I don't want to waste my life at work

[Darkover]

I'm really angry and frustrated at the world and the system at the moment so please guys forgive me for all the swearing.

i'm already so fucking tired of this modern bullshit capitalistic system that is being forced like a dildo upon your ass and where 99% of the world population has to go to work for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 40+ years of our lives and then maybe retire at 65 when you'll be too old and broken to even enjoy your free time, while the top 1% of millionaires/bilionnaires get to enjoy life to it's fullest just because they were lucky enough to be born in a family that was already wealthy and rich. And those same bastards are making sure to destroy our planet by extracting any ressource left on it to produce useless stuff we don't need, which in return will make this planet uninhabitable in a few years.

Every day i think to myself "c'mon humanity there's gotta be a better way to live life than this, this can't be everything there is for the average person god damn it". Why are we the only species that has to be productive and be paid to deserve basic stuff like food ?

I've been doing this boring routine in and out for about 5 years and i'm so fucking done with it already, i feel like i'm wasting my time and my youth by working whatever useless job for the sole purpose of making more money for some random company that i don't give a damn about, but i do it because this shitty society forces me to. Some people may like the "structure" a job gives to your life but i perseonnaly hate it, it is rigid, boring, and i don't like to feel trapped and chained to some place for 8 hours a day with coworkers i hate.

I often hate my parents for giving birth to me in this garbage-ass system that i now as an adult have to deal with and figure something out to get the fuck out of this rat race because i can't stand it anymore. I can't stand showing up everyday at 8AM at some place like a fucking robot and folowing orders people are giving me like a good little soldier. And then once i'm done with working i go back home with little to no energy mental and physcial energy left to do the stuff that i actually enjoy : going to the gym, playing video games, reading books, whatever you name it. That's one of the reasons i'm not bringing a child into this fucked up world.

When i look at the bigger picture this whole system is made to brainwash people to accept the 9-5 workculture from the day you're born : you go to school where you have to stay for 8 hours a day doing everything your teacher tells you to do in the exact way he wants you to, without ever showing any signs of rebellion. That way the capitalist want to create the perfect future wage slave by making sure any creativity and risk-taking behavior inside of you is instantly shut down and you settle for the "safety" of the 9-5 jobs for the rest of your life.

One of the first toughts i have when i wake up in the morning before going to work is at best "i hope climate change or something else takes care of this fucking greedy and shitty system and those corporations so i don't have to deal with it anymore" or at worse "i would rather kill myself right now than do another day of this slavery"

It saddens me when i look at my parents or older coworkers who look like zombies because they spended their whole lives working, developing even more health issues than before and they are still expected to go to work at 50+ years old... for fuck sack this system sickens me so much, people shouldn't have to be so miserable all the time just to basic necessities like housing, food and other stuff.

Agreed work is garbage
Life is garbage
This world is garbage

Work is modern day slavery. Fuck capitalism; fuck work

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I relate. Work truly is awful. There isn't a single thing I want to do within work. I don't want to ascend the corporate ladder by starting a business which is something I've seen people here recommend to do. I just don't want to work no matter what and I don't care if pro lifers call me lazy for it. I don't see me doing any type of work as a positive thing and I don't understand why people glorify work and adulthood. It has more trouble than what it's worth for me (spoilers: it's worth nothing to begin with)

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Same! I won't become a wage-slave. I'm not against working sth but it has to be sth that I like to do.

 

[WhatPowerIs]

I dont want to become a wage slave either.

I didn't think you did work. Maybe I've got that wrong. But absolutely- it sucks to have to do it. It's pretty much the main reason I want to CTB. I'm at least fortunate enough to be currently doing a creative job that I at least get more out of than other jobs but the time it takes me to do stuff means I'm likely even now working more hours than a regular 9-5 and I'm not even working at full capacity at the moment. The alternative is wage slavery- which is even worse. But yeah, I'm sick of it all.

Realistically though- what's the alternative? If we didn't pay for food and shelter, we'd have to grow, hunt and build it ourselves = work. And, if we sucked at any of those things, we'd suffer terribly. I don't think living off grid would be any easier. I can't actually even think of an alternative. Which is depressing. I wish things were fairer though. I wish everyone was actually paid what they were worth.

i've never had a real job 9- to 5 but i did make 10000£ on the internet programming bots for a game back in 2014
still, i hate the idea of enslaving myself to a job and having all the responsibility of paying bills and rent
i am not work shy as i used to love programming and i wrote 150,000 lines of code over 10 years
but i am anti capitalism

Yeah, I agree. I wish we could all get paid adequately for things we were good at and enjoyed.

 

[AllMyDreams]

I felt that way too so I quit my well paying job after 8 months. Then I became a NEET and have sat at home all day on the computer. Now I'm bored out of my mind and wish I was back at work again so I could interact with people and be challenged somehow… I guess the grass isn't always greener

I don't think the guys at the top are the bastards at all, there is simple logic behind it, look up the demand supply curve, for normal workforce there are literally millions and millions of people are available who will do a job to get secure money and even when they get that secure money they over leverage themselves to a point where they are living above break even (car on credit, life on credit) (consider leverage as borrowed funds) to either look cool or look rich or "fit in" with their peer's stupid image of success. First of all f&&k those peers if you have to do this to yourself just to be relevant to them. Secondly, to get successful you need to choose a route that is less crowded and is unique. All of those millionaires or billionaires (they are exceptionally lucky too as well) but to make sure you don't have to work again in life you don't have to get as much rich as them. Rather than looking at given equality to everybody regardless of their poor financial choices (I will come back to this again), you should focus on making sure that you can retire quickly you are responsible for yourself and yourself alone. Consider yourself earning a minimum wage now, even just by investing in S&P500 you are getting 10 percent return every year, consider you have 10,000 USD put in you will 1000 USD in return. It compounds overtime and after couple of years you will see cash piling up and going to work for you 24/7. If you become really good at managing your money, money will reward you more money, since money is more accepted in this society than you are (go back and read that again). This is the baseline survival technique, I will highly suggest looking more into this subject. All rich people work very hard initially at normal jobs but once they have that safety net they start taking calculated risks. This simple technique will not take you to showoff kind of riches but will make it sustainable to go without having to go to a shitty job. Stay the fk away from debt just don't take it. Netflix has published documentaries on money then you will understand how much life of people goes to waste because they take on debt irresponsibly. Same goes with people they buy stupid things, they do stupid things with money they waste it mercilessly and then they ask where did the money go? consider this scenario if you take the wealth of the world and divide that equally to everybody literally the amount of people that are poor will double or triple in the next years. Since many people (after getting distribution paycheck will spend so rapidly and inflate their lifestyle to a point where they can't go without taking a debt) will slide back into poverty and a few people might become millionaires using those funds but chances are low since it takes not just money to make more money but knowledge and skills go in hand in hand. The equilibrium will come back the at the same point so it is useless to think about everybody in the society.
