I Feel like a slave

[Bombay]

How do you deal with your frutrations every day? Or are you even frustrated at all? I'm over 30 and planning to go to school to get a profession. After that I'm supposed to suck my employers d**k for the rest of my life. Any suggestions how to keep my sanity? I have been unemployed for a few years and it's been almost impossible to get a job. Unemployment made me who I am so I'm grateful for that but I feel like an outsider nowadays. I don't want sit at home anymore but wage slavery isn't very inspiring either. Do I need to change my attitude? What is your secret, what "keeps you going"?

Just have some person to care about you and live fine together. Or a great friend who can solve anything sentimentall. Or a great company with whom you pass great and forget everything. It's not utopian just find a good person or team of persons. LOL!:lol: Honestly. And about work, well you need it. Thus, try to just keep balances between licking d**ks and managing survival. And try to find a job that you don't hate. Don't expect everything to work perfectly though.

Thanks for the advice. I think it's easier for some revolutionaries and harder for some. In capitalism you have to be a pimp or a hoe, I guess I'll just have to accept the idea of being a "hoe".:lol:

You feel like a slave? For the next 13 weeks (at least) I have to work for a company that doesn't pay me.

If you think a job sucks and you're only doing it for the money, you should try to find a different one. Find one where you enjoy the work because it's interesting, or because you're doing something you believe is good.

These can be hard jobs to find. Capitalism is set up so that most work for working class people sucks. Still, look hard enough and you can find something.

What is your secret, what "keeps you going"?

alcohol, mostly.

For me its not so much wage slavery as it is societal norm slavery, I simply don't understand many of the actions taken by people, I don't even know why I seem to be doing the same things, but I do wish I'd stop.

Every day think of cutting him up and stringing his intestines around the room and from the ceiling.

Why and what company?

[Jazzratt]

Why and what company?
Because if I don't I will no longer recieve government assistance for being unemployed; of course the money I recieve (and I'll point out once again that this is welfare and not coming out of the pocket of either the employment agency or the company I work for) for what I do is nowhere near commensurate with the work I am expected to do (25 hrs a week + 5 hrs jobsearch) - it's roughly half of what someone on minimum wage would earn, in fact.

As for which company this "scheme" (Mandatory Community Task Force) is run through a variety of recuitment agencies - the two I know of are Sarina Russo and Maximus - so send your death threats and flaming bags of vomit to either one.

That was me when I worked at Subway. There was no official break time - just whenever there were no customers, really. I suppose the management assumed there would be 2x15 min breaks with no customers, plus a 30 min break in customers.

But our location was so goddamned busy I wouldn't be able to take a break. No unions either.

I couldn't cope with my last job. Pay was shit, hours were long, work was boring, management were a pair of toss pots, people got on my tits. At least I had set breaks and could go to the bog whenever I liked, but all that kept me going was watching the clock tick away... 2 hours til break, 1 hour til break, 2 hours til lunch, 1 hour til lunch, 4 hours till home... time moves for no worker.

Why oh why did they wait until the second-last day of work experience to make me work with the really funny, nice, friendly and pretty girl :crying:

When I was last in England, I mainly did temp work because at least then you don't have to pretend to like your job. As you've effectively already been sacked on the day you start, all the bullshit is out in the open. I liked that. At least I preferred it to the enforced we-all-really-love-being-here cock that seems to dominate huge numbers of work places these days.

Eugh, I feel your pain. I work for a small business owner so there's no breaks, no holidays, no perks whatsoever. Doing work for a small business owner and being paid under the table is most of the time worse than working for a big corporate place because you have even less rights and all the hours and pay and shit are all up to the owner.
