Who burnt out here? I don't think about anything but work. I don't care about relationships, bucket lists, or self-improvement. Everything is just a means for me to get back to work. I want off this wagecuck ride.
Wagecuck General
wagecuckery is slavery. Are you at least trying to plan to get out ASAP? Like saving, building passive incomes, etc etc
I do save, but I won't get out for decades unless I find a safe way to self-employ
Been burnt out since junior year of high school. Am a senior in college now and crawling over the finish line.
Turned 30 last week, have 10k saved in stocks, average house here goes for 500k, so I will finally retire at the biblical age of 490 and goddamn do I love kissing boss arse
shoulda been a neet ill never know the wagecuck life and its woes
feels real good
been a wagecuck for almost 10 years
>covid hits
>unpaid leave turned to full-blown firing
>move back in with parents
>bump into old classmates in town
>have to shamefully admit I'm back to living with my parents at 28
Idk but so far my experience with wagecucking was redpilled af.
>be me, semi-chad
>not even finished graduating uni
>going to random job conventions, meet a few companies
>like a company, decide to gib cv
>get a response on the next day, called to an interview 3 work days later
>literally 1st interview in life
>1 hour getting asked basic stuff, literally 1 technical thing (tech-support job but at a good tier/place/payment, you are supposed to know something before coming)
>get a call 2 days later, you are "overqualified" for the job so there wont be a next interview, we hire you
>go to work, the contract is made for bachelor, i fill it out with highschool diploma cuz i havent finished bachelor yet
>so far 3 days of work, i can take as many breaks as i want, the work is even less than what i though
>I think yea I just got in the right place, damn I am so lucky
>yesterday there was an interview (quickly growing company, the interview room is opposite ours so we can kinda see it and our direct manager is the interviewer)
>see her bringing over cables and stuff to test the interviewed (I didnt get any such test)
>later hear that the interviewed worked at a similar position in another company so there is previous experience
>realise that I got hired cuz of my looks/social skills
>mfw chadded my way into a position I am not supposed to be in
(to clarify - I am currently at something like an intern position and I am getting paid like 2x the average intern on the market, its crazy for me desu)
forgot to say
>the interviewed got totally rejected despite said previous experience
>Like saving, building passive incomes, etc etc
How the fuck is that even possible when simply existing takes all my money.
How can anyone be a wagecuck?
>2 days a week off max
>Maybe a 2 week vacation
>A full on slave for corporations 24/7
>Get paid pocket change
I'm a neet right now after over a year of wagecucking.
I never want to go back, working is hard enough for normalfags, just being around people drains my energy. Back when I was working the weekend was not enough to recover so my energy debt kept increasing.
I've been through a few massive burnouts in my life.
Feels bad man.
I'm a neet and I'm going insane
Why is everyone here so stoic all the time though?
Feels like I'm talking to pic related
I thought this was supposed to be the feels board
Being a wagecuck is shit.
I was today 3 minutes to late for work. I showed up at 08:03
Was not my fault i got stuck in Traffic....
Supervisor was mad and throw shit at me. He insulted me passiv-aggressiv.
"I dont care why you are late.
You came late last week Tuesday too.
Wake up earlier and drive earlier to workplace.......you are free to leave now"
Right now im sitting at my desk and im burning inside....
I want to be NEET again!
If your job sucks, find another, keep looking.
Not every job is awful.
My last job was a nightmare
>Had to be in at 5:30 AM sharp
>mandatory over-time, 60-80 hours a week of work
>Co-workers were all boomers pumped up on energy drinks and candy
I got fired for refusing to do over-time
My new job is actually perfect for me
>4pm-8pm shifts Monday-Friday
>Overtime is optional
>Work alone, it's a small family owned business with like 3 employees and I'm the only one who works nights
>Job is super easy. Passivization. Put deconstructed guns into a bucket, put the bucket into a pool of acid to make it rustproof, wait 30-60 minutes, rinse and repeat
>Only about 10 minutes of my shift involves actual work
>the rest of the time I'm sitting in the office vaping, eating tendies, watching videos, and shitposting
>Make enough to have my own place, I bought a good guitar and amplifier, good whiskey, good food, and I save most of my income
>Co-workers are cool even though I only see them for about 10 minutes a day
>On Fridays when I come in they buy me food and we all drink whiskey for an hour before they leave for the weekend
Perfect ex-neet job. I get to sleep in, stay up late, and don't have to burn myself out
I would not put up with shit like this as a long time neet. Possibly why it's almost impossible for me to get a job.
The contrast is too great. From having all the free time in the world, to working 9-5 and being treated like shit in the process.
I realize not everyone has the option to meet, therefore state subsidized painless suicide should be offered to every adult after college. Wageslave, neet or death, I'd always pick one of the latter two
My job became even worse due to covid. I have to wear a mask and glass in addition to trying to sell cards behind plexiglass (I work at costco). At least I get an extra 2$ an hour and I have a lot saved
Why are you lying? Stop lying.
Job asked me to port, from one language to another, a money software that talks to other money softwares, and is whose tech stack is at least 10 trademarks tall, the end result being five (5) more users being supported by the product and whose performance improvements net the company $1mil in additional annual revenue of which I will see $0.
I don't care about any of this.
I have 100k in properly diversified investments and I would give it all up for a more just world without this artificial choice between bullshit-jobs and poverty
My one saving grace is that I worked in nightmare kitchens for ten years. Got hired right out of high school and didn't know any better. Working retail seems like a day in the park compared to kitchens. Most of my coworkers really hate it but I've seen so much worse.
Wagecuck? Where do you wagecuck? We'll get you out of wage cuck.
Build a five year plan where you make money for yourself instead of for mr shekelberg, then. I quit my web dev job to contract and run an IT business. Best decision of my life and I did it with way less assets than you have. You literally only have yourself to blame.
I go to work 40 hours a week but I hate it so much. Life would be more interesting if just one woman would give me a chance. Why did I have to be born as an ugly unintelligent rat?
I survive by burning my sick days with doctors specialty doctors appointments
Burning $100 for a guaranteed day off is worth it sometimes
lol no one besides retail cares about 3 minutes
Work, Sleep, Work, Sleep, Work, Sleep...
Imagine being a pathetic neet and building a whole story to cope and try to make yourself feel superior
Hello wagecucks, I'm 18 now, should I get a job or not?
Yes, crush your dreams as early as possible so you don't feel the pain of regret.
I don't understand how this wouId work
Don't give yourself a taste of freedom or else you will hunger for it all your life, skip living as a King (NEET) because you're going to have to become a peasant (Wageslave) someday eventually.
