I have plenty of books and games and my dad gives me half priced books gift cards every now and then and I stock up on books so I always have new ones to read. As long as I can pay rent and car insurance and internet I'm fine. <cite>Kamala_Harris posted [p:891398943] in I quit a j... [t:76050530]...</cite> <quote>Honestly I mean my hobbies are pretty cheap.

Though I understand the value many people hold in settling, I get uncomfortable and bored if things don't change for a while. I've been doing the same, but I'm currently going on three years and likely more at my current job because I don't want my resume littered with too many short jobs, just in case a potential employer sees that as undesirable. Plus my current job is pretty sweet in terms of work, pay, co-workers, and benefits. But yeah, it's great leaving knowing I won't have to deal with whatever bullshit of the current job anymore. It's especially sweet if I'm on a long-term many-iteration project where decisions have been made that I know will lead to trouble in the future even after I've given warnings about the potential pitfalls, but I will avoid that by leaving. --- :D https://imgur.com/a/FU9H8 <cite>1337toothbrush posted [p:891436769] in I quit a j...

GrAyFoX312k 12/02/17 1:56:03 AM #76:	Of course you were working alot. Its holiday time and you worked for a shipping company. You had 20 hours overtime pay at 16 an hour base pay, time and half meant those 20 hours of overtime would have been at 24 an hour. Thats over $400 ON TOP of your normal paycheck thats 7 more an hour than your new job. That bonus amount of money is probably what you will make one pay period at your new job. With all that said, your own happiness is the most important thing.

[t:76050530]...</cite> <quote>Of course you were working alot. Its holiday time and you worked for a shipping company. You had 20 hours overtime pay at 16 an hour base pay, time and half meant those 20 hours of overtime would have been at 24 an hour. Thats over $400 ON TOP of your normal paycheck thats 7 more an hour than your new job. That bonus amount of money is probably what you will make one pay period at your new job. With all that said, your own happiness is the most important thing. Peak season can be rough.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've heard that working at the warehouses can be brutal but I don't think I've heard anything about a corporate position. It seems like working at Amazon is brutal no matter the position. I interviewed at Amazon for a software development position and I saw a whole bunch of warning signs. The location I was at was an open office with a snackbar, ping pong table, and some of those bouncy balls you can sit on (while still having regular chairs, of course), so it was one of those "work hard, play hard" places where you're expected to basically live there because of what they provide. You'd go home pretty much to just sleep, but even then you can't escape work since you were on-call. I had asked about on-call duties since I wanted to avoid that. The guy said they love it because they love "having ownership of their project". I didn't give a shit about getting the position by that point, especially since I was already working but just looking to move. --- :D https://imgur.com/a/FU9H8 <cite>1337toothbrush posted [p:891456850] in I quit a j...

I find much more value in moving around than I do moving up and I feel I've grown so much more in the past 1 year jumping around between jobs than I did staying put at one job for 2.5 years. Though I understand the value many people hold in settling, I get uncomfortable and bored if things don't change for a while. the only thing i would say it to be careful because moving around a lot can hamper your 401k/it'll be tough to build other benefits/vacation time --- "Who dares, wins" 3DS FC: 1521 3697 7272 <cite>NightMarishPie posted [p:891456959] in I quit a j...

And no, "wage slavery" is not the chattel slavery we had until 1865. It's people whining that they actually have to be productive and can't just get everything for free. Well if some of us don't want to work, why don't we have that right? What if we just want to sit around and play video games? We aren't bothering anyone, and we're humans with basic rights and dignity. We should be afforded these things. Heheh the problem is that there's actually a lot of people who think that and aren't just trolling. Obviously the answer, were you serious, is that those things being provided to you means somebody else providing them for you; to get something you didn't work for, somebody else has to work for it and not get it. I don't think you even understand how this works ....where do you think... those free things come from?

Well it was a living at least, but less than a 40k take-home for 6 day work weeks (16/hr * 60hrs/week * 52 weeks = 49,920, minus ~25% for tax = 37k) is pretty depressing.
