Antiwork

I worked hard all year, and on my performance review I got good feedback. So I allowed myself to request a pay raise (it's not approved yet…I wonder if I'll get it). Anyway, what if, I didn't work super hard. What if, I worked in a regular pace and not do overtime etc… then on my performance review, they would say I was average. Could I request a pay raise for being average??? I think not. But prices go up anyway. No wonder I feel more and more stressed to do my best all the time, I'm fucking exhausted. And this to only keep the same life style I currently have. And why do politicians raise their salary just for showing up at work? I'm really fucking tired of all this crap.

I was born in 1965. Coasted through grade school and graduated with a low B average in 1983. I putzed around in the working world before enrolling in community college. I did very well, straight A average, and graduated with a two-year associates degree in 1987. I've always been generally lazy and unfocused. Still, I got a halfway decent job and stuck with it. Changed jobs once in 1999; still work there and, at 56, make good money, own a home (paid off for over a decade), and am looking forward to a comfortable retirement. I'm from the last generation who was able to coast through life like this and still wind up being successful. Guess how much college cost me? $2000. I didn't need a loan; I worked an unskilled job which paid $7.75/hr (just under $20 in today's dollars) and paid for school myself. I lived in the…

I resigned from a Job a had for 2 years at a small “family” company with a single Boss/Owner. Boss and I got on well and for most of my time there I was the only employee (One other employee at the time of resignation), I would have liked to think he was a friend that happened to also be my boss. I liked the job but was underpaid plus I wanted to switch careers so when I got another offer I decided to leave. My contract stated a 2 week notice period was required, immediately after handing notice, the boss says: “Okay, 2 weeks won't be enough time. You'll need to stay until I've found a replacement and you've trained them” I was a little shocked by this but stated that I was only required to give 2 weeks, and would be happy to train someone during that time.…

So I'm currently unemployed that wants to work to get some cash and go to a new University to be a student again. The job I applied for is something I never did before in my life [Process operator], the pro's I earn a lot for my (early 20s) young age and work shifts (which I have experience in) and get 4 days off. The cons I am not experienced with it at all.. but they would like to Interview me anyways cause In my CV I wrote that I'm willing to study but didn't mention what specifically because I am currently ''rediscovering myself'' which they saw as an opportunity to educate me into their work. So they were interested and would like to interview me and ask questions like: Are you technical? and what shows that you are? Anyone with experience in this I appreciate your tips for this…
