    I’m gonna put in minimum effort regardless of pay. It’s capitalism. I’m being forced to work so I don’t die. I don’t want to work. But since I have to, I will do the bare minimum.

      So you think the rest of us should work, keep the world turning and support you? You can always homestead some land, grow/hunt/catch your own food, weave your own clothes, all that. LOL, if you think you’re forced to work now.

      Haven’t been at my job for a month, GM and 2 of the AGMs are already noticing me.
      I work hard, am already stronger mentally and physically, already getting better work and better schedules. Got pulled in the GM’s office while walking by, “Hey Shalafi, we’ve been talking about you! How would you feel about doing $better_job next month?”

      Meanwhile, the lazy get part-time work on the shitty night shift. You’re a night shift guy.

        Imagine thinking the point of life is to work, and not to live. Imagine being that far up your own ass.

        I’d pity you if you weren’t so smug.

        The good ol’ argument: You don’t like capitalism? Be a cave man. XD And yes, I am working night shifts. I get to do less and get paid 20% more than the day shift.

        You are a fool and they will use you up and discard you like a tissue. There is a vast difference between taking pride in good work and selling yourself short.

        I am sure the folks on night shift know of your attitude and leave shit for you to clean up, not because they are lazy but because they hate you.

        Congratulations on appeasing middle managers, the laziest people taking the most and doing the least are at the top of the hierarchy, not the bottom.

        Ah, good old capitalism apologia. I’m not sure the billionaires need your fervent protection, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

        Also if you think you will see any of the profits from that better job, that’s quite humorous. You will, at most, get a tiny raise that isn’t even comparable to the amount your boss puts in their pocket. Maybe a pizza party.
