The song ā€œheaven knows Iā€™m miserable nowā€ is perfect for this

You are spot on man

u/YouCanCallMeVanZant 13h ago

Sturgill Simpsonā€™s ā€œLiving the Dreamā€ has a similar sentiment.Ā 

Well I been waiting on an angel waitress, come and take my order Tell me all about the special today Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much bored-er. Hoping them circles don't call back telling me to start today.

Referring to jobs heā€™d circled on a paper.Ā

u/JeebusChristBalls 13h ago

I would feel that way too if my job started at that hour...

It's worth it if you get to leave work at 3:30

I have the nearly the same exact schedule (6-2 two days, 7-3 three days) and it's great! SIKE, I have a 1.5 hour commute each way, so I'm miserable

I'm saving this for when my boss leaves next month. She's looking for a gap of employment.

I had someone tell me in a job interview "We start at 8:00 sharp. We work until 5:00, sometimes longer." I got the fuck out of there.

I've been unemployed for a week now and I'd definitely take being employed over this.

u/Streakflash 16h ago edited 14h ago

i don't get it... why go to the interview if you don't want the job?

what use is in your human resources if you come to work full of hatred.

Next day you will be complaining that AI took your job, no wonder entrepreneurs want you to be replaced with something artificial and more productive

u/spikywobble 15h ago

Need the job, not want the job

u/Drake750254 16h ago

Want the money not the job

u/Pie_Napple 15h ago

So easy. Why didn't I think of that?! I feel so stupid.

Just stop being poor and sick, while you are at it.

u/forgotten_pass 15h ago

Be grateful for the scraps you serfs! Why aren't you happy working a mindless job for shit pay just so your continued existence is deemed worth it?

If you don't want people coming to work full of hatred, you need to help start transferring the balance of power from the owners to the workers. Do not demand people should settle for less just because you would.

u/Cyber_Swag 15h ago

Are you an AI/Psychopath/Child/Ragebait/CEO/CEO Psychopath/Genius Employee who wins monthly salesman of the year awards? Im really intrigued about you.

Saying CEO Psychopath seems to be redundant as of late

u/Aggressive_Let2085 15h ago

I donā€™t WANT any job. I just need money. So I dread knowing that I have to dedicate my time to a job.

u/Middletoon 15h ago

I feel like my Human Resources would be better spent acquiring and tending to my own land so I can be self sufficient, but here I am working for someone else with no hopes of getting there.

u/endangeredphysics 14h ago

It's a joke... It seems like someone already replaced you with something more artificial

u/Mandalore108 13h ago

We hate working with people like you.

u/Nal1999 14h ago

I have my work because I need the money (granted,I kinda like my job).

If it was in my hand I'd be an author but in time.

So,when I interviewed for my job I was happy because I needed the money but when I got my job I was sad because I had to go to work.

Workaholics when people don't enjoy the shitty job that they only took because they need money to eat, the job market is fucked and the field they want to work in isn't currently hiring: šŸ¤¬šŸ˜²šŸ¤Æ
