People like to speculate about where all the evil in the world comes from. Some say “the elites”, lizards, pedophile rings, Satan worshippers, and so on. But the answer is much simpler and easier to believe. And we have known the answer for centuries. The love of money is the root of all evil.

baffling ‘no one wants to work’ in the wild.

I was returning a rental tool from Big Box Hardware. Employee guy complains about bad traffic Employee gal 'yeah, nobody wants to work' What?! These things could be related, but it is lunch time in a fairly populous city. I think there may be some easier explanation. If everybody is working in the middle of the day, then you paradoxically wouldn't be working because there'd be no customers. At least when 'nobody wants to work' usually comes up, while still stupid, you can at least follow some logic of how they got there.

Poor people don’t have choices

I have celiac disease and was accidentally “glutened” by some takeout I ordered. This is the first glutening I've had in nearly 2 years, and every nerve in my body is on fire, my joints feel like softballs, and I'm 9th level of hell itchy. I also work 4- 12 hours shifts 6p-6a. I literally feel like I'm dying but I still have to come to this warehouse so I can pay my mortgage (which will be 4 days late this month). I technically had a choice, work or rest. But we all know there is no choice. Work or starve. The game is rigged. I just needed a place to be angry while I suffer. 7 more hours to go on this shift and 12 more tomorrow….. Good luck out there

A recruiter contacted me about a role– there’s a twist!

It's for my current job! I haven't updated my resume with this recruiting agency since I was last looking for opportunities and clearly they didn't do their research about me before reaching out. Haha. I've been at my current company for several months. To be honest, I haven't been all that happy in my role. I feel like I was a bit misled about the position and there's zero room for growth. I feel extremely undervalued and under utilized, but I was going to try to stick it out for a year and give it my best shot. The company itself doesn't really seem to have a good sense of direction about what they want. I've asked multiple times to be given basic standards and procedures from my boss, which they've failed to do. My direct boss is director level, but doesn't have any experience managing people– and it's so…

Are we getting flexed on?

I’ve never posted here, but this place has changed my way of thinking, my world view, and my motivations in life. I’ve never posted here but I just can’t help but make note of this seriously fucked up monday, of course it could just be that I am finding these things out today for myself and I am behind.. all the same.. Today I find out we have a ‘Ministry of Truth’ Roe v Wade is likely going to be overturned.. And Amazon, in spite of well publicized criminal union busting, still busted an effort to unionize.. I am seriously down, what the fucking fuck America. What the fuck is this place? I am in anguish as we’re watching our remaining rights stripped away from us as if it were a punishment daring to think; for what we’d finally begun to have a sense of, the collective notion that our…

The manufacturing company I work for likes to keep employees habitually behind schedule and when enough people don’t volunteer to work overtime, they make it mandatory. This is the letter I left for my boss to find in the AM. Tune in tomorrow to see if they cave or I join the great resignation.
