What are some books about how utterly soul crushing the process of job hunting in the 21st century is?

Waaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaah! The Fake """Problems""" of the Spoiled Western Proletariat by Erwin White

Are there any books about how utterly soul crushing the process of actually working a wagecuck job and spending 40+ hours doing mindnumbing shit you hate in the 21th century is?

dude, it's the worst, i know i will never get a real job again...like a full time one with free healthcare and a 401k and all that ridiculous shit they shower babyboomers with...i have to start a business, it's my only chance at a decent life

no one forced u to major in stem, no u have to spend the rest of ur life living like a visa holder in ur own country, oh well, memes have consequences bro

Literally my diary desu

This
Why can't I find a job, lads?

>tfw fell for the college meme

I don't want to seem condescending about this, but job hunting has never been an issue for me.

Are you talking about career jobs, or like applying to remedial jobs like stock-boy or customer service, because these are not difficult jobs to land if you aren't a robot/frog imo

Yes.
Nickel and Dimed

This has nothing to do with one's major. Capitalism is in it's death throes.
And it's killing us.

>because these are not difficult jobs to land if you aren't a robot/frog imo

haha... yeah...

and democrats still trying to figure out why they lost to a guy who promised jobs

"we offered tranny bathrooms and here comes this populist assholes offering people jobs, how could we ever have lost to him!? every i know at goldman sachs has 20 jobs offers on their desk at anytime, why didn't madame presidente win? can't figure it out!"

well if you are, I understand the struggle you're facing (empathize).

>capitalism is in it's death throes
never heard that before

this is an extremely gay thread and you should all kys

>kys
go swallow a spark plug twitterfag

I feel you. Seems like nowadays people are either killing it or just making due. I feel as if I won't ever have a fulfilling job. I'm just shooting for economic stability, but it seems hopeless and scary.

They don't much mind actually. Sure they wanted their horse to win, but they're shoring us their walls to keep the socialist and even mild progressives from infiltrating so they can take another shot at sending another corporatist at us. The GOP and oligarchy will tame butterball head in no time.
>Teriffs AND tax cuts?
>This chimp serious?
Countdown to the next financial meltdown.

>tfw people even 200 years in the future in a post scarcity world will look upon us with pity

why the fuck did i have to be born now. just working my entire fucking life for nothing

And it's killing us.

Heard about this one yet?

yup. but wait, trickle down economics has worked a ton of times in the past!!! just look at the bush tax cuts

no i haven't heard it yet
people haven't been saying it for literally as long as capitalism has been around

bro opec just made a deal to push oil prices back up in time for trump to hit office, they gonna try to fail him but causing a recession by jacking oil prices sky high over the next year, might not work since america has much natural gas from fracking now for cheap energy, but they trying

I make $13/hr fulltime. Most days I do work for about 2 hours and I'm twiddling thumbs for the rest of the day, putting up Outlook or some other program if someone walks into my office. And for some reason my boss really likes me. I don't get it. I agree it's soul crushing, but at the same time it's kinda comfy. Maybe I'm just used to working fulltime.

what job?

I'm talking about "Climate change" "global warming" and the "greenhouse effect"

Peak oil has been reached already. The hunt for gas and these fucking pipelines are just going to wreck our drinking water.

Capitalism is gonna outlive the ecosystem.

Admin assistant. It's a shit job, but I think it really helped with my speaking skills. I used to be really awkward talking to other people, but I've improved a lot since I have to answer the phones.

Post Office.

But it takes place in the 70s hut captures the disdain and monotony of a job one dislikes

You're lucky. I wish I had an office job like that. Even with a STEM degree all I can get is fast food (no luck with retail for some reason).

same with me, i only work part time, but i make as much as a full time minimum wager, so it's cool i guess, i don't get healthcare tho, so i have to obamacare, meh, still i live in a shitty rooming house, i dream of having my own study apt, owning property is like a silicon valley daydream...the people who write op-ed columns like to ax "why aren't millenials buying homes?" go outside of manhattan someday, assholes

I kinda do feel lucky, but it just sucks when you feel duped into the whole college thing only to get into a shitty job market. Admittedly, I wasn't the best at school, but I still feel as if I was given a shitty hand. And now that the holidays are here, I gotta do the whole "talk" bullshit with relatives. Ya know, jobs, dreams, politics, and other crap.

I think I've made something good with my job. I use my free time for writing shitty poetry on post-its as well as doing some reading on my ipod. Still, making $13/hr in California fucking sucks.

I also dream about having my own place, somewhere near a city or something. But California rent is fucking absurd. I don't know how people do it over here, and yet they're still in support of more taxes. A buddy of mine just voted for another cigarette tax, and he's a fucking smoker who isn't making that much either. Having a house is completely out of the question if I can't even find a decently priced apartment.

i feel betrayed by college too, not just the idea that if u do a bachelors u will get at least a lower middle class job (nothing sucks worse than seeing some union grass mower working for the city who owns a home and bmw despite barely graduating high shool) but most of all i feel betrayed by the marxists...i was a big lefty in school, and all my friends were too...so i thought hey cool we're all marxists we don't care about money, just working for the masses, let's just take fun classes and spend time reading marxists classics and studying revolution and just kind of half ass our reqs, etc. meanwhile my friend was actually working hard as fuck getting straight As and doing internships and crap, but pretending he didn't give a shit about anything, then we graduate and he's like "peace out holmes, i'm off to ivy law school to study corporate law, have fun being a poor piece of shit, you proletarian dummy, it was all an act to cover my privilege, haha sucka!" well, ok, he didn't say the last part, but he might as well have...fuck that mother fucker man, i can never get into a good grad school or get a corporate job now, but as long as America's free there's still one way to show him up...

>tfw most of these seem familiar

>lots of gibberish and running in circles
what is the dialectic method

Try becoming a cop. The process just to get into the academy is an adventure down the well of paranoia and bureaucracy. Calls at least once a week asking the same questions over, and over, and over. Then there is the polygraph, 5 hours of mental torture where you are forbid from moving even a fucking muscle and are forced to just stare at a wall blankly. If you call and ask for an update on ANYTHING your case officer goes apeshit asking you what you're so nervous about and whether you should get another (yes, another) home visit.

Its a big city force (one of the countries 3 largest), very high profile and had some pretty bad press recently so they are apparently even crazier than usual.

Son, why do you want to become a cop?

Don't blame the guy that wisened up about your life problems

Literally never been easier to get a free education if you make a dedication to it

i already have an education you fucking moron, but my friend was only during lefty undergrad degree to set up his law career and get "sjw" points on his law school admissions, meanwhile, me being a naive proletarian actually believes marxism was a thing to live by, lol, i was stupid, i admit it, but still that guy lived a lie for four years, fuck him

Just appeals to me I dont know.

how can people not get a job? i have an 8th grade formal education and make 100k a year. i can only assume laziness.

did your free education come with a reading comprehension class? cuz i said i said i had a bachelors...but moreover, that guy was only pretending to be a leftist to have sjw activities to stuff his law school application with, me being a naive proletarian actually believed in marxism at the time, sure i was stupid, i admit that much, but that dude lived a lie for four years, fuck him

Capitalism is a spook. Man dies, it dies. It dies, man lives.

Man. I'm the only one rec-ing titles.

lets all form a criminalist gang and rob banks while wearing stirner masks

>phones
In college I interned at a small (10ish employee) nonprofit and I sometimes had to call community members that were affiliated with us.

Now, I used to be very phone-phobic, even when I was in private.

My desk was right in the middle of the office and sometimes when I'd make the calls it would be silent. I'd have to dial up strangers, and introduce myself and the nonprofit and ask then questions about stuff. I would try to rehearse the calls but as soon as i opened my mouth, out came spaghetti. Everyone in the office could hear every awkward word. It was fucking torture.

my diary

Are policemen Veeky Forums?

are you the perth user

Rich people are gonna live on in computer simulations bro.

but bruh, it barely costs anything to run an extra person in a computer simulation so what makes u think some bill gates foundation type mother fucker won't just upload everyone in africa into a humanity database so they can live on forever as his servants and him as pharoah(if u a deplorable white male tho, forget it, u ain't gettin' uploaded to shit, check yo privilege)

If it's a computer simulation they could just make their imaginary capitalism that doesn't require worker suffering. Anyway my point was just that it's completely possible for (simulated) capitalism to outlive the human race.

uh but if u believe marx then all surplus value comes from labor, so u better have someone in there to suffer during production...and since u seem kinda mad about capitalism i'm going to assume u marxy

>all surplus value comes from labor

i should add human labor, robot labor falls under industrial capital, unless you think steam engines and looms of marx's day were "suffering" somehow

He could be Bakuniny, like me.

>If it's a computer simulation they could just make their imaginary capitalism that doesn't require worker suffering.
>suffering

why are you assuming extracting surplus value requires suffering? the capitalist jap who bought Veeky Forums is extracting surplus value from all of us by exploiting the content we create for free, but we aren't "suffering" because of it, don't be a lazy thinker

if anything capitalism works better with freetrade than without so bukunin was his anti-statist cohort a buncha dummies

What are some books about how utterly soul crushing the 21st century is?

>He's super sure capitalism would work as long as a state didn't exist to keep wealth form accumulating into limited hands

For the millionth time. We aren't going to fall for it.

I posted them already... Oh you mean fiction, cuz you can't take reality?
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

The simulated worker's don't have to feel suffering.
I'm not. I'm saying really existing capitalism has always required suffering.

>wanting a job

You're obviously a teenager.

Imagine waking up on a chilly, grey misty day. Walking through the cold under an overcast sky feeling cozy as if you're on your way to Hogwarts.

Imagine then walking into a small room which is incredibly warm with no window open and people coughing and sneezing all around you. Imagine having to sit in a chair with two computer screens in front of you and a bare fluorescent hanging right over your desk and constantly in your line of sight. Imagine having to sit at the desk right next to the aisle where people are constantly walking past you and in front of the printer where people stand looking at your screen over your shoulder. Imagine doing this for nine hours every day, until your skin is red and your cheeks covered with burst capillaries, your face is burning, your eyes are sagging and shedding their layer of protective fat so that bags form beneath them, and your will to live is drained with each new excel spreadsheet you are sent to wade through like some sort of severely depressed robot.

The modern workplace is hellish. Life is hellish. And you are a fool.

You are only mostly correct.

They actually believe wealth wouldn't accumulate in limit hands? That's why the government has to enforce rules against monopolies. If the government couldn't enforce rights, they wouldn't magically be enforced by the people, or fucking privatized police forces. It actually makes no sense. What fucking fantasy world do they live in?

Sounds great. I really want a stirner mask now

>The simulated worker's don't have to feel suffering.

a simulated worker is a robot, a robot is industrial capital not labor, if u wanna be a marxlord why don't u try to learn it first

>but we aren't "suffering" because of it

He actually believes this

Going Postal - Mark Ames

It's about workplace suicide/homicide.

Fracking gives you mostly natural gas, the most common type of well in the USA and Russia. Natural Gas is what is used in heating and electricity, it killed coal btw, and can also be used to make petrochemicals (plastics and others).

OPEC countries produce mostly crude oil which is used for transportation. This means that no matter how much our well count is increased we will never cut our dependence on OPEC countries while we rely on oil as fuel.

Lobbyists and politicians mix up natural gas and crude oil, sometimes deliberately, to push an agenda. When they say they will increase drilling in the USA it means natural gas. The offshore sites were where we get most of our domestic crude but those deposits are being tapped at maximum coverage so there can be no increase there.

I'd say Post Office.....but that's more about what it's like to be an alcoholic looking for work.

>no education beyond high school
>does shit-all to present himself well
>finds a job within days of looking
>quits when he has enough money to go on a bender
>taken back by the same company again and again whenever he feels like it
You couldn't have picked a worse example desu

>You couldn't have picked a worse example desu

Yeah....I'm on Veeky Forums.

I get what you're saying, but imagine the alternative: not having a job. It sucks being poor, and it sucks having to deal with yourself for so long. At least with a job you have something else to focus on, whether it be boring or not.

>it sucks being poor

More like 'it sucks to be a slave to materialist desires'
Wagecucks think they have to work hard to get what they want, when the healthier option is to not want anything so you don't have to work hard

>it sucks having to deal with yourself for so long

Now this sounds like some serious 'I assume of others what I know of myself'

Critique of Economic Reason

major cities are shit

as someone with strong rural sympathies, they really aren't.

its a different kind of living, and people who spend their entire life in the city tend to be insufferable, but its a nice change of pace.

access to cultural events and objects, better universities and libraries, etc. they serve their purpose.

Law of large numbers.

Making them not shit is a job unto itself.
