Can you relate to him?

Manual labor fucking sucks

Yes, i'm 23 and dont know what to do with my life, i recently graduated and i'm working a shitty job and i dont know what career i should do, i dont want a crappy job that i'll hate into my 40s.

that is the flaw of the movie, but in the original version the foreman was gonna come up to Peter and Lawrence and give them a hard time, to drive the point home that work sucks no matter what you do. The suits cut that scene out, but you can see the foreman walking up to them as the camera crane pulls up when the scene is ending.

Yep, quit my job two years ago. Just didn't go looking for another. Got some sweet disability checks for major depression. I gave up now just hoping I die in my sleep.

But at the end Peter was clearly happy with doing construction

yes. from 2004 to 2011, people called me Peter

Yes but that's before the foreman comes over and acts like a dick, thus perpetuating the cycle that work sucks no matter what you do.

>get a degree I don't care about
>get a shit job
>quit after three weeks (i just left one day, didn't tell anyone and didn't answer any calls after)
>went NEET for about 3 years
>got a job delivering chinese food
>in the mean time started working out
>i'm now a police officer

Just over half a year until my two year probationary period is over. I'm actually enjoying my life.

>police officer
So you bully people and kill niggers for a living.
Topkek.

A very low percentage of people die in their sleep. You're better off doing the car in the garage or parking on train tracks

Dude are you me
What do you do

I'm not American so none of that, majority of my actual policing duties consists of dealing with civil disputes.

No, I don't relate to getting cucked.

Was that a scene?
I didn't see that in the movie

Intredasting. I wish they left that in, I bought the ending until I actually entered the workforce.
I'm sure there are people who prefer physical work to being cooped up in an office and would take getting yelled at directly by a dickhead foreman to passive aggressive corporate bureaucracy, but Peter seems like he's just lazy.

how about you read the thread, you illiterate fuck

Kek what? What happened after 2011?

are you fucking retarded

As I mentioned here
It's in the original script and they filmed it, but it was cut for a more light-hearted ending

No. I work in labour and can't relate to office cucks who haven't done any real work in their entire lives.

>work sucks no matter what you do
I work from home and it's pretty decent. I've only been at it for a year, so maybe it'll end up being shitty, but it took me a lot less time to decide that working at a factory.

got a different job

still sucks, but people dont associate me with peter gibbons

I have sleep apnea. Only a matter of time

I worked from home for 5 years, I went a little stir crazy and the monotony got awful, thought it would be a smart move to go to a wage job. I don't particularly hate it, especially because I'm basically paid to watch Netflix all night, but fyi, I really miss having completely autonomy in my life and right now I basically check my email every day to see if they're going to start recruiting again. Stick with that shit as long as you can sustain yourself.

I don't like paying bills

The grass is always greener on the other side.

I relate in the sense of being stuck in a dead end job with no room for promotion. However, he traded a cushy office job for manual labour. He would be better off fucking off with the money he embezzled.

lose some weight you fat fuck, or just kill yourself and stop being a worthless fat fuck pussy

why are manual laborers so insecure?

I'm not a wagecuck slave, no

...

how could you not

I watched this as a kid and I figured this was what all adults were like

Yes. I work long night security shifts where absolutely nothing happens. It's show up, make sure everybody leaves, then ~10 hours of hoping nothing goes wrong with the facility, then let everyone in, and go home. I do close to zero with my "work". My job is being present.
I can relate to the bosses thing, sort of. I don't have 6 (or whatever) bosses but I have 1 very annoying one. He's a good guy and all because he gave me the job after a joke of an interview, but he must be losing his mind or has some kind of experimental autism. He will text me asking "Are the gates shut? Alarm set?" I'll say "Yes, the gates are shut and the alarm is set." then he'll text me about 40 minutes later to say "Alarm set? All good there?" and I'll say "Yes, alarm is set and it's all good." then he will call right before he goes to bed to say "Everything good there?" and I'll say "Yep, normal night." I work 3 nights a week and this will happen for at least two of them. He also has zero issues with telling you the same story time and time again only days apart.
I'm 24 with a dad body and none of this feels real.

Being a donkey is nothing to be proud of

I relate and still relate to the sense that if I had all the money in the world, I would just do nothing. I mean sure I'd travel the world or some typical rich guy shit like that but in the end I have no drive or motivation to do something worthwhile. I don't care about finding the cure for cancer, writing the next best piece of literature, or building homes. I essentially just want to do absolutely nothing except enjoy the money I have and what it can get me.

Heh

He's right, though. Only turbo fatties get Fat Apnea.

My dad has it and he has never been fat.
So, wrong.

Cool story bro

Yeah it can be genetic. Some people's throat muscles droop sufficiently when relaxed to cause it, even without obesity.

Thanks.

No.

I don't have a gf

Who do you watch Kung Fu with?

literally me except i graduated a year ago
does your family give you shit too?

>easy stress-free do-nothing job
>off every weekend
>consistent hours
>paid well enough to afford his own apartment
>good looking enough to bag prime jennifer aniston

I would put up with a little rush hour traffic and my boss occasionally asking me to come in on Saturday (overtime, oh no!) for this guys fucking life.

Yes I'm a QA for a shitty software company in the south. We make off brand programs that already exist.

not the same person, but I have apnea due to condylar resorption. Getting surgery for it this year but it's not always fat related

Well, he's a captain, for Pete's sake.

>my boss occasionally asking me to come in on Saturday
This is the one part I never understood
Was he really in a job environment where he couldn't just say "no"?

You're an absolute cuck if you're a male QA. QA jobs are for women and fags.

I'm not a male user nor did I say I was.

>wagecuck

I'm pretty sure Peter was a salary man. He wouldn't be so devastated working weekends if he actually got paid a lot more for it.

What the fuck are you then.

haha you fuckin chinlett, what a fag

Well there are only two genders and If i'm not a male I must be...oh come on you can figure it out.

was he our guy

Wasn't the problem that they were downsizing so everyone felt like they needed to kiss ass and say yes to everything so they didn't get laid off

Yes. First time I watched it the hypnotize scene made me feel deeply relaxed, and then when he started doing fuck-all at work and doing what he wanted I felt a deep feeling of satisfaction slowly wash over me.

>only two genders

Nice try shitlord

>There are only two genders
Triggered

I unironically liked this story.

why is this allowed?

It was, they were all afraid of getting the boot.

Also there are males QA. I don't think you know what QA do you sexist pig.

wish that was my job desu
what do you do to pass the time?

he shitposts on Sup Forums user
i like the ending user

I'm a 36 year old attorney with 2 kids. Fuck this faggot, I'm next level apathetic about my job.

y-y-y ou can get d-d-disability for d-d epression senpai?
why am i not living the neet life

Nope.

>work from home
>Make an OK salary
>Make royalties as I'm in the games industry
>Everyone thinks my job is hard, but it's easy as fuck
>Wake up at 11am and work until 3pm
>Have made 70k this year so far on royalties

The easy life.

Depends on the labour, had a friend that cleaned death animals from the road.

Happiest motherfucker on earth, he barely lifted a finger twice a day.

Yeah there was something almost spiritual about that....

i cant find any source about an alternate ending

Are you otherwise ugly? If not, just get an Insurance or Real Estate license and coast making $40-60k a year. You have the free time to study and the tests are simple.

Just kill yourselves.

Every night, 10 hours straight? The absolute madman.

Mobile game, porn, or Steam workshop?

You need EXTENSIVE medical records. I had 14 years of failed prescriptions, two mental ward stays, unable to keep a job since 2011. Electroshock therapy twice. So now I just sleep all day and shit post for the last two years. No, I have not gotten tired of it.

If you go to college try to get a useful degree so is not a waste of time and money.

Stem or a business degree.

based depressed neet-user

For about 7 years, yes. Then I switched careers to a more "creative" field. I make less money though I don't work ridiculous unpaid overtime and I'm now a generally more happy and satisfied person as corny as it sounds.

Career changes can seem intimidating but if you HATE your job, fuck, give it a shot.

>Electroshock therapy.

Jesus, i thought that shit was illegal. How is it like anyway?

No because i'm not a cubicle cuck

>le everyone should be STEM or business major
You are what's wrong with the world.

Games publishing. It's easy as fuck. I don't even MAKE the games, man. Automated income. On top of my salary I'm hoping to make 20k a month soon.

Also I live in Hungary, so i barely pay much of rent and shit.

I almost went to law school until I read numerous anecdotes from litigators and lawyers who hate their lives

Joined the navy instead

Ok dude what do you do exactly.

Help some bros out. Are you a dev? A tester?.

Wait, how the fuck does that work? What do you do exactly?

...

It's not like it used to be. They sedate you. Basically sleep through it.

I did 12 hour night shifts for about a year, working security. Only "work" I had to do was a 10 minute patrol every 3-4 hours. Other than that I just watched the TV / shitposted on my phone. Towards the end I couldn't get to sleep in the daytime and didn't give a shit if I was caught so I would just sleep between patrols and do whatever I the fuck wanted in the day.

I work as a programmer in a bank and i can 90% relate to peter.

Only difference is i have no friends and no qt Jennifer Aniston GF.

Do you get a gun?

A refugee could do your job. Count your blessings.

I don't understand how this film did so poorly in the theaters.

I was in engineering grad school and then unemployed
I just interviewed for an IT job
I hope i get it

good luck

So is like an administrative position?.

When you say games publishing i think take two, Activision those guys.
We know they dont make the games but they have all the funding.

I have his name I'm stuck in a job I hate surrounded by shit cunts.

Should I just become a construction guy? his neighbor seemed like a pretty chill dude.

I joined the air force and it's just office space but with uniforms and admin punishment

What bank?


I work for a company that sells software to banks

>waaaah muh boring cushy job in a nice air conditioned building where I've already made enough in my 20's to afford a big apartment, new car, and nice suits, and I get to go home to fuck my hot gf or hang out with my chill work friends or neighbor
Fucking boomers and Gen X'ers I swear...

I worked for Morgan Stanley in the back office and my life was pretty much identical to peters. Soul crushing. Then I got extremely ill and hospitalised for 4 months and now I'm on the dole. I don't know if I wanna go make to that sort of work, it feels like slavery. I'm thinking about trying to some sort of promotion for artists or business, something that st least let me watch creative people if not join them.
