Shitty Job Time

nah I'm scandinavian

doesn't matter anyway, just wondering why you think being in the army is going to be any less shit than what you do now.
considering joining the marines, but don't want to fuck my life up or waste time with something that's just as shit as any job back home

its 6 years since I was in the army last time, I wanted to get home, travel and party with sloots whenever I felt like it. I've done all that now, so I became Veeky Forums and workout almost every day now. I don't fit in with the people here in my normie job and end up hating on mundane shit every day.

At least in the army I can hate on something worth hating together with bros in the same situation. Here in civillian life, I just stick out like an ugly wound whenever I try to connect with people. Don't get me wrong, I'm good at socializing and making people like me, I just don't have anything in common with these people and it drains my energy pretending to give a shit about the national soccer league and whatever tv series is on, because thats the only thing going on in these peoples lives. That and having children. And when I do try to talk about things I care about they just shrug it off and can't relate for shit.

If I'm going to hate my life anyway, I might as well hate while some times getting to shoot cool guns, walk around in camouflage in the woods and such things. I've been missing army life for the past 4 years and I believe if I don't go back now I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life.

What's the army like in terms of fitness? Would you have enough time to stay Veeky Forums or would it damage your gains?

Also I've managed to wrangle in a gf, would there be any point trying to stay with her if I join or is it too big of a cuckery risk?

Know those feels. I'd give anything to be able to join the military now and have that sense of purpose and structure. I've compromised and joined the police but I still wish I could enlist as an officer in the army.

It all depends on what kind of service you're going for. Being fit and base personell in for instance the air force would make it pretty easy to keep the gains. In the army it could be pretty hard to keep them due to long marches with heavy equipment for days without proper sleep and nutrition. But it varies within the army as well. In general, I'd say it's pretty hard as a common soldier, but as you advance in rank you will get more information about what will happen when, so you can adapt your training schedule, and also more free time to do what you want.
Do you consider the marines, as in being on a boat? Could be hard to find time for lifting and also getting the right nutrition you need.

Yupp, that's my biggest fear in life these days. I'm approaching the age limit now and can only pray they will accept my application for try outs. If I get to the try outs I'm sure I'll get in, I already meet the top grade requirements in all physical tests thanks to Veeky Forums.

Yeah mate, I'm just vainly hoping that I can get laser eye surgery and maybe get in. I know from experience that if I would take a typical job in the real world I'll most likely end up miserable for the rest of my life.

I'm still 18 and I can make gains at retarded speeds anyway, so I was hoping I could continue during my initial years and then as I progressed I would end up having more free time to maintain anyway.
Never really thought about the fact that I'd be away from a gym a lot of the time if I joined the marines.

Do you think this would be the ideal age to go into the forces?

It really depends on what role you're in and whether you're deployed or not. There were a few instances that greatly changed how often I could train:

>State-side = Ruck marches, fuck all time to lift, fuck all energy to lift
>Deployed in theater = Operations / Patrols fairly frequently, good amount of time to lift but inconsistent
>SoF unit = Drill and lift all day every day until needed for operations

Naturally your mileage may vary, but from personal experience it was difficult to get good gains while being a low ranking NCO grunt, especially on shitty ass MREs in theater.

I think everyone that has to work is somewhat miserable, the best you can do/hope for is to have something in the job you can enjoy. It's a long time since I realized my hopes in life does not revolve around any kinds of work I want to do, but I love guns and warfare. I hate doing mundane repetitive shit like drilling magazine changes, but it's the prize one has to pay to use such dangerous tools in our society. That or move to america I guess, and I also love speaking my language. I've also realized as I mentioned I don't fit in with these normies I work with now, it would be great to be in an environment with people that care about the same things I'm interested in. The comradery in the army is a pretty great thing.

Yeah the availability and time for a gym could be difficult specially on a ship, but you can do a lot with body weight and maybe some heavy equipment, though be careful. It's not a bad age, the military loves taking in young recruits but it's difficult to say without knowing you.

I was 19 when I joined and I don't think I was mentally ready for it, although I had been wanting to go since I was about 10 years old. But shit went sour, I was a egotistical kid and had some trouble with my superiors. I've matured a lot these last years and I believe I will be better suited for service this time around. I was also a hungry skellington and had trouble with the cold weather up north, weighing 60kg at 184cm. My body got pretty beat up and I wasn't as mentally strong as I wish and thought I was.

yeah, the camaraderie and the opportunity for new experiences was what attracts me to the military. Can't stand the idea of doing the same mundane shit for the rest of my life.

Agree with this big time

>I wasn't as mentally strong as I wish and thought I was
Is there any way to tell whether or not you're going to be able to deal with it before hand, or is it just one of them where you have to suck it up and hope for the best?

The Dunning-Krueger effect everyone

like lifting heavy things up and putting them down? :^)
Seems like repetitive mundane shit is a normal part of life any way, at least for me. Right now I'm teaching the same fucking idiots the same thing over and over and they just never learn. Like how to set monitors to extend instead of duplicate. Or chose which source their sound is gonna come from. They just can't learn it seems. Yet they get paid 10x more than me and rarely do anything.

It's difficult to say because a large part is dealing with uncertainty as well, not knowing when something is going to end, what will happen next, and still suck it up and keep going no matter how tired or hungry you are. I reached my breaking point at about day 4 without food or sleep out in the snow. When half the troop was picked up in a bus and we were told they got a lift back to base for the endex, and we were the lucky ones who got to walk. That's when I truly started hating everything and I started talking shit. Not a proud moment for me looking back. ofc it turned out the other guys were just taken some kilometers back and had to walk even further, but we didn't know that.

But being in great physical condition will make it easier to stay mentally motivated. I've also started meditating because I've heard it will increase mental powers when you get the hang of it.

Dumb frogposter.

Correct frogposter

frogposter nonetheless

This is now a rare pepe/groyper/apu thread

You made me look that up.
Brutal. But quite funny.
Thanks. :-D

Never gonna give you up

Thanks for the chat user, I think I'm going to man-mode it and go for it. Worst case scenario I end up leaving, maybe go back in a few years once I'm more mature.

Good luck in your tryouts lad

Not the user you're replying to but good luck mate.

Never gonna let you down

thank you friend, best of luck to you as well. Maybe we'll fight for the same side in some glorious war one day, one can only hope

take my favourite pepe

What do you do exactly?

Never gonna run around and hurt you

I'm the boss of our helpdesk technicians and have a ton of other assignments as well, like security incidents, mobility systems and the list goes on. Only good part is doing interviews and selecting workers for my team, its pretty fun to be on the other side of the interview

...

i deliver pizza's and i fantasize about getting an it job. I got an AS in comp sci but that didn't teach me shit. I'm taking the A+ in a few weeks and desperately want to get out to fast food.

This or read some info online about it.

working an interview is a skill you need to learn to succeed, how to articulate yourself properly and not come across as an autist.

Ever wonder how some seemingly incompetent people end up in roles above you?

It's a mixture of nepotism/interviewing well/or they're dumbing themselves down for you.

try to get a service desk job at a big firm. thats usually a good starting point and if you do a good job you will likely be promoted after a year or two. Having a Veeky Forums body should also help during interviews and such. At least in my country, getting useable tech people is pretty hard because the best guys mostly already have good jobs or have started their own companies.

But beware, political correctness, feminism and SJWs are ruining offices all over the world. You have to be so fucking carefull to not get a rape allegation headed your way these days. And you will have to develop your STFU-skill and tolerate a lot of bullshit and incompetent people. and it's only going to get worse

I literally shovel horse shit at a ranch for 9 hours a day.

Working for a living sucks balls. Become an investor... it's a lot less hard than you might think it is. And doesn't really require much money.

Worse feeling is when you repeatedly are failing the online assessment tests which supposedly test your emotional intelligence or whatever. I've missed out on a few jobs so far because of these.

I feel the same way. Im terrible at interviews though, at least the ones for my career. I tend to get interviewed by obese middle aged roasties and i dont think i can hide my disgust of them.

You got discord lad? Seem like a cool guy and I've got a lot of questions still desu

Any specifics you have in mind, i.e. where to start?

I'm in between jobs. My last job was alright. Hours sucked but I was making $22/hr.

I had a similar job as you OP and I hated it too. On top of being a receptionist, I had to monitor people doing UAs. I fucking hated it, and I was working FT with no bennie's for $10/hr in Colorado. Job was a fucking joke and was stressful as fuck since it would get busy with clients and I would be juggling doing 2-3 things at a time.

I was their best receptionist but I'm never coming back even though I could get a job right now with them. I actually had a nightmare last night that I was working there.

I guess my suggestion is to find a better job.

sure, dare to post your nick or # or whatever? not really pro on discord, only use it for pubg with my mates

Well, that book is square one. You need to first get through what I call the "knowledge acquisition phase"... you can't rush this part. Treat it as a part time job and read a solid 4 hours of books on finance/investing EVERY SINGLE DAY. You'll know when you feel ready to begin. You'll learn that poor people have been fooled into thinking you need a lot of money to begin, there's always ways to use other people's money.

Just figure that after taxes you're probably making $30k a year (or less) and live fine. Investing is always taxed much less... so your first goal is to set up a financial structure that allows you to get enough cashflow to quit your job. Eventually you'll see what you're better at, stocks, bonds, forex, cryptocurrencies, real estate, owning a business, etc... and concentrate on working with your strengths.

what other books do you suggest once finished with that first one?

I want to repeat that working is an enormous waste of time and the American system (probably the whole world as well, honestly) is built on fooling the poor to keep working their jobs to keep the rich, rich. And the poor with just enough money to work and consume.

Also, protip. Get rid of your TV and video games. One thing that all self-made rich people do, all of them, is they don't consume media. Occasionally, down the line you can watch the occasional show or sportsball games or whatever.

Thank you very much.

Kiyosaki and Trump's books are all written for beginners and aren't "dry investing books". Obviously read the classics, the Intelligent Investor, The Richest Man in Babylon, 48 Laws of Power, Make Friends and Influence People.

Read biographies of the super rich, especially the Zyzz of the investing world, Warren Buffet that went from a lower middle class white guy from Kansas to what is essentially the richest man in the world without fucking people over or doing illegal deals.

That's a great start.

Find a different job user.

Already half way there, i guess - after a workout just decided that i was going nowhere and uninstalled every game (rip ~300h in csgo and 4k hours)

Imagine you had dedicated those 4k hours into grinding your investment portfolio. You'd be a millionaire or close to it already.

Shitty job?

I'm the punching bag of my dept. I don't get recognized for my efforts and in fact other dept just use me as their tool and they keep punching me in a way.

Supervisor of that dept, keeps telling me to so something for them and than claims it needs to be done by me. Turns out someone from his team has done this a month ago and I just find out today and get the information handed down to me. I wish they told me they were doing this or at least inform me but that's the way they work. Everyone hates our dept and I'm the fool they can laugh at.

I'm not quitting though. I'll work and save up money before leaving this company. It just sucks I can't use them as references...

Tldr. Our department at work is disliked by many other depts and there is always some war going on between these depts. They smoke to your face, than spit on your back and don't give you any info...

This could sound mighty dumb, but I dont want to dwell on the "what if's" of the past - I have to look forward to the future and better myself every day, so that one day I may be proud and contempt of what i've become and accomplished.

tried adding you now

Sensible rather than dumb.

>man is a receptionist, secretary, or nurse and gets endlessly made fun of
>woman is a soldier, construction worker, or business leader and is seen as progressive and strong

My brother from the other side of the world

>How do you deal with a shit job

Go get a better one. Get some skills. Work on your interviewing and spend a few hours every other day or so looking and applying for jobs.

Bump

>tfw working 6-15 / 15-23:30 every other week
>constantly exhausted and body can't keep up with sleep schedule

Anyone else want to become a carpenter? Think it would be so satisfying building things with my hands out of wood.

Sucks for you i just got an IT job where i am the entire IT/data department and it’s comfy as fuck, get to dress nice, have my own office, sit in on important meetings with management of company etc. I work with mostly women so whenever i fix something they all think I’m a genius it helps that the only few other males at our office are old, chubby, or soy boys. All i can say is find a better company where your co workers don’t treat you shitty.

First of all the damage is done and I'm on the cutting block. I'm going to be losing my job in a few weeks and I have the info confirmed as of today.

Basically coworker gave me a project that is doomed to fail. I followed up with management team and the Indo they have and gave me is different than what is being used. They either lied or my coworker knows if I have the wrong info then this big project will fail.since my info isn't correct.. I have a meeting about this tomorrow. I feel like he will cancel the meeting again and say call me next week.... meanwhile tommorow is the day client wanted to have things starting up. Lol. This is how they're going to get rid of.me??

Anyway. I have maintenance window set for tonight and I'll be working over 10hrs today. They're still going to get rid of.me though.

Hahahha. I hope I make it out of this alright senpai

I only have money for 2 months and after that how many places will take a network engineer who was let go from.last job?

I'm scared lads. I'm scared right now

Atleast you weren't a male nurse

>mfw be 21 year old virgin male nurse student
>go to practice in a old people home
>instructor tells me to put a catheter on this 80 year old retarded woman in a wheelchair
>she literally shit herself just when I walk in
>clean up the poop first

>see a white blob hanging out, Wtf?
>instructor tells me that's her uterus and I need to push it back in
>I shove the uterus back inside and continue trying to stick the tube in her
>she starts getting wet and making turkey sounds
>mfw Im a virgin
>mfw my first sexual experience was giving this retarded old woman pleasure
>mfw had to get therapy for a brief period
>never looked at porn the same way since then

DO NOT ACCEPT BLAME. DO NOT ADMIT FAULT. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING. Just tell you're next employers that they screwed you over for whatever reason.

I'm still working on another project right now and finishing up more work for tonight. Frankly, regarding this other project which was handed to me all of the sudden is doomed to fail. They already didn't get a lot of work done and now it is on me
However, the info that they provided me is incorrect. I believe information was redacted/edited out of the files since the project management gave me documents which everyone else has been using and it just so happens that I was given paperwork that was not correct? WTF

Also, this fuck already said he has time for a meeting tommorow and now he is saying he might not make it

lol, they're going to get rid of me like this? Really, lol

The next few months will be hard for sure, good luck being a network engineer with no real references since you were let go from previous company

Lol, I still have work tonight that I'm finishing up right now!!!

I'm a server/ bar back at this upscale Asian restaurant. I've been here for about 7 years and I want out. The tips aren't as great as they used to be and I'm just getting tired of my shitty coworkers and all the rich cunts that come in. I really don't know what I want to do with my life. I'm 25 and I just feel like my time is running out. I went to college but kept dropping out. I was going for an accounting degree, but I was doing so badly that I had to drop out completely.

The depression is getting stronger and I just feel like I will stuck here forever. I want to get a nice office job but I just don't know how. I've tried getting a desk job at a hospital, but I was turned down.

I'm not sure what I want to do with my life. I don't want to go into trade and I don't want to go into the military. I just want to find a nice job where I'm with people who will help me grow and do well in life.

I'm not giving up this easy with this company

>Going to ask my boss for a sit down and performance review in a week
>Might as well get it out of the way and see what he has to say...

Bureaucracy can be fun. Just change your perspective. The media is always negative. Look at it in a positive light.

Is nursing really that bad? I just finished my prereqs and am applying to programs now

iktf. Idk what else to do but keep applying. I'm not even autistic in interviews. I know how to dress and groom myself. I'm just going to assume that I come off as being smarter than everyone.

To be fair, no one is even impressed by a woman being a receptionist.

Moving to a new city in a new state, with no contacts, money, or car, and being a recent community college withdrawee. Going to see what trades don't have waiting lists for apprenticeships and go from there (hopefully electricians though). Gonna be tight having to sell my mouth for food and sleep in the homeless shelter if I don't find any job.

Fresh start here we come.

So you've gone to school? How many credits do you have? Look up the requirements to get an associate's in accounting at a community college. You may be able to transfer some credits, and any remaining courses will be much more affordable than a university. Look, an associates in anything isn't going to get you any 6 digit paycheck, but it will make you more competitive for that desk job.

Also don't dismiss the possibility of military service if you're American. It's a lot more than infantry. You can find some "office"/desk job and gain some valuable experience for the private sector. But this all depends on what field you get into. I mean, you can even get your studies in while in service.

You also have a sadcunt mentality which is likely fucking up your chances of ever improving. You're only 25, but you're acting like you're 75 and with death at the corner. Stop being a faggot

>25
>Can present myself very well and come off as intelligent and professional
>Work in IT
>Somehow memed myself off of the helpdesk and landed a network consultant position 6 months after college
>Job seemed difficult and important but I didn't really do anything very complicated
>Recently accepted a senior network engineer position at a Fortune 500 company for a dickload of money for my age
>Terrified that I'll be exposed as the fraud I am

I'm fucking scared Veeky Forums.

Kek....

>>Terrified that I'll be exposed as the fraud I am
At least 90% of people in white collar jobs have no clue what they're doing. Don't sweat it too much.

How do I get ready to go into the real adult world? I'm 27 and I've worked in shitty labor/retail jobs all my life. I went to community college and got a cert in business. I know its not much but it was a huge achievement for me. I landed a job as a administrator for a bank. Not sure how I got the job because I thought I came across pretty aspie during the interview.

My problem is that I'm scared that I will somehow fuck up at my job and end up going back to retail life. I've never had a "real" job so I'm kinda freaking out. I'm still young and I'll be working with people who are 35+ years old. I don't want to come across as a man child. Since I've only worked with high school kids/college drop outs, I've kinda stayed in the whole edgy teenage mindset. I know I can get the job done, I just want to make sure I make a good impression on my new coworkers and not come across as a spastic loser.
How the fuck do you guys act around your coworkers?

I'm 30 in a dept of people who are in their 40-50s and they have been in the field for years meanwhile I'm on my 5th year in this field and no shit they will be more qualified than me. I may be let go for this reason, they just hired people who have 20+ years experience and there really is no reason to keep me around

Be respectful. Talk to the people that have been there a long time. Have good posture/dress well.

If you make a decision that people under you disagree with, especially if your decision effects shit they know about, listen to their criticism/advice on why what you're doing is stupid.

shits not hard. just be a conscientious human being and not a jackass

Don't be afraid to ask for help, but don't come off as needy and useless. If a coworker has to show you something more than once you fucked up.

you're basically doing all the shit doctors don't want/don't need to do, not sure what you're expecting

>went from a lower middle class white guy
not discredit his achievements, but his dad was a congressman. so no, not "lower-middle class"

Here's my shitty job story Veeky Forums, I hope someone reads it and can relate

My goal throughout college was to get into physical therapy school (now it's fit related lol). I was a great student in high school, but I got to college and my lack of social skills/social life really kinda tanked my grades when I studied exercise science (ended with like a 3.2 GPA). I graduated in 2014 and I applied twice but didn't get in (acerage GPA where is like a 3.5-3.6). I then applied for physical therapy assistant school at a community college (but it pays pretty fuckin decent) and got fucking waitlisted there too even with a bachelors. To be fair, anything physical therapy related is pretty competitive right now.

For three years since graduating, I have worked as a "physical therapy aide" at a nursing home (but it's a really big and nice one). I do a lot of menial shit like fixing wheelchairs, doing IT work for the therapy department, administrative assistant/receptionist type stuff. I get paid pretty little, $18/hr. Most of the time it's boring as fuck and I don't do much. Even with that pay, I commute an hour each way paying a $10 subway fare per day to get here.

The worst part is when someone young near my age starts working here. There's a girl now who is already a therapist who is literally a month younger than me, and there are/have been a few who are like less than a year older than me. And also it sucks seeing how most of our staff only stay here like 9-12 months before leaving, and also how much the staff complain despite getting paid pretty fucking decently (like $35-50 an hour).

I referee youth soccer in the fall and occasionally in the Spring/Summer as a side thing

Does that count as a shitty job?

newsflash, you're autistic

So whats your plain now?
