Better than nothing is better than nothing. And I have yet to hear a realistic alternative from the folks that are against working. Everyone can't be social media "influencers". Aint no revolution happening. These same folks quitting will be crawling right back to these same employers once they realize they played themselves trying to make a career from uber and doordash just like all the folks that wanted to be rappers back in the day. Going back to school and starting from the bottom at 40 aint the move but that what will be in most of these folks future.
disappointed to see Millenials talking like this. complete boomer attitude that ignores the conditions of today's environment. I don't think anyone is against working. Against working under shytty conditions or for shytty pay is another. There are a lot more options today with the Internet than it was back in the day so Entrepreneurship wave has never been bigger.

Yall sound like clowns with this bootstrap talk as if this the same playing field as 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. You said it took you 10 years of grinding to get to where you are now. Imagine you're 20 y/o today, by the time you're 30 the average price for a home will most likely be 600k+ while you'll most likely have 6 figures worth of student loan debt. But who cares cause you got yours already right?

This shyt is not sustainable and I think some in Gen Z starting to realize it and taking other options.

nikkas are not buying homes like before, not getting married til much later, not having kids til much later or fukk it not having kids at all. AT a high level this shyt is running America into the ground but no fukks given as long as I got mine :hubie:

Corporations will go down swinging, but times are changing.


Work week should be 4 days, too.

this has never be more true after working from home. Let me have a 3 day weekend and y’all can keep the gotdamn 4 hours worth of meetings to talk about action plans for the actions that will be planned at the next planned meeting.

I’m convinced these motherfukkers know they don’t have enough work to make themselves look busy so they schedule meetings to take up the whole damn day. Middle managers are useless and should be eliminated.

What types of jobs are you talking about them leaving though. Cause the shortsighted thinking is that money wise the paycheck might look the job. But if they are leaving a solid position while the paycheck might change they will be missing out on some of the other benefits like 401K matching, health insurance, paid vacation and the like. Not to mention they are hurting their long term prospects if they job hop too much as the better positions won't want to fukk with someone who bounces between jobs. Add on that they will be entering every position as entry level and they will never get the chance to move up and improve their salary prospects long term.

For myself I started as software support and grinded my way up to having managerial experience in multiple areas and eventually to being a product manager which pays way better. I agree with them that if the company is truly treating employees like shyt then definitely bounce. But at the same time they need realistic expectations of the workplace is. I know when I was hiring new employees many came in thinking the company should cater to them and hand them positions before they decided to work hard if they ever did. I came in with the mindset of grinding and proving my worth then making demands since they knew they couldn't lose me.

Did u have to get any certs to get hired in software support or just a degree?

Your right. it took me 10+ years to do what brehs can do in 5 years now. Young brehs actually have it easier now and are still messin up. I didnt have a blue print and all the steps laid out to follow. Yall do. No excuses. If you are 20 years old you would be a fool to get into 6 figures worth of student loan debt without a plan to pay it off at this point cause all the info and knowledge is out there for you to avoid that. You know what majors pay well enough to justify the cost and you know there are plenty of cheaper state schools you can get degrees from without spending all that money. They get no sympathy from me if in this information age you still fall into easy traps. If you can use tik tok you can use google to smarten up.

And 30 is not old. Who said you need to have it all together by then? Who told you that you deserve a 600k home at 30? That's luxury and that's the problem. You think you deserve luxury lifestyle without putting in the work. And the median home price is actually 375K. Averages are skewed by the really expensive houses so using the median gives a better perspective. 50% of available homes are cheaper than 375k.

Anybody being a bootstrapper defending the status quo right now needs to realize that...

Just a few decades ago, you could achieve a middle class lifestyle, buy a brand new house, buy a brand new car and support an entire family on one income by getting a gotdamn regular ass job at a factory down the street as soon as you graduated from high school.:what:

That is no longer possible. Those same exact houses that were bought for a few thousand now are hundreds of thousands of dollars. The good manufacturing jobs are long gone which is why every ghetto in America is the way it is. And wages have remained flat for decades. All while people hold more debt due to student loans and credit cards because wages are kept low so the average person cant afford to buy anything in straight up cash to keep the scam credit industry in business. :ohhh:

But America is the land of personal accountability. So it’s you’re fault if you can’t achieve a middle class lifestyle in a country where the soulless global corporations and their bought government cronies actively work together to destroy what is left of the middle class.

Then the retarded everybody goes to college game started.:unimpressed: Then, it was ever moving goal posts. Don’t just go to college, only major in hyperthermal nuclear astrophysics even though most people don’t work in their field of study in college anyway. :beli:You studied stem and can’t get a job? Go get six certs. Can’t get a job after college? You should have gone to trade school even though your parents, teachers, counselors and college bound peers indoctrinated you into believing blue collar work was for “losers”.

When do you admit the game is rigged? :jbhmm: Bootstrapping is cac ideology. Every hood video on YouTube has tonedef cacs commenting on how black folks are loitering in the hood aren’t at work during the day as if those black folks didn’t move to those areas decades ago to work in the factories. :snoop:

These companies better learn. These gen z/ later millennials are not like their parents the Baby boomer/gen x that were employed before and worked at the same company for 20+ years and deal with all types of bullshyt and just complain. We're quick as hell to quit a job or just leave for the next best opportunity. I get multiple messages monthly with recruiters offering new positions where I could learn more and make more money. That paired with covid...Why tf would i put up a job that i hate :mjlol:

Cause my taxes will be supporting you bums

Spoken like a CAC corporate bootlicker. Your Taxes pays for millionaires and billionaires lifestyles out of your dime, but you have no smoke against them. You don't even have smoke against your CAC boss who put you through the BS, but God forbid if people talk about collective bargaining and improving wages and shortening work days on all professions. :picard:

Glad that you getting the pushback that your selfish mindset deserves.

These STEM majors never intend to improve the conditions of society. Just to enrich their own pockets and superficial desires.

My home girl got hired by Aldi making $21 an hour.. seriously that's almost $43k a year full time at a grocery store. Why deal with alot of BS jobs like in a warehouse for less?


ALDI has their employees working like they're in a warehouse. It's probably equivalent to working at Dollar General, but the pay is better at least.

Paying the rent prices today vs prices 10 years ago. Home prices today vs 10 years ago. College tuition costs today vs 10 years ago. Investing in stocks at current valuations today vs 10 years ago. Young brehs today actually have it easier? :comeon:

I swear nikkas get a little bit of paper and just lose all common sense it's amazing. :mjlol:

And the median home price is actually 375K. Averages are skewed by the really expensive houses so using the median gives a better perspective. 50% of available homes are cheaper than 375k.
400k+

Median Sales Price of Houses Sold for the United States

from 220k in 2011 to over 400k in 2021. Damn near doubled in just 10 years. What do you think it will be in another 10 years? Nothing to see here. Just get your certs and everything will work itself out
