What is the coziest job? I love the idea of being a fisherman. Can you imagine being a Scandinavian fisherman? Must be awesome.

I fantasize a lot about being a hard-bodied young man sailing across the world, exploring all of Europe, all the while serving my nation by being the best Fisherman in all the land. Hopefully I will reincarnate into something like that. Unfortunately I'm a lazy-eyed, glasses-wearing, wimpy little freak.

I had the chillest job till about 3 month ago. I work for a printer company, contracted by a small community had about 500 printers scattered over several schools, libraries, and other municipal buildings.

I didn't really do anything. Someone said they needed ink? I sent them ink. Someone said they have an issue with the printer? I sent an engineer. Took about 3 days to figure out nobody was keeping track of where I was, so just started working from home. Did that for about 3 years, had a night shift job on the side for a few months. Recently they changed up some stuff so I work with someone rather than solo, so it's not as good, but still better than any job I've had before. Pay is shit though, but I can't complain since they pay me full-time wages for doing about an hour of work a day.

dont you have to stand in one spot for like 6+ hours as a security guard?

It probably depends on where you work

I always wanted to be an inland waterway boatman when I was younger. I thought the biggest part of the job would be drinking tea and watching the world go by. Don’t know how it really is tho.

Computer programmer. You just sit on your ass all day solving fun puzzles while making huge amounts of money and changing the world for the better.



 

How come nobody worries about tipping McDonalds workers?

> works an exploitive job separated from the means of production (mostly real estate in this case)
> lumpenprole

mcDonalds has done a lot to propagandize culture into believing that
>fast food workers do not deserve tips
from not putting in a system in place to tip workers
to actively discouraging workers in training to not ask for tips to buying and supporting any form of media that encourages you not to tip fast food workers.

tips are fucking atrocious. just like getting paid by production

>>1023
is there a real reason to tip people like cashiers or mcdonalds workers? especially if it's one of those pooled automatically applied tips, just seems like price hikes disguised as some sort of charitable action so the consumer feels better about paying

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

he was escorted out don't worry, however i don't really know the precise circumstances about how it was handled because i was hastily leaving at the time

last week at this particular place. if you think that workers demanding a reasonable work load as to not compromise their physical health as some kind of "entitlement" you belong in a fucking mass grave
>it's not the appropriate time to worry about your health you know
>you soft ass newbies are being way too entitled, when we were starting this business that business we were working our asses off for 13 hours a day with 2 people on site only, can't you understand
>no we're not letting your coworker to help you guys right now, even despite him being in a dire financial situation. why? we're not telling you

They really do want us to be sick and injured all the time

Just give me a fucking job, anything I can get to and work. I can't do fucking nightshifts because the person I'm living with won't let me fuck this gay earth

My boss is such a power tripping bitch. I stopped to talk to somebody for maybe two minutes and she told me off for "distracting other associates". Of course, she did it in the most passive aggressive way, just to be extra cuntish.

Fuck this place, what a goddamn joke this is. I don't know if I can deal with another 3-4 decades of this, navigating a world full of authoritarian personalities with overinflated egos before I'm finally allowed to enjoy life.

Look into rice, you can get a big bag from mexican/latino stores for cheap my gram used to do that.

uygha literally just buy actual noodles in bulk packs, the right types cook in less than two minutes (less stove cost), and it encourages you to put actual nutrition in there instead of salt, salt n salty.
daily reminder that the dominant flavor in indome mee goreng is MSG. Taste raw MSG crystals and you will know I'm not joking.

>doesn't even list a country or date
terrible chart. absolutely disgusting. the fact that you reuploaded it on this site is worrying.

Therea an app called Too Good To Go, it let's you buy like a mystery bag of food from stores that's close to its expiration date. It depends on the store but at my grocery store we give some nice shit for cheap, its supposed to be $30~ worth of product for $5 last time i checked.

Here's one. I call it the Amazon Forever Warranty.
Say something you own breaks or wears down. Just buy the same item on Amazon and return your old one for a full refund. I have abused this policy for years. I think below a certain price threshold, they just don't care because I've sent returned incorrect items with no question. I must have stolen several thousand dollars worth of merchandise by now.

Condoms do sound like a goid thing to steal. I'll never use them but they're good to have. I say razors and razor blades the stores made them so hard to purchase that I wouldn't feel particularly bad just swiping them.

>condoms
Humblebrag

Also commit time theft as much as possible.

I used to work in a food packaging factory and alot of food got wasted if it was even slightly defective so id smuggle a few packs out every so often.

Where the fuck do you work? A brothel?

Best I can get is staples, pens, paper and premium tea for the important meetings.

I found the office floor with sharpies. And just after I trimmed my booty hairs too.



 

I've been thinking of buying stocks, futures, and maybe even gold with the few laborbux that I can spare. I want to build up some kind kind of wealth that I can fall back on if I'm ever unemployed for some time or if I have an emergency. Is it immoral by leftist standards to invest in the stock market or is it okay?

>Is it immoral to invest in the stock market?
no, but it is basically gambling if you don't have access to the same analytics and insider trading knowledge that the bourgeoisie have.
>it immoral by leftist standards to invest in the stock market or is it okay?
In the United States, if you deposit your money in a bank account, the bank basically gambles with it, whether you put it in a savings account or not. This is because banks not only operate on the principle of fractional reserve banking, but because of US deregulation that dissolved the legal distinction between commercial and investment banking. Basically porky already invests your money against your will whether you do or not. May as well do it for yourself since it's going to be used for that purpose anyway, and for their benefit instead of yours.

>You can invest in chinese stuff

Don't do this. You'll be taxed extra. Just invest S&P500

>>1177
Do you want to be poor?

uygha just invest in a 7 year mutual fund which invests in banks, pharma, casinos and oil shares, and if you pick a higher risk one, don't look at the stock market as it fluctuates. money minus stress.

Don't DIY this shit like a retard, unless you have insider information that you can disguise. You're going up against full-time professionals, statisticians and literal automations trained specifically for this.

There's no thread for service/fast food workers specifically and I just wanna bitch

I work at this combination fast food place, kfc & taco bell, somehow it always feels like everyone who comes here hasn't ordered fast food in like 20 years because they somehow ask for shit from other restaurants or shit we haven't had since the 90s

it's very easy to move up in the ranks if you take a risk once in a while and make friends. you wont get anywhere staying at fast food and complaining. you need to actually do the boomer thing and walk into places and apply, or ask your co-workers about openings. one of the easiest fields to advance in with no training or background if you're not afraid of actual labor imo. within 2 years i went from working at a rinky starbucks knockoff making 11.50 with shite hours to sous chef at a local brewery on salary. i make roughly 40k a year which isn't anything to write home about but it's a big improvement considering the timeframe. of course i work my ass off but that's just how it is. depending on how things go id like to get a degree and do something in academia, but if that fails i see myself becoming a fat little porker owning a nice little bar and grill unless the revolution comes first. it'll be commie themed and ill have such sort of art on the walls and ill play black flag and bebop jazz. might have a little dancefloor for djs too.

>>1457
That's great and everything but not everybody is going to have the level of dedication you have. You seem to have greater dreams than the op may have. Every bodies built differently I guess and there will always be winners and losers. Some people won't make it but maybe op will if that's what they eant.

What are the most EVIL (non-violent so; petty, cowardly..not like at least being a (((soldier))) on the frontline) 100% Legal jobs, under American Capitalism?
I think of:
>Repo Agency CEO
>Medical Debt Collector
>Pharmaceutical Lobbyist\ healthcare company negotiator (meaning; uses legal and other tactics to make CLIENTS pay more, have less benefits)
>specialised pro-landlord Lawyer\ pro-gentrification legislator
what else!!

I dunno where else to vent, my workplace is going to shit and I feel like I'm going to be jobless soon, I started interviewing but I feel so nervous that I fucked up a leetcode easy, it wasn't even DP related, I just froze in the spot. I have no idea what will next year even look like

Just had an interview at a lab, they straight-up told me they don't have a job for me and that I just try again in 4 months for the coming 6 months period. They still showed me around for an entire hour and gave me all their personal contact information. Weirdest interview experience so far.

I GOT A JOB, LET'S GOOOO

I'm tired of failing to get a good job. Even if I get a good job, what will be it, realistically? Probably $3k monthly at best where I am, in IT. In a very lucky scenario maybe $5k or $7k but that's entering "purely theoretical" territory.
Anyway, I'm tired.
How do I start dealing drugs? I heard they earn shittons of money. Where to get started?

Too debilitated by PTSD to finish my law degree at a good university. Interned in prestige media and got no contacts from it because it was essentially a 12 week paper pusher treadmill. Feel hopeless. I love writing and literature so I want to wage enough to support that. But I have generally no support network so I’m just rawdogging nepo faggotry and I am exhausted and despondent. Any suggestions on what to do.

the ptsd should be your priority mate, then finish the degree if possible. open a gofundme if you have to mooch for meds, i guess
