have $120k/year wfh job
company does like 10k layoffs and outsourcings over last 2 years
job is safe because it requires a lot of judgement, expertise and meeting w/ upper management
still afraid of being laid off
dont make enough money to buy a house in area with jobs
want to move back to rural hometown with cheap $150k homes
would be MEGA FUCKED if ever laid off since remote jobs are now rare
this is pure suffering. i need to figure a way out of this mess.
Just dump a full year's worth of wages into an alt coin that's set to x100 and you'll be fine.
okay ranjesh please tell me which bags your village holds
This is me except it's 78k/year and they forced us to go into the office 3 days a week.
Survived thousands of people being laid off over the the past few years, we outsource most of our work to india now while the important work and decisions is still done by a skeleton crew of locals.
Not paid enough to afford a home in my area, can't move to a cheaper area because I have to go into the office 3 days, all I can do is keep paying rent and accumulating savings/investments.
My best case would be getting laid off at this point, at least then I'd get a few months of paid time to try to work on my own business.
i was hired fully remote and am 6 hours from "the office" so i think i'm safe from RTO. but they did cuck my boss and coworkers by making him go in 1 day a week.... and then they cucked him again by laying off 2 of his 4 direct reports so he has to drive 1 hour each way to go to the office and manage 2 indians who live 6000 miles away. i dont know how he hasnt gone postal.
Very similar spot for me. Im honestly tired of this 9 to 5 bullshit. Yeah Im hitting my 401k and roth goals, but I need more than that. I need the security and freedom. Bros we gotta figure out how to make at a million within the 5 years
Same here. I make 300k in tech and am in constant fear of being laid off even though I’ve survived a few rounds so far.
My advice to everyone: save your ass off, reduce expenses/pay down debt, try as hard as possible to build up a decent nest egg so that if you get fired you can at least have your investments compounding.
I have about a million now and my bills are low enough where I could become a minimum wagie and still cover necessities while the 1M compounds on its own.
Anyone making decent money should assume the gravy train will end sooner or later and plan accordingly.
If your job is done remotely you're fucked and I'm surprised your not part of the 10k layoffs as 100% wfh are the easiest positions to fire and replace.
They pay you 120k a year, they can easily find someone else in the world with experience / degrees that can do your job for half or a quarter the price.
so he has to drive 1 hour each way to go to the office and manage 2 indians who live 6000 miles away
kek that's unreal
None of it really makes sense to me, the reasoning for forcing RTO is entirely opaque, the company functioned well and was profitable when everyone was remote, it only costs money to force people into the office. Making RTO optional would immediately save floorspace and money. Feels like there's just some backroom handshake deals going on to save commercial real estate.
We had a separate office building a few cities away that people that lived in that area went to and they forced them to drive it, some people lived 1hr away as well. The lease expired on the building though and they decided not to renew so everyone that was working in that building just got to switch to fulltime remote.
Meanwhile, everyone at my office building still has to go in 3 days a week, and they renewed the lease here "for a very long time", so no chance of that happening. Sucks so much knowing how close I was to getting full remote, if I just lived in that city instead.
I do have one hope, the boomer manager above us is really the only one enforcing RTO policy and he's already 65 and should be retiring soon. Not sure who will replace him but I just hope it's not this other late 50s year old boomer, she comes in 5 days a week, eats lunch with him daily, and likes to talk shit about us to him whenever we work from home. If we get someone chill we'd be fine.
Bros we gotta figure out how to make at a million within the 5 years
For me I do half crypto and half index funds in tax advantaged accounts, about 800k net worth now, but I'd need 1.3m to cover my expenses at a 4% safe withdrawal rate. If we get a nice crypto run I might be set this year, but even if prices go sideways for 5 years I should be able to reach retirement.
Talk to a lawyer if you want to. You might have state employment protection under a disability. Social anxiety? Attack helicopter sexuality? Married into it? No judgement.
manage 2 indians who live 6000 miles
This is the most cuck retard illogical thing mgmt does. They make u go to office while Rajesh works from his living room on other side of planet because 'office culture"
My hatred for modern biz mgmt as manager by absolutely useless mouth breathing midwits is literally bottomless
This is just the most basic standard advice everyone should be adhering too, especially if you are making a lot of extra bank, don't necessarily live in fear, but definitely assume you are getting call literally in nezt 5 minutes that the gravy train is over...
Yep but most people who make good money just allow lifestyle inflation to bring their spending up to or exceeding their income
they looked at my work and immediately determined it's well beyond the capabilities of any turdskin. the CFO, CAO, and CEO put their signature on my work as a matter of regulatory compliance. yes, my pay is shockingly low for such responsibility.
I think generically this is absolutely the management mind set, on a case by case basis it's probably not as true, or at least the notion that you can't be replaced to include moving your function to chyna #1 or jeetistan can happen to virtually any job that is not a service industry(plumber, surgeon) or something the fed says needs to be done here(mil spec)
Literally everything else can be replaced/moved.
What do office managers do?
I work in restaurant management so my job is mostly unfucking things but I feel like there’s not a lot of overlap besides the word “manager”
Wait you guys are in fear of RTO and being laid off?
wfh tech chad
Can’t lose what I never had
35
Working minimum wagie job for past decade
Where do I even go from here when they are starting to pile on more shit to a minimum wage job, plus having shity coworkers (one extremely lazy and the other a nitpicking bipolar boss)
job is safe because I have meetings
You niggas are retarded as fuck. Seriously the dumbest people on 4cuck use this board.
Europe, japan ect. also exists. That’s almost a billion white or close to white people.

I think you misunderstand how generally non-racist the majority of corporate America is. No, management and Fortune 500 CEOs aren’t looking at the world through the lense of racial IQ scores. And I’m not ‘siding with them’ I’m just telling you how it actually is so you can act accordingly play defensively.
i do statutory reporting for a $100 billion a year line of business.
Yeah like I said, a retard
what do you do for a living? unskilled or low skill manual labor?
search for another job in said good areas
keep searching for a while because this shit takes time
rent a place with decent cost x benefit
eventually buy a house with your better income
spreadsheet boy thinks he’s “skilled labor”
im a licensed cpa with 10 years of experience and big 4 and fortune 50 experience on my resume.
So why so much apprehension and anxiety? You’re good bro!!!

The raped
NPC fag here.
You log in. You “gm.”
You post a GIF. You get a “based.”
No emotions.
No drama.
One guy said he got married.
He was banned.
They don’t want souls here.
They want NPCs.
And I’ve never felt safer.
lmao what the fuck kind of workplace is this? I am baffled
why are you still working min wage after all this time?
It was actually a pretty good job and always worked with good people.
Plus depression period etc and being borderline agoraphobic (literally have to keep my lifestyle and places I go tight to function). Now this job essentially suited all my needs but is now starting to feel not worth it. Such as going to the other side of town for BS training for this min wagie job.
Don't know where and how to go from here. Trust me, I feel very aware that I fucked up
Bonus is I have $150k cash saved and $105k in stocks/ETFs. Being basically himikomori outside of work and groceries I get by on $140ish/week which I make off interest alone.
Don't pay rent due to living in a bare bones room in a relatives backyard lol
get fucked wagecucks, hopefully you will get laid off.
have you ever worked remotely before? If so, you'd know about the isolation and rotting away feels.
It's hard to get quality pussy being home 24/7. At the office, the young girls just approach you and make it obvious they want your cock. Happened within 1 week of me going into the office during a company wide event for 1 week.
I've been basically hiding from the world for 5 years now. Hinge still has sluts who believe I'm genuine and don't just want sex, but I'm more or less decided on one girl I've been with for a while. Only 28... there's always that thought on one more bender...

Yeah we were all fully remote during covid. Rolling out of bed and opening my work laptop was preferable to waking up early to getting ready and packing lunch and commuting through traffic to sit in a cubicle.
At the office, the young girls
lol, lmao
We don't have young girls at the office. Women at the office start at mid 40s, and all of them are taken, not that you'd want it at that point anyway.
Going into the office for pussy is some of the most retarded shit I've ever heard as well.
120/year wfh job
How? those are almost extinct lmao wfh is almost exclusively poojet territory nowadays. You are beyond lucky.
I didn't buy bitcoin when it went for 18k merely two or three years ago during the great black swan and I regret it so much I sometimes stay awake at night just thinking about it. What I missed out on. I'd be free right now if I bought 5 bitcoin, which was just 90k. Easy buy. I don't know how the fuck I missed that. Now I'm waiting for btc to sink lower so i can hopefully buy 0.5 while holding xbt. The irony is soul crushing.

Why? Women pulling 60k+ have nicer bodies and are less diseases than what you're likely to find on Hinge.
120k year remote job
"pure suffering"
kill yourself faggot
Welcome to my life. Just got laid off after 15 years. I got a few months of severance at full pay, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
I never saw that coming.
You should have a massive nest egg after that. Something like 2k*12months*15years or about 360k. Am I close?
