Life became a problem for me. I'm working two shifts, 6 days a week to just barely scrape by. I can't afford anything nicer, than bare minimum despite breaking my back for 3 years straight. I'm fucking 27 and every time I get up, I feel like I'm 72. Back hurts, legs hurt, arms hurt and my mental state is declining. 3 years straight. No vacation days, no nothing. It's a problem. This society is fundamentally broken, everything against normal people. What more do I have to give to finally have more, than bare minimum? Last time I wanted something nicer, I had to save up for like 10 months. Just to save up and buy myself a better phone so I don't have to change it every 2 years. My psycho

This happens to me dozens of times a week.

1. I get a cold email from some recruiter, with the job's title and job description.
2. I respond with "Thank you, could you please let me know who I would be working for and what salary I am being offered?"
3. 85% of the time they would respond with that info, but 15% of the time they still want to play the song-and-dance with "It's for a company in the banking sector"
4. I respond with "who?? and how much are they offering?"

Why is getting this basic info from a "professional" recruiter so damn hard?

Don't get me started on how weak their follow-up game is either :(

I actually worked really hard last year at my company, as a software engineer. We delivered a really big project in a very tight deadline, and in my team I developed about 70% of the project, we were a team of 5 devs, plus tech lead. I really liked the work, was feeling productive and even though I worked hard, it felt natural to do it. While my coworkers finish 1 task, I finished 3, because I was having fun and enjoying it, I even started to be proficient with a new took (nvim), was incredibly productive with it, and I really liked my boss. I was also promissed that my hard work would be rewarded. I was the most productive team at the company that year.

At the end of the year, the company

They gave the promotion to the friendly new girl. The one I trained for three months at the beginning of the year because she had no idea wtf she was doing. I've been here for over ten years. I consistently perform twice as much work as the average employee in my role. I am in the 98th percentile for work metrics, and have been for years.

I started presenting my resume to the company's competitors last week. For a cover letter I've been sending them a screenshot of my metrics compared to my coworkers. I just finished an interview for one and have another interview tomorrow for another.

I just submitted my vacation hours for his holiday season with my current

I'm so tired of hearing this mentality in support of artificial scarcity and capitalism. Just because you would be a selfish, lazy ass, that produces nothing for society if you were not forced to, does not mean that is the same for everyone else.

I want to create. I want to spend my days using my creativity and education to design efficient homes, plan urban footprints that would promote community, local business, and agriculture.

But I can't, because I have to get a job working for some corporation and deal with the bureaucracy therein. No matter my aptitude or work ethic my ability is graded by the economic status of my parents and the school
