Does anyone here actually really like their work? PS please could you give a clue as to what you do if so

Only way to fire IT guys. You couldn’t be leaving a team of disgruntled nerds loose on your network for a month.

We live in the world we live in and the mode of production is what it is… But humans are made up of the materials from dead stars that died billions of years ago… We then evolved from single cell organisms to our current guise over billions of more years of evolution - to what, work behind a desk and embrace corporate jargon and inclusivity

I’m sure our hunter gatherer ancestors would absolutely celebrate the idea of opening a fridge to get food, most likely our early farmer ancestors also… But modern man is hemmed in every where. Controlled by laws, corporates, banks and now technology reading every little thing we do before we do it. We’re basically slaves with the illusion of freedom. And that’s a fact.

That’s what I’m most despondent about really.
We’re a cunt hair away from the matrix and i want to double drop the red pill.

Indeed, it sounds like hell to me to be honest, alone in a hotel room in a strange city

But in my innocence I’m assuming that if your company sends you 5000 miles from home to do a bit of work they must be paying you VERY well

Ah you’d think that. But then you remember they made @Locke go round the back arse of Hungary on a horse and cart to check the manual entries of some lads in the ledger so they could approve of @Locke approving his 250e bonus.

I’ve absolutely loved my job for the past 7 or 8 years (since I started), but this year is very very difficult, I find myself taking a lot of people’s troubles home with me at night, add to that a very difficult group behaviourally and you have a real challenge.
But it’s never boring and I wouldn’t do anything else now despite the shitty money, luckily my missus has good earnings.

Could we have a word with the pope about getting this lad canonised asap

[backinatracksuit]

Ya big baby ya😂

Are you still sore about being caught out lying

[glenshane]

Aye, I’m really sore that yourself and glas stopped sucking the same boiled sweet long enough to indulge in a bit of name calling

[backinatracksuit]

Calling you a liar? Sure that’s just the facts

You’re the ultimate one armed waiter, crying about name calling when shnakey name calling is your calling card

You’re a big baby

[glenshane]

Any other lad could be a bit jaded, fed-up, pissed off with the money. You have to shoehorn in your love of your vocation, your shouldering of everyone’s troubles and your highly paid missus. Fuck me but you’re some piece of work.

[backinatracksuit]

It’s an honest post, something you wouldn’t understand… obviously

[glenshane]

@backinatracksuit

It’s an honest post

It’s yet another humble brag

[backinatracksuit]

You’re a big baby, still sore because I questioned you about the time somebody threatened to contact your employer for some reason you never explained

My post was an honest response to a thread that was lively today, I’m an open book here, I couldn’t give a fuck what you think, you’re a bullshitter

[glenshane]

@backinatracksuit

I questioned you about the time somebody threatened to contact your employer for some reason you never explained

“I questioned you”.
You’re some deluded dose- you asked me a question, I’d the good grace to provide you with an answer and now you’re hopping about like an excited eight year old at her first taylor swift concert…why exactly would i owe you an explanation?

@backinatracksuit

Well educated, approaching 50 with 4 kids and two dogs

I do be reading some of the threads here with fellas showing off their fancy work trips (I wouldn’t do it for gold) thinking they must be earning at least triple that for very little actual work

Bar flatty being treated like a VIP out in Pakistan there’s very little to look forward to about business trips. The travel and jetlag drains you completely as you get older if you’ve to head to the US or further than Europe. You’ll usually work longer hours while away just because there’s fuck all else to do in the evenings, or else spend time talking shite to co-workers you’ve nothing in common with apart from being paid by the same company - which is often worse than working. And when you’ve young kids left at home with a wife who’s also working it usually means you’re returning home, wrecked tired to an absolute disaster zone.

Thats very jaded. I still.enjoy the travel when it presents. Local foods, talking to locals, change of scenery etc.

Its the same day travel i hate. Early out/late back and spend most of your time commuting

[backinatracksuit]

Ya I asked you a question, I questioned you

You never answered, you said something like you wouldn’t reply to a sparrowfart like me or something like that
Anyway, this was a nice thread, you just had to be a cunt because you’re a big baby

Most of my travel seems to be either the US or Switzerland now. In both countries, talking to locals is painful for different reasons!
