i feel so blessed right now

mods please delete if not allowed i’m starting merchandising for coke and making $20/hr (i can not believe i handled feces, urine, blood, dead animals, etc. for about half that)! HOWEVER— my friends dad is a dog trainer. he offers certification courses for around 5-6k…. except i’m doing an apprenticeship. and i get the certificate for free. and it’s not like a petco dog training course, he’s teaching me how to be able to open my own business when i’m done. I CAN BE MY OWN BOSS DOING WHAT I LOVE!!!! so excited to say “FUCK YOU” to big corporations in a little over a year from now and start training dogs, being my own boss with my own business

If you dont want to work, how do you live?

Im just trying to understand here, not hostile at all. But if you guys are against work how is food supposed to get grown, factories to produce, meat to be butchered etc. I get the general idea but if everyone doesnt work, we would go back to the stone ages

Been thinking about getting a part-time.

Been thinking about getting a part-time job for the sole purpose to see if I can get wrongfully terminated for the sole purpose of suing or do the bare min work to see how fast I can get fired. Thinking of retail or a mcjob

if I have to sleep 4 hours a day to be a rich id rather stay middle class

I tried to sleep 4-5 hours but I just feel terrible approaching the night and I sleep a dreamless(this is BAD thing)sleep for 10 hours next time..For years I used to think that if you slept 4 hours youll become very rich/rich people only sleep 3,4 hours..but now I realized that doesnt make sense medically. Thanks(?) to reddit I heard stories of/by offspring of rich people and their parents are things that its not polite to discuss in public. Thus I think meritocracy's reach and field of operation in the world is rather mild. Id rather stay in a comfortable middle-class residential area than live in a luxury apartment if I have to be in an office or dealing with partying trust fund babies most of my waking life. I am kinda hypnotizyng myself to not-desire luxury..sour grapes,or enlightenment? only time will tell.

Just a vent: I can’t find part-time work

I'm a student in college and I often feel very busy because of my classes. Even though I feel like I'm taking less than my peers are, I'm pretty heavily overburdened with work. Enough that I am working on it everyday but still sometimes just barely meeting deadlines. The problem is though that to move out I need to be able to have a job for at least 6 months (for rent) and to at least start to try to get some money to save towards it. But the past two times I've managed to get jobs under the guise of part-time or “weekend only”, it never was that. I'd have that in my computer as my availability but they would schedule me for five days a week, or considerable overtime (like opening to closing). I feel jaded into worrying that every job I apply to for part-time is going…

I just called out my former boss.

It was through my girlfriend's FaceBook account He truly was a lazy bastard. He sat in the office for far too long, had me sit with him for too long, and sat in the office with his supervisor just chatting too long. My girlfriend and I don't work for him anymore. He still talks shit about us. More to her family members. It really pisses us off. What really pisses me off is that he calls her a troublemaker. . He's cheating on his wife with her sister. My GF's mm believes her sister. All because of her former manager.

Gotta love the holidays

I never knew about this sub but I’d thought I’d share my story. I got my first job when I just turned 18 at a local McDonald’s. Being there was actually fun for the majority of it and liked everyone there and everyone liked me. I was working part time 20 hours a week with school. I was 5 months in and it was now December, the holidays are coming up. The managers told everyone they had to work 3 out of the 4 holidays in December. First red flag for me. I was supposed to go on holiday after Boxing Day. The holidays that where chosen for me were Christmas Eve and day and Boxing Day. Second red flag. This is what set me off. I was “forced” to work Christmas Eve and day from 10pm to 5am and wake up 4 hours later on Boxing Day and work…
