I went through a real rough patch of that 2 years ago, there were tons of days that went by where I was too depressed to do any actual work aside from responding to a few emails, too depressed to spend the time blowing off work and enjoying myself, I just sat there mindlessly for hours on end.
Never had any consequences from it. The truth is that almost no one will notice or care unless you make some sort of catastrophic fuckup that draws attention to yourself, otherwise everyone is mostly just focused on themself.
I'm unemployed since 2020. I had some savings with me, but I managed to lose it all since then and had to go beg my father for money in a humiliating way. I was so fucking depressed, anxious and mad throughout the pandemic I could barely speak to people anymore. I started therapy in 2021, then later in 2022 I got meds and I've been better because of those, but I'm still at the bottom of the pit, in debt, having to sell shit to survive and working on small occasional underpaid freelance jobs. I don't buy books or clothes since 2019. I started looking for work in september last year, which was when I was able to stand on my feet a little better, but still haven't found any.
Meanwhile, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.
Before the money problem came the mental problem, I was already a mess in 2017, but had a job. Before that I was living with my gf and she had more money than me, so when we broke up I had to improvise a lot. Throughout those years I lost all of my friends, who were mostly from college, not that we had any fight, it's just that I could not get out of my house for real and they got tired of inviting me for stuff and I never showed up. So when I lost my job I didn't have anything in the horizon and then there was covid. My grandpa is really old and I had to help my parents take care of him. We also had a cat that was run over and was severely injured, the vet expenses were high and then 6 months after that the cat died.
It's just really hard to get out of the bottom if you don't have enough support around you, even if it is people complaining about their own jobs and telling you about their dreams. I didn't think of an heroing myself because it's not how I roll, but at some point I gave up on life all the same and assumed as a fact that I was destined to be miserable throughout the decades until I die, so I just slept, ate, gamed, had fits of rage and felt sorry for myself.
I finally got out of it last year, the difference is very clear to me. Now I'm walking through the ruins of my life, but at least I'm optmistic. Things change all the time, for better and worse, multiple times.
Exactly, the resume is just to get a foot in the door. Do a little research on the position and company, and don't be a sperg, and amazingly you'll stand a better chance.
It's still hard to find a good job though.
I know this is confusing but there are people who aren't lying scumbags and would not want to work with others who are either.
There's not a job I can think of for an honest moral person.

maybe you should look for a job a competent person can do first and then be honest in all of your interviews like me

Honestly, that's probably laying it on a bit thick for a place like Dunkin, but I did get the job.
Come up with a good excuse for those 8 years and just fucking lie to them. Idk what the trepidation for lying to these assholes is but it's holding you retards back
I took a year off after being made redundant and got a job within a month once I actually started trying.
Got fired for not taking the jab and haven't worked since. I'm sure if/when I feel the need to get another job I'll be able to lie my way out of the gap.
Five years ago, yeah, this would've been a factor. But with lockdowns & labor shortages, employers are stuck in a "beggars can't be choosers" situation. They don't have the luxury of crinkling their noses at you in job interviews when they are already understaffed.
Why yes, I am employed. This is my day so far:
-shitposting
-bought some parts for my car
-looked at tits
-took a nap
-made $700

It honestly is fucking horseshit. The job can be done from home and the cost of living is off the charts. Imagine thinking expecting people to spend money on fuel/public transport with them knowing they absolutely shouldn't have to.
That was the argument they put forward >all of the jobs are on PC anyway >transport in Sydney and Melbourne are completely rekt >traffic is insane thanks to the hundreds of thousands of punjab and asian third worlders post covid - takes 45 minutes to get from suburb to suburb >cost of living is at insane levels and people have to pay bribes to get daycare positions >company won't even say why they need to come back

i actually fucked up hard. One of the two jobs i was working at was a big 4, so they do like background checks every year. There is this social security report in my country that has info on every employer you had, so I stupidly submitted it without photoshopping it (cause they have a way to get it themselves anyways so there was nothing I could do) so they called the other company where I was working to ask for references cause they thought it was a previous employer.
Naturally the other company I guess told them I was working there too, so I got shitcanned from both at the same time.
Sad part is, there was a way to block the report but I had no idea, i coulda blocked it before the background check, then just shopped out 2nd job info and coulda kept both. Havent found a new job yet and running out of monies.
since always since theyre both IT jobs so they pulled the non compete clauses shit. Sad thing is I coulda fought them both legally speaking and at least tried getting a decent severance but im a pussy, bent over and got peanuts.
dang that sucks.
big 4 like accounting?
I take it that kind of work is in high demand anyway

i've had to enter 2 meetings at the same time on both jobs a few times, its not hard if you're not the main person leading the meeting, or if there's lots of other ppl, but if you're the main guy or its you vs other ppl yeah its impossible. Still since I was a leader on both i had power to reschedule conflicting hours.
Thats fucked up. They should have just doubled your workload. I would have just buried you with work until you quit. None of my staff could work 2 jobs simultaneously.
fucked up part is I was great at both jobs (I was like a Lead/manager) so never had a single bad performance complaint and they still fucked me over.

My IT guy started working for a CPA. He traded IT services for incorporation services and it just grew from there. You don’t need a cpa to make your own s corp. it is really easy. Then just get quickbooks and start generating invoices. Start going door to door to different local businesses and hand them a business card.

well the problem is I do QA/software testing which is very specific so I would need to find companies doing software development and i would have zero cred at the beginning
Yeah. I’ve had the same job for the last four years, the longest I’ve held onto a job so far. I didn’t go to college after high school and am nearing thirty (28 in July). I’ve decided to finally go to college this year and pursue a degree since I want to change careers (or start one, honestly) and someday emigrate to another country.
not anymore, fired from my programming job from being absolutely terrible and slow. Honestly it's funny I made it that far because I can't even do the finding the pivot index problem on leet code. Or any code problem at all. I'm just all around shit at problem solving.
some idiots hired an automation qa and i got it on my team, had to fire the asshole cause he couldnt do a single fucking script, he was so shit, also fired some other bitch that had 2 jobs too but she skipped demo sessions and didnt deliver her shit, unless you're god tier programmer i dont think having 2 jobs is feasible for developers, unless theyre like super good cause i do know they can get shit done fast.
>But suppose now that the computer scientists do not succeed in developing artificial intelligence, so that human work remains necessary. Even so, machines will take care of more and more of the simpler tasks so that there will be an increasing surplus of human workers at the lower levels of ability. (We see this happening already. There are many people who find it difficult or impossible to get work, because for intellectual or psychological reasons they cannot acquire the level of training necessary to make themselves useful in the present system.) On those who are employed, ever-increasing demands will be placed: They will need more and more training, more and more ability, and will have to be ever more reliable, conforming and docile, because they will be more and more like cells of a giant organism. Their tasks will be increasingly specialized, so that their work will be, in a sense, out of touch with the real world, being concentrated on one tiny slice of reality. The system will have to use any means that it can, whether psychological or biological, to engineer people to be docile, to have the abilities that the system requires and to “sublimate” their drive for power into some specialized task. But the statement that the people of such a society will have to be docile may require qualification. The society may find competitiveness useful, provided that ways are found of directing competitiveness into channels that serve the needs of the system. We can imagine a future society in which there is endless competition for positions of prestige and power. But no more than a very few people will ever reach the top, where the only real power is (see end of paragraph 163). Very repellent is a society in which a person can satisfy his need for power only by pushing large numbers of other people out of the way and depriving them of THEIR opportunity for power.
It's fun. I'm getting paid for solving puzzles. The only downside is I can't choose the puzzles. Once I get really good at solving puzzles I will start demanding more money and decrease my hours so I can solve other puzzles and touch myself a lot in my free time.

You have that, meanwhile I dropped out of programming at 19, didn't know what else to do for a few years. Graduated marketing and advertising at 25, and I'm 26 with no job experience.
This is fucked.
Advertising is just a roundabout way to get into media. You start off writing commercial scripts then you can branch off into actual cinema. You can be a copywriter for slogans or social media posts but use your writing in a portfolio to become a writer. Graphic design is also desired everywhere. and companies fight tooth and nail to figure out how the internet works.
There are truly creative people who I met that could go into filmmaking. And there were total idiots that are exactly the types who would suggest putting a chud on a bus light commercial, actually there were so many girls who were obsessed with drag racing and trannies and wanted to keep putting them into projects and focus everything on pronouns. In one class we were given an open discussion and I mentioned how pronouns have only been popularized since 2018 and it's clearly a trend that will die down soon since it's not relevant to anyone outside a minority within America. Nobody cares about they/then pronouns in Asia, Africa or Europe, it's only a north American urban trend. Nobody actually cared, guys were thanking me I spoke up but girls are obsessed with fitting in and it's so easy to trick them into believing something is the future. I believe women are behind everything wrong in advertising, they go to far with messaging and can't focus on creative delivery.
Sorry for the tangent. I spent 3 years of my life learning about advertising and I truly did care. But I can't find a fucking internship anywhere and it's fucking me up to fall behind.

Gentle reminder that people that think the Big Lebowski sucks are without exception people that are themselves morons. These types of morons love shit-talking cinematic achievments like the Big Lebowski because they can ceaselessly criticize it to each other a quarter of a century later to gain social credit (because they can't generate kino like the Coens).

Anyone got any ideas for what I could do? And no I am not hot either so no onlyfans.
The thing about it is I love my field. Absolutely love the work that I do, feel good about my skill level, feel like I'm making a positive difference in the world. Hate my fucking cunty coworkers. Absolutely fucking hate them and hate myself most of all because I've let myself become beholden to their moodiness and their toxicity
I'd also like to add that I'm in a field where there's legitimate reverse sexism at play. People are less likely to ask me to help, always the first people to insist I'm mansplaining or acting aggressively or whatever the fucking meme buzzword of the day is and its exhausting. Its tiring. I'm sick of being caught in the tangle of these people lives and I wish for an end to the suffering and pain
Not since I got fired from my RV service tech job last year due to my alcoholism. I then pissed through my savings and am now living with my dad.
I've applied to over 100 jobs since moving in with him. But due to my laundry list of mental issues (hence the alcoholism) I rarely respond when they call or e-mail me.

Most people hate their IT guys so it isn’t hard to outbid them.
well the problem is I do QA/software testing which is very specific so I would need to find companies doing software development and i would have zero cred at the beginning
Why would an employer fire you for that
Because they're petty fucking cocksuckers.
Yeah. I’ve had the same job for the last four years, the longest I’ve held onto a job so far. I didn’t go to college after high school and am nearing thirty (28 in July). I’ve decided to finally go to college this year and pursue a degree since I want to change careers (or start one, honestly) and someday emigrate to another country.
Best time to learn Russian. Lot's of prime breeding age single women now.
Nope
I'm a janitor.
Which kind: Cinemaphile or mop and bucket?
Do you have any nuggets of janitorial wisdom for us?
not anymore, fired from my programming job from being absolutely terrible and slow. Honestly it's funny I made it that far because I can't even do the finding the pivot index problem on leet code. Or any code problem at all. I'm just all around shit at problem solving.
some idiots hired an automation qa and i got it on my team, had to fire the asshole cause he couldnt do a single fucking script, he was so shit, also fired some other bitch that had 2 jobs too but she skipped demo sessions and didnt deliver her shit, unless you're god tier programmer i dont think having 2 jobs is feasible for developers, unless theyre like super good cause i do know they can get shit done fast.
>But suppose now that the computer scientists do not succeed in developing artificial intelligence, so that human work remains necessary. Even so, machines will take care of more and more of the simpler tasks so that there will be an increasing surplus of human workers at the lower levels of ability. (We see this happening already. There are many people who find it difficult or impossible to get work, because for intellectual or psychological reasons they cannot acquire the level of training necessary to make themselves useful in the present system.) On those who are employed, ever-increasing demands will be placed: They will need more and more training, more and more ability, and will have to be ever more reliable, conforming and docile, because they will be more and more like cells of a giant organism. Their tasks will be increasingly specialized, so that their work will be, in a sense, out of touch with the real world, being concentrated on one tiny slice of reality. The system will have to use any means that it can, whether psychological or biological, to engineer people to be docile, to have the abilities that the system requires and to “sublimate” their drive for power into some specialized task. But the statement that the people of such a society will have to be docile may require qualification. The society may find competitiveness useful, provided that ways are found of directing competitiveness into channels that serve the needs of the system. We can imagine a future society in which there is endless competition for positions of prestige and power. But no more than a very few people will ever reach the top, where the only real power is (see end of paragraph 163). Very repellent is a society in which a person can satisfy his need for power only by pushing large numbers of other people out of the way and depriving them of THEIR opportunity for power.
What movies will give me the same feeling this movie gave me? I loved this movie, it was funny and had fun characters
I watched all of their other movies, and they were terrible. I am convinced someone else wrote this movie and they just took credit for it.
I legitimately don't understand how people can do a 9-5 and not immediately blow their brains out
I'd rather just die than be some corpo drone
It's fun. I'm getting paid for solving puzzles. The only downside is I can't choose the puzzles. Once I get really good at solving puzzles I will start demanding more money and decrease my hours so I can solve other puzzles and touch myself a lot in my free time.
sir I am 29 years old and have never had a job, I receive an allowance from the government on account of me being on the autistic spectrum
Would you call it your "tugboat"?
yes
it's not really enough to live on your own but it's comfy if you live with family or housemates
how much?
How did he live so comfortably without a job?
>studying Machine Learning at Purdue
I will be the richest man on Cinemaphile when I graduate.
>He fell for the ML pill
You will make Tableau dashboards for ad hoc requests that get used once and then never again. You will also receive strong suggestions on what the data should show
Yeah, well, you know, thats just, like, your opinion, man.

Bro did someone quote lebowski and fuck your gf? Calm down
Barely. My dad wont let me live in his nice house rent free if I'm not working, so I have a low effort wagie job and never work more than 16 hours a week
Your dad is trying to encourage you to take responsibility for yourself and become independent.
A Chinaman from Korea took my programming job.
i'm just a temporarily embarassed billionaire.
you are either one "Lebowski Fest" away from shooting up a crowd and an heroing or this is one of the best copypastas I've seen in a while.
>work from home
>in meetings nearly all day doing nothing
>mfw I blocked off my entire Wednesday with a no meeting block "because it's the only time I have to actually get stuff done! Hahaha!"
>mfw every Wednesday I do my twoish hours of work for the week and drink the whole time while playing starcraft.

What's your job?
"Engineering Program Management Level 2"
>Requires a degree in engineering with an average of 70%
>Requires 2 years of experience
You have that, meanwhile I dropped out of programming at 19, didn't know what else to do for a few years. Graduated marketing and advertising at 25, and I'm 26 with no job experience.
This is fucked.
>Graduated marketing
That's your punishment for choosing to actively make the world a worse place for everyone.
Advertising is just a roundabout way to get into media. You start off writing commercial scripts then you can branch off into actual cinema. You can be a copywriter for slogans or social media posts but use your writing in a portfolio to become a writer. Graphic design is also desired everywhere. and companies fight tooth and nail to figure out how the internet works.
There are truly creative people who I met that could go into filmmaking. And there were total idiots that are exactly the types who would suggest putting a chud on a bus light commercial, actually there were so many girls who were obsessed with drag racing and trannies and wanted to keep putting them into projects and focus everything on pronouns. In one class we were given an open discussion and I mentioned how pronouns have only been popularized since 2018 and it's clearly a trend that will die down soon since it's not relevant to anyone outside a minority within America. Nobody cares about they/then pronouns in Asia, Africa or Europe, it's only a north American urban trend. Nobody actually cared, guys were thanking me I spoke up but girls are obsessed with fitting in and it's so easy to trick them into believing something is the future. I believe women are behind everything wrong in advertising, they go to far with messaging and can't focus on creative delivery.
Sorry for the tangent. I spent 3 years of my life learning about advertising and I truly did care. But I can't find a fucking internship anywhere and it's fucking me up to fall behind.
Honestly, I don't care about trannies or gays or that one toss web comic thing. I just think that a lot of evil is done by people promoting shitty products with technically-not-lies at the detriment of quality. But really, I was just making a shitty joke.
You were still being honest. Most people despise advertising and advertisers. I understand, I avoid ads myself, I think most advertisers are retarded and most ads are shit. I hear your joke all the time, it's alright.
ah another lewbowskicritic post.
Gentle reminder that people that think the Big Lebowski sucks are without exception people that are themselves morons. These types of morons love shit-talking cinematic achievments like the Big Lebowski because they can ceaselessly criticize it to each other a quarter of a century later to gain social credit (because they can't generate kino like the Coens).
If you dislike this movie you are a moron gay and should kys, simple as
i unironically like have a job after being a neet for so many years
i have been saving money and making myself look better
I'm too inept.
>fired from stacking shelves for being too slow
>fired from data entry because I am anxious and double checked everything so often it slowed me down
>too stupid for STEM
>too untalented for creative jobs
>too socially retarded for "people skill" jobs
>lacking street smarts and drive to "hustle"
>too clumsy for manual labor
Anyone got any ideas for what I could do? And no I am not hot either so no onlyfans.
anyone?
I applied to three jobs and didn't get them. Not going to apply for any more because they didn't see how valuable I would be for their business
All you IDIOTS are so fucking out of your element, its unbelievable.
Hehe
The thing about it is I love my field. Absolutely love the work that I do, feel good about my skill level, feel like I'm making a positive difference in the world. Hate my fucking cunty coworkers. Absolutely fucking hate them and hate myself most of all because I've let myself become beholden to their moodiness and their toxicity
I'd also like to add that I'm in a field where there's legitimate reverse sexism at play. People are less likely to ask me to help, always the first people to insist I'm mansplaining or acting aggressively or whatever the fucking meme buzzword of the day is and its exhausting. Its tiring. I'm sick of being caught in the tangle of these people lives and I wish for an end to the suffering and pain
Yeah. I'm going to work in about 15 minutes. Right after I pound another couple'a beers.
you’re like a child wandering into the middle of a movie theater
Well, fuck it.
Oh yeah?
*chuckles*
Well, that’s just, like…
…you’re opinion, man.
Not since I got fired from my RV service tech job last year due to my alcoholism. I then pissed through my savings and am now living with my dad.
I've applied to over 100 jobs since moving in with him. But due to my laundry list of mental issues (hence the alcoholism) I rarely respond when they call or e-mail me.
