Sometimes I look at my coworkers and wonder if they feel the same...

[eod8989]

Nobody came into either so I'm here by myself

[GuineaDago585]

There is no work man. I'm pretty sure the internet and automation just took over. I'm gonna have to find a factory job.

I’m with you man. This morning has been boring as fuk.

I helped a buddy work a food stand at a festival this weekend. First “retail” gig since I was a teenager and I left there feeling way better than I do at this mind melting office position. The fresh air, interacting with the real world instead of a digital one, making people happy rather than typing numbers into a machine.

Sure, dealing with the general public can suck. There one was cocksucker I served, but 95% are pleasant. At the office all I do is stare at a screen and my coworkers are miserable toxic chit talking zombies.

A factory might not be great. I’ve looked into it in the past. The pay is near minimum wage and they seem to seek out immigrants, but some sort of trade where you can move around would be better for you IMO brah. The office life is a dead end road to rot land.

Thing is I don't care about work enough to go to school. I'm almost 34 and don't care anymore. The whole 9-5 life is a scam to keep you tired and not able to do other things.

But yeah I've looked around, other jobs pay about the same but with a ton more responsibility and probably more hours. I work like 26 hours per week now and even I'm tired of it. I can't imaging sitting in a cube or working on a factory line for 40 hours man.

I can't connect with any of my coworkers either and like I said they are having trouble hiring new dependable workers since covid. It's just so exhausting deal with it all.

There has to be something else man

The 9-5 is an absolute scam. It’s just the default setting to this game of life we live, which makes things appear good “enough.” In reality we’re wasting away by playing along. I’m just short of a decade younger than you and already feel the burnout from the endless cycle of wage slavery.

Try to keep a positive outlook man. I trust there are better opportunities on the horizon. Never losing hope is the key to making it. Once you’ve lost hope, tours over because you’ve resigned to the LDAR mentality.

[eod8989]

Damn another day with minimal work and people are just staring off into space. Back in the stall again bored as hell lol

[eod8989]

My coworker doesn't talk either we used to at least play classic rock in the room but he just sits there now and doesn't say anything

Not sure what is going on

[Cite]

What would make that “day in the life” of a wagie better would to add a populated gym. Nothing worse than seeing a gym packed with people after work

So fkin accurate. I just use the fitness center in my apartment building during the week now. 9-5ers crowd the gym on week days.

[eod8989]

Just ran out of work now getting anxiety again

[mrjolly2323]

No work to do so I’m just here looking at random chit on the internet. Makes for a long, long day. All my coworkers are attention seekers as if it’s a contest to see who can get the most attention. I hate it here srs.

Same I finish my work so now I'm just sitting in the chit stall for the 5th time today

Legs are crampin man

[eod8989]

Idk if I should just sit in the stall all day or leave

My legs are hurting like fuk

[eod8989]

Having so much anxiety im about to pass out. Literally nothing to do and people just talk about tv shows and sports scores. I don't understand this why doesn't anyone have hobbies anymore or talk about them? I'm about to leave again

[mrjolly2323]

I get that, I constantly take “bathroom breaks” just to gtfo out of the office.

[Bojangles711]

Sometimes I despise work but at least I work alone. I hate working as part of a team because of all the workplace politics. I couldn’t survive in an office.

[eod8989]

I get that, I constantly take “bathroom breaks” just to gtfo out of the office.

I've taken 10 trips to the bathroom today and sat here 15 minutes each since there is nothing else to do

I don't even see anyone working just staring at a monitor

Automation took over or something because there's barely any work anymore

[GuineaDago585]

Standing at the urinal dink in hand miscing with the other hand as we speak ded fkin srs lmao

[JayCeeDenton]

You need Jesus dead srs

Thanks to Jesus Christ I can wake up each day and thank that Lord that I'm alive and have what few things I have

Having employment is not a bad position to be in, let alone having a home, food to eat, water, electricity, and internet

You can always dedicate time towards pursuing a new goal if you choose to, there is more to life than working and lifting

But if you get right with God then you have victory over the world, so no matter what happens, you know it will be okay in the end

I am not a rich man or anything, but that doesn't really matter so much because this life is temporary and then there is eternity

r/antiwork ---->

put.

Nah, op is right.

Corporate America peaked in the 80s and 90s. Better salary, lower COL. These days you have to walk on egg shells, take sexual harassment courses, etc.

Honestly if you can't WFH you're better off self employed working 60hrs/wk till you make it.

[Joesky20]

I went from being a nurse working 3 12's, absolutely hating it, now I'm doing healthcare administration at corporate at a local healthcare organization. First time ever working in an office setting with a computer and cubicle. It's not too bad, there's like 6 other people in the office, all bigwig ceo/10k a day directors and VP's of their departments. They all have golf greens in their offices so we can play golf from time to time. But 85% of the time they're in meetings and it is dead quiet in there and I have no one else to talk to. I only have to be in the office M/W/F and work from home T/TH which is fookin sweet. I get most of my work done by 12pm. I usually just get up and leave by 3:30pm, even though I'm supposed to stay until 5pm. I literally don't give 2 chits. Fire me.. they won't though. Between 12-3:30 I go have an hour lunch, come back to the cubicle, knock out an hour of homework, misc and devise my workout for the day. Not too shabby

[eod8989]

Automation and computers must have taken over because yet again I come in and there's no work. Not sure what is going on but I'm about to leave again. I'm barely able to even work 25 hours per week now

[eod8989]

I can see why people have given up working since it's all pointless now due to computers

[eod8989]

Thing is I can't even go sit at my desk because my supervisor just sits in here all day because he doesn't have any work either. Neither does my coworker. He just stares at his monitor all day.

[eod8989]

So basically what we have going on is there is barely any work for the department but 95% of it is put on me while nobody else does anything all day

It's absurd and I've never seem anything like this in my 15 years in the workforce

[eod8989]

Another day where there's a little work to do but everyone else is just sitting at their desk staring at a monitor. Back to taking another dump.

[nn586]

if you dont like it, do something about it and stop bitching like a female

[eod8989]

Have bad depression from just standing here all day it's so pointless

[eod8989]

Damn another day with barely any work

Meanwhile I don't even see anyone else working all day

How are we here 40 hours per week if there is no work to go around?

[eod8989]

Ran out of work again nothing to do but sit on the chitter

[eod8989]

Man I'm gonna have to leave again my legs are hurting from sitting on the toilet so long but there is absolutely nothing to do
