Declined a $80k job offer

>tldr; I’m a lazy fag who wants to be mediocre forever

>accept job offer
>continue to search for better job
>if employer is a cunt, ignore them. Let them fire you and collect unemploymentbux
>literally free money for pretending to work for a few weeks
Ur dumb op

Based, why is a employer being pushy when there are so many people jobless? Something sounds fishy

>>employer called me back telling me I was a fucking idiot for rejecting it and that I will never get a job again
Do you really want to work under someone like this? No? You'll be fine. It's difficult to quantify the gut response with logic, but the gut response holds your best interest at heart and generally leads you to the right answer.

good goyim

What’s wrong with being mediocre? I have a life outside of my day job.

>telling me I was a fucking idiot for rejecting it and that I will never get a job again
You sound like someone who never actually had a job

until you lose that day job and have no money to pay for shit

80 hours a week at 80k means you're just working two 40k jobs. You did the right thing.

80 hour weeks with TWO YEAR non compete?

You did good. Fuck the jews. Dump all your savings into CKB and join us in the Asian elite brothels in 2021.

>not saving and overworking yourself
Well I’m sorry about your finances buddy. Hope it works out for you.

I wouldn't take an 80k job in a high stress environment either. 80hour weeks? fuck that guy. when you have marketable skills, you don't need to sell yourself short.

>24 month non-compete.

hahah tell them to fuck off. they will never get good People like that.

well done user

yeah, def push back on bad hiring practices. companies that think they can have their pick and be shitty at the same time deserve to go under.

idk where u are but in the UK non-competes are not enforceable unless they are reasonable

>employer called me back telling me I was a fucking idiot for rejecting it and that I will never get a job again
sounds like you did the right thing user

>employer called me back telling me I was a fucking idiot for rejecting it and that I will never get a job again

if this actually happened (which I doubt) I don't see how you could even consider regretting this. he's either a complete fucking asshole by default (=you don't want to work there) or he's really on edge because they're in deep shit (=you don't want to work there)

I make 50k at 40 hours a week. You'd just be better off working two jobs in that situation if you want 80k, fuck that slavedriving shit. Also the hiring manager sounds like a seething loser.

>Being forced to work so much your hourly pay is basically just above minimum wage.
Wagies love the abuse

Did they demand anything other than time?

>employer called me back telling me I was a fucking idiot for rejecting it and that I will never get a job again

If this part actually happened(which I doubt) then you dodged a bullet.

If you actually turned down 80k to work from home indefinitely during a recession without actual bullshit happening, then you are a true moron.

if he comes back crying in a week or 2 for not finding the right skilled guy like you, demand 100k at least to show who's the alpha

>ignoring the long-term career benefits
Short term thinking is why neets and the lazy remain mediocre and poor forever

Gullible insect people like you are why salaries aren't going up. You take whatever piece of shit these corporations hand you instead of finding a competitive offer.

>that I will never get a job again
Isn't this a threat? Sue him.

Yeah do this

>a 24 month non-compete.
say you will sign one for as long as there you've worked there start with 1 month - 1 month then 3 month - 3 month etc. upto the runway money they've given you... which is none. I doubt it is enforceable to the degree they write it out to be but just check.

Probably dodged a bullet, if you have to work 80 hours a week in an infra job even in this situation the company's IT leadership is dogshit

non-competes are pretty hard to prosecute these days unless you quit and open a business the next day using their unique processes.

Ya u guud

10/10 bait, but Yas Forums LOVES bait
>how badly did I fuck up?
badly, you should have taken the job & looked for another one.

The fact your employer was so pushy and that mad about you not accepting it leads me to believe he's struggling to fill a very important gap, so you probably aren't the only one to reject it.

Two year non-compete with 80 hour weeks, weekend working and rarely allowed vacations for $80k? I'd pass too.

user in my experience 90% of a bad job is a bad boss. Even when I was doing shit tier jobs just to help pay through college, a good boss makes a bad job tolerable. A bad boss can make a great job into a nightmare that you have to quit from to escape.

If you rejected the offer politely and he reacted that way then it sounds like you dodged a bullet. It's likely he is in some kind of situation where he really needed to hire someone. But that's his problem, not yours.

Good managers are shit umbrellas, bad ones are shit funnels. This is especially true in the corporate world where the org tree is much larger.

Good luck with your job search.

you did good
follow your instinct

yeah, fuck that.
ya did good

thread

You think making 80k as an infra it guy in bongland is possible?

80 hour weeks for a engineering job sitting on your ass aint worth it for only 80k.

Youd make that much working at almost any job if you worked 80 hours per week

Second this

Non-competes are enforcable in the USA, he wouldn't be able to "find" a new job for 24 months.

what fucking slavery is this?

>24 Month noncompete

If he signed he literally couldn't take another job in the same area for 2 years, and his boss would know that and hold it over him.

+ the pay was dogshit for those hours at that skill level and a company with that long of a noncompete has a low turnover so low mobility.

OP made the right choice.

>bad vibes
Trust your instincts, every time I've felt this before accepting a job it ended up badly for me.

80 hrs x 52 weeks = 4160 hrs worked
80,000 ÷ 4160 = 19.2 an hour

Nah.

You shouldn't accept shit less than 25/hr. The 80k ticker is to sucker ppl in to work for pennies. Good job fren.

there is literally nothing wrong with living an average life

you suck at math

Good decision

How? Do it differently and educate me then.
