Pressure to work more and more….

[MemberParticipant 323]

I find myself in this position a lot in my work life and was wondering if the other guys here do too.

I was a fairly independent thinker even before the Red Pill hit. After the anguish of divorce, custody fights, and related problems I suddenly had even less of an appetite for the Rat Race and working lots of hours. No point in spending all my time away from kid I love just to make a few extra bucks right? Problem is that companies don’t seem to respect that much. The pressure is always there to work extra hours or weekends just to give the right “perception”. To make matters worse my type of thinking is rare….everyone else seems to care more about ladder climbing than being at home with their kids at night and weekends. A lot of them are divorced strangle enough. Weird huh?

Do any of you deal with this at your job? Seems like anyone that actually wants to have a family life is scorned and becomes a target nowadays. Thoughts?

i chose to work part time instead of full time.

Mgtow saves money.

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

No kids but because I am unmarried I am singled out to work more at times, said no after caving in for a few weeks, made me realize what’s more important.

Unfortunately, like it’s said on the main page. Companies demand loyalty, but give none to the employee in return. For to them, we are expendable, and replaceable. Esp with someone younger. In an overpopulated world with fewer jobs, employers have plenty to pick from, and there’s always someone wanting work. In the end, you have to do what’s best for YOU. Because YOU have to look in the mirror at the end of the day, and be happy with who you see.

I work overtime for the extra money when I want something, not need.

I was recently hired as a new grad RN with the expectation of working 40-50 hours a week. I personally don’t mind it as I have nothing better to do and the pay is very good. Might as well take advantage while I’m still young enough to save as much as possible.

If it has tits or tires, you know you're going to have problems.

The corporate world runs on the sweat and backs of Men. I have seen it more then once with Fortune 500 companies grind long term men into dust only to demote or fire them after MANY years of Long Days, Nights, Weekends, Business Trips, and Holidays.

If you can find another type of work that has more of set hours, and less of “required” nights, weekend, and holidays then the more power to ya !!

Through my own experiences and those of others I have learned that you should try and treat your career like you are an independent contractor…..if things are not going the way you agreed then you have every right to move on to the next gig with no remorse. It’s better to see the writing on the wall and leave on your terms before “the man” decides for you. Have seen a lot of good people get caught in office politics or scapegoated for no reason.

Sometimes easier said than done in this economy but it helps if you keep debts low or nil. You can tell that most people have no clue what you are talking about when this subject comes up…..the glazed sheeple look comes over their eyes as they stare at you.

I only work in a fast food place as a team member. I’ve had about 7 days off in 3 months. It’s hard physical graft. This time last year I was working 40 to 60 hr + weeks regularly but it was mostly okay because I was working and saving all of the time.

Now my hours have been dropped. The company is in administration so our store opening times have been cut. My shifts are shorter, and on top of that I’m being sent home early a lot.

What sucks though is that I’m still there most days, and I’m coming out with about half the hours. Took 3 days off this week (first time in a long time) and I’ve had 22 hours – No good. Too low. So I can’t take many days off like this. Hard work too. It’s starting to take a toll physically.

I called Bulls~~~ on the work till you drop materialism game right from the get go. That is what kills men..I pulled my share of long days (nights) gigging and working in the studio but it never felt like work since it was creative. I tell my boys and ALL younger men not to become a slave on the Anglo plantation.

Be professional be polite but always have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

I hear you but I’m doing all this so I can have a very modest flat paid for and owned by the time I’m 39/40 ish. When I reach that point I know I won’t ever have trouble paying rent or worry that I have to keep working to pay rent. I will only ever have to work 15 or 20 hours a week at this point. I will have options. Take it easy and work less. Keep working and invest for dividends. Scale it somewhere in between.

Also I know this is backwards for most people. I’m not personally in position to try different careers, trades, jobs in practicalty, as I see it. Most people move on if they aren’t satisfied. It’s better to sooner rather than later. You don’t want to be stuck in a dead end career.

I would rather hold out and work my arse off where I am for 3 – 5 years. Then I’m relatively free. Very awkward personal thing I have going on but I’m basically socially retarded. I can’t work a till, customer facing, a phone. So I’m pretty limited as I see it. Hence the s~~~ physically labourious jobs.

Not totally depressed though because I know there is self employment, business, investing, internet opportunity, which I have had some success with. I need to get the flat owned, paid for ASAP as I see it. Then I can do all of this, and at least survive. I couldn’t with hundreds of pounds going on rent each month. I could with a paid for flat. Or then I can try new places. Last 3 weeks and f~~~ up or get sacked and it isn’t really a dangerous place for me to be in. Doing it my way.
