the main problem regarding working, as i see it

[Altruist]

if you have any morality, there are only 3 ways to keep your conscience clean:
1. working alone. completely alone. being a one-man team. - the hardest option, but the only one that's favoured by statistics in the context of the thread
2. being a business/company owner and only hiring people that happen to be on the same page with you regarding the moral compass and ethics - somewhat easier on paper, but much harder to accomplish in reality/statistically
3. hoping you end up in a team/company whose members share your beliefs, mindset, morality, worldview - statistically extremely unlikely

it's all rosy when you start working at a law firm consisting of your friends and acquaintances you thought were just as moral/ethical and competent as you are. the problem arises a year or two later (you start having second thoughts within weeks, but it takes more time for you to realize those aren't gonna go away, but just become more intense and frequent), when you realize your colleagues:
- are dumber than you (not a sin/something to judge people for "per se", ofc), while refusing to admit it to themselves and rationalizingly (this should be a word in english) yapping about all kinds of "reasons" that "justify" their failures, from "the judges/people hate me because i'm successful" (the most vomit inducing one if you ask me) to "i'm extremely unlucky" and "i can't believe no one recognizes my greatness" (while 99% of their efforts are focused on basically scamming people, which is the behavior everyone with half a brain can sense)
- are greedier and more materialistic than you
- have 0 problems with, without any indication of them possessing self-awareness, saying stuff like "i'm not just indifferent to corruption, i actually believe thieves and scammers should be rewarded, specially if they work in governmental agencies/institutions"
- are, without any second thoughts, trying to squeeze 3 EUR more out of literal peasants and people in retirement with minimal pensions, all while having like 450k EUR on their bank accounts, 20+ real estate properties and 10 other sources of income (acquired by previous immoral behavior)

at this point, my only dilemma is between these options:
1. being (trying to be, more precisely) diplomatic and peacefully, without any raised tones, telling them i'm out and intend to go on on my own/at a different firm (much less likely, because i could make money by just putting a table with my name in front of an office)
2. stopping being an invertebrate and telling them how disgusting they are, reporting them for all the illegal or borderline illegal diarrhea inducing stuff they've done to all institutions from the police to tax administration, and proceeding by nuking their reputation in the eyes of every person within the profession, all just because they made me sick to my stomach

i know retards on this forum will interpret this as the underlying reason of my recent (effortless) sadistic humiliation of @Honest and @Munificent, but i just thought: why not share this here when it's already a hot topic and this has been bothering me for a while

tldr: if you ever, for any reason, start thinking (or already think) lawyers are kings of scum, and then follow it up by thinking you are probably just jealous of their social and financial status, cross the latter thought out

it's no different in shitty blue collar jobs, either. it's just way more petty and pathetic. shit like stealing tools and copper piping, trying to hide asbestos in a skip amongst other non-toxic rubbish

doesn't matter if you're a part of high society or living on a plantation with white trash. people's idiosyncrasies eventually become unbearable, and you eventually start seeing them as the two faced dogs they are

questions like why would the plantation hag steal my bathroom scale, and why did doctors on 300k salaries think it was prudent to smear some retarded cripples medical records? it willl plague me for the end of time

ultimately, you will find the same amount of morals/ethics in a hospital emergency room and a law firm as you will on skid row. and that's a sad reality

maybe magnifat was onto something with his nature walking/monk maxing/whatever he's doing

yeah, i wasn't trying to imply this is exclusive to "higher tier" jobs, i was just sharing my direct experience. i could get "colleagues" i m talking about jailed by tuesday. that's really, really sad.

if anything, that approach makes you safe from vomit-inducing experiences i described in the op

yeah that's tragic. even slipping jimmy had morals, your colleagues sound borderline sadistic

i cant even blame magnifat tbh. the world is full of vultures, maybe nobody is going to physically beat mags, but i could see a gentle soul like him killing himself after having to endure 3 straight years of "wagie" bullshit office drama/shit talking/bullying

they aren't sadists. it takes some intelligence to be sadistic in this context. they are just the epitome of what magnifique is describing. whether he is doing that to cope or not is irrelevant in this specific context.

at the same time, those same colleagues of mine are crying about their life being hard and about them being too good at their job for others not to recognize their greatness. that's not sadism, but generic low iq. hanlon's razor 1/1.

yeah. idk, i was always under the impression you had to be semi smart to be get a degree, white collar job, have a career etc. it's kind of just dawning on me now that's most people, and pedestalizing people with like 8 more IQ points than me is retarded

i think if i had anymore self esteem i would probably go ER. i'm no more of a shit brained, amoral subhuman than the troglodytes who hand me my nazzypam prescription(have been off it for over a month now, feels the same) and look at me like i'm dirt

correct

Good to see ur spending ur day off well

[Altruist]

how do i control myself? 

- on one hand, my morals (i was raised to not be a vomit-inducing piece of shit, unfortunately) are urging me to report the abominations i'm talking about in the op and get them arrested by tuesday (18.11. is the national holiday here), which would be followed by their disbarring and them being sentenced to 5+ years of prison,
- on the other hand (in my mind, the losing option at this point, and by a wide margin), i'm thinking just diplomatically checking out from any communication with those people, since it would be much less stressful and require much less efort

[Altruist]

just couldn't help myself/go against my morals.

initiated a whatsapp conversation with 2 of them, knowing what their midwit responses would be, and then told them "i'm sorry, but i'm filing criminal reports to the police first thing on tuesday". their responses to that were equally predictable: complete silence for half an hour followed by "good luck trying to prove it" tier messages. little do they know that i have had bulletproof evidence sufficient to jail them for months now, of course. just lol.
