Month: May 2024

Long story short, I work for myself as a carpenter/property manager. Last year before winter a landscaper came to the property I managed and I befriended him. Early this year he reached out to me to see if I would be interested in helping him for the season. At this point I was really stressed about finding my own jobs plus some personal life things, I decided to take the job for the sake of not needing to worry about any of the “business” aspects of the work I do. The first month was pretty great to be honest, I love the work and I even got my friend a job who has always had difficulty with employers. BUT there have been random “red flags”. I always thought he was just a little out there, but as soon as my friend started he started acting weird immediately, he insinuated that…

Wish I had the balls. This was just so cathartic for me to read. I have someone I have to deal with who reminds me of this sooo much. I wish I could articulate like this & might have to plagarize later.

Fortunately I have no dependents, and enough to take care of emergencies, so all I'm looking for is enough pay to fulfill basic necessities like food, shelter, internet, electricity, etc. Is there any job that exists with 4-6 fixed working hours a day, 5 days a week, which could fulfill these needs? If it helps, I live in India.

Sometimes the fragility of life hits me while I’m working in the windowless office. Answering phones all day while I miss another beautiful day. I enjoy the momentary job security but god am I drained. My day is extremely busy yet somehow there’s always enough time to be mistreated. I don’t expect much from work. But when you’re constantly working to improve yourself and training, yet are made to feel foolish in front of your peers. That’s when the worth dwindles. My best years and I’m wasting away. I wish it was easy to do better but realistically in this economy, do I have much of a choice?

The title is the extent of it.

Hey y’all I just graduated college And low key I never wanna work a full-time job in my life. It just seems miserable. My partner feels the same way (he’s still in college). We would both rather dedicate less time to work, live off a joint income, and have more time to dedicate to our future family. I just wanna ask y’all here if it’s possible to make a sustainable living without full-time work. Does freelancer offer more free time? Contract work? Is it realistic to one day find a part-time job that would pay $30 an hour (given you have the resume to earn it)?
