She complaining about her first job.. Is she right or is this generation soft?

[LadyJ2]

It’s not that simple. And most people ain’t going to bed at 1 am to wake up and 6 or 7 to go to work.

I had a job making 90k as a manager. Technically it was 40 hours, but it was more like 60 to 65. And as a manager even when you’re off, if there’s an issue, you gotta deal with it.

The same with call centers. If you work at a warehouse it’s even worse.


Everybody can’t work remotely or work a high six figure job. The people in the service and hospitality industries have it worse because they have to deal with a$$hole customers constantly.

But people like you look down on people who are in those positions and you tell them to leave.

Ok. If those positions are that fukked up, why do then need to exist in the first place? Covid called them essential so if that’s the case, why are they still shunned?

The system in general is fukked up. If you work 40 hours, you shouldn’t have to work another job just to afford rent AND food. But I digress. Inflation is out of control, credit card debt is in the trillions a people keep chasing the imaginary American Dream.

Why can’t you go to bed at 1am and wake up at 6? She’s young she can definitely do that. Like I said if she has a kid that schedule is THE NORM.

Now we’re going from 9-5 job to hospitality, warehouses and call centers? Of course those jobs tend to have schedules that fall outside traditional hours.

Those jobs exist so people who work 9-5 can spend their money. Personally, I’d like to go back to all businesses closing by 6pm and being closed on weekends. But that would leave a lot of people unemployed and a lot of serviced unfulfilled. The service economy has allowed many people to work and support their families. You can’t have it both ways.

Who said anything about working another job to afford rent and food? You’re all over the place. This post is about a young woman complaining that she can’t live “in the city” or hang out after work because she has to commute and she is tired.

People choose credit card debt. I bet a lot of people with 500-600 credit scores would rack up crazy credit card debt if people gave them credit.

She's right but the coli is contaminated containing a cavalcade of corporate cocksucking c00ns, so they'll pretend that she isn't

Some Coli posters need to get a whole chainsaw through their waistlines

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

The commutes are the legit killers. No previous gen traveled more than 30 minutes to and from work. Now, people justifying 4 hour round trip commutes daily for a slightly bigger check. Thats not humane.

We need remote work for at least half the white collar jobs.

Who you know doing 4 hour round trips to work everyday?

 

[Bop Gun]

This generation is lazy and entitled, even got many of our peers acting the same way.

You don't want to work a 9 to 5? Ok, start your own thing and find out you will be working from sun up to sun down to keep it afloat. Use your time wisely now so you don't have to overcome the same pitfalls in your 30s, 40s, even 50s.

You want to wear designer? Then apply yourself to be able to afford it. Want to eat at Ruth's Chris or Daniels? You know the drill. Want to be frugal even though you make good money? Go right ahead too.

If you want to be poor and complain your whole life about how hard it is, you can do that too. But don't expect people to have remorse for you either.

I grew up with minimum wage at $5.15/hour. Today you have Verizon, Costco, USPS, Security, At&t, and a slew of other companies starting at $18+/hour. That's good for late teens and early 20s. People want 6 figures right away, whether they got a degree or not. The satisfaction of seeing yourself progress is a great feeling, but too many refuse to put the work in.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

It's almost like you should develop skills and knowledge to not have to work dead end jobs that pay nothing and give zero time off

 

[Spence]

What 9-5 jobs is making people homeowners in 2023 that most people can access? some of you guys on here are out of touch

Be smart with money and you can work your way up to higher levels through Gen Z job hopping

Gen Z wants to be CEO their 2nd week at their first job and aren’t patient or willing to put in the work

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

She's soft. I don't want to admit that, but it's true.

I complain about the 9 to 5, it sucks ass, but there's billions of poor people who would love to switch places with me and her in our cushy air conditioned office environments. The only good thing is we all have the freedom to change our life path, e.a. get the skills to wfh or start a business

I do think there needs to be some sort of reform for workers like more vacation, every other Friday off, etc. But I don't expect things to really change. I'm know I'm on my own if I want a better work life balance

 

[IIVI]

I agree with her.

I said it before: if you can't get remote work then you need to be compensated heavy for your time and hassle.

I say this as a software engineer - I can work anywhere remote and I'm getting paid pretty big money. I know of people making well over $550k/year after 4 years. Remote work is basically a standard and a large but growing number of teams are fully remote. I only need a laptop and I can work anywhere.

I see an electrical or mechanical engineer and they're commuting back and forth, limited job sites/cities to work from (many times a HCOL area), if they somehow get a remote job they can only work at their home lab and get paid less than $100k after 5 years.

That sucks and you wonder why those majors have been fading with graduates. Dinosaur work culture and cheap people running those industries.

fukk this bytch

My first job out of college i was working 10 to 6.. got home around 6:30 .. was still able to hit the gym and eat and chop it up with friends on the phone..

Your a grown up now, not 18/19 years old

 

[Fillerguy]

She spitting facts. This lifestyle is anti-living life and is slowly killing us on top of alienating us from other people. I'm WFH 3x a week so I don't got those problems anymore. Thanks covid

Breh you could be a homeowner with no degree back in the 70's and 80's working a simple factory job at 26.....now dudes got a masters at 30 having a roomie.....reality is that quality of life has dropped heavily to the point shyt is bad out here for 90% of Americans and people who ain't just Gen Z waking up to this shyt.

 

[old pig]

They were told to work hard all your life then retire and relax. Don’t nobody want to waste decades of time working to pay bills, then live out the final 20 years thinking back on all the shyt they missed out on or tying to do all the things they wanted to do in their 20’s and 30’s but couldn’t.

shyt some can’t even afford to retire and have those thoughts and I’m not even speaking in regards to the current/young generation

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

The economy is the issue
Probably 70 percent of her pay goes to bills

Nobody was complaining about 9-5 back in 2004
Life was cheaper

This is another point. If folks want relatively comfortable, if college was cheaper, it wouldn't be THAT bad.

At the same time though, people got to stop buying expensive things. Even $80k doesn't go very far if you got a $600 car note and $600 monthly credit card payments.

I’d save this PAWG princess

 

[mag357]

Cracca bytch right.
Y'all all should feel that way.
And fight the establishment

nikkaz working 5 and 6 days out of a 7 day week.

This is why everything is messed up. Nobody has the time to be healthy and do healthy things
