My job(truck driver) started feeling like I was property of the company on a plantation. I started digging a hole under the plantation gate that no one new about. I let go of anything I didn't need to survive and saved 75% of my income for 2 yrs. Finally the day came for me to crawl through that escape hole. I started my own trucking company and I feel like a freed slave. Never again will I work on another man's plantation!!!

[@ximnl17]

hows the company coming along?

[@streetivy]

@@ximnl17 Trucking isn't doing the best right now across the board, I'm pretty sure you know that, but working for yourself your pay per hr increases dramatically because you only move when there is money to be made, otherwise you're at home. I tell people all the time, although truckers might think they're making good money, when you consider the hrs in the truck, driving or not, divided by what you're bringing home on a weekly basis, a Wal-Mart employee makes more per hr. If I'm out 3 weeks as a driver, it doesn't matter if I'm only driving 11 hrs a day, or if I take a 34 hr reset once a week, I'm still at work away from home. 9-5 employees don't punch out at 5 and then go sleep in the lobby until their shift starts the next day, they go HOME, truckers don't. So if a Trucker is bringing home $2,000.00 a week over the road, you have to divide that by (7×24=168) 168 hrs which comes out to $11.90 per hr he/she is making. The guy at the bottom of the totem pole, the Trucker, is the hardest worker and the least paid out of everyone in the industry. If you're going to do it, might as well do it for yourself or become roadkill....

'Monday's getting closer' line hits so hard rn. My last job of 3 years i was earning decent wage barely working an hour a day. going to work felt like going school to hang out with my mates, that anxious feeling of x hours till monday never occurred to me. Had to leave that job for a 20% raise so i can afford a mortgage, save up for marriage and increase my skills whilst still young. But now i have no social life and barely enough sleep, life consists of traveling to work (where they micro manage everything) and then coming home to sleep for next day. I didn't study aerospace engineering (literally rocket science) just for life to be counting the days till weekend and then dredding that it's ending. The rat race is getting to me ngl.

[@l.5832]

Sometimes you have to say "No" to a promotion. You enjoyed your previous position. Do you even have a fiancee? That future spouse should be bringing in some money. The combined funds are what would be affording your mortgage, if you even want to buy. And marriage ceremony doesn't need to be expensive. Not worth changing jobs for. I recently said "No" to a promotion. I like what I'm doing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@stu4181]

Trust me most people have the Sunday night dip even if they are top of their game in a field they enjoy. Of course there is a twinge or sadness going from being chilled doing what you want at the weekend back to work. Yes there are some jobs that are more fun but they tend to not pay too well. Unless you are extremely lucky. If you chose the stress free work life it then tends to come with stress in society when things like the boiler or car break. What helped me was realising I could go off grid live in the wilderness and not have to work a job day in day out. But I don’t want to do that, I want to live in a house with hot water and lights with a tv streaming content from the internet. If I want to live in a society like that then I have to be part of it. The plumber isn’t jumping out of bed Monday morning to fix my boiler, the mechanic isn’t looking forward to getting greasy sorting my car out when it breaks. Why am I any different? There is nothing inherently special about me and expecting everyone else to have to work like this but for some reason I’m above that is only going to lead to dissatisfaction.

To give the other side to this, I had 2 jobs I absolutely loved. Amazing ppl, fun events, learned so much, & literally excited for Monday’s… I was recognized for even small achievements and received generous bonuses and raises. I left bc I wanted more diverse experience. I didn’t want to “fall behind” at a comfortable job. My third and current job is terrible, even with higher pay and signing bonus, I have Sunday blues for the first time… I’m learning many technical skills but it’s sucking the life out of me. The ppl are OK. Moral is, there ARE great companies and you can enjoy a 9-5. It is possible but it just depends on a few factors. I didn’t know what I had until I left it.

I've experienced both side of the spectrum. Street money, you have freedom and money but dealing with comes with that. Job money, you have no life, you make money working alot of hours but you don't have to run from police and no worry about jackers. Plus Healthcare and pension. Im a bus driver. I've learned entrepreneurship is better but harder. Entrepreneurs work over 100 hours a week but it's their money. Life is hard and it was never designed to be easy but being poor and homeless or in prison is not where anyone wants to be so we gotta do what we gotta do.
