Quit my 3rd occupation in a year. I quit a teaching course cos it was a cult of senility, a pub job cos it was slavery and a restaurant job cos it was slavery. Are there any places where you're not a slave? Ffs.Higher education isn't an option cos that's fucked and employment isn't wither cos that's fucked too. And this point I should start Robin Hooding this bitch.
>>34538804Every job is slavery. Why would they make a job where you're free to do what you want? That doesn't make money.
>>34538816I don't ask to be free to do what I want. I expect a job where my duties are clearly set out and the tools are there to do them. Instead, at every job I encounter directions that are unclear or mixed up and conflicting expectations. I also am expected to do more than humanly possible and failure is blamed on employees instead of being blamed on under staffing cos the cunt company is so fucking tight fisted that it wants to save £13 an hour and have everything fuck up but profitable instead of paying that tiny bit extra and everything going well.I'm fine with working hard. I even took my last job BECAUSE it was hard. But I won't accept the company's failure as my own and be expected to do the work of 10 people cos they want to save an amount of money that is personally irrelevant to them.
>>34538804> cosIt’s a good thing that you’re not teaching anyone.
>>34538893Sounds to me like you're the problem. If you keep walking and smelling shit, maybe you need to take a look at your feet, know what I mean?>Higher education isn't an option cos that's fuckedYou can teach yourself specific subjects and do gig work and be fine. In the end though, you are going to discover most ways to make money involve time for labor, whether you work for some corporation or run an Etsy store selling pillow shams from recycled fabric.
>>34539132Sounds to me like you're a moron who uses oversimplified jingoistic catchphrases to explain complicated life processes to himself cos he's too dumb to understand them.
>>34538804box office at the cinema is one of the best jobs i had (the concession stand was by far the worst). and if you can land a tech support job in one of the 5% of companies where the managers aren't complete psychopaths, then it's often a relatively easy job you can do while sitting, with advancement options if you work there long enough. even better if you manage to get night shifts at a call center where no one calls at night. but if you go that route, only ever go for call centers that offer work from home at least half the time.
>>34538804>slaveryThis word does not mean what you seem to think it means
>>34539182nta, but it's definitely you that's the problem.
>>34538804Gee, it really is tough when everyone and everything in life is fucked up except you.
self-employmentliving of the landbut in both cases the extraterrestrial spacejews want you to pay taxes (on your own planet!)
>>34538804The only way you will be "happy" is if you start your own business and be your own boss. That said, that requires a lot of work and you have no one to blame but yourself when things go wrong. I don't think you can handle this because you describe, quite frankly, easy and "low skill" jobs as slavery. You are incompetent and lazy. You think you're better than you are. You are destined to move job to job much like a whore is destined to move client to client. All the while you'll say you are the victim because oh this job is too clique-y or oh this job is too much slave labor for me.You're doomed. You will have no future and retirement. You need a complete ego death if you're to succeed.
>>34538893This is the exact reason why I'm trying to leave my current job. The faggots want me to learn some shit I was not hired for and should of learned 8 months ago while also bullshitting around with paying me more. I dont have time for this shit. I dont mind a hard job, but what I won't tolerate is a decent job BECOMING harder because the people at the top are absolute retards.
>>34538804>>34538893I hate to break it to you anon, but this is extremely common. I make 120k/year as a project manager and I also oftentimes feel like I have not been given the proper tools/training to do the job. My advice to you would be to do the job to the best of your ability, and if it's not good enough for them, let them fire you. Also if you're not comfortable doing something, vocalize your concerns, or just say no, and once again, if they have a problem with it, let them fire you. Here's the secret: 99% of the time they won't fire you. Especially at these places that are chronically understaffed, they need you more than you need them. Stand up for yourself and stop quitting would be my advice to you.

Also if you're not comfortable doing something, vocalize your concerns, or just say no, and once again, if they have a problem with it, let them fire youThis guy knows his shit, I've started adopting this mindset and nowadays I flat out tell my boss I'm not doing something because I was not properly trained. At taht point they can either give a fuck enough to use their busy time to train me right or they can enjoy paying an employee to only do half the work but enjoy all the pay and down time. Often times they know exactly what area you're failing in, but they wont ever actually solve the problem so just be honest and say "I was not trained in this, are you going to show me? If not then this task will not get done by me"
>>34538893>I encounter directions that are unclear or mixed up and conflicting expectationsThat's nearly every job that has ever existed. Most of the time you are left to determine the extent of your role and how to perform it. And you become indispensable to others by how effectively to create and fill that role.> I expect a job where my duties are clearly set out and the tools are there to do them.Jobs that provide that are the ones where you are the most expendable and modular. i.e. warehouses, factories, restaurantsPeople that have valuable skills aren't in positions where their role came with a full instruction manual and a narrow lane for them to stay in.>muh slaveryAll employment is you trading your time for n agreed upon sum of money per unit of time. Work only feels fulfilling if you have the capacity and willingness to develop yourself and your employable skills while in the position. If you have no curiosity and a miserable attitude about work, then you won't be able to adapt to new work positions readily.
>>34538816I want a job that makes me feel like I'm actually fulfilling a task that helps people. Warehouse jobs and delivery is just serving the system that forced us to use them in the first place.
>>34541456>The only way you will be "happy" is if you start your own business and be your own boss.Been there, done that for 6 years. It only works out if you are hard on yourself, know (or are willing to learn) what your limits are, and are honest with yourself about what you can and cannot accomplish on your own.I worked harder during those few years than I had ever worked before (and have ever worked since). It was fulfilling, but I also missed out on a lot of my kid's lives in the process.I can't say I regret any of it aside from that one thing, but I also am not eager to ever put myself in that situation again because it was mentally taxing, even if I was keeping up with it physically. I never want to do it again, but I learned more about myself and my own limitations in that timeframe than in any other part of my life. I had to work to the point of nearly losing the skin on my fingers to find that out though.
>>34542372Hold on, so you had your own business? What was it?
