[@joeblow9657]

Man is too aware of the fake corporate BS that everyone has to try to pay lip service to. Like, my workplace sends out emails if someone no longer works here if they willing quit or are fired but when we laid a bunch of people off we didn't send out an email "out of respect for their privacy". Like no, you just didn't want to admit we were doing lay offs. It sucks because there are ways to dress things up in corporate jargon that don't patronize your employees. Management never gets laid off though.

[@pizzazzsnudge7800]

so true, ever since pandemic I'm fully remote office job and I'm sitting way more than when I went into the office cause all these old fashioned managers are paranoid AF that your MS teams light might turn a different color for a few mins and it means you are gone to the beach or something in their heads. I love not commuting so still prefer this but man they need to chill out on the over-monitoring, most ppl just do their job at home. Plus 8 hours was always complete BS, they have done studies on office workers and even the most productive of us all only manage to work 4 hours in the day , our brains just cant handle 8 hours of mental labor in a day so the rest we are just pretending. We could actually have half days and get just as much done which makes me so angry, what a waste of life.

[@lani5146]

@MrThatguyandrew don't stop doing it! You can find places that find more affordable if your worried about the financial side of it.

At the big corp where I work until you reach a senior manager position everyone in a department has the same generic global title no matter what they do. So people have started giving themselves creative local titles to differentiate from others in the department both for ego purposes and to make it easier for those in other departments to know who to contact. But those titles are as vague as yours is so it doesn't help much.

I avoided office jobs my whole life and then I said fvck it, let's try it and I've never been less stressed or made this type of money ever before. I have great benefits, avg salary in my country, awesome coworkers, I store stuff at my desk so I don't have to carry it around, there's free food pretty often, the managers are chill, I've increased my annual salary more than 13k within the first 16 months of working there, etc. I've had like 17 jobs in my 20's so I have experienced enough to know this is good. And no, I don't just sit all day and stare at the screen - there's tons of room to get up and walk around so I get up every 30munutes and completed a certain lap or amount of steps (while having a wireless earbud in so I can listen to stuff like podcasts or this video lol). I got a standing desk extension thingy for pretty cheap so I can also stand if I want. There are tons of horrible work places but that doesn't mean all of them have to completely suck :)

I’ve been working my first corporate job for over a year now, and it’s soooooo soul crushing realizing that it’s as good as it gets. I’ve been a factory warehouse worker doing backbreaking labor, and a restaurant server (enough said), and while those jobs are definitely far worse and I’d never go back, at least there was the hopeful idea of something better being out there. My office job might be way easier, but I’m not any happier or more fulfilled and there’s no dreaming of something better because… well, this is what all the other hard labor workers dream about already. I just feel like I’m throwing my life away to survive and there’s no easy way out

The way they've been doing things for the last 20 years is fucking stupid, outdated, and was clearly not designed so much as "stumbled in to" but there's so much on the line that no one's willing to risk doing it a different way since if they get it wrong then they could potentially lose millions of dollars, plus some of the requirements are set by the customer who wants things done a certain way because it's "tried and tested" even if it's hopelessly inefficient and wasteful. Plus they want things to take 6 months to do because that means they'll pay for six months next time, if they did it in 3 that just means they have to find more work to fill the time the latter 3 months.

Please never lose the novelty and chaotic energy and nature of your videos. It's inevitable that you'll evolve and grow. Eventually get bored of making the same thing or whatever. But please, keep the early youtube days energy. The honesty of it all. And please above all. Keep your mental health where it's at now cause I need someone who creates to match mine because I'm too lazy to do it. Thank you.

I am 8 months into my first quasi-corporate office job where I count the days going by until I can get a different job. This was actually genuinely helpful because I thought the things that are awful about my job were unique to my job, but now I see they are just because it’s a pointless, meaningless office job. I was blaming myself before. Thanks internet clown!

I made the move from the factory to the office. After 10 years on the floor, the grass is most definitely greener on this side. At least in my line of work, there are inherent and unspoken privileges that come with being in the office. Little things like not having to clock in and out, being allowed an hour off here and there for appointments and errands, and working directly with management gives me a better idea of the bigger picture. Plus my office colleagues aren’t nearly as half-witted and closed-minded as most of the factory staff, which does wonders for morale and personal development. There is some working class guilt that comes with this; I now know what factory workers always suspect: that there is one rule for some and another rule for others. But I’ll never go back. I love my job.

Office jobs really are aweful. I was a real estate appraiser for 6 years. While I did property inspections once or twice a week, the rest of my time was spent in my office and it was BORING! Also, there were no benefits. Eventually, I got a part-time gig at UPS, loading trucks in the morning before I went to the office. Then, one day a bid was posted for a full-time driver position. When I found out what drivers make at full pay scale and about the benefits, i signed it. I like being a delivery driver way more. It's more labor-intense, but I'm always moving, it just fits my personality. Plus, I make more than twice what anyone in that appraisal office was making. UPS drivers make way more than people realize. I'll just say it's well into 6-figure territory.

2:30 That's so true, I'm a Data Scientist intern in a company with no Data Science team (off to a great start) and since they have a lot of data and nothing to do with it the missions are pretty scarce, so when I do get something to do I usually finish it in a few days max. I know I don't have anything more to do. They know they don't have any more work to give me. Still, I can't *openly* not work because I'm paid to do stuff so I should be doing stuff, and I don't want the office to be 9 people working hard and a bored clown, so I write 30-page reports and extremely thorough documentation on what I'm doing, even going as far as to explain every single algorithm in more detail than if I was teaching it. At one point I thought "hey what if I programmed chess inside the windows terminal" so I did. I was done in a day and even more bored.

Even hybrid working and a decent wage isn't enough to keep me on since I'm to the point I physically can't talk to irate people.
