I didn't do that exactly... but when my boss told me to do overtime during end-of-quarter crunch on a Saturday night shift (Sat 22:00 to Sun 10:00, factory jobs are fun), the next person I spoke to was my family doctor. She put me on a two-week compulsory medical leave with full pay and straight up told me to get a new job. Unfortunately I couldn't help the company meet their quarterly growth targets. The next time I saw my boss, I handed him my resignation papers.
Sure feels nice to live in a country with real labour laws.
I enjoyed the work itself. It was very autism-friendly. Unfortunately some absolute boneheaded decisions by the middle management wankers during the pandemic resulted in a huge backlog of orders, a shortage of parts, and a constant state of short-staffing.
I have not worked since I adopted the "antiwork" philosophy, but I think I'd do the same. I look at leave now as not asking for it, but telling your employer you're not going to be in during x time.
Swipe typing on the move with three languages on the keyboard. It leads to this kind of problem. Most of the time I check it, but some get through the cracks
I've hated everything I've ever done. Even when i turn my hobbies into a job, I end up hating the hobby AND the job. I am thankful now that I don't have to work, but yeah, I hated every fucking thing.
I'm a school bus driver now and it's great. I get to drive a big Tonka truck around and gaslight children. Sure, I make about 1/6 of what I used to make as a mobile apps programmer, but at least I get good subsidized health insurance and I only work 5 hours a day.

In this loop 2 jobs get started and only 1 gets left. Anon is going to get real busy real soon.

I did this for a few years. "Oh, you are refusing to approve my vacation? K, I'll just quit"

Honest question, how do you afford to live without working?

My mother-in-law used to drive a school bus. Now she makes like $250k per year, but she always says the school bus job was when she was happiest.

You can't be this deep in the thread and drop a gem like Benjamin Bussin'. I keep checking back and get frustrated that no one else is upvoting.

I used to do this. Now they have corps that they outsource background checks for them.

get into secops and start hacking banks.
that's a job, and it pays well even if you suck at it.

The job Mythos is legitimately better at doing than a human because it has a database of techniques a human can't reliably replicate?
Like, yeah, they stole the techniques from humans and the rest are brute forcing but... It can't forget them.
Now, getting a job as a crime guy and tricking idiots into plugging in usbs, that's got a future
