Office jobs are literally LDAR

There is nothing worse than being in an office building. It is one of the most painful and boring jobs on this planet

You have to weigh how much you like money vs how much you like enjoying life.

Better than manual labor or slaving away outside in the hot sun all day every day.

Well yeah you could argue that fast food and jobs where you work outside might be worst. But those jobs don't suck your soul and identity from you.

For most people it's SDAB

[Sit down and bulk]

Obviously not the most exciting type of work in the world but you could A LOT worse. Brb: tradie in terrible weather, customer service dealing with scum, dangerous jobs etc. If you don't have a rare skill or great idea it's the safe option.

it's the monotony brother. There is nothing more boring and life sucking than being in an office all day.

My office job causes unemployment for guys in the trade. My wife is a mental health counselor. Weird how many of her clients are guys who found themselves unemployed as a result of what I do.

it's not all day, you can do stuff after work to make your life less boring.

grass is always greener. construction jobs/ factory jobs are much worse.

imagine coming home from work and not even having the energy to do anything else.

It doesn't when you make more than $100k in flyover country. I find my purpose in other things.

It's not cause of the office job, it's because you're FA and have no friends or hobbies. You lack balance in your life and blame work for monotony. The truth is you're the boring one.

There is no way i'd be able to do a traditional office job. I honestly give all the props in the world to those who do that. That job is a form of torture.

Yes, and a lot of people are socially retarded such as yourself.

I'm not exempt from this myself. I've been busy with work (beyond my 9 to 5) in the past year or so. That's when I noticed that I find work less enjoyable. So I took steps to mitigate it, by taking some time off, going out to socialize and picked back up on making some music as a hobby. That improve my mood almost immediately.

If you don't have enough other chit going on in life you're doing it wrong. Whether it's a plague of modern society or whatever else, you're here now. Instead of going into denial mode like you do in almost every thread fist yourself and address your shortcomings.

I've seen you make the same threads more than almost any other miscer, save maybe the carsalesman; yet you ignore all the good advice that comes your way. Why is that?

It's almost like work time is for working and social time is for socializing.

Yeah, Thats the only real way it would be fun. A small group of passionate younger people who are fueled to succeed. 99% of the time, Youre working with miserable ass 40-50 year olds mailing it in everyday doing the bare minimum and that chit just wears you the **** out after awhile.

I'm not in the 9 to 5 yet, but my main concern is being too mentally and physically fatigued after work to really do anything. I get mentally drained easily and when that happens, I don't care about reading, I don't care about socializing, I lose my motivation, and I really only have the energy for low effort things, which tends to be internet and watching some shows. I suspect it's the same way for most people which is why most people tend to be depressed, or fat, or unproductive.

I already feel drained after an 8 hour shift at a job where there's zero stress or difficulty and all I have to worry about is boredom. And that's with doing everything people tell you to do when you complain you're tired... Clean eating, drinking a fukton of veggies via my juicer everyday, regular lifting and cardio, taking every vitamin or adaptogen I can think of, daily meditation to lower stress, getting lots of sleep. The only way I've been able to counter this is by abusing stims that I can't talk about on Misc.

I'd probably prefer it if I had 3 or 4 days with really long shifts and then extra days off because free time after a shift barely counts for me because my brain becomes such a potato.

I had a social life when I started there.

The people there are different than other ppl. A lot seem frustrated, quiet and depressed. You're not doing anything so it's hard to get any social momentum. There are a lot of moody ppl there and it seems like every conversation is surface based. Not to mention you're confined and have to be professional and there are a lot of women around.

The office is like being stuck in your parents house all weekend or something. You just want to escape from the boredom and annoying bickering but you can't.

Yep, it's mostly miserable older people where I work. I wish I worked with younger people but I'm paranoid now. I'm going to try to apply other places where there are people my age soon

ouch why you spitting so much hard truth on us?

i agree with this. if you hate your job you should at least have an active social life. if you dont have either then suicide will probably be on your mind.
