be but it literally is how it is. Everything good runs downstream from the culture and the west doesn't have a cogent one anymore or ever again.

Do you want a care package Nippon man?

I’m extremely cautious about what I say, the people running the show there luckily are mostly men and seem like they have a good head on their shoulders and the women on the administrative side all like me so far. Any other IT anons in here? Wtf do you guys do all day when there’s nothing to fix or work on?

I work fo a*m*z*n on the floor fixing any errors and running lines. It's easy work but I have to carry eye drops and mint gum. Usually I talk and teach new workers or shoot the breeze with my managers. It's a great job for the pay I get and days I work.

GL senpai

my department is under IT and I think you all are a bunch of lazy fucks except one cool guy in there

Min wage

Get a job at Taco Bell, $14hr my nig

Nothing brings me joy other than alcohol any more and alcohol taxes here are cheap so i can imbibe as much as I please.

Wish I could find some good cheese and cereal here though.

what is a ROTH

Grow a pair and don’t let her do that. 90% of work is that.

Send po box and favorite types of food mang

Roth IRA is a retirement vehicle where you put in after tax money, but when you withdraw money the gains don't get taxed.

I actually was given an option to start a 401(k) any tips?

my dad did this on the side. He used to have my brother and I help him out, load the chopped wood.

then I went in to STEM and got a Msc so I can get paid 30k/year on 3 month contract renewals as a research assistant.

Part time gas station employee. I'm at a crossway dilemma. If I get a 9-5 I'll eventually kill myself, but if things stay the way they are and I have to apply for neetbux I'll kill myself.

Are there any other options?

It’s limited to $5500.

Be proud man! You're suffering for the future while they stay the same. Remember that gibs only last so long. I with at most 25 hours a week and live with 4 people to cover rent. If I'm ever in a tight bond that I couldn't feed myself I'll go to the welfare office.

what future? I'm putting aside a trivial amount (if anything) per month.

why are you LARPing as someone with an office job?

I know pol will hate me but don't get married... Yet. Don't tie yourself down with a weak rope. Save for the future and apply for better jobs! Hell I'll be a reference if you need it

Fuck off Japan. Just because you're forced to go to 飲み会 and spend three hours commuting that DOESN'T count as work faggot

#metoo

must be nice to work for a real company

a while back a new engineer needed more ram in her outdated PC, was running numerous [R] scripts

so they bumped up her PC to 8gb of ram! woo!

few weeks later IT guy comes back AND FUCKING TAKES THE RAM BACK OUT OF THE PC because it's "needed elsewhere"

That's no way to treat an engineer by a lowly IT guy

Don't know about you guys, but when I think IT it's all about installing Office and being the butt of every joke by the engineers

Gib maple soda and I'll gib real spic cola

rare pepe

No but seriously, every one thinks it is cool but it's really mind numbing and amazing when you get it to work right until your manager takes it to thier manager and claims it's Thiers

LMAO Grow some fucking balls and say it was your work you fucking pussy

I like the cut of your jib man

I had dreams of being a writer. Come adulthood, I realize any employed writer is a whore and the only successful fiction in the 21st century is porno or genre porno trash. If I can fuck around and live outside of the box until mid 60s then in my estimation it's a good life.

>why the fuck would you want a post doc
It's a requirement in many areas of STEM. at least one or two 2-year appointments before you're "ready"

I'm the epitome of the wageslave cuck. Power bullying is very real and I'm very scared of them if they use it on me.

Work for UPS. You'll be working with Bros unloading trailers

>Working 13 fucking hours a day for Mr.Satoshiberg and getting paid shit
I'm LOLing at your life
Move to a country that doesn't fucking suck

Gonna need your login.

Well thats one way to ruin a Pepe

>wageslave feels

Wouldn't know, I saw Bitcoin was a big deal when it was cheap and bought a lot and held over the years.

Keep this

Well shoulda said something.
when i was working at one of the casinos around here i apparently had some girl taking credit for some of the smaller shit i was doing that was not part of my job (i was a janitor basically took drink glasses etc etc) well one day our sup was giving out shift it's weekly lil review he would do and i noticed she was getting credit for shit i had done said something and she backpeddled hard i ended up getting the extra hours and better position that she would of gotton if i had not said anything or not noticed.

most of the women staff that did clean up were there to really just deal with drunkish girls and to check the bathroom sometimes drag them out of the restroom blah blah.

hell man just saying you don't have to not say anything even if you need them it's better to put a stop to that shit but i'm used to working with niggers often and that teaches you pretty quick to not stay quiet.

In 50 years, will people even be able to make out early memes?
Will Jpeg forever erase the dankness of the early 2000s?

>live in studio apt in low cost of living area

>frugal, only drink/smoke on weekends
>sometimes expenses are only $800 a month

I was like you OP, but I realized I'd rather be a cheapass semi-hobo than deal with managers and directors coming by my desk and shitting down my throat while all I could do was small and laugh to appease them. When I started having genuine thoughts and plans of shooting up the place I quit on the spot and said never again.

Wanna talk about it?
Hell man I've only been on Sup Forums for about 2yrs

Jeff would be a trillionaire by now and you and I would be getting paid a lot more if they totally revamped the hiring process. On one hand I'm glad there's so many of them because it makes it a lot easier to stick out and level up simply by showing up and doing my job. I have pretty good rates, but because I work with so many worthless pieces of shit I look like a machine by comparison. Don't even have to try to win those power hours :^)

It has nothing to do with your age by the way. They know we're altruistic by nature and it translates to the workplace.

IT people are the worst niggers in existence. Mine constantly fuck around with the firewall or push unnecessary Windows updates that force my work computer to be restarted. Then if I ever actually need something they can do, like to simply restart my machine because it froze or something (its a remote), it takes them all fucking day to go do it. Dumbass comp sci drop out niggers.

They get super scared when you stand up to them.

desu its very easy to get moved up in a franchise quick-serve setting because of the high turnover. i got hired off the street as an assistant manager and had my own store in 6 months.

honestly i don't think its worth it given the insane hours and work-life imbalance. i have 2-3 hours to myself on a workday cause 12 hour shifts are regular. i'd rather get payed less but not have to work more than 40 hours.

why not just kill that guy?

i dont understand, society is broken in the ways it is because nobody kills people that clearly deserve to be killed

I had same shit job for 3 years thats 11 bucks an hour, ragequit it one day, now three months unemployed. Sent in 100+ resumes, most with well written cover letters. Yesterday had another failed interview, my first one since i started looking, It all comes down to social skills, and i got none. I always was a hard worker, had great attendance. I speak multiple languages fluently and a quick learner. My resume is decent, too. I am honestly giving up on job search. Fuck this shit.

I've been coming out of my shell lately man. I'm actually teaching classes and have a better interaction with my coworkers. I honestly like this job alot because it pushes me to be my best and get passed anyone in my way

Hey im happy for you user

Honestly man, you have no ambition or if you do you put it in the wrong place. One piece of advice I was given was that people who give interviews don't want a know it all. They want someone to mold and replace them when they either get promoted or makes them look good
