AS A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER, MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT AGILE IS HOW MUCH TIME IS SPENT DOING USELESS MEETINGS WITH PEOPLE WHO BERATE ME FOR NOT HAVING MY WEBCAM ON WHILE WE TALK ABOUT DUMB PROCEDURAL MINUTIAE I LITERALLY COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT
job gripe, all caps
NEVER WORK FOR THE US GOVERNMENT NEVER WORK FOR LARGE CORPORATIONS AND BY GOD NEVER BE A SOFTWARE CONTRACTOR THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR HUMANITY AND YOU WILL SPEND EVERY SUNNY HOUR INSIDE DOING NOTHING IMPORTANT WHILE THE WORLD SPINS GONE FROM NATURE AND PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE ONLY MEETINGS AND REVIEWS AND SCREENS FULL OF GODLESS CODE

CAPITALISM STEALS SO MUCH MORE THAN YOUR FAIR WAGES IT STEALS YOUR TIME IT STEALS YOUR ENERGY IT SAPS THE BONE MARROW OUT OF YOUR SOUL AND LEAVES YOU A COMPLIANT HUSK
RIOT, MAKE THINGS, DO VIOLENCE, LOVE EACH OTHER, SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE HOLE I'M STUCK IN, ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THIS
very long, re: job gripe, all caps
I DONT FEEL LIKE I AM ALIVE
I KNOW I AM BUT I DONT FEEL IT
WHEN ORPHEUS WENT TO HADES TRYING TO FIND EURYDICE I IMAGINE THIS IS WHAT IT FELT LIKE. CAPITALISM IS WHAT IT FELT LIKE. THIS ENVIRONMENT IS INIMICAL TO LIFE. YOU ARE ALIVE BUT YOU'RE NOT REALLY ALIVE, YOU'RE JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS
YOUR HEART AND BRAIN AND MIND ALL WORK BUT IT'S NOT REALLY LIFE, IT'S NOT REALLY LIVING
I MUST SCREAM AND I HAVE A MOUTH BUT SCREAMING WOULD BE uncouth, and we wouldn't want unprofessional behavior in the workplace, would we?
PUNISHED FOR PANICKING ABOUT HOW ALL MY BOSSES ARE DOLLS AND ILLUSIONS AND CARDBOARD CUTOUTS AND NONE OF THEM CARE ABOUT ME BEYOND AS A WORKER
SO I SCREAM IN TEXT AND I SCREAM IN MY HEAD AND I FROWN AND I GO ON A WALK AND I CAN'T CRY EITHER BECAUSE WHAT IF I'M CRYING DURING A MEETING AND SOMEONE ASKS ME WHAT I THINK ABOUT SOMETHING, I CAN'T CRY WHILE I'M ANSWERING, I HAVE TO PRETEND TO BE A GOOD COG WITH ALL MY TEETH POINTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTIONS OR ELSE THEY'LL TELL ME I NEED TO TAKE PTO FOR MY MENTAL BREAKDOWN AND I ONLY HAVE SO MUCH PTO
HAHAHA HA
IT'S ALL ABOUT NUMBER GO UP NUMBER GO DOWN
I AM MY SALARY AND MY BILLS AND MY PTO AND MY CREDIT SCORE
I AM MY BIRTHDAY AND MY PAYDAY AND MY CARD'S EXPIRATION DATE AND THE DAY MY CAR NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED AGAIN
I AM MY PIN AND MY SSN AND MY EMPLOYEE ID NUMBER AND MY LICENSE PLATE NUMBER
SOMEDAY I WILL BE MY PENSION AND MY RETIREMENT FUND AND MY LIFE INSURANCE
AND THEN I WILL BE THE YEARS I WAS ALIVE ETCHED INTO A MISERABLE ROCK IN A MISERABLE FIELD
AND YOU'D BETTER NOT STOP TO BE HUMAN SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDST OF ALL THAT BECAUSE THAT'S UNPROFESSIONAL
AT BEST ITS A TRAGEDY AT WORST ITS A FIREABLE OFFENSE
AND GOD FORBID YOU GET FIRED OR ELSE YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EVEN PRETEND TO BE ALIVE ANYMORE
I DONT FEEL LIKE I AM ALIVE
I AM ALIVE IN THE WAY A SINGLE CELL IN MY BODY IS ALIVE. DISPLAYING MANY OF THE TRAPPINGS OF LIFE, BUT FORCED INTO DEPENDENCE ON A SYSTEM I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I'M A MUSCLE FIBER IN MOLOCH'S DICK. THAT'S ALL I'LL EVER BE
IT'S SO UNSPEAKABLY CRUEL
AND I CAN DO nothing.
by the time i realized how badly i was being abused i had fallen too far in line to get back out.
so i'm here now.

I AM NOT OKAY THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE
I WAS HAPPIER WHEN I HAD NO JOB AND WAS ANXIOUS ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY RENT THAN I AM IN THIS MISERABLE SHITHOLE THAT PAYS ME $85K/YR (STILL BELOW AVERAGE FOR MY SECTOR BTW)
