Antiwork

This might be a longer post, and just kind of an emotional one. I just need to get it all out. On Friday, I was terminated for multiple reasons- I was told that there's no money to keep me at my company, that my performance hasn't improved, and that I had to leave that day. I expressed how I felt like a failure, and my boss and supervisor didn't even blink. Now, after processing it all, I am starting to feel useless. I am still getting Outlook notifications for meetings, and I was at a local event yesterday and a coworker and I made eye contact. She didn't acknowledge me. I'm starting to think, what if I messed up the only chance I had? I'm 23. I know there are smarter and much more qualified candidates than me out there, but I can't help but wish I was somebody else.…

Yeah I won’t get paid as much due to their high taxes but there is a reason those countries in northern europe are listed as some of the happiest in the world.

I’m saving all the spare cash I can to apply for masters degrees in northern europe. I’ve wanted to get out of here for the last ten years. It’s never happened but I’m confident it will happen soon. Any tips to try to get out? Maybe I can marry a Scandinavian too to seal the deal…

He's gonna get a big surprise when he comes back and not a thing was done because I'm gone. Since he likes to leave me alone to take care of everything every day, I'm not gonna show one ounce of regret when I walk out and leave him to take care of all customers / repairs / phone calls / deliveries / etc. Fuck it, im out

So I’ve been working at this generic corporate job as a cashier for minimum wage for a couple of months now and overall I’ve enjoyed my coworkers and that’s pretty much it. I’m so sick of quotas we need to meet based on nothing but statistics made my people who haven’t worked a minimum wage job in decades. Maybe someone’s sick or we’re understaffed or it’s so busy we can’t get to everything we need to do, it doesn’t matter. It’s so micromanaged and heavily monitored it’s nuts. Maybe I’m just a “lazy Gen Z’er” but I’m not going to go out of my way to make sure your profits are what they “should be”. They’re trying to get a constant out of something that isn’t constant. The amount of sales and customers changes every day but they still expect this average. If we’re below this average due to factors…
