I know some people who tried for a good year or two and gave up because nobody will take him. Personally I also took 8+ months to get a non-scam legitimate job, and that was not even all that reputable of a position. I also graduated for like a pretty high ranking college, met a bunch of people who graduated from Berkeley and UCSD who worked at the same place for similar pay right out of graduation cuz nobody will take em.

After you try that long with next to no responses and people treating you like garbage because after like a few months after college, I guess you're basically useless according to employers, is it really that unreasonable to get discouraged? Not really. I sympathize with them, though obviously not everybody's gonna be in the same situation.

But let's just not demonize people who tried. This society sucks ass. It's just a matter of fact that the game of getting jobs is extremely exclusive as well as illogical and inefficient

What a whiny post. No wonder you can't get a job.

People in jobs are basically doing 2-3 hours of work a week and pretending to be busy for the rest of it! Just because we've been fucking BRAINWASHED by our corporate overlords that 40 hours a week must be spent in a fuckin' job.

I'd say make the work week 3 hours. 5 tops. That way we can actually live our lives and have some enjoyment in life instead of dragging our weary asses around in a half-asleep stupor.

My sister feigned two car accidents to get out of work before, one where she was unscathed but her boyfriend was put in the hospital and another one where our cousin and her baby got into an accident and both 'perished' as she put it.
she still has that job lmao

Why do you need to make an excuse that elaborate? Can't you just say you aren't feeling well?

she had work like less than an hour after that point so it was too late to feign sickness
i actually think she was on her way to work and decided she didn't wanna go

Why? I wake up at 7am for work for 8am start and decide then if I'm able to work or not.

i guess she had every intention on going but decided while she was on her way that she didn't want to. at any rate, she has a job and you don't. get gud lol

Part of me sees what you're saying but another part really can't accept the reality of a 40 hour work week and having to be a corporate slave. Like what's the point in living life if I'm just some drone like that? Especially since everything's now automated I don't really see why guys like me can't be afforded to sit around and play video games all day if we want to.

That's not a subconscious decision, that's a conscious decision. Don't blame it on the part of you that actually tries to make your life better, blame it on the guy sitting here admitting he's lazy right now.

Lazy? How the fuck am I lazy?

It's fucking ridiculous that society expects people to work 40 hours a fucking week just to make ends meet. I can see like, 3 hours maybe, being reasonable and still having enough time to live your life.

Out of curiosity, what is everyone going to do with this hypothetical extra time anyway?

About a year ago I took a new job and went from 55ish to 35ish hours a week. My weekly paycheck is only marginally smaller. I find myself simply wasting all of that extra time. I watch tv, play videogames and shit post on here a lot more often than before. I do work put slightly more often, but I honestly could ve fit that in before. I'm just using it to fill time now.

Sounds like you just answered your own question

Refer to above. Cute how you think you know so much when you don't.

What I do know is that you admitted you drive aimlessly around the block to kill time all while the company apparently is full aware of this due to their GPS monitoring.

REMercsChamp sounds like the kind of overbearing boss that constantly watches you to make sure you're doing something that benefits the company

My boss doesn't really care what we do when it's slow and we're regularly finishing our work every day

I'm against micromanaging but for some sort of performance metrics. They have to have some way to measure your performance, or else it's just a free for all. So if your target is delivering 1 box a day, and that takes you 2 hours, then that's not enough. See my previous posts on corrective measures that should be taken to alleviate this.

if you just decided to f*** around all day rather than doing your job.

I mean, we work, but instead of working until 2:30 or whatever, we work until 1:30 depending on where we are, then take the streets back to the yard. Make it back at three-ish and kick back for an hour. And if we actually finish, we have no incentive to call our supervisor for more work.

I don't know truck driving or whatever really. My only experience on it was working at a company that had drivers who were monitored via GPS. I'm not sure what goes on at whatever backwater place you work at.

We aren't. We have literally no incentive to quickly get to a job site. We have no incentive to stay at a job site. If we know a street route, we take that instead of freeways, just to eat up time.

Weird, my company has productivity metrics for performance that you wouldn't meet if you just decided to fuck around all day rather than doing your job.
