Like, yeah, money is and will be a problem, I am up to my neck in debt. But I feel like I’ve just been released from prison. I just finished my first year as a civil engineer. These fuckers didn’t like me from the beginning, abusing me with all kinds of undermining, racism, professional negligence. My supervisor, some fuck my age, a nick fuentes type, had been sabotaging me all year, funneling me with dog shit assignments. Corporate culture is a scourge on humanity, this is the devil’s work. Demonic stuff. Lovecraftian without any of the charm. These people are fucking psychotic. There’s a reason that ‘laws of power’ book is so popular, it’s a tome on how to be a sociopath and survive.

They let me go last week. This same ‘supervisor’ texts back today ‘Hey hope you’re doing alright. We have an expense check for you. I could swing by or mail it to you’

Like, ewwwwwwwww, holy fuck no. i know It’s pretty essy to find someone’s address but I’m not going to go out of my way to invite this chud over or validate his feelings. This is ridiculous, I need the money but I also don’t want him rounding up his frothingfash bros and showing up at my apartment with pitchforks. Maybe I’m going crazy but I genuinely see corpos as a different race of people that I’m definitely 100% racist against.

Says a lot about myself that I tried fitting in with the borg, I just wanted to learn engineering and earn a living. I didn’t think I’d have to grovel in front of the head capitalists at the firm and play act like 50% of the time. Am I supposed to be doing a good job, or maneuvering around some boss’ cryptic feelings? And then the hopefuls, the bootlickers. Absolute miscreants jesus christ. Trying to find the next best person to throw under the bus so they can look better? Guess what, it works folks! I tip my hat to this pathetic shit. These people are giddy to get coworkers fired, this is worthy of study via lobotomy. My career might even be over before it began. Took me like 7 years just to get to this position. All fucked because of the three chud gammons I worked with, particularly the Nick Fountain douche.

What was I even thinking being earnest about my job within the halls of capitalism, like even with all that theory. Grade A dumbass, now that is psychotic. It’s almost all my fault entirely, really.

Fire the one guy who can do his fucking job and keep the fart sniffers who act like they're still in some highschool clique.

Right. The bootlickers are all playing hunt the coworker, instead of getting the work done in a timely manner; and they get rewarded for it. What kind of sick shit is this

This is the same dynamic that undergirds an abusive family environment extended to the workplace. Any job where they tell you "we're like family here!" you should run from so fast and so hard. Some places don't lay it out so plainly. It's capitalist logic overlaid onto interpersonal relations and it's noxious. The only thing you can do is get out.

They're getting rewarded for playing hunt the coworker instead of producing results because the results aren't the point. Hunting coworkers is. Any profit generated is almost accidental. There's almost certainly some kind of backroom dealing keeping the company afloat so that the emotional kulaks can engage in their true passion. "Do what you love for work and you'll never work a day in your life" is true, and easy to achieve, if you enjoy this shit. Too many people do, at least in the burgerreich.

You got out, though. From what I know of engineering as a field it can be pretty dire especially starting out. Don't be afraid to dip out if the culture of the place you're working is that noxious. Did you ever wonder what happened to the most obnoxious people you went to high school with? They work places like this.
