Look I didn’t get a job because I needed work, I got one because I need money.
Yeah. If I didn’t have to worry about money, I would really only be doing open source stuff.
At any given moment, an ambitious snake of a coworker will ask you if you can just do the job youre currently engaged in for them please.
Its specifically your job, and you were in the middle of it, but now you’re doing it under the direct instruction of this lazy fucker. You can say no, look petty and aggressive and he’ll get chosen for promotion over you. Or of course you can do it, and management will applaud his initiative and he’ll get chosen for promotion over you.
Brace yourselves, itll happen to you.
“Sure, just let me finish <this exact thing they were telling me to do and I was already doing>”
this is when you bring it up to your boss
“hey I was working on ___ and soandso was asking about it, are there any new requirements I’m not aware of?”
I mean, yeah, being required to do something or else you’ll be starving and homeless is pretty fucked up and worthy of a day being ruined.
Yeah i dont think a lot of people appreciate that its by coercion.
Its not fucked up at all. You’ll (the average person not someone with a disability preventing them from working) will always need to do something. Even welfare systems require you to do something or be kicked off.
plenty of countries have welfare systems that don’t require anything to use, the incredibly small amount of “parasites” that will abuse these systems are essentially a rounding error.
most people actually don’t mind working jobs, if it atleast feels like it’s their own choice to work it
as a whole the US spends more time/resources trying to punish poor people than it would cost just to allow some poor people to abuse the system
Which ones are those? Because as far as I’m aware welfare requires people to be looking for work
His day is already ruined standing there doing nothing while wearing uncomfortable clothes. Go out and live a little!
That happens sometimes
Ugh, sometimes it sucks hard when that happens, at least for a moment.
But I am too busy thinking of fixes for problems we haven’t run into yet, why do I have to deal with this problem we did run into?
That looks kind of like Philadelphia.
