Age and current time with your employer?

[prs97]

Let's see. Current one is about 8 weeks now.

I've had more jobs than socks and I think the universe may have finally hooked me up.

Career-wise, I feel like I've been punished in this life for sins that I committed in a past life. Sins like humping the sister of someone very important and then wiping down the equipment on the drapes on the way out the door.

After 22 years in the IT industry, I've had a bunch of different jobs in a bunch of different industries, and have had more managers than I would care to count.

Actually, I just did and the total is 15 different managers over 22 years. Fif-teen!

A bunch of dopes. A few sociopaths. Some absentee landlords. An "I'm smarter than everyone" tyrant, and a minuscule percentage of really good ones.

Sigh. Only 8 more years to retirement.

I spent a couple years in the IBEW local 27 here in Maryland back in the mid 90's. I made it through my first year apprenticeship/school but left because journeyman were telling me how they could be laid off for months at a time. Not really thinking it through then, I could have easily gotten by with side work being an electrician had I stuck with it.

Very true it's just the way it is like I haven't worked a Jan or February for 2 years straight now always doing a side Hussle etc

I'll be 36 in June. I've been in my field for 16 years and with my current employer for 8 years this September.

Wish I would have joined the military right out of highschool like I wanted and done something that mattered.

I think this too. I was just talking with someone at the gym about how I wished I had join the army or become a cop. However, knowing where our country is. Knowing where the world is…I’m glad I didn’t. I wouldn’t die for my country right now. I wouldn’t die enforcing (well, not enforcing) the laws we have for fear of going to jail for the rest of my life.

I’m with you though….my job is meaningless. Nothing about it changes the world. Oh well. At least I can take the money my communist, leftist company pays me to buy “assault weapons” and home School my kids so they aren’t transed.

As someone in a meaningless job yup.

I go to an oil site. I push a button. I sit there for 4 hours. I watch Netflix and listen to podcasts

Nothing more. Nothing less

Nah.. red lobster. I feel like the servers are more classy

Do you get free biscuits?

Once in a while I get the meaningless feeling at work. Once I'm done with what I'm working on I don't see it until the next cycle. It can get tedius. But a couple months ago they brought over sailors as a training/help program and talking to them reminds me of the end user.
