I despise going to work everyday! It's such a waste of time and I'd rather be doing a million other things. I hate waking up early for work, I hate getting dressed for work, I hate having pointless conversations with my coworkers and I hate doing a job that doesn't improve my life in anyway other than filling my pocket. Working sucks and everyone knows it, people just pretend that it's normal to wake up and do something everyday to make a living. It's no different than children going to school. Most kids hate school because it's forced and they don't have a choice but to go. They hate doing mundane assignments, following a pointless schedule, scarfing down food in less than 30 mins and being told what to do all day. School just prepares you for the shitty workforce you have to deal with after you graduate. Who designed…

I LOVE reading comments on here about how you put it to the employer. Told them where to stick it, or fucked them in some way, shape or form. I figured as a little morale boost we could all share our favourite experiences.

Obviously this is just one snapshot of labor at my Starbucks, but I did the math on our revenue/labor. That’s on a Thursday, not even a busy day for us. We used 90 hours of labor to rake in $8760 sales. I know there is about a 30% profit margin. So 30% of 8760 divided by 90. For every hour of my labor they make about $29 off of me. They pay me $12/hr. They pay me less than half of what my labor is worth. Not in a position to quit, but fuck.

That’s it. Stop buying useless shit. It will make a lot of these pointless companies obsolete and it’s better for the world.

I genuinely don’t think I am built for work. Not that I’m lazy, and don’t want to do anything at all. Just that I don’t think I’m cut out to work the same job, day in, day out, x number of days a week. Its soul numbing, its killing me slowly. I’m so deeply unhappy with working and switching jobs hasn’t helped. I’m in what people would consider a reasonably good position, with a role that’ll always have me employed on comfortable money, but its SO boring. What if I want to wake up one day and just study something that I’m interested in? Or spend the day at the park with a book? Or volunteer at the local shelter or soup kitchen? Or run an educational programme at the zoo? Or volunteer on a project in costa rica? I can’t do ANY of that whilst I’m trapped in a…
