in australia at least, housing markets have inflated along the same timeline as mmos have existed

@Krieger The Viking Plague Doctor you telling me you get something other than automatic rejection letters (if that)?????!

Yeah I got my recent job this way

noice

Feels good, but I have good charisma so the video interview was probably all they needed

I eventually got one from a big corporation with a lot of retail staff

Noice

I own bones at interviews too, but just couldn't get the fuckin things

Interviews are hard to get nowadays. When you're working it's funny cause it seems like there's jobs everywhere and opportunity and stuff but when you don't get a job for 6mnths+ you start to see the other side of there being no jobs.

too many labour hire recruitment scumsucking bastards

Labour work is physically and mentally draining

half or more of jobs advertised online are not actual postions and just some shitbag in an office speculating that their clients may want more meat to put in the grinder eventually and get you on the books in preparation

yeah heavily physical work is a bitch esp when it pays the same as retail slackery

been there, have the back damage sensitivity to prove it

gtfo'd before I actually hurt myself

I worked for a caravan maker once, first day I never used a tool in me life he handed me a nail gun and said "here you go don't kill yourself with it, the boys will tell you what to do". Paid $20/hr entry, my current work is $24 an hour and in an office.

seems easier to twinge and have a sore back for a few days after heavy shitty lifting now, but nothing different in normal life

fuckyeah office work

aircon and a chair is the dream

Unless you're doing something that pays really well like a welder or an electrician I wouldn't manual labor.

Electricians get a median of 90k a year here

I am happy to have done warehousing to have gained a good perspective of what hard/easy work truly is

if I did my current job as a first-ish job I would probably be a little bitch about it

We're always taught in school work smarter not harder, same for employment.

What are you doing then?

Who?

bottleshop now, so only some occasional not-heavy lifting + retail

used to be doing building supplies and car parts warehouses

I see, doesn't sound bad

boxes of structural bolts + towbars and brake discs taught me what is truly shit in life

Bottleshops are comfy. I wouldn't wanna work there because I'm an ex alco.

Yeah, people who never worked manual labor often don't appreciate how easy their office jobs are

I feel bad for people in manual jobs. A lot of them are stuck there because they just wanted to work there for some easy money for a short bit before they move on and then they get stuck there

I have a lot of pity for the guys at my old work, particularly the bolts one

some of them had been there 20+ years

and there were others that had been there long enough to be in the rut of not caring enough to move on

destined to do warehouse bitchwork forever is giving up on life
