Re: I've never been able to hold a job in my life
Always moving from one job to the next, dealing with the same asshole bosses their same questionable work practices and conditions.

I've come to the conclusion that it's better to be a broke loser, I don't want to be my own boss either and have other people shit on me and my business practices.

Most of the people I know like you actually have adhd. I've seen some people turn their lives completely around by getting the proper medication.
I have a feeling you didn't do well in school either? Thats usually another red flag for the condition.

The sad reality is, most under achievers are undiagnosed adhd.
Most people in prisons are aswell, and they all have some form of addiction, whether chemical or not.

Quit being a drug addict/ alcoholic.

Once I got sober it became easy to hold a job.

Perhaps you’re dealing with your “asshole” self and not the bosses.

In all actuality, you’re probably some psych student doing an experiment rn, but hey ok we can run wit it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79534936


I've been in a couple situations where the boss left. I was totally fine under the original boss, often working somewhere for a number of years, then the new boss comes in suddenly I'm getting bad reviews and getting labeled as a problem child despite my having made zero changes in my demeanor or work output.

Re: I've never been able to hold a job in my life
I'm 53 and have had the same problem all my life. I've had 30 jobs total.

First, you probably have problems. Don't wait until your 48 like I did find out what they are. Once you find out, deal with them, don't discuss with people who aren't educated enough to help anyhow. Lay down a strict "no drugs" rule with any help and see if there are ways to fix the problems without them.

Quit beating yourself up if you're honestly trying. During my time, I did always work. I was in trucking, then computer programming. Both of those jobs are easy to hop around with if you're skilled. After some time, the relationships at those jobs would fall apart as I just couldn't fit in.

Once you find out the problems, start looking for work that you can do with that problem. Don't shoot for high paying work because people with problems generally can't hang with the stress of those jobs. Money is nice, but if you're setting yourself up for failure, why bother.

For me, I write and drive gig jobs. Gig jobs are awesome because I run the show for the most part and I can start and stop at my convenience. If the stress is going high, I simply take however much time I need off. Gig jobs are deceptively low in pay and benefits though and they're just a band-aid or additional income.

Good luck and keep trying.

I know a guy like you.
I typed his resume on MS word about 20 years ago. It was about 13 pages long with all the jobs he had.

I believe he lives on the street today Im not sure.

The world is vile. We are in the end times. The beast system is already in place. Remember, the gate is narrow. Endure until the end. The mob has abandoned the truth, and is under judgement. Pay no attention to man, institutions of man, nor creations of man. All faith, and all focus on God Almighty. Pray incessantly. God bless.

The first time I left. The second time I was blindsided. Never received any complaints, glowing review year before with $10K raise, boss never had any talks with me about any problems. I found out the night before when I was continuing to work at home and suddenly lost access to the systems. I called my boss who told me I was being terminated. Wouldn't give me any clear answers on anything... Kept stating it was a "business decision."

I looked into suing but I was in an "at will" state and every lawyer I spoke with told me I was probably wasting my time.

The entire office was actually floored. I got calls from several people asking WTF as I had been there for years and didn't really have any issues with anyone. Apparently, they kept it tightly under wraps, even to the HR people. To this day I still don't know what the actual reason was. They didn't fight an unemployment case. There were a couple of others in different departments that were also let go around the same time.

Well, he kinda started riding my ass when he came on about some of the implementation decisions. We were a red hat shop but he wanted to know why we weren't using something more serious like Solaris, for example. They were already well invested in a RedHat infrastructure when I started there and I didn't really see any good reason to change that during my tenure, and neither had my previous boss. We also had in house software that was specifically written to run on Linux and probably was not portable to Solaris.

He also kept asking why we were not using cloud services like AWS(which was brand spanking new at the time). Under the previous boss I had been told that the owners wanted to run in house and self host. They were very adamant about keeping physical custody of the data. I had actually suggested a few times that we move production infrastructure to a Colo but they shot that down.

At any rate, these decisions weren't really my own. I simply implemented what was requested by my boss at the time using the infrastructure we had. We did end up virtualizing, which was also pretty spanking new at the time.

I think there was some soreness around unexpected downtime but I wasn't the one who suggested to re-implement the entire infrastructure that was working fine. Additionally, this was in a time period when virtualization was still a little "half baked" and we were running into some problems like kernel issues that I couldn't really address and needed attention from the vendor. They refused to buy a support contract from Red Hat so all I could do was reboot on kernel crashes and wait for Red Hat to publish a patch. I was not hired as a kernel developer nor was that ever in the job requirements.

We had 4 9's of uptime, so it's not like shit was down constantly. We were sitting at something like 99.996% up and we had power related outages I had no control over. We had a backup site but used DNS based fail over so it took approx 2 minutes to switch sites if we lost power. The company had not made any investment in BGP, which I had been suggesting.
