I really don’t want to work. How do I game the system to live comfortably without working?

I have no hopes or prospects for the future. College is a nightmare and jobs seem impossibly difficult to find. I don't want to slave away at foodservice forever. I find living a life of crime would be more fulfilling than shitting out food for customers. What kind of tips would you guys recommend? Has anyone really figured out how to NOT work without already being rich? How can a single guy get away with just not working and living comfortably? I don't really want much, I just want a computer, a bed, and a shitbox car for transport. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated. I'd do anything except show up somewhere in nonslip shoes and come home stinking from foodservice. What can I do to not work and still exist within this system? I'd still have like, hobbies and stuff, but…

My parents keep pressuring me

I've been unemployed since October 2021, and I feel I've been living my best life since. Every day I wake up and go to sleep happy, and I don't feel lacking in anything because I live with my fiance and he gets a good enough wage for us both to be able to live comfortably off it. However my parents keep pressuring me to find a job, telling me it's unacceptable that I don't put any effort into finding anything. And it makes me feel sad, mostly for them, that they cannot accept that their daughter is happy. I'm of the mindset that if there truly is a job out there that won't make me miserable, then I will find it no matter how little I try. But for now, I'm enjoying just being a “housewife”. I do the dishes every day, I do the laundry, I hang out with…

I can’t stop crying in office.

I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do. I can't calm down and I'm supposed to look professional. I'm a very emotional person and I cry a lot. I had to come to office nowadays and I just cry ever other day and now I can't stop. I can't quit too.

Will leaving work after only 4 weeks look bad on my CV?

I have a manager that is constantly degrading me in front of other workers. I came in being appreciated for my ‘confidence serving customers’ and a few weeks later I’ve been put down as too shy for it in a review as I can’t serve with managers constantly breathing down my neck. This is one thing amongst many others, everyone’s telling me not to quit as my pay is amazing but it’s taking a toll on me mentally and physically. Should I leave?

Told what to do vs Independent thinking

Do you like to be told what to do at work? or do you prefer coming up with creative solutions from consensus and brainstorming ideas. How do you typically deal with rigid upper management?

Old boss got fired, but I can’t apply for that position

My old boss was fired and the position is open, which I’m sure I’m competitive for. I know what that position does and I can probably do it better and make my life easier than now. Unfortunately for me, I left the company recently during a leave of absence. Now, I can’t really apply either because they’ll see that I was working somewhere else during my leave .

My unpaid time off I requested a month ago got ignored

I work at a retail store and recently one of my coworkers in my department quit and the other most likely put in their two weeks recently due to the store manager constantly talking down on us, threatening to deny bonuses, and cut our hours. I put in time off requests back in mid-February for April and had to pull teeth to get them to be approved, but they were finally approved. Fast forward to the schedule for said weeks being made and I wound up being scheduled for those days I requested off well over a month ago. I talked to my department manager and she said she fixed it, but when I checked there were no results. I’m headed out of town those weekends and I physically cannot be there because I will be out of state. I’m planning on quitting without notice once I move out of…
