I'm a network engineer who works for an evil corporation. It was a huge moral conflict for me to take this job, but I just run their network. Meh.

On this tip, I bake in a bakery. Pay is low, but it is usually easy, rewarding work. Cried in the bathroom today though.

I am a prep cook at a restaurant. Other than the pay is shit, hours are too early, and I'm doing stuff that's mind numbing boring at times, I love it.

Those feels. I was a barista for nearly a decade. Became manager of the store, and hated being caught between the owners and the other employees.PeteeBee wrote:Barista. Managed a coffee shop up until a week ago, but can't live with paying my whole team what the corporation mandates, among other things, but that was the issue that really pushed me over the line. Back in school now to find a new something or other.

Evil is banal. At least the most real bits of it...being a supervillian is just rad. So much more fun to play villains.
