Why I hate 9-5

Absolute waste of time, dead srs

I tend to get productive later in the day and even night. Having schedueled time both wastes mine and the employer'S time.

It’s a waste of our short time on earth. 9-5 office workers are largely meaningless empty shells, unfulfilled and contribute virtually nothing to society. Some of us are intelligent, talented people, however it’s all wasted on nonsense.

I’m not depressed, I actually fkin love life and I feel thankful every single day to be breathing, but I experience depressive symptoms and constant defeatist thoughts due to being trapped in the rat race. I know being alive is such a gift. Why does it have to be spent in misery?

The only thing I liked about 9-5 was being able to get in the gym at 4 am, however the 3:30-12 shift was the sweet spot for workplace sex.

No idea. I’ve been asking myself this question since about 19 years old, as I knew immediately that wage slaving would lead to an unhappy life. My naïve fkin ass thought I’d make it out through Amazon FBA or late by crypto/day trading. I failed at both so now I’m here entering my late 20s with no light at the end of the tunnel. Overdue for homeownership. Almost time to have kids. No hope to ever afford either.

I think I’m going to fall into the same trap that everyone else does. Rot at a 9-5 for 40 years, retire with illnesses from the stress and die shortly after. Never enjoying this indescribably beautiful gift we call life.

-Self Employment where you can work your own hours. You'd have to choose the right industry though.

-Low enough living expenses where you can get by working part time. If you had a paid off house, all you'd have to worry about would be property tax, food, & utilities. Healthcare would be hard to come by i think.


WFH is about 50% escape from the Matrix. Some folks have it mastered and work overseas without telling the company.

Hey cheer bruh up maybe life will spice it up for you, and you get fired after 20 years on the job and you get to start all over again in your 40's. True story.

There is literally nothing worse than having to be somewhere at a certain time daily, and forced to stay there for a defined period of time even if you have nothing to do. That's why working for yourself is goat... you only work when you have to and you're way more productive because you don't have to hang around when you're done... you just go home, and also get paid way more

It is not about the hours, it is about the freedom of choice. Overworking for yourself is 100x higher dopamine boost than being a 9-5 wage slave.

You get the feeling of progress + the feeling of having the option to say ''**** it'' for an hour and go eat some bagels without explaining it to your supervisor like a retard.
