lolno. i got promoted after 1 yr and anticipate getting promoted every year for the next 2-3 years if i work hard but i don't see any good exit options except death or maybe another economic crisis.

how's your life?

baristas are on their feet all day... and have no personal space behind that tiny ass counter. seems shitty. plus, i'd probably have to move back in with my parents which would be shameful.

? i'm employed. it comes in waves since we're in a pretty active industry and my bosses are all unnecessarily aggressive and enjoy exercising their authority ie shitting on people.

i honestly don't understand what drives them. it's not like they get paid extra to be extra dicks.

agreed but i don't give a shit about the industry. learning the finer points and nuances is excruciating. i often find myself looking around at my coworkers wondering how can they care about such mundane shit and do this day in day out without questioning their own existence. the life of a glorified bureaucrat is meaningless and monotonous.

Why don’t you just give less of a shit because you’re likely not going to get fired and then enjoy your life outside of work. Is the job even that demanding?

two weeks out of the month it is and it's more exaggerated because my boss is a go-getter. dude climbed to a spot in 5 yrs what normally takes 10-15 yrs. he's taken it upon himself to "engage" me and "challenge" me despite the fact that i do good work. he probably doesn't like seeing me coast. what an asshole.

you're missing the point here

they influence it, but there are govt bros who publish and write them, so you're connected to the lobbyists meaning there are exit options here

also legislators do not write regs, that's sort of the point

Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying

Future's coming much too slow

And you want to run but somehow you just keep on stayin'

Can't decide on which way to go

I understand about indecision

But I don't care if I get behind

People livin' in competition

All I want is to have my peace of mind

Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder

Hope it doesn't take too long

Can'tcha you see there'll come a day when it won't matter

Come a day when you'll be gone
