this is another one where i'm missing the original message.
no, i dont want to get into HVAC. i dont want to crawl on my knees
into attics and shit. i also dont want to work inside people's old
houses and their fucked up systems.
also there's a lot of people doing it around here, and it seems like
they have grouped multiple jobs into one.

Dunno why you're missing messages. Might want to talk to the sysop of the system you're pulling from.

You do realize that there's different areas of HVAC right? It's not all residential but it seems to me you're just making excuses now.
I know people who are into HVAC and specialize in different areas. What you're saying is showing a lack of knowledge about the subject. I've noticed that every time someone metions another career, you pooh-pooh it and come up with excuses.
Just become disabled like me and get free money from the government. Sounds like what you want anyway...
I don't have excuses. it's not something I want to get into.
I'm still doing well and making more money than i have in the past. I'm ju looking for employment at a company that i can stay with until i retire in first shift position.

My friend if you'd rather "eat a bullet" as you said, then do it already.
Sometimes in life we have to do things we don't want to do and check our egos and dignity at the door. I think you are what... 2 years older than I am, you appear to be a very smart guy but lack the humility to see that you are lucky to have a job while some others are begging to have one.

Here is a strategy to apply on any bad days at work.
"Smile, and take their money."
Working is a mutual using relationship. We work for money to live, and the organization needs us to work for them to exist.
I knew really early that companies could cut you and not shed even a slight tear no matter who you are. Covid was a perfect example of that. No shot, you are out the door. Doesn't matter if you are the best, smartest, hardest working, etc. No one gives a shit. That is something to learn really early on and understand.
The minute I feel like not working anymore, I will leave and not give a shit either.

So i'm going to be happy and spend time with my god daughter. I'm going
to pay my bills.
I have no problem finding employment because i'm a valuable
person with skills and a hard worker. If I'm not at a company and it's
not working out, i'm going to end that relationshit.
I was let go after after I showed a new manager the debit machine he told
me to use didn't work. <shrug> Hope he dies of cancer.
I don't blame people for not wanting to work at certain companies right now. wouldn't either, if I were them. People need to regain control of things. have had all that stolen from us at a political and corporate level.
This is the reason why I think the only reasonable option for moving forward is being self-employed or working for third parties under a Merchantile Agreement. You are your own boss and the only bullshit you have to take is from customers, but customers pay for the privilege so who cares. The only problem with the plan is that pulling it off is far from trivial.

each time we got a paycut, they would point out that the CEO and the
COO took paycuts too. what they didnt mention is that they got the
board to vote them a raise 2 months beforehand. this is a matter of public record and happened every time. i told everybody this.

Better yet, give them a stock bump when the price has dipped, so they can buy low, sell high and do it under the umbrella of "showing faith in the direction and leadership of the company..."
"The company is not your friend -- or your family"
"Your obligation to your employer ends with each pay check. So does theirs."
I would not pick a job at a big corporation right now unless the
conditions were completely amazing or I was very desperate. Corporations right now are indoctrination centers which make you put up with so much bullshit which is unrelated to the task at hand that it makes me puke. THe training materials delivered by international hopitalary corporations are outright dystopian.

You could even substitute the words "company/employer" with "government" the and they would still be true statements.
Starting your own business is not easy, but at least you can avoid all the b corporate indocturing crap. I could actually enjoy my entire day like the g old days.

A lot of private industry in Spain has the government as their sole customer. It is hard to argue that a private infrastructure firm is independent when they get all their money from the government and do what the government says when the government says.
Same thing here. I live in Maryland and can drive to Washington DC in under 2 hours (not that I would want to).

I agree, most around here can't drive. I need my own lane to avoid all the slow pokes and people screwing around with their phones.
