Almost half of Gen Z and millennials would rather be unemployed than unhappy in a job, new research

[Buddy]

I spent the weekend completely revising my resume and cover letter for this job a few weekends ago... Putting the last touches on it on my way into work that Monday. By the time I got to lunch the listing was CLOSED fukk whoever they're talking about

I can understand to a degree.

It's one thing if you have kids to support or your job is the only thing keeping you off the street, but otherwise there's no great reason to spend your life at a miserable job.

fukk work….the first movement that puts up a fight against this bullshyt system imma be supporting to the max

 

[Family Man]

That kind of thing is already happening here.

A (White) dude I went to school with has a job where he only works 2 days a week.
That’s the best he can get at the moment because he has a condition with meds that he’s adjusting to.

He and his family live in his parents’ first house that’s been paid off.
They have two other houses.

But black Gen Z don't have a pot to piss in but want to follow behind these lazy young r/antiwork CACs that have their paid off familial house and inheritance from their boomer grandparents in the stash.

I mean, worker unions kept the shareholders and execs in check. Back in the day, the average CEO only made 50 times amount of the average worker. Today, its nearly 1000 times the amount.

Its greed and transfer of wealth. Bottom line.

this is 100% true. Started in the 80s when regulations got lessened and it was the beginning of CEO/Exec pay getting completely out of hand. An Exec making 1000x the amount of the average worker is ridiculous. No matter how good of an idea you have, it don't mean shyt if it can't be put into fruition.

The demise of America is becoming more and more apparent by each passing the day

I mean the American media has been a complete joke for decades now, the government has been openly controlled by private corporations, and everybody knows it, but does nothing about it

The dollar is literally collapsing right before our eyes, I mean a bag cheetos is 5 dollars and people wanna blame gas prices on Russia like we live in Europe

Everything is more expensive because the dollar is worth less, and the US constantly threatening another countries with dollar has backfired, and this Ukraine situation is merely speeding up a process that was going to happen anyway when the dollar will no longer be the world's reserve currency because it cannot be trusted, because whenever they feel like the United States can freeze you dollars and sieze them.

Everything sold in the United States in made in China damn near, America is a nation of consumers who produce nothing, the pandemic showed that 90 percent of jobs in America are useless, and merely serve to fuel an economy that does not exist merely an illusion

Americans are broke except for the 1 percent, the purchasing power of Americans came from cheap credit, not productivity

Retailers will move on from American consumers, because Americans just do not have the money to spend anymore, as business it only make to cater to customers who getting richer not poorer so they will search for who the new consumers will be over seas

Pure uncut truth, esp the bolded. completely unsustainable.

Where will you get money? Do you plan to hunt for your food?

Preach.

But many live with mom/grandparents who aren't forcing a lot of cats to get jobs to live on their own either.


My thing is, I do applaud the Gen Z and Millenial Brehs for not taking bullshyt jobs unless the employer wants to up the ante and pay. And please believe they are being forced to step it up. Sad part is they STILL can't find workers.


As long as you can take care of yourself,

don't work, don't eat

this was true 1000 years ago, still true now.

Gravy train can't last forever.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Sidenote, Panhandlers need to get ALL THE WAY THE fukk OUTTA MY FACE NOWADAYS.

All these places hiring and you still wanna panhandle?

And I REALLY wanna throw a brick at a mufukka head when I see crehs doing this shyt.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Pipe dream. This country's citizens don't have it in them to buck the system. If that was the case, it would've happened in the 80s when Reagan fukked blue collar workers. And this country can't come together to stop the spread of a disease. You honestly think they'd come together to rise against the machine? This country has gotten comfortable and doesn't give a fukk who starves. And no amount of organized violence will halt it, especially if you're not white. They stand to lose the most out of this

Preach! Forgot the exact policy that caused the shyt, but the mentality of mufukkaz who have deemed unions as "bad" is ridiculous when they themselves have directly benefited off of it (sounds a lot like those who benefitted off the Civil Rights Act but wanna shyt on nikkaz ). After Reagan pulled that stunt, CEO/Exec pay got beyond ridiculous.

Profit sharing with employees? fukk all that, we letting rich investors eat now.

Pension? Take this 401k instead

Minimum wage not rising along with the rate of inflation should be law.

My homie took a $20k paycut to work for the VA. Said his workload is a fraction of what it use to be. I been preaching to him for years stop chasing every dollar. I think he finally has seen the big picture. All that money don't mean shyt when you constantly dreading work and unhappy. People didn't use to put value on happiness and men are expected to sacrifice for the family.

The old boomers in my family always talking bout get your education so you can get a good JOB. That shyt aint never make sense to me, why not bet on self and do things your way. I work wayyyyyyy more hours as an entrepreneur than I did working a job but I'm also substantially happier.

 

[Rekkapryde]

That’s why it’s best to take advantage NOW! Jobs are relaxing requirements because they can’t find people. I’d hate for people to miss out and let them go back to normal when these people have to start working again.

Yup. Jump on this shyt.

 

[Mr swag]

it's easy to have this attitude if ur living with your parents and have no responsibilities.

when u got kids and people that depend on you, u cannot adhere to this entitled mindset.

that is the thing. People are not having kids or buying a place because they are broke.

 

[Rekkapryde]

History repeats itself and there will be huge crisis and more wars in the future. You think in other countries every job pays you well? LOL. It's not easy making money, but you have to. Be smart and look for ways to earn extra money, if you sit and wait someone to give you more money it ain't gonna happen. Majority of the world have shyt jobs.

The youngest generations barely have any values they wanna live for. Many young generation people can't even tell what kind of career they wanna have. That's how you get indians or chinese taking over the jobs cause they lived in their shythole countries and know they are doomed without a steady income. Don't like your job? Go find one that suits you, or enjoy immigrants taking over the jobs and having more rights than you, cause they work and you stay unemployed looking for excuses.

Nope, let cats learn the hard way. No one is saying you gotta take shytty jobs for shytty pay. Those days are over IMO and that is GREAT. But not working AT ALL is some goofy shyt.

As long as you can take care of yourself tho
