just another day in neoliberal hell

==IT'S GOVERNMENT BULLSHIT== in a really loud voice

Can't wait for global warming to kill everyone

This was a couple jobs ago but

Cue months of financial instability

Thanks, job creator™

really makes you think…

Don't worry, you'll join us when the neolibs decide to pull another greece

And what esteemed field do you work in? Shitposting?

Being a porky manager is ideologically inconsistent

OP here
I'm actually starting a pretty decent job next year, but I have to do this in the mean time until the position is ready.
Either way, why would porkies be leftist? Of course working class people are going to be pissed off while the bourgeois turn their noses up.

The conclusion that we can draw from your post is that unskilled work should be shit and demeaning and that those who work in "shitty" jobs deserve it and that we should not do away with shit jobs or even consider making "shitty" jobs not so shit.

Oh and that we should strive to work full-time, the way you typed your post suggests that you aren't aware of increasing worker productivity with technological advancement, and that you would happily work the same hours tomorrow even if an innovation meant that your current workload could be completed in half the time or less, and all for the same wage I would imagine.

We should not be striving to compete with medieval peasants or even 3rd worlders to work 6 days a week (arguably even 7) for 14 hours or more a day. What good is technological advancement if you remain enslaved?

I love telling customers "no." I love seeing them get asshurt because I'm not being subservient enough to them. It's the one sliver of solace about being a wage slave.

I'm living the NEET life but decided to go back to school for politics. I just want to help workers as much as I can.

It's easy for people to say retail workers "don't have it as bad" as people in the third world, but I notice the people who say that have never worked retail or fast food. Everyone should have to do it imo.

Good on you, man.

you too.

what even do?

in the GDR it's claimed everyone was "forced" to learn physical labor, in example Gregor Gisy, skilled cattle breeder and lawyer before taking a role in the annexation through west germany

First of all, learn how to put your thoughts together because none of that shit made any sense. You should start writing as therapy and as a way to help the Left. Write your experiences and critiques, veterans' point of view are highly valuable.

...

Oh how could I forget

Great to know our military is harboring Nazis now, but for some reason I'm not surprised.

It was the worst day I ever had working there and even the best days were still shit.

This person is clearly not a native English speaker I doubt it is your military.

soon comrade we will share all lands ;_; soon

isnt the average age here like, 21?

You forgot your pic

Really makes you think…

You should ice the fool.

I've worked construction for $8/hr, retail, at a supermarket, and at a carrot processing plant. Times were shitty but I still managed to make the best of it and for whatever reason I only have mostly good memories.

You all seem like a bunch of spoiled pussies tbh if you consider retail or fast food to be the worst it can get honestly…


I'm not. It's just disheartening to realize this board is mostly teenagers who ended up becoming leftists through jobs in fucking retail which I considered cushy at one point in my life.

I waited tables for nearly four years, actually considered it fairly laid-back work. Only hurt myself once, no drug testing, free drinks and food, etc. Now I work as a maintenance tech in a chocolate factory making $15/hr. The pay is nice, some benefits, treated fairly well. Still, most days I just feel like shit even knowing my life isn't bad… just the thought of working 40-50hr weeks for the next four decades makes me feel like none of this is worth it if this is all life has to offer. I mean, I don't even get more than a week of paid vacation, so it's work five days a week, recover one day, and then my only free day is spent going to meetings for my socialist party. Totally exhausted and depressed despite having it good for the most part.

feels conflicting

Hoping to never work a real job in my life. I tried it once in high school and it was awful. No wonder people become alienated from this shit. It's mind-numbing and soul crushing.

academia is even fucking worse lad, just wait.

Don't really know what to say.

Before: Work as security guard.Feels like a useless job, but easy. Do a lot of different duties. Meet different people in difficult life situations. Talk to them. Meet and talk to social workers. Sometimes get to yell at entitled bratty rich kids. Treated like shit by the general public. Not fun.

Now: Work as assistant in kindergarten. Pretty rewarding job, but sometimes heart breaking. Watch and raise kids all day long. Sometimes kids I know come from difficult homes ravaged by the symptoms and results of capitalism. I feel some of my co-workers see the workplace as a factory to make kids ready for school. They don't make an effort to connect with the children and some seem to be unable to really understand them. Mostly concerned with children meeting certain criteria, which is good and all, but as human beings children also need to connect with the people around them and their emotional well-being suffers when this need is not met. Knowledge of developmental psychology is lacking. Frustrating. Many parents really like me. Parents that I know are in difficult situations light up when I meet them, some give me small presents at holidays. Children cheer when I come into work. Swell with pride.

Soon done with uni (bachelor's degree in sociology and in psychology) and am sick and tired of academia, applying for jobs in criminal care, refugee care, and drug care as adviser and counselor. Can't wait for better pay to support hobbies and allow me to spend money on friends and family.

Helping my father with small construction work around my childhood home has become my idea of fun. Somewhat regret that I never got into (professional) construction or cooking.

amazing I know

You dared not become a mindless drone and now pay the price.


I'm 31. I'd say average is 25.

You have a lot of alienation ahead of you.

I overheard a normie I know talking about how they're going to fire this teenager that started working for them part-time without any notice because he gave them his volleyball club schedule and asked them to work around it.

thanks comrade, but the lies at stake were that i threatened him. considering i am woman and he is man with >factor of 2 upper body strength it's a pretty ridiculous accusation. if i leave well enough alone i make him look like the fucking liar he is.

yeah i'm pretty sure i got kicked out of my last job for prioritizing some school-related shit.

retail ain't what it used to be, as the class gap widens it's nonstop abuse from rich assholes and neverending backbreaking labor on the backend. i honestly don't mind hard work and even prefer it so long as i'm able to irl shitpost on the shift and am not being micromanaged by some 19 year old with a pine cone up her butt. it's the emotional labor of pretending that i'm always happy to be there that i despise.

Omg you are off your joy.

WE HAVE A DOWNER HERE!

srs someone dx me with depression and give me 200mg prozac stat! me good little worker bee now. happy & grateful to have literally backbreaking underpaid job where i am target of everyone's abuse. sign on back say "kick me".

funnily enough taking a sick day had the exact same result, really causes one to contemplate.

Could explain the lack of resistance.
Everyone is medicated off their faces
