As a young American, how do I motivate myself to work? It feels like the entire system is a scam and it's pointless to even try.
  • That's simply not true. I busted my ass for years and because I was a producer, I was kept in my role.

    Eventually I wised up and left. I put in the absolute minimum effort now and make way more than I have when working hard.

    Work smarter, not harder. And only work hard if it's your own company. Hard work only goes so far and will eventually burn you out.

  • As a young American, how do I motivate myself to work? It feels like the entire system is a scam and it's pointless to even try.
  • It's not easy. What I found helpful is if you can separate work and personal life. Only work for money unless you start your own business.

    Separating the two allows you not to care if the business does poorly, it allows you to not feel guilty when your boss fails or the business does poorly, or needs extra help but you have a date that night.

    I was laid off in September from a company, started a new company on Monday, they announced layoffs on Tuesday, and found out Wednesday my job is safe. Suffice to say, companies don't care about you so get in, cash out.

  • What good thing just happened in your life?
  • I left a company after getting laid off and surprisingly found a job before the 60-day warn notice expired.

    Second day, the new company announced layoffs. Luckily, I wasn't part of it, but that has been a wild ride.

  • Constantly getting logged out

    I will log in, refresh the browser on a different page, and suddenly I'm logged out. This started happening maybe a week ago or so. Any known issues there?

    What is everyone working on?

    I'm working on Playwright and automating some graphs. Not as easy as it sounds when the data is never reliable.

    What did everyone get done this weekend?

    I finished up arrating and over seeding my front lawn. I used a hand tool since it's not a huge area, but still took about an hour.

    Planning to trim the laceleaf maples next weekend.
