Quote from: Kitsuné on May 08, 2017, 01:41:26 PMWhat kind of work are you doing? I work 10.5 hour days so that I have 3 days off in a row. It sucks too, but it's worth it.I work for painting at my college over the summer. It's pretty brain dead work. But it's from 7am to 3:30pm with two half hour breaks. It's a 40 hour work week at minimum wage so there's that I guess. Everyone kept congratulating me like it was done kind of huge achievement. Like yay I get to work

Like yay I get to workThis only highlights the cancerous mindset in capitalistic societies that your worth is the value of money you make/the job you have.Idk how old you are, but the only real takeaway you can get from this is it's something you can chalk up for experience to put on resumes for future better paying jobs.

protip: never work a job where you have to interact with other humansmy job is i dick around in a big garage and fix broken tractors and golf cartsalmost 0 stress

Older people always says kids will like capitalism once they get their first real job.

My current job is a massive improvement over retail jobs.The worst part was when they assigned me to the clothing section.I. Hated. ItI never knew where anything was and sorting it out was such a fucking nightmare. Either way, I'm glad you found something better.The only thing that made that job tolerable for me was texting my significant other at the time on my breaks.
That's good. Yeah, retail is the best way to really learn to hate people. Self entitled people are the worst, and this isn't anymore apparent than at retail, and airports.

It's the whole "oh you're young, so if you're working 12 hours a day you're being productive" (something my mother more or less said).I don't think you understand how cancerous the mindset over here can be. And if you complain about it? You're fucking lazy and worthless.The only response you get when you bring up a valid point? "Deal with it." or "That's just how it is."Segregation was "just how it is" but you don't see people accepting that in today's world (shitty analogy probably, but fuck you. It's just the whole mindset that the status quo is a-okay is shitty).
well i never heard of it over herewe just deal with it
Quote from: Pepsi on May 09, 2017, 12:00:46 AMwell i never heard of it over herewe just deal with itThe U.S. and U.K. are vastly different in the job mindset, keep in mind. We still don't have maternal leave over here, along with issues with healthcare with our jobs, and various other things. We're far too capitalistic that we have to step on others in the job market to more or less get somewhere in life.
Rise and shine wageslaves. Lol
Per chance, what school do you have? If you don't like such jobs, ever considered getting some certification for equipment operation and finding a job in the oil or mining sector. Hell even road construction. The pay is very generous, and although hours are long, the overtime and subsistence pay is alot. They sometimes even pay for meal and gas. Though I will say work will be sometimes boring and hard and can go full day, from , 10 hours to longer and usually carries on all days of a week. But the way you get days off will be done differently. So instead of weekends you have 10 days on 4 days of or 2 weeks on and 1 week off. Though at the end of the day the money you make in that week can be equal to a month wage for anyone in a real job.Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk

It sucked. Older people always says kids will like capitalism once they get their first real job. I don't buy it, especially when there are countries with only 35 hour work weeks that are considered full time. Fuck this country's obsession with working yourself to death.
