Hell yeah

i was just thinking "we haven't had the stealth normalfag work shitpost thread" thread in a few hours. thanks for posting op

>destroying my body by age 50 for 11/hr under the table? hell yeah

If I had to choose between his soul-crushing desk job and a job where I get to work outside and get fit, I would absolutely go with the latter.

>they cut the ending where the new foreman turns out to be another Lumbergh type

you would, but you wouldn't, and you wouldn't have the same opinion after a month doing it. fuck you.

World needs plenty of retards

>soul-crushing desk job and a soul-crushing desk job where I get to work in the heat and go home in pain and exhausted and broke
ftfy

I had a customer service desk job and it was indeed soul crushing. Work in a warehouse now and it’s a million times better. Make more money too

>be me
>get college education
>MA in Chemical Engineering
>"wowy zowy, lab work sucks"
>get depressed
>quit and decide to work outside
>get a job doing large scale landscaping
>good money
>long as fuck hours
>hot as fuck
>work with borderline brain dead illegal immigrants and excons

The best thing you can do in life is figure out what you don't want to do for a living.

everyone says this until after 4 months of working the outside manual labor job and you realize it's a fucking meme and both sides fucking suck in their own way
there is no escape

It's annoying that we can't have Office Space threads about the actual movie anymore.

You say that until you have to work in scorching heat or the freezing cold and rain. Yeah it can be nice to work with your hands outside, but one those hard days you'll wish you were inside an office with a hot coffee sitting in a nice chair

>Why can't people discuss this work of art without referring to the thematic elements of the artwork?

has anyone succeeded in alternating between these lives? my dream to avoid burning out is like 3 yrs tech 1 yr manual labor but i dont know how feasible that is at all

having to think all the time kinda sucks. i am too much of a retarded drug addict for this

You will never be able to advance above entry level tech jobs because a year out of that industry undoes all the experience you've gained.

The escape is having a cushy WFH job.

I complete 2 weeks 'worth' of work in about 2 days then just spend the rest of it playing vidya, watching YouTube / Porn. I can even get up and go out and do shit and in the very rare circumstance someone messages me while I'm not there I'll just tell them I was on lunch when I get back.

There's a couple of projects I've been on where I've literally had nothing to do for 3 months straight.

Simple men are easy to please. Just two girls at the same time.

guess how I know youve never had to do manual labor.

>union job
>pension
>consistent wage increases

you get fit but at the cost of totally destroying your body man

They're laughing at us again construction bros. I didn't want to be a slave... It's not fair

become the elevator guy

I did manual labor interspersed with internships and the national guard during college, I then deployed and now work at a lawfirm, I'm kinda bored now though, I think burnout is inevitable.

>go to school to be surgical tech
>start working as surgical tech
>long unpredictable hours
>constant office politics
>have to deal with Doctors some are cool but alot especially cardiologists are fucking nigs
>after 4 years making $30 dollars an hour

>take saved money
>get Class B CDL with Hazmat endorsement
>drive propane truck now
>make almost twice as much
>have pension
>in a union
Never looked back.

I think the problem is that learning a job is exciting and you can see your improvement. What's a job where you are permanently doing that?

That wax a decent living back then

I went from retail to WFH and this shit is the bee's knees. I'm supposed to switch to hybrid in a few months but I'm going to fight that.

>decide to give a trade a try because it paid an insane amount compared to everything i had done before
>i was one of the 10 white guys on the project out of hundreds, the only white apprentice

that was a weird experience but i learned a little espanol and that black guys are repulsed by meat that isnt burnt

As someone who's done both office work and manual labor, I prefer the latter because your head is free while working.

You need a degree for a cushy WFH job, I'm a degreelet so shitty jobs is all I can get

I went from manual labor to my current job where I troubleshoot medical imaging software. Im always learning new things because I have to deal with complex IT issues, clinical issues and everything in between.
Back when I was doing manual labor I used to envy guys like but I now know that I would get bored as hell just sitting around all day. I have the option to WFH but choose to go in because my coworkers are enjoyable to be around. Also my company is mid-sized and managed pretty well so I get recognized for putting in the extra work.

I could get a promotion that makes me work from home, but it's the worst part of my current job, and since a lot of it is technical and mechanical, I can't ask my mechanic right away.
