If you want a vision of the future, imagine a wage slave typing: "I hate my job. I hate my job. I hate my job," on a keyboard, for ever. That's what a Manhattan court typist is accused of doing, having been fired from his post two years ago, after jeopardizing upwards of 30 trials, according to the New York Post. Many of the court transcripts were "complete gibberish" as the stenographer was allegedly suffering the effects of alcohol abuse, but the one that has caught public attention contains the phrase "I hate my job" over and over again.
We've collectively been around the professional block many times. What's the most spectacular flameout you've seen?

Just like an assembly line worker, people get stuck in jobs where they feel they do the same damn thing day after day.
And you begin to hate it. and frequently you have no way out. Noone will hire you to do anything else. not even if you have background - as HR wants to keep you in the same damn job as last listed on your resume. and after enough time you start to hate yourself too. slack off on the job. start posting stuff on reddit, and soylent news. just going through the motions and waiting for death, or some kind of zombie outbreak.
