Shitty Coworkers

I am getting so frustrated with my job.  My teammates and coworkers are pretty much the biggest slackers imaginable.  How are they allowed to continue working, let alone receive promotions and raises.  These guys literally do ZERO work all day.  They sit and watch youtube videos, look at funny pictures, chat with their girlfriends, play non-work-related games.

One guy in particular barely even speaks all day, to anybody.  He  sits in his chair and contributes nothing except the occasional joke in chat.  From time to time he'll copy paste some info in an email response.  it's usually very obvious that he has no idea what he's actually talking about. yet he received a raise and promotion this quarter, just for showing up.

then this other guy, is the MASTER of all ass kissers.  He spends his day hopping from desk to desk, yucking it up with people.  one of those type of guys who will break into random people's conversations on a regular basis, even when he has no idea what the topic is.  he is the hugest brown noser.  he will laugh at any slightly humorous comment that management makes, just laugh his ass off and clap his hands etc.  Its too much to believe.  but he does almost NO actual work.  and yet he too continues to be promoted and given raises.

something is really wrong here.

I can haz moar money?

Right now Im thinking about trying to earn enough money to support my family.  I work 50+ hours a week.  If I lived in almost any other part of the world I would be rich making my current salary, but here in the Bay Area I am living check to check.  Maybe I should move the family to the midwest and buy one of these 6 bedroom houses on huge lots, I bet the mortgage would be less than our current rent.  Tired of waiting and hoping that something develops that will enable me to finally get ahead on bills and debts.   And never having that miracle source of money arrive.  My wife and I have done pretty well for ourselves considering.  We live in a nice house, our kid never wants for anything, we have stuff to entertain us, I should feel lucky for those things.  But Im still out of cash at the end of each pay period.
