Yeah i hate it when people try and reinforce the idea that i deserve to suffer. Wtf did i do to him!
::: spoiler Remember all, that capitalism is not designed to reward hard work and talent.
Even if you assume it was implemented with good intentions in mind, capt. was designed around the assumption that employers are already being perfectly generous and fair, tirelessly seeking out the most capable talent - including people more capabke than themselves - to work with them.
I however assume it evolved naturally. Though there aee some cases where a country will try to "re-implement" or reinforce adherence to a capitalist system after it slips away.

Love your name aha! /) Good times. I'm super happy several brony radio stations are still live -- an insane amount of good music and musicians were borne from the brony/pegasister era
This is why I’ve stuck with my current job for so long. The pay is at the lower end of the salary bracket in my industry, and switching will definitely get me a significant pay bump. But I don’t want to risk getting into a lower quality work environment or having a bad boss (my current manager is awesome). My current pay is enough to live comfortably so I’m not at the point where I need to leave.
Same. I get to work on shit I like, my boss is chill, I get 30 vacation days plus overtime compensation, mostly reasonable deadlines, nobody really looks at when I come and go as long as things get done, and this side of a complete collapse I should have decent job security. Oh, and most people around me have sane opinions on politics, AI and priorities in life. I do get paid less with a MSc degree than some of my peers got with a fresh bachelor, but I wouldn't want to swap.
I'm staying for the same reason. I have jumped around a bit but I found a position that doesn't pay as well but there really isn't stress, no real fear of losing my job, etc. Still at the far low end for my position and years in the industry. But with less stress I guess it is worth it. Still can't retire, still can't afford to go on vacations. But at least I don't want to die anymore.
i stayed at my last job for a long time for similar reasons. then i got a manager that was kind of mid and i still stayed. it wasnt so bad i thought. then that manager started drinking the chatbot coolaid and offloading his cognition to it and became a bad manager very quickly. i held on for a while for my coworkers. i was the only person with the skills to fill my role which was critical to the project, but eventually i couldnt stand it for one more minute and quit without notice. leaving after sending my resignation email felt like escaping prison. i kept feeling like they were going to call me and somehow convince me to go back. when i started there i had a good manager and every day felt like a friday. its amazing how bad things can get with a bad manager.
I have a friend who went voluntarily homeless. You can't really even do that anymore. You have to go some where shitty where theres lots of blm land, and then you lose out on resources you'd get from pan handling.
Hes charismatic and doesnt do drugs. Hes more a drinker and spends a lot of time at bars getting free drinks and food. He's train jumped and went to a few communes and it sounds like constant work just to do basic shit like take a shit.
Like all this mall cop security shit gets fed into palantir and local law enforcement you can't even sleep in a parking lot in your car anymore without getting a knock on your window. Its just hard to be homeless, and he tells me he tried one of those homeless assistant camps and he said it felt like a prison or a interment camp. They had barbwire to keep them IN lol. It doesnt sound too far off from that deep space nine episode about the bell riots. I think we are in the same year the Bell riots take place too ironically.
Before or after the tiny home van conversion fad? Also what is your population density like. Are you within the first or second ring of a major city in your state?
Are you in the united States or the east coast. Do your parking lots for most shopping malls and outlets have those little blue light cameras on a little trailer? Is there third party security vehicles doing patrols through the parking lots every hour?
Sure you can probably sleep on the side of the road and stuff or off where no one can notice you. But there was a time when Walmart of other stores encourages you to stay over night for your road trips or whatever. Now its something everyone looks out for. If you are on the west coast its common for homeless people to find a beaten up trailer for 500 bucks and park it some where and its a big ordeal to get them out. So anyone staying in a car overnight is basicially the same threat.

If every job you work at is crap, then maybe…
some people will agree with a capitalist hellscape before they agree with anyone on 4chan

Anon has his ordering wrong
>start job
>hate job
>start new job
>leave old job
It's the most basic principle in job hunting - the best time to get a new job is when you still have your old job.

Come for the wage
Stay for the coworkers
Leave because of the manager
It's a very common work experience.
What proffession do you work in, if I may ask?
There are plenty of good jobs. They are just considered boring and unexciting, compared to drama-fueled workplaces.
My uncle once said, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life."
He does heroin
You could always be homeless

That is not at all true. I've slept in plenty of parking lots. Its the same as it ever was - don't go where you aren't wanted.

or just have family pay your bills for you.
Many people are these days. Many families with children. But only make line go up, no human compassion.
