I work as a Fund admin at one of the largest insurase company in Sweden. It's alright, pays alright.

I start at 07:00 and get the fuck out at 15:30. 90% of my work is done with headphones. The co-workers are kinds of alright. However, there's plenty of high school drama shit. Oh, well.

Huh, I guess all jobs there are kind of the same. Except I loathe my coworkers.
You know I thought these forums were a for skating not discussing fetishes

I left my computer career in 2019 after 23 years.  Unix/Linux sysadmin type stuff.

Stay at home Dad for about 2.5 years after that, which included LOTS of skating.  E.g. - In October I averaged a 42 minute skate every day of the month on my backyard mini.

3 weeks ago started part-time as a package handler for one of the big package moving/delivery companies.

Also own 2 buildings with 9 apartments total for the past 10 years, so landlord and property manager for that time as well.

IT or software testing seems like it would cool to me. At least your inside, clean, use your brain, and probably not too physically toast to skate. Im about to start a job as a vehicle inspector this month. Likely checking for damage for wholesale or auction cars or something like that. It's probably going to suck since I'm going to be outside all day and the winters are gnarly here and the pay is low.

I plan to keep apply to digital marketing jobs since that's what I studied but trying arrange interviews is going to be challenging.

4.5 Million Americans quit their job in the month of November. Any thoughts on this?

Happy for those who can somehow afford to quit their jobs.  Sorry for those who have to support them.  Not downplaying the importance of mental health, though.

Been looking into other career options outside of the low paying, back breaking construction gig I’m in now.  Downloaded an app that teaches you how to code last night.  My head hurt and eyes were burning after about 20 minutes.  Guess it’s not for me.

Didn't a lot of this have to do with the vaccine mandates?

I have a lot of friends/family that are in healthcare and they all said a bunch left/got fired because they refused to get the vaccine.

Elemantary School Librarian, I absolutely love it. Kids get to come in, I read to the younger ones and the older ones I play a quick game with them. Get to know the students and connect with them with stuff that I like and learn stuff they like. I get a lot of down time in between classes so I listen to a lot of music and watch skate videos.

That sounds great. My kid loves the library. I wish I had the foresight when I was younger to think about what I wanted to do when I “grow up.” I like what I do now and it’s fulfilling, sometimes. I just think about all the better shit I could be doing and get envious.

Not gonna lie, at my wife's hospital (Southern CA) all the people who quit/got fired for the refusal to get the jab were MAGA people. And they all said they're going to move to a "free" state i.e. Florida, Indiana, Texas, Kansas, etc.

The OC would be soooooo amazing if all of those people actually did move away

What do you do for work? I sit in an office, by myself for 12 hours a day doing whatever. Lots of time to lurk.


I just started an office job.. how do you not loose your shit?!

This Slap board helps for like an hour a day... what about the other 7 hours!? Theres not enough Dumb Data or Gifted Hater content to keep me entertained or "busy" for the entire week. lol

When possible, every couple of hours, get up and walk around.

If you can work and listen to something, subscribe to audible or some kind of digital books from your library, you'd be surprised how many books you can get through.

I didn’t quit and I’m not American, but I did like seemingly millions of others change jobs in the last few months. The great resignation they call it. The last place I worked had close to 80% turn over if I had to guess, including some people quitting without another job lined up. Mind you the place was being run poorly and burnout was a huge factor.

I can tell you're a Cocteau Twin fan from your board graphics and titles.
Before you say the music sucked, have you considered shutting the fuck up?

Yup, hope to make the graphics and aesthetic a homage to the shoegaze/dreampop scene

My wife does! She did the UX Springboard bootcamp and did a career change with it. Wasn't easy, thats for sure. But thankfully she was able to transition internally to an associate product design gig, which was the best case scenario. Kudos to her for networking and sticking through it

I had a short stint doing something that i dreamed of and went to school for. Management was toxic as hell. Exaggerated our results, fired people for no reason, made bad decisions, and created a bad safety culture. I called em out for all this shit and low and behold i got the boot. Even though some of my work was enough to apparently secure millions in funding. Fuck working for other people. Do the bare minimum and fuck off or work for yourself.

Been doing illustrating gigs as well as working for several stock agencies, which I'm fucking stoked on! Husband is trying to get a remote job. There's free land in several states due to the rapidly decreasing population in the area. Yinz wanna move to Kansas and try to legalize curb dancing?
