The only thing worse than going to work is being unemployed.
Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I've been lucky and found what I love to do in my 20s. Outside of one shit boss I've had a great time being employed. Nearly 50 now so a pretty good run.
Man you are old. I am barely 49. Still a long way to 50.
I have almost figured out what I want to do when I grow up. Right now being self-employed is working out.
I figured out what I want to do when I grow up a long time ago. I just haven't figured out how to get paid for it.
🤣
And love it!
Only 35 more years to go!
🤞
Congratulations. All the best.
Thank you!
Damn, only eight weeks? I see that the job market is recovering. When I lost my job in November 2024, it took until May 2025 to find employment again!
A year here. AI fucked up so much of what was a flawed but straightforward process.
Took me 6 months to find a job after i got laid off recently. Job market is terrible right now.
A friend has been unemployed for 10 months, I think I just got lucky.
Same-ish, going on 9 months this June. ;-;
Might be that OP is super awesome or just lucky. I'm no sort of authority, but all the layoff headlines I'm seeing lately make things seem so dire.
Congratulations dude! Also, fuck these people. They don't know what it's like to be unemployed. Have a great career ahead!
Lol will do!
You're an inspiration to me. I've been unemployed for three and a half months now. I swear some people look at inspirational stories and whine more.
They do for sure, and I don't want to take that from them. It's not my reaction. Mine is "fuck yeah!"
And I wish you the best of luck! It sucks out there.
congratz! was laid off yesterday. Granted, the job was a gamble on my side, but the amount of rejection, that blew into my face from day one (it was a new Position not previously existing in the company) was beyond compare. Still getting to Grips with it, honestly 😢
congrats. I hope at the same or better wages.
Not quite double.
And thank you!
holy moley I hope this comes to us all. need about that to get back on track with where inflation has taken us.
Yo we got a bourgeois class growing here on lemmy!
🎉🎉🎉
(After I looked up the word)
Hurray!
Please keep posting artwork
Thank you and I will! Just probably not as often. Back to 2 to 3 a week instead of 7+.
Hey, congratulations man! May it be everything you hope it is in a job.
My condolences
Disagree, I love what I do!
Congratulations on finding something. The job market is scary right now.
Thank you, and yes it is!
When I lost my job even with a generous exit package we cut expenses to the bone just in case. I accepted the offer right before Fan Expo (comic con) this weekend so we're splurging a bit to celebrate!
Already met Karl Urban, today Orlando Bloom and all four Hobbits!
Congratulations, my dull brother! May us all find something soon!
Hell yeah!! And thank you!
