Where did you go?

[foolsgoldParticipant 5654]

I pretty much left society about 10 years ago. I moved to a smaller town about an hour away. I took a job where I work nights and weekends in the same town I lived. I threw my tracfone away and got another one. I sold my main vehicle and got a different one. I didn’t see my kids as much but it was for the better at the time. I cut off all contact with people that I used to work with at my previous job. New address and cell number. Best thing I ever did.

A few months ago I moved into a new place closer to where I used to work. Closer to where my kids are. I’m now starting to run into people I used to see before I left society. The most common question is “where did you go?” I just keep it short by telling them I moved. They always tell me I look better or I’ve aged gracefully. Depends on how you look at it. Personally I don’t care.

Yesterday I ran into a former co worker from the previous job. Of course the question was the same. Where did you go? Why did you quit? He happened to be management at the time I quit. So I decided to ream him a new one. I almost never do that but I figured he had it coming and it was just the mood I was in. By the time I was done with him his face was as white as a sheet. I ended my rant by saying “and then you wonder why everybody hates you guys. How f~~~in’ stupid are you? I’m surprised you haven’t gotten a Darwin Award yet”. He just stood there in shock. He didn’t say a word.

I very rarely give my two cents like that but watching him was just priceless. What scares me to death is that I don’t think he’s smart enough to know that he is in the wrong. I almost never think about my previous job but yesterday was different. I’m sure he passed it on to all my former co workers. Makes me smile. Being stupid is kind of like being dead. When you’re dead everybody knows it but you. Same with being stupid.

If he’s a typical management asshole he’ll either say nothing or hamster-wheel it into something that doesn’t make him look bad.

WHY do you care what he thinks?

If he’s that stupid he could have left the interaction thinking that YOU are the one with the problem, and he just went on with his day.

What does it really matter if he shared your interaction with “co-workers” that you haven’t seen in 10 years and don’t give a f~~~ about??

Hopefully, it helped ya drop it once and for all, and finally just walk away….

I’d give my former “Manager “ a piece of my mind. Some snakes deserve it.

[foolsgoldParticipant 5654]

I never thought about the dude until I saw him yesterday. I would have never recognized him if he didn’t say anything. He appeared to be about 40 lbs heavier give or take. I guess a lot can happen in 10 years. We all know that. I was actually surprised he remembered me.

Wait. A MGTOW man who is Forgotten? Maybe some of you think you are “Ghosting” really well. I have news for you. Most of you think you are doing a great job. But alas, it’s the people that try to be noticed that are the ones that everyone forgets about.

Like it or not, MGTOW MEN stick out to not only women, but other men. You went your own way instead of being the heard. This is what you look like to them.

Most people think that Mgtow are the cool kids. Actually, MGTOW ARE the ones filming and not giving a f~~~ what others do.

You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home

Without having any clue of what issues you had with this previously employer, I can’t agree or disagree with your rant to the former manager.

But I would say that management often has no clue about any morality or personnel issues going on in their organizations. They are partly too busy looking up at management above them, their ego keeps them from thinking there could be flaws, or they created an environment where subordinates don’t feel like talking to them is of any use. My place of business is a combination of all 3. The guy 3 levels above me is clearly more into his career than anything else. He’s known to disregard the views of others when they don’t line up with his own. And the latter has caused everyone to give up on talking to him about issues. He really only cares if HR gets involved.

Ok. Then do it.

Nice. Is my next move. Not that anyone who I associate with now would be that surprised.

This thread has me thinking about my own life.
To keep it broad I grew up in mountains but where there was little money. I wanted out so after several years of scraping by I managed to educate myself and away I went. Cutting a long story short I met my wife to be had two kids and got divorced almost straight after. No I live in a town nearby the kids mother so I can have them half the time. I work a job that pays well but isn’t really satisfying me in the way I hoped.

I have started longing for the mountains again. Where I would spend hours outdoors and was fit as f~~~. Truth is I feel like a wage slave these days but for what? I am not a material minded man. I want for nothing. Not that I have much. I don’t want it anyway. The only reason I keep doing what I am doing is for my son and daughter. It would break them now if I wasn’t here.
They want me. Not their mother. And at some point they will be with me permantly. She keep threatening courts but I manage to pacify her with payments she doesn’t need.

Beware the fury of the patient man. I play the long game. Like super long chess. I digress.

I can’t answer to ‘where did I go’ yet. But if I do go it will be home.

I hear you Doc. I have seen mountain homes that will be affordable to me (cash) in ten years. Walking, skiing and chopping wood. Fresh air. There are few healthier lifestyles. A place where I can live out the rest of my days in nature. Peace, tranquillity.

I’m comfortable now but I honestly find city life so soulless. No matter what you’re doing it’s a grind. So I’m gonna spend those ten years living rurally. Work menial jobs if necessary.

Though I don’t have kids and the joys they can bring, I appreciate I’m lucky to not be trapped by child support payments.

[DocParticipant]

That’s my thinking MGTaoist.
I dream of a remote home away from people and somewhere I can take the kids out to learn about nature etc. I don’t know if I will ever get there. But it’s something to aspire to. Funny how the things I once aspired to and then achieved took me away from what I now aspire to.

I believe people yearn to ‘return to the source’ as they age. Yes it’s funny, I’ve done the exact same. But I was a different person then. Not really myself. I realised the other day that for most of my life I’d never thought about what I alone want. It was always filtered through what other people would approve of – current woman, family, future women. But it’s different now, the filter is gone. And if you aspire to it, you will likely get it.

[DocParticipant]

I think I did the same. I bought into the belief that I had to be a part of society. Funny thing is for many years I hated society. But I ended up hating scraping by so educated myself. I have never really earened enough to bail with healthy pot of cash. But as I have aged I realised I am no fan of materialism. I have never been. So returning to source would be fairly easy. The only issue is with the kids being so young they can’t voice what they want clearly enough. But they are getting there. Then maybe the three of us can retreat. I have to be mindful that when they grow up they might want to do their own thing so I need a balance.

Actually I correct myself – I do earn enough but spend almost all of it running g a home for my kids. If I was alone I would be putting thousands away. I give my ex more than I should somshe doesn’t threaten courts again.
It’s crzy when I think about it. F~~~.

Grrr… sorry to hear you still have that grey cloud following around but as you may know, this too shall pass.
