Most of my coworkers can barely make it through their own tasks without fucking something up

This is a problem with the company you work for, not your coworkers. I'm sure if they were paid more, were given more agency, and received better training, they'd be better elployees

Either that or the reason they purposefully hire meth-addled freaks is because they want desperate people who won't fight for any of those things.

Source: Friend who works in a warehouse and has coworkers who are obviously there to get a paycheck to afford their fix and then move on. It's the company culture. They could choose to hire better people, or mentor the people who could grow, they don't.

thats because they want addicts (of any variety, not just drugs) cuz their labor is cheap. its a form of exploitation

No, they're just idiots. Myself and others have had the same training and responsibilities and do fine. It's not that difficult of a job.

i shall surely reap the rewards of working at the same level as these irredeemably dumb people. then i will prove my point online or something

I'm several levels up from them. But I have to deal with the problems they cause constantly. I did start at their level though.

Sounds like you’re a duct-taper. That’s also indicative of a procedural issue with the company you work for. Shit sucks. Hyper competent duct taper usually ends up being a pretty thankless job as well. Never getting to actually fix underlying problems. Always putting out fires. And everyone just learns to expect it from you, from above and below. And it sounds like you’ve learned to expect it as well. I know all workplaces have their dysfunction, but I hope you can either come to find this one more tolerable or find a better environment soon.

Sounds like you're just an extra special boy. Surely that's the only explanation to literally all of your coworkers doing their job badly.

I didn't say all I said most. It's really probably not even most just a large enough portion of them that there's always some issue going on caused by their negligence.

Sounds like you're just a mostly special boy then. Surely that's the only explanation to literally most of your coworkers doing their job badly.
