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?

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)?

I’m 28 now. I’ve been employed for 6 years now in corporate America. For the first 3 years I worked extremely hard thinking it would help me climb the ladder. Instead, I got 3% annual raises and told “good job, now can you do these additional tasks for no extra pay? Could you also work Saturday to wrap up the project before the quarter ends?” Once those questions were asked, I made multiple lateral moves since then, and increased my salary significantly. I’m at a point now where those questions are starting to be asked again, so I’m looking to move yet again. Employers think because they have a talented, capable worker, they can run him into the ground. It happens all the time. They don’t see us as human, just a machine to be exploited as much as possible. I try to do the bare minimum at work for…
