jestdotty611367dwe are but slaves
I am realizing nobody mentioned the economic reality of the world to me. joke's on me -
whimsical174367d@jestdotty I'm not a big fan of the slave narrative. Biggest part of my live I've laughed for actually getting paid.

whimsical174367dNeed some background. You're doing some logistics job? How come?
I do not miss working but I do miss office 😕. Really loved it. But with the current situation of society and whatnot, I don't fit in anymore and don't see a reason to work anymore. Sink in it everyone. Sounds better in Dutch. -
djsumdog686867dI'm not a slave at all! They pay us. I still make six figures, but I'm down $30k/yr from my last job (that I got laid off from). I'm doing logistic because it's the only job I could find. It's all C#/.NET.
I can go in to the office if I want. Managers are required to (I think twice a week or more?) but no one else does. I was going to go in once a week but that didn't last long. It's been so long I don't even know where my office keycard is. -
Hazarth913466d@jestdotty I often think that people tried to tell us, but young us didnt listen.
I think this, because Im trying to warn those around me and they don't seem to appreciate it.
I also vaguely remember a lot of thing I was warned about as a kid and I ignored most of it because young me felt invincible :D no problem too big to overcome... Well my mortgage thinks differently and the job market is absolutely awful (not my problem exactly, but people around me have issues)

Everything is going as planned
I'm wondering if I should start looking for new work already. I've been here six months. I really miss working on Linux, I miss my previous income, and I'm so sick of working logistics. Everything at this shop is a continual dumpster fire.
They have tuition reimbursement, so I could potentially work on my MBA. But it also requires me to stay with the company for 1 year after the completion of each semester they reimburse. Might be worthwhile if I apply for a management role.
