As for >>15601672 my take is that respect is earned, and most modern companies do nothing to earn it. People fought and died to earn the rights we have as workers. They don't teach you that in school, but the greatest battle on US soil after the Civil War was the Battle of Blair Mountain, were workers armed with rifles fought company thugs armed with machine guns and bomber aircraft for the right to working conditions fit for human beings.

If I just casually toss aside these liberties that have been paid for in blood, what am I saying to them? What am I saying to all the other workers who will have less ability to resist because I serve to normalize that behavior? What I may do willingly now will in time become imposed upon all.

For the right compensation, some rights can be momentarily waived, because the monetary cost discourages the employer from relying on it. But I think you cannot owe a sense of loyalty to a corporation. It is a business transaction, and you should not countenance being cheated. Any "bridges" built off of exploiting you deserve to be burned, and if the employer thinks that shows you're not a "team player", then it's not a team worth playing for.

Sup cranenigger, how much do you guys make (I assume you're in the longshoreman mafia)? I was considering spending money for rigging and nccco "school" like a faggot...but everyone on /pol/ said accreditation is a meme, magically get a job as a spotter and have them train/cert you.

Keep in mind I'm early 30's lazy CDL, and all the LinkedIn crane operator jobs are like midlow teens an hour in shithole rural areas. Don't really have 5 years of donothing entry bitchwork left in me for a "shot" at advancement.

I know you said they're automating ports, and steel recycling/other smaller stationary lifts pay less than regular warehouse work. Construction/mobile retards are claiming 200k a year or some dumb shit, which is a lie and makes me not want to deal with dumb boomer exaggerating cucks that can't do the work or have the connections when push comes to shove (too many in o/o cdl land as is).

I don't think so. I find the financial aspect of accounting, aka the fundamental building blocks of accounting, fascinating. I genuinely enjoy it and I'm looking to apply pattern seeking and recognition with it in the pursuit of a forensic accounting career. I'll suffer through some bs audit position or even tax position if it'll help me further my aspirations.

My dream is to work for a private firm that deals exclusively in forensic accounting, looking for dirty dealings in institutions, corporations and governments all around the world. Long term, I want to own my own little PI firm that employs the learned methods and experiences I've accumulated.

True. I just went through the whole thing mostly laughing. All those absurdities wouldn't exist if the majority of worker bees wouldn't want or accept it that way.

There are so many factors from human nature(s) to legal disincentives that it's really risky not to play the safe game and do as others do. Which I won't.

I'm actually slightly above average, but not amazing. I will try and sell myself based on future potential which I think I have demonstrated.

I am in a high turnover job (telemarketing) in a company that is busy recruiting very aggressively, clearly because the workforce is slim.

Meanwhile my team has had 5 departures in 6 months. If they want to see me stick around they ought to just bump my wage instead of recruiting again (definitely more expensive)

They may also say that I am being paid the average rate of the market to which I eill counter "then why do you expect above average results?"

"But anon, nobody gets paid that" Thats probably just because they havent asked and thats not rly my problem. Because they dont ask they are now unhappy and will silently resent the employer until they leave. Cycle repeats

I did Mike Duncan's history of Rome which was good (72 hours total). Now im doing the history of Egypt which is more academic but also very dry.

NONE of this matters.
Guarantee your supervisor doesnt know what you do on a daily basis. Good luck having a Director or VP having any clue about your worth to the company.

The ONLY thing you can do is just get your certs and OTJT and get the "next better gig". Force your current employer to counter.

The days of meritocracy are OVER

thesis on the world of wage cucking:
In most workplaces there are fundamentally two types of employees. Workers and slackers. Slackers stand around talking all day. They make friends with each other and their bosses. Slackers love working with each other because it's basically just hanging out with friends. That's why they're the ones getting promoted. We look out for people we like, so the most important thing in looking for a promotion is making friends with the boss. If you manage to make friends in high places, sooner or later you'll land somewhere high up too. All the higher ups are socialite slackers- this is important to remember.

Workers are the golden goose keeping the business running. They're perpetually overworked and forced to do the jobs of 2-3 people alone. Despite this, nobody ever recognizes them. Out of sight, out of mind. You will only ever receive negative reinforcement because the only time interaction occurs is when you fail to complete your (unreasonable) workload. This cements you as being lazy in the mind of the boss. Despite being the hardest working and most productive, you are devalued in comparison to the social slackers. Why? The boss just likes them more.

The bottom line here is that the ability to make friends is more valuable than any kind of actual skill or work you could do. Networking is king. Make friends with a rich kid because his dad will hook you up with a six figure salary sitting around doing nothing because hey what else are friends for? No experience, no diploma,0]p1+tmyt
forget engineering or computer science. That's what they pay the workers (half your salary) for. You're just there to goof off and chat with buddy so that his time on the clock passes just a little bit easier.

In the morning it felt like summer but it was already dark before 8 pm so summer is well and truly over.

I opened a savings account and put money in it and it's not leaving the account unless I have some sort of emergency. If I had learned that habit even 3 years ago, I'd be rich compared to now.

Do you think it's worth having a weekend retail job for extra money even if I have a full time job? I would save more money but my free time and dignity would be obliterated. I am really indecisive about this.

I randomly googled "discrete maths bsc" and read the curriculum for it on a university website. This stuff is like wizardry compared to the dull shit I did.

I have never been in a type-A environment. Not an elite university or workplace with high performers.

I went to a London taco bell last week and it was good and cheap. KFC is always soggy. Burger king is overpriced and McDonalds is mostly bland now.

Thanks man. You know, I've been developing, or rather rediscovering, an aversion towards the big office corporate/organizational environment.

I'm principally interested in forensic accounting, but I think I can adapt to any kind. But the thing is, I don't think I want to become a CPA. I think I just want to be a private accountant.

My literal daydream fantasy is to work at a very small PI firm consisting of no more than a few people, maybe 10 tops, a very tight knit environment, like those detective noir films from the 40's and 50's. It isn't even about pay for me. I don't care to be making exorbitant amounts of cash, just enough to sustain myself so that I don't struggle and I can go home to my garden safe and sound.

I'd like to work towards that, but we all know daydream fantasies are just that.
