At my limit and asking if patreon is worth it...
4 years ago
Yeah as the title of the Journal says... I'm at my limit of how much further bullshit I can take from my job.
Ever since my break down on April and been gone for three fucking weeks, it SHOULD have sent a fucking message to those shitty asshole bosses at the workplace that I work at that something is DEFINITELY not right. But like two weeks after I got back and placed in another group, the contract we have with Ikea is ending at October and now suddenly everyone is freaking out and the asshole manager and the second boss is putting WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE on all of us.
Now we're working way more than we usually do, taking jobs or certain places that i'm very, VERY sure doesn't says in the contract we are supposed to take care of that and now doing free fucking labor for both the company and Ikea.
Not to mention the manager and the second boss are becoming more and more pain in the ass and much more unreasonable with both their demands and unfair treatment of punishing certain people who is currently not giving a shit and causing too much of a mess... Instead it is now collective group punishment because their fucking reason is "We're not at children school anymore and you should take it like an adult~" yeah we're definitely not childrens anymore but that doesn't mean that WE ALL HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF ONE FUCKING ASSHOLE WHO IS LITERALLY GOING OUT OF HIS WAY TO BE A LAZY ASS AND NOT GIVING A SHIT BECAUSE HE'S RETIRING!!
Holy shit! it is so fucking bad now that we ALL are dreading to even come to work because we don't even get the chance to have some fucking privacy, even at break!
Hell trying to tell those two off doesn't work because the manager is an egotistic, arrogant asshole who think he's better than anyone else while the second boss is an old hag that raises her voice and shout at us whenever we try to protest the sheer amount of bullshit coming out of their mouths.
Oh and let's not even forget the so called "Mr-My-goal-is-to-help-you-find-a-good-job-outside-the-company~" boss of ours!
Yeah even HE is a manipulating fucking asshole who hides behind cheery, friendly attitude but whenever we need help or have something importat to talk to him about he always uses the excuse of "Sorry I can't talk, got a meeting soon" or "Sorry i''m about to go to a meeting" as every fucking time we NEED help or need to relay important stuff to him.
Not to mention when I told him i found a place I want to work as an intern he helped me out for a bit and told me he will inform me, good! Finally getting somewhere!
I'VE WAITED FOR OVER THREE FUCKING WEEKS AND STILL GOT NO ANSWERS, NOTHING!!
Every time I ask he always tell me that "I'm waiting for an answer" and not to mention he even informed me that there was no spare places around where I live that could security test me and that the military base where I want to jump over and work with the guys that I like don't take people over the summer... And it was also the same day he told me he still waiting for an answer to the place I want to work as an Intern.
At that point I became suspicious and asked around not just my coworker (Who is just as frustrated I am at what is happening at work) but my family as well and they all said the same thing: He never even called the place I want to work at as an intern and hope I get hired because the place is looking for over 50 or 60 people to hire or accept them as interns AND it shouldn't be fucking impossible to take WEEKS to give a call back when they're looking for that many people.
That Manipulating fuck has been LYING the entire fucking time! The entire time I have poured my heart out to him of the problems I have with the workplace and the people who are making it worse, but instead of helping me out and understanding my situation he's forcing me to continue to work at the place that is not only making me Ill but going against what the company stands for!!
At this point, I had enough.
I'm currently still looking for places where it would be easy to not only get there by bus but also reasonable for me to jump over as an intern and hope that I get employed by the company. But then here is another thing that I could try my hand and see if it actually works out because it's now obvious both the bosses and the company I work for are just manipulating us workers for their own benefit and not helping those who has difficult finding jobs.
My biggest question is; Is it worth creating a Patreon and try grow big from it?
I've seen other artists, teachers and various other people out there using it and actually made it their jobs of sort, because if I try that out and see if i grow big from it not only am I working even more on my artwork but i'll be learning and understanding how game developing engines work like RPG maker MV, Unity Engines and Pixel maker games as that means I would have even more free time to learn and develop.
So my question is, is it worth it? what do I need to learn and understand the pros and cons of having a patreon? what of the taxes that comes with Patreon and how do i manage that?
If there are any other artists or people that has a patreon and lives by the donation they get, please give me answers and help me out because i'm at my wits end with my job, the people and the downright manipulation they're currently doing to keep me there and not allowing me to grow as a worker.

Jesus, if i had known ages ago and just asked around my fellow coworkers who worked at the company longer than I had then I would have tried find another company to work for and not for bunch of manipulating shit heads.
Because apparently, this kind of crap has been going for YEARS.
right now my uncle is going to ask his boss to see if i can jump over and work as an intern, but also once my 4 weeks vacation is over i'm planning ahead to start study to get a car license and try find another job if it doesn't work before my vacation starts.
As for patreon, currently going with this with my aunt in law as she has more experience and knows a lot about taxes and that sort of thing.
such as just donator then next would be benefits like art rewards and then more.
Also, I don't really have too much to spare, but if you want I can share a few resources I use for coding stuff if you want
Coding? what sort of coding?
But hey, at LEAST i finally found the problem WHY everything is shitty and it all comes to our current new boss who fucked everything up to the point even the second boss (Who I found out is actually a manager, not a boss) is so tired of his shit have tried to get in contact with the headboss of his constant bullshit... Hopefully they can actually do something before things spiral out of control.
