How did you stay sane in the wage cage? I just want to go into work, do a job, go home, budget, invest and pray I'll have enough to one day jump the wall and run free. I just started a new job and they've got me doing some soul crushing Maoist tier 'diversity and inclusion' video course. There's literally one point thats like 'Don't trust your thoughts and feelings, because they could be wrong'. The fuarrrk is this for? I'm thinking of starting to look exclusively for jobs where I can work at home at least. I can't be a NEET but I've got so little invested in this system I sort of get it.

>>32375 >How did you stay sane in the wage cage? Beer and escapism. >they've got me doing some soul crushing Maoist tier 'diversity and inclusion' video course That's anywhere man. It's just a liability thing so that if you sperg out the company can say they told you not to. "We do not foster a culture of sperg and do not condone this behavior." It's also job security for people who got soykaf-tier liberal arts degrees. Same thing with safety/productivity courses in most hands-on jobs except instead of liberals you have to deal with six-sigma morons. >I'm thinking of starting to look exclusively for jobs where I can work at home at least It's worse from home to be honest. I hardly see anyone and can afford to be drunk most of the time. That sounds nice. That's why I put myself in this cage; but it's a different kind of hell. Isolation is nice when it's still optional. Not sure if you have anyone in your home life but I live completely alone. I'm honestly about to go get a part time job just so I have something to look forward to in the week. If that's what you choose however most call centers no longer require you to come into the office.

>>32375 >I'll have enough to one day jump the wall and run free If your life outside of work is empty then getting rid of work will just leave you with emptiness. >>32384 >It's just a liability thing so that if you sperg out the company can say they told you not to. It's called ESG. Corporations are literally paid to be woke.

>>32394 >It's called ESG. Corporations are literally paid to be woke. Who and why pays them, though? I don't think any government have enough money to consistently bribe big corporations, do they?

>>32395 Where do you think money comes from? It's just paper.

>>32396 merrily merrily morality life is but a dream

>>32395 blackrock. bunch of jews.

>Maoist tier 'diversity and inclusion' Oh grow up. And that soykaf is neoliberalism, not "maoism." Sorry to say but we live under capitalism; if you're not part of the 0.01% then you have to deal with it and wageslave. Seriously put in your 40 hours a week, do good work, live frugally, and find stuff in your freetime that gives you fulfillment. Also take up meditating; it really helps. That's the best one can do, really. If there was some easy to escape wageslavery, everybody would do it.

>>32399 Yeah I don't know where people get these ideas. Anyone who thinks Mao would have been concerned with this stuff hasn't read a history book. He solved his own "culture wars" by mobilizing an army of school children to lynch their own teachers. >If there was some easy to escape There are plenty of ways to escape to varying degrees but no, none of them are "easy". Some of them require a good deal more work, the appeal being that it's your own work and by your own choices, but that's for another thread.

Back when I had the most boring dead-end office temp job in the world I would read books at my computer while pretending to work. It was way less soul-crushing than browsing the web.

>>32399 >Sorry to say but we live under capitalism Not really, ops issue stems from a few printing money wildly to finance forcefeeding their stupid ideas to everyone by paying corps to follow them. Corps naturally do it because following orders to get paid is guaranteed money unlike trying to win customers. Meanwhile the people in control of this are completely separated from capitalism since they can print whatever amount they want which means they cant lose or fail. The only fail condition for them would be if they take the entire system with them into collapse which also would kill their efforts or they get replaced forcefully beforehand which neither is likely to occur.

Wage cage vs NEET is a false dichotomy. There's also being good at something useful for people and working for yourself. What productive thing would you ENJOY doing from 9 to 5? There's doing that every day and getting good at it. >>32395 Start here https://www.corbettreport.com/yearzero-esg/

>There's literally one point thats like 'Don't trust your thoughts and feelings, because they could be wrong'. The fuarrrk is this for? A lot of people's kneejerk thoughts and feelings to stuff are inappropriate for the workplace and not addressing it can lead to legal soykafstorms for the company. That soykaf is in there because every HR department ever has had to argue with multiple dipshits who said, "I thought what I did was okay" after doing some dumb soykaf like telling a coworker she has good dick sucking lips or saying "my nigga" to a black dude. >misuses Maoist >wants to quit their job over standard video training >doesn't understand that "thoughts and feelings" are not automatically valid It sounds like you're another person with internet brainrot that got triggered by a video telling you to not talk about cocks, pussy, religion or race at work. It's some boring training you'll probably be doing once a year. Who cares?

>>32405 you triggered by his post & projecting hard

>Don't trust your thoughts and feelings, because they could be wrong Sinister. You won't ever have enough to jump the wall btw. That's the hook they use to get wagies to stay forever and give up greater ambitions. The only people who get over the wall risk everything and obsessively take fate into their own hands. Obeying the rules will never get you there.

>>32402 The same people who screech about "not real communism" have no problem carelessly throwing "capitalism" around.

>>32375 Jesus, some of the replies you got huh? But I put myself through it because there are things I care about and (unfortunately) need to pay for - just like most folks. I am not sane however, and lose grip by the day. I break rules as much as possible and try to get the fuarrrk out of here at almost any cost just like >>32413 said. They have all created an environment, I just live in it.

>>32375 >they've got me doing some soul crushing Maoist tier 'diversity and inclusion' video course most places will pay you for training like this, no? I got paid for it at my retail job. just click through it and mute the pc. I _agree_ with at least 50% of the diversity and inclusion stuff but anyone normal is just going to mute it and enjoy the minimum wage clicking through a slideshow at home

>>32432 >I _agree_ with at least 50% of the diversity and inclusion stuff It's not supposed to be agreeable it's supposed to be irrational and contradictory. By completing the training you are forced to suppress your critical thinking to prove your loyalty to the establishment. This is basic 1984 authoritarianism 101 soykaf.

>>32433 There's nothing irrational or contradictory about a business telling you to be respectful of your coworkers.

>>32433 Almost all of it is like "don't treat your coworkers like racial/sexual stereotypes" In a job like construction or warehouse work the fact that your black coworkers will beat the soykaf out of you if you call them a nigger is a form of self-regulating basic respect, but officer workers are supposed to be meek and mild-mannered so the corporation has to formally reprimand you for it. The fact that this is the case is way more Orwellian than the diversity training itself, which is no stupider than anything else about worthless office jobs.

>>32438 >respectful of your coworkers. That's just common sense and there shouldn't be any extra training bs. Why it's acceptable that they treat you almost like you are some sort of criminal or something? And the diversity and inclusion stuff also includes so-called "affirmative action" which is straight out of Orwell's 1984 and it's evil and unjust. Basically, people get "scored" based on how ""vulnerable"" or ""special"" they are.

>>32440 >Why it's acceptable that they treat you almost like you are some sort of criminal or something? haha what having to sit for half an hour and not watch bs "training" being treated like a criminal? >And the diversity and inclusion stuff also includes so-called "affirmative action" which is straight out of Orwell's 1984 and it's evil and unjust. Yet another example of a person who has never read 1984 but reallly likes to cite it

>>32441 >having to sit for half an hour and not watch bs "training" being treated like a criminal? It's same as having a CoC. They think that you can't behave like a normal human being. >Yet another example of a person who has never read 1984 but reallly likes to cite it Or you don't understand that there is nothing "affirmative" in "affirmative action". It's just another word for "discrimination".

>>32442 So you're not even going to try and defend your statements eh?

>>32441 To be fair, affirmative action is in the spirit of 1984. "These people, who are fully capable themselves, need to be helped out in the positions due to our differences, despite the fact that we are actually all the same." -- Of course, I think people take a lot of liberties and should be able to criticise something without referencing fiction (Speculative fiction, but fiction nonetheless.)

>>32445 >These people, who are fully capable themselves, need to be helped out in the positions due to our differences, despite the fact that we are actually all the same." I can't say I agree that this sounds like something the Party would enforce, the PC language part is actually a lot closer to the mark.

>>32440 >That's just common sense and there shouldn't be any extra training bs. In an ideal world. But in the real world, there are plenty of people who don't adhere to it. >Why it's acceptable that they treat you almost like you are some sort of criminal or something? Payinf you to watch an hour long video that tells you not to use slurs at work isn't treating you like a criminal. >And the diversity and inclusion stuff also includes so-called "affirmative action" That's never been part of any diversity training I've seen. >which is straight out of Orwell's 1984 and it's evil and unjust. Basically, people get "scored" based on how ""vulnerable"" or ""special"" they are. Lol. >>32442 >They think that you can't behave like a normal human being. If they think that then they don't hire you. The training is there because normal people sometimes need to be reminded to be more mindful. Everyone's been an asshole to someone at some point. And also to legally cover the company's ass.

It happens cause the people doing the seminars and regulations get paid doing it. Anything else is fake rationalization to make it sound good. Look these useless people need a job so they start doing busywork to continue getting paid. Any job with oversight slips into doing nonsense regulations just to show they did some work and thus deserve getting paid. These people longterm kill the company by reducing productivity but thats not their problem. Its an old idea that bureaucrats grow like cancer until the tumor is too big to carry and the corporation dies. Same for larger organizations like nations. Same people swarm the next organizations and the cycle restarts.

>>32476 its adopted because its chinas social credit for corps - if you associate with a low ESG corp your own ESG goes down. This leads to ESG victims infecting other corps who wish to do business with them as they have to now also play ball to do business with the ESG infected corp. And as banks also had to follow suddenly loans require it too. So now tons of corps need to comply to live. A simple example of what happens if you ignore it was a bigger ukraine corp that got its credit rating lowered due esg and immediately went down cause it couldn't pay as their loans went up in cost suddenly. This is the scary nightmare that keeps corpos alive who live on loans and makes them comply out of fear.

>>32478 Sauce? From what I can tell "ESG" is yet another attempt at making capitalism less exploitative and more sustainable, which is doomed to fail because of perverse incentives. https://truthout.org/articles/green-capitalism-the-god-that-failed/

>>32479 Sauce on what? The validity of their pr regarding their goals is completely irrelevant to my previous description on how it spreads. And to be honest the stated goals dont work either because lip service gives you better scores than doing honest good work. All you need to do is check rankings. Fortune 500 corps score higher than real environmental preservation corps. Reason is they max out points in virtue signaling that overshadow by far bad scores like pollution that would cost money to fix. Corps follow the money so they obviously followed the cheapest method to max out their scores.

>>32375 >Maoist tier 'diversity and inclusion' video course. What's Mao-like about insensitivity training? I read some of Mao writing, which one talks about "we must make employees watch an hour training for sensitivity training"

>>32480 >sauce on what? On this: >its adopted because its chinas social credit for corps - if you associate with a low ESG corp your own ESG goes down >>32491 A large amount of individuals within those corps do care. That is why the retarded incentive system is nominally working towards something good. The idea was probably conceived by well-meaning idealists.

>>32529 >Members of the group with competence or authority being publicly humiliated and forced to confess imaginary sins against the system to keep them subservient and under control. Found the guy who has never taken a single one of these trainings and formed his opinion of them from fear mongering propaganda outlets and memes. That doesn't happen in these training sessions. They're basically just slideshows you click through alone that tell you not to say stupid soykaf.

>>32511 Is there a list of businesses with a low ESG score? I am looking for shops especially.

>>32530 You may not like it but it happen. Most of the time it's a lot more moderate as the Overton windows have to move slowly, but sometime in a specific place, there is a woker than you moment. Coca cola for instance decided that "try to be less white" was a good slogan.

>>32530 https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-google-leaderships-dismayed-reaction-to-trump-election/ Count for me how many employees start their questions/statements by apologizing for their race/gender. This is the road you are on.

>>32532 >Twitter (TWTR) is one of the most used social media platforms, but it is not actually worth your ESG investment. >While it may not harm the environment like other corporations, it has a meager ethical and social rating from social sustainability. >Xerox >Another of the worst ESG stocks on the market comes from Xerox. Despite the innovations that have come out of the company and the general lack of controversies, they are a poor choice for ESG investment. >Being that they are not in the spotlight, they have been able to avoid making decisions that are socially aware. >Fox >Politics aside, Fox News is not only controversial. It is one of the worst companies to invest in if you care about ESG ratings. >Everything about the company is based on denying facts, unethical behaviors, and poor workplace conditions that would make even dictators blush. >As a company, they are one of the main violators of ESG investing principles, making it a bad stock pick for your portfolio. This is so informative. There other names like Nornickel that produce the rare metals needed to catch small particles or make batteries. They are not green you see, because I say so. The 4 companies with the highest score are investment funds or their branches.

>>32375 >I just started a new job and they've got me doing some soul crushing Maoist tier 'diversity and inclusion' video course. It's inescapable in education and employment. Find a way to make money without having to work with other people and stop interacting with non-whites or leftists in your personal life.

>>32375 >How did you stay sane in the wage cage By abandoning some superficial comforts, I escaped the wage cage. There is more work to be found than you'd think, if you're willing to make compromises. >pray i'll have enough to one day jump the wall and run free Having is the lock that keeps your cage closed, lain. The more you have, the more you have to leave behind to jump. Having is the carrot at the end of the stick. >Don't trust your thoughts and feelings, because they could be wrong. Don't trust your feelings. >Work at home... Your home is now your cage. Congratulations, you've played yourself.

>>32399 >Oh grow up. And that soykaf is neoliberalism, not "maoism." That made my eyes roll. I couldn't imagine any group more violently opposed to inclusion and diversity liberalism than maoists. It's a pretty violent and hateful movement. Red guards would beat or even kill you if they even suspected you were a liberal. Peaceful co-existence and inclusion is not in their vocabulary, they'd denounce you for even suggesting it.

I feel U bro. I'm not at same position as you are, I have small debets, after my teeth broke. I can't even save from month to month, because I'm always at ~40-60% of salary under 0 at the end of month. I had listened to 200h of audiobooks and podcasts about bisnes and self development at my current job, but ~$670 per months isn't much even in Poland. I'm not thinking about making business out of working hours now. I think that I should first get a job where I can save some money, but I feel a bit depressed and scared while I'm thinking about it. I don't know why. After own "looking inside" and LSD and mental hospital phrase I myself said that a fear and excitement have common part that is called trill. But somehow it doesn't make me feel better about all that and I still feel PTSD after last times I got bankrupt (while being wage slave, not doing business) and came back to parents for almost 2 years. Is it normal that life is that hard? Or are we doing something way too wrong? Would I ever go to the way where life isn't that hard? If I never find it wont it mean that continuation of a life is only adding suffering to bilans of my life? I don't know Lains. I so fuarrrking don't know

>>32375 >How did you stay sane in the wage cage? Not thinking about it as cage would probably help.
