yea not sure I agree with the whole 'forget about it when you clock out' stuff, at least on my side when those thoughts come up it's more 'I just think maybe working with my hands and seeing tangible progress in my job even as basic as 'shelf was empty, I fill shelf, good' would be more satisfying than editing papers and poo poo' which I 100% acknowledge is monkey brain grass is greener poo poo.

n8r posted:To think people that work at Costco don’t think about their jobs or how it effects their self worth is kinda arrogant. People who work all kinda of jobs have similar issues even if they aren’t ‘purely intellectual’. Try getting over yourself. Yeah, I'll admit I don't know what these jobs are like. But that's kind of the problem since the appeal for these jobs that I feel are likely based on uninformed views. I imagine Wiger is suffering from similar delusions.

In my 20's I worked in grocery stores, warehouses, assembly, and manufacturing and now I work at a computer at home editing and reading all day. You can absolutely treat those jobs as a clock in and clock out don't think about it outside of work thing at first, but they always involve working with other people and relying on each other. The relationships aspect always builds up, and that changes how you think about any job. I do miss how physical those jobs were since it was a lot easier to stay in good shape.

Your coworker being a dumbass or an rear end in a top hat is going to get to you eventually and you’re going to think about it outside of working hours. The only job I’ve had that I can think of where that didn’t really happen was when I worked in the stacks in college shelving and shifting books. Man that job ruled.

There are professional football players, pilots, and surgeons treating their job as clock in clock out. Just because you’re an upper middle class white person it doesn’t mean you have to care about your job.

drainpipe posted:As someone whose work is purely intellectual, I've had similar thoughts to Wiger. There is an allure to a job that's just a job, where you can forget about it as soon as you clock out, and where your reputation and self worth is not dependent on how well you perform your job. I've done both and it's genuinely a great feeling to look at something physical and be like "I did that." It's something you don't really get with like, an office job.

mennoknight posted:I 100% get it. I miss working at a hot tub factory when I'm knee deep in meetings and scheduling and budgeting. then I remember that once I almost dropped a skid full of covers weighing 800 pounds on a guys head and I think, yeah, I belong behind this desk Yeah there are some pluses to retail over offices. Most customers are nice and interesting to talk to, and you get to interact with a much larger coworker group than an office. Got paid for OT. Past that yeah no way I’d want to go back. Even little stuff like if I need to use the bathroom or get a snack I can walk away from my desk and no one bats an eye, no need to ask supervisor permission or feel like I’m abandoning a cashier. If something comes up an I’m late to work just have to shoot a quick email to coworkers and it’s not a disciplinary issue. As I said before Costco does treat workers well but it’s nothing to romanticize and you aren’t sampling all the products. Wiger could try folding stacks of clothes until 11pm or pushing carts when it’s above 90 for eight hours without being able to listen to his iPhone, that’s the Costco working experience.

I hated working in grocery stores and warehouses and I still do. Lots of little things in jobs like that, like how management will frequently treat all the employees like braindead children and prevent them from doing things that might harm "productivity" like listening to music or podcasts during a repetitive nighttime stocking job in a closed store. I've only had one job in my life where I didn't have to move tons of boxes of poo poo and constantly dig around a bunch of shelves. I definitely enjoyed not having to do those things, even though the job was dull and repetitive.

I never got that feeling from retail. You straighten up all the lightbulb boxes on the shelves and in an hour they’re all messed up again. It felt sisyphean.

This pisses me off to no end. So many jobs would be tolerable with podcasts but every manager will probably power trip over headphones

anyone who romanticizes a shelf stocking job would do well to listen to a street fight call in show and hear one of any number of lovely job stories to disabuse them of that notion wiger included

I feel like Nick was just using a Costco job as an example of "opposite of what I'm doing right now" rather than the exact lane he wants his life to take. It's pretty clear that he's burning out on the entertainment industry as a whole - Mike going on a rant about how his funny friends deserving work and how he loves Nick being the kicker to this. He's maybe looking for alternatives, and the Costco thing is on-brand with the Doughboys this year. That being said, this was a top-10, maybe top-5 episode for me. I was tearing up at the messages at the beginning, and it's wild more goons aren't talking about Nick on a cross sucking his own dick.

I've been re-watching LOVE on Netflix and been really delighted with Mitch and all the LA comedy scene folks popping up. I watched it when it aired, before I got into the podcast or any comedy podcasts, and I just really hated Randy. Now, I'm delighted by his sad crying. Or how he's introduced into the main plot with a mention of him going to two fast food restaurants to create a super meal. It's not a perfect show (Jesus christ app "culture" of the mid teens was really omnipresent and unbearable, like stop talking about loving Uber, they're gonna manipulate the electorate in a few years you dingdongs!!) but I'm genuinely surprised by all the performances. Like, these are the same guys who venerate the Wendy's Spicy Chicken and watch Garfield holiday specials, but they're giving actual dramatic performances.

LOVE is a show where I'm down with every side character (save apatow's daughter's character) but never could give much of a poo poo about the main arc. And when they did one of those scenes where they're doing improv acoustic songs, noooope.

Poor Mitch. Here he was, co-starring in a fun big budget action movie with a big movie star and instead it’s going to end up on Netflix, where it will trend on Twitter for 6 hours before becoming completely lost in our cultural consciousness like 95% of Netflix movies/TV shows these days.
