That you will keep the same job until retirement?

This is not a troll thread.

Let's say you're a black man who's between 25-35 right now. Or even 40.

3How likely is it that you will keep this "job" until retirement? I can tell, a lot of you do think you'll still be working at this same place until retirement, but you might not even be there in 3 years. And unless you know how to create your own job, you'll be applying a bunch of places hoping you get a call back from some cac named Craig or Megan.

How many black men have been unexpectedly laid off, i mean hardworking brehs who didn't deserve it. Is it that brehs nowadays think it can't happen to them?....Yeah well, those other brehs probably thought the same thing until it did. Then they had to apply everywhere hoping they find a new one, because bills gotta be paid. What if it takes 3 months? 6? There's less stability when white bosses and managers are in control of YOUR paycheck.

As a black man, you don't want to be in a position where you're too dependent on Mr. Charlie. U also don't want to be in a position where you're too dependent on a bytch. Even if you don't work for yourself now, you need to at least know how, JUST IN CASE. Plus there is a GREAT feeling of knowing that some white guy in a suit cannot fire you or lay you off.

Lay offs happen, businesses close, etc.
Even if by chance you do keep the same "good job" until retirement, look around. The few black men who do actually stay at the same job until retirement get promoted the least. They are underpaid compared to their nonblack counterparts. I used to work in Corporate, I know. The bosses and upper management are white men, with 1 or 2 "minorities" sprinkled in. How far up the ranks do you really think you're going to get, even if you manage to stay there until retirement?That 40 years you put in at their business, you can spend working for yourself, or with other black men.

There's a lot of noise on social media about "blackboyjoy" that's all well and good but what about doing for self. Employing ourselves, or at least learning how. You don't have to quit your job to at least learn how. How many brehs on here know how to create their own job if they had to tomorrow?There are a lot of different ways to employ yourself. I think a lot of brehs hear "self employed" and automatically think of a store or selling drugs or some shyt. This is the technological era.

We're to a point where instead of complaining about the "jobs" the white man gives us (or won't give us), the raises the white man won't give us, etc we need to realize that we can create our own jobs. This place has turned into a "cac this, cac that" wasteland and that sounds good but you'd better learn to feed yourself without White Daddy especially while you're still young.

If you're more interested in the rapper Future than your actual future, this isn't for you, you're too far gone. You'll realize it 30 years from now.

Thats top secret information
@Blackout once told me that white racists will take my 12 year job away from me(even tho he doesnt even know what i do). He also said that the military will not give me my pension in a few years. Blackout is the perfect person to ask this question because he's the expert on wether or not a Blackperson will keep their job until retirement. We should ask him.

I'm not saying everyone on here will lose their job before retirement, i'm saying that black men in our 20s-30s should at least know how to employ ourselves just in case it happens.

It's better to be prepared than to blindly believe that cacs will always have a "job" lined up for you (not you specifically, i'm saying in general).

If these employers and upper management were mostly black instead white/nonblack, then i wouldn't be saying this. Black men need to stop being so prideful, it's like it's a blow to the ego for black men on here to admit that these employers ARE white, the upper management is mostly WHITE, etc. Being 100% dependent on on them for employment is not wise. It's good to actually learn how to create your own paycheck just in case the cacs who run the "company" decide to lay a black man off. Many brehs don't expect it and then don't even know how to create their own paycheck, so thye have to start all over again trying to find a new "job" aka have to beg crackers for a new job just he can eat and pay his bills

Anyone can lose a job, but stats show that black men are disproportionately more affected by this. We are more likely to be let go than other races of men. i shouldn't have to state this but apparently a lot of black men don't even know this.

And if you're a military vet, you're the exception, not the rule. Most brehs are not going into the military like that, esp the ones my age (27). Way too many black men of my generation are working in the low positions, hoping they'll become a manager, even though almost all their managers are white. Cacs don't treat black men the same. And we need more black lawyers, plumbers, engineers, accountants, landlords, shyt even food trucks. If black men really want to make progress, most need to get rid of the mentality that we can't employ ourselves. We need to at least LEARN to be self sufficient just in case. And to stop being so prideful, Arabs, Asians and Latinos aren't too proud to employ themselves, even in our communities.

Your concern is the threat racist whites are to you and less on what i will do to prevent myself from becoming their viictim

But yeah...i'm not talking about military brehs. Most brehs of my generation (i'm 27) aren't going in the military like that anymore. But many are working wack jobs for cac employers and most of the upper management are cacs etc.

My overall point was that....black american men, while you're still young (or even if you're middle aged), at least LEARN how to create your own jobs, just in case. You don't know how long that "job" working under cacs is going to last. There is literally no way to know for sure. And considering that black men are disproportionately laid off/fired more often than other races of men, that is even more reason to learn how to employ yourself. This is coming from an EDUCATED black man too.

Why would you NOT want to learn how to create jobs? That doesn't mean you have to quit the job you're at to learn. You can learn while you're still working there. The point is black men need to learn to be more prepared and know that you CAN be self employed. You don't need "Boss Man" to be able to eat.

The coli told me to quit your job and start a business with no backup plan in case your business fails:ehh:.

I never said "quit your job yall", i said more black men need to LEARN to employ themselves JUST IN CASE they get laid off unexpectedly. This is about being prepared, not quitting their job.

Idk why nikkas on here act like you have to quit your job to learn how to feed yourself independently. All the info about employing yourself is literally online for free. Nobody has to quit their job just to google information and figure something out, so they can be prepared. It's best to know how just in case. Any nikka arguing against this is just being a stupid argumentative nikka for the hell of it:comeon:

And self employed doesn't necessarily mean starting a business, some self employed people are software developers, real estate agents, consultants,lawyers, accountant, engineers etc. Independent contractors are considered self employed

yes..

nikkas always come on here talking about starting a business, when a lot of blacks don't have jobs, don't have connections and unable to get loans without a high ass interest rate...

like @Malik Wright just stated, become independent contractors. i know a few of my neighbors who are ex cons and can't get work as become independent contractors or flipping cars and happy at what they doing

In today's world you can't expect to work for the same company until retirement, the world is changing fast so does companies, they'll keep you as long they need you and there's always other opportunities elsewhere, the most important thing for a black man in corporate world is to gain more skills as possible, that's your only ticket to good quality pay no matter the company
