Spend the winter in Chicago plumbing a highrise -10 hour days, standing on cold concrete getting screamed at by the foreman because you moved slower than a jog.

Spend the winter in Chicago plumbing a highrise -10 hour days, standing on cold concrete getting screamed at by the foreman because you moved slower than a jog. fuck that. Like a lot of people I have a laundry list of jobs I've done before my IT career took off and none of them I'd wish upon anyone. There were good days but mostly they were just hard days everyday and money -even as a journeyman I couldn't come close to making what I make now unless I worked 12h days and Saturdays too boot -again, fuck that. The good thing is after 30 years in IT I can do the vast majority of my work on autopilot, I've seen so many things and I know how to work around problems so while stressful it's still better than coming home from the job site and you whole body hurts. Maybe people don't know what a bad job really is.

The thing that bothers me the most about all this and while I 100% get where you are coming from. I feel it just shows how broken everything is where the guy who will die from being crushed by a boom (yeah that was a good friend I still miss you Brandon) while digging a ditch laying a gas pipe line gets paid fuck all, while there is a guy sitting on his ass making 100k+ a year for sucking corporate dick. I hate it all. Sorry, I hope I didn't offend you, I just wish we supported the people who really work in this world. Programming is not work, its dick swigging at its best. There is no justify able reason why I make 3x as much as my wife who easily works harder than me on any day. I just made 90k in 6 months doing fuck all, spending half that time sitting next to people who wear suits to a dinner only to order a $200 stake with cheesecake on it. I did nothing to earn that money. I want nothing to do with these people. I'm just grifting capitalism, and I hate myself for it. I want to be reminded that I'm a human again. Honestly if any of you idiot CEOs see this, fuck the corporate get away at the stupid vineyard, Take me to a shelter so we can volunteer if you want to build team mortality.

  I never worked harder and got treated worse than when I worked for minimum wage, that just seems to be how things work -it might not be right but it's how it is.
