Right now I work from home, but I kinda miss the office a bit, the food was better and I would take a walk everyday for lunch, you could even meet a nice girl and invite her to eat lunch and ice cream with you

Nowadays I just walk from my computer to the door to get doordash, it's fucking depressing
At least I don't have to commute everyday, overall working from home is better, but the whole thing is demented

Yeah but it's either that or cup noodles everyday. Assuming you're poor like I am your only real options in life are sacrificing your body health long-term for better food or eating poorly and becoming malnourished/diseased short-term. I'd kinda be more inclined to NEET again if I had the option to get tendies everyday instead of just cup noodles but I don't. You'd mostly avoid your body eating itself but getting scurvy would still suck.

I think the best you can do is at least go for a long walk (ie at least a mile) every day. You'll still be fucked long-term but the sun exposure and light exercise will reduce the severity. This is especially true if you're a lucky son of a bitch working from home, all that comfy-ness is causing blood to pool to your legs.

>>251
It's just that all seems to meaningless, what's what bothers me the most, like we are just working ants

>>254
>blood to pool to your legs
That shit is no joke, I've heard of some people who almost died

>>255
I don't see food as meaningless especially if you eat at your local restaurants and not the usual fast food chains. In a way you get to connect with people indirectly, like learn what they consider is good and not just slop bowls. I think that's nice and definitely helps me avoid thinking about the crushing mundaneness of the future.

>>260
Earlier today I was actually thinking about visiting local restaurants more instead of ordering through apps

It's that time again, Sunday is ending and a new week is starting

What even is the point of grinding nowadays? Nobody even has children anymore
I think I could get a job making 4x the money I make right now I'm more comfortable with my low stress work from home job and I save most of the money I make

Watching wagies commuting to work every morning
I still fucking hate my job though

Another long day

You know what really sucks? Working at a startup and watching the founder bumble his way into millionaire. Then do the math and realize you'd have to work 4000 years on that shitty startup wage he paid you to get same wealth.

>>582
I think startups are only worth it when you get a % of it

God I hate being a wageslave

At the end of the day we're all fucked, so just make the best out of it, start something on the side, get a hobby, do something with friends, read a book, whatever really just get something that breaks you out of the menial cycle of work -> home -> shitpost on online forums -> repeat. just so you don't end up demented or killing yourself

Holiday ahead

>>742
Another one incoming, boys

Wageslaving is fucking kill me anons

I've thought about breaking free and start my own painting company. I doubt I'll ever become rich but there's something alluring about blasting away a dirty fence with a pressure washer and then restoring it with paint sprayer as if it were a brand new thing again.

Like If I could clock in a few $100-$200 2-3 hour projects every week I could laze around doing jack shit most of the week.

>>959
That actually sounds pretty good, being able to make your schedule

Stress sweat is brootal. Literally having it rn despite sitting at home with no responsiblities kek.

I just wanna be able to take a nap when I'm tired, my life would be so much better if I could do that

>>1022
Same, can't sleep during the day.

I hate being a wagie

Being a commie is even worse so what am I supposed to do except suck up to the capitalist machine?

>>1191
Maybe working just inherently sucks

I think communism sort of works for small tight knit communities where everyone knows each other. It just seems to fall apart whenever you include strangers who have secret ulterior motives when they're acting nice toward you.

At the same time there's definitely something wrong when only like 1% of US Americans are self employed and 99% are forced to work for a faceless corporation who couldn't a fuck if you died at the office until the stench became so bad someone complained to HR.

But yeah IMHO being self employed and consequently a family business (when you have kids and they choose to help you willingly) might be what people need in life. Corporations will do everything in their power to crush those dreams obviously since their only purpose for existing can be boiled down to "Profit line MUST go up!".

More than anything i just wanna work part time. Not a big spender, 60k salary would be enough for me (50k pre covidflation).

A permanent tattoo with the company logo for an interview

>>1219
That's incredibly sad, a tattoo is something you're supposed to think a very long time about before getting because it indirectly influences future generations (ie kids/family).

>>1220
Unfortunately you sometimes wagies have to enter these humiliation rituals in order to get a job

>>1219

Surely this isn't real. That's even lower than cattle

Been working remote for 6 odd years now. Started investing in sp500 ETFs around 5 years ago and they have done wonderfully. Now I am reaching a significant net worth milestone and it has me wondering if I should quit and do my own thing for a couple years. I don't really know if I'll have kids or not, and enjoying my time before I hit 30 seems like a great idea

I know other programers used to do this. RHS and various literal whos. But I'm reluctant because entering the market again in, say 2 years, would likely be impossible.

Severance pay for being laid off would be way better than quitting.

I'm not strained at all with work, it's like a do nothing gig, and I don't mean to sound whiny. I guess I'm just thinking out loud. I don't have friends to discuss this with irl

>>1225
I think I'd only leave my job if I could be relatively sure I could do my own thing forever. Not necessarily stop working, but working for myself in some way
If the job isn't that straining, I say stay for a while

Unfortunately it's real

>>1235
Dam, he's still a horrible human being for even thinking this was a good idea but I respect him for owning up to it. Most people in that position of power will do everything to cover up what utter demonic vampires they are (ie Fauci pleading the fifth 100X).

I would work less hours for less pay.
Why is that not an option in capitalism?
Half my hours and half my pay, I'll gladly take it.

>>1280
I think it has to do with

> costs associated with employing someone (system onboarding, training, book keeping)
> manager validation (more full time minions feels gooder)
> fallacy of more hours produces more

if you had a company, would you allow that?

Good luck

Stress from work is making me stink again

It's cheaper to pay people the minimum wage possible for their respective field and have people purchase their own domicile + provisions than it is to keep a slave like in the old chattel system
Just a fun fact.:^)

>>1637
Yes that really feels like it
Work has been killing me lately
