I've realized I can not function in a 9-5 job

How old are you now

43

How do people say the bold with a straight face and in the same breath as hating the day to day aspects of the job? Unless you're age 53, you're really mapping out long term misery for a pension?

you got to weigh benefits i just started so I could put in 25 years and retire at 55 with a pension. 55 is still young and I will have a check of roughly my yearly income for the rest of my life. It ain’t bad if you think about it, I do minimal work, hardly stress out, good job security, lots of vacation and make decent money.

or I could go out and consult work my own hours from 20-80 hour weeks. Make a little more money but buy the time I hit 50 I’ll won’t have that same energy. And a 401k doesn’t hold a candle to a union state pension. When I retire, with my pension and SS I’ll be making more money retired at the age of 55 then I would if I’m working, plus if I invest extra money in a 401k I’ll be pissing money and considering 55 is still young I’ll be able to pick up another job till I’m maybe 70.

I don’t think 25 years of misery is a good trade off for a pension, but as long as you have a plan.

Black people invented a lot of things we use today already

until nikkaz tool up and take respect on the battlefield, nothing will change

these people do not respect black people because black people will not go to war against them

this why I quit having discussions about certain shyt in our community


This is all it takes but no one wants to die or shed blood

they let nikkas in the house and they got to comfortable to ever give that spot up and anyone that opposes it will be givin up by said c00n.

something gotta happen to where we collectively say fukk that.u crossed the line for good.

 

[Smokin Rider]

I used to think this way, then you grow up. It is what it is. I got a 60k salary job and typically work 5 hrs a day m-f

 

[Seoul Gleou]

I felt the same till I got a remote job.

Work don't even feel like work no more I barely can believe I actually get paid to do this shyt

this a game changer.

skipping traffic and bullshyt from cacs in the lunch room is like the greatest thing ever brehs

you wake up, walk 2 feet to your computer and do your shyt. take breaks to game, take breaks to eat. still get work done.

WFH is the GOAT

 

[SunZoo]

know shyt changes from generation to generation but it seems like the millenials and gen z want to skip steps and go straight to comfort without putting in the hardwork.

Thank god there will be a generation of kids who don't buy into this line of thinking, they're slowely building up the audacity to actually change the world, for real.

Did he say he was miserable breh? Or are you projecting how you would feel in his situation?

Granted, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but for a lot of people office life is a breeze. I work 7 hours per day, sip tea, listen to music and relax while I work. Come home with energy and never feeling burnt out.

I see these types of statements from older cats a lot.

So with the job you had at the time 11 years ago, would you be able to buy the house you have today?

Put it this way. 11 years ago the median price for a home was 220k+. Today the median price for home is 410k+.

In a world where wages really haven't gone up all that much, at a certain point just "hardwork" ain't gonna cut it by itself. Something else gotta give or you'll continue to see a lot of mfs saying duck it

They are, they have to, we're heading off a cliff. Our generation is/was supposed to gear them up to actually do it, but a lot of us play the game, no harm in it but take a step back and think.

How quickly could the world change for the better if people were actually serving humanity instead of serving burgers...or some other pointless job. How many inventors are preoccupied with work or escapism with the little time they do get away from the grind..the way we're living right now can't continue and they know it.

These lil nikkas outchea doing the math like...how many days would the economy survive if enough of us just decided to stop working???

It's either continue down this path or make a radical shift.

Higher wages

Better working conditions

WFH being the norm

More job protections like unions

4 day workweeks

8 weeks vacation per year
I'm down for it

 

[EndDomination]

I hope to one day convince the black population to take inventing things seriously. U will not be free if u keep having to pursue an education, long after u graduated school - which is the case with modern occupations, especially tech.

I think you deeply misunderstand the purpose of education, or how "inventing things" works.

Generation X don't face the same problems as Gen Y or Z in social mobility and owning property. They still think that it is 1998 where a random college grad can get an office job with ease.

Yes he did. It was his initial reply.
