It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

I think that's the best bet.. run your own small company, maybe it's even just you. Then you don't have to deal with this shit.

It's amazing how many coworkers will HATE you, if you do a good job and make them look bad because of it. Because they are lazy incompetent fucktards that would rather stroll the halls of the building all day with their coffee mug in hand, shooting the shit with the other lazy idiots. I swear, there are some folks that I almost always see in the hallway any time I go to use the restroom etc.. I seriously wonder if they do any actual work ever.

I've been that guy. You look around and realize you're the hardest worker in your department and it's easy to slip into resenting everybody and saying fuck it I'll screw around too. Fortunately I recognized how unhappy I was and left before it got this bad

My employer told me I couldn't go any further without a degree so I quit and went full time student using my GI bill. So I kind of cheated, that's not an option for most people.
While I was working there I learned how to avoid that resentment. Hard work isn't necessarily valuable work. Guys that are good at what they do don't have to work very hard at it, so you might be working harder because you aren't efficient. Not always the case, but it's important to be aware of it.
I also found myself in a tough spot because I wanted to work hard when I was on the clock but I didn't want to be a hero and make everybody else look lazy. I already knew that was not a wise move. So to reconcile those two conditions I did as much work as everybody else and used the extra time to sneak in some studying or do some brainstorming on my own personal projects. Probably not the most ethical solution but it was the only one I could come up with

Yep. I just accepted that working for somebody else sucks no matter how you slice it. I've been trying to figure out how to make my own money but I have no idea where to start

What's your area of expertise? What kind of skills are in your toolbox? If I run into something that suits you I can hit you up

It's not just academia. I've dealt with that everywhere. The trick is to work smart while putting forth an image of working hard and keep your bright ideas to yourself (let me explain).
I worked at a place that asked employees to make regular suggestions on how to make things run smarter and smoother. I had a ton of good ideas but I only contributed the absolute minimum. There was no incentive for contributing but I didn't want to stand out by not suggesting anything. All of my ideas were hits and made things better.
But I'm thinking hey, I want to be the boss some day. If I give all my ideas to the current boss, he'll claim them as his own. Then when I take his place I'll be competing with my past self for fresh new ideas. That doesn't make any sense. So I just shut up and keep it to myself

Yep. He's either stupid or was already on his way to a new job. Probably quit on the spot in the HR meeting and management changed the story to look good.

Ah yes the old "sit down". I've only been to one. I worked with a tattooed roastie that never showed up on time, didn't do her job, etc. I couldn't stand her and treated her like shit. Guess who got promoted when the manager left? Yep good ol roastie. I knew I was fucked. We had the "sit down" and they fired me for failing to meet some double standard that they made up. I filed for unemployment, they fought it, I proved to the adjudicator that they were full of shit and won. Felt like a gangster
