- In this eye-opening video, we delve deep into the reasons why Generation Z is increasingly hesitant to embrace traditional employment. From societal shifts to changing values, we explore the multifaceted factors driving this trend. Join us as we uncover the mindset of Gen Z and examine how their perspectives on work differ from previous generations. Whether it's a desire for flexibility, a passion for purpose-driven work, or a longing for work-life balance, we dissect the underlying causes behind Gen Z's reluctance to conform to conventional work norms. Don't miss out on understanding one of the most significant shifts in the modern workforce landscape.

With taxes and inflation combined we're just modern day serfs.
Essentially, and it’s sad but most people don’t see it until it’s too late
Modern Day Serfs. You live to work, not work to live.
The 60k annual hits home so hard brother 😂
So true , and they think paying you $60K is crazy money
I'm an old millenial, age 39. What you said is basically my daily life. Difference is I'm a half broken vending machine, there's no more light in me, but if you kick me around I still work.
It was Friday night yesterday, I worked until 11:30pm, from 8am. I forgot what it's like to have a drink at the pub with friends, because I lost them all as we're all too busy.
I did however manage to buy a home far from town at age 35, but other than paying the mortgage and have a motorcycle, I don't have much. Not even Netflix, no subscription for me.
I "cheated" by choosing not to have kids because I couldn't afford them anyway. My workplace, although work us to death sometime, does adjust salary from time to time just to meet industry average, not more, not less. They don't retrench people, though we joke that it's so stressful people fire themselves lol.
I don't know where I'm going with this but I feel gen z's pain. 1/3 my team now are gen z.
I'm still recovering from working late night Friday as I type this. I'm hungry, I wonder if I should at least treat myself to something nicer or just eat instant ramen again... Tomorrow is Sunday, and yeah, what weekend? I need to work 7am to 11am tomorrow. Not a full day but still.
Yeah ive been hearing these stories more and more, tired millenials dead bedrooms 12 hour workdays. At least your misery is a light switch, you can do things like treat yourself to switch it off for even a moment. If a billion dollars fell into my bank account tomorrow I'd still be miserable. So treat yourself you have control over that at least? Best way I can phrase it.
Hey man please keep your head up, I feel bad for your situation. Just remember to take some time for yourself at least 1 hour a day no matter what. Jobs will replace us but we can’t replace our bodies
@@kamscorner9766 Thanks man, just ended another week where Friday work ended just minutes before midnight, starting from 8AM. You're right, I'm getting sick, workplace will say that I'm entitled to sick days but that doesn't remove the work I need to do.
At least I don't have to work this weekend.
@@1whospeaks Hah, you lost me at 1 billion dollar. Strange thing that the first thing came into my head when I read that is "dangit the tax man gonna come after me".
My partner lives and works 5 hours drive away, stressful shift job and is on Xanax. She'll have to do that for 4 more years before it'll end. Just the other day she asked me is it possible to live without money, I felt bad having to burst her bubble, again.
Both of us envy people who is living a van life. It's the total opposite of what we have now, even if we know there's a lot of downside to that life.
walk away bro! it can be done
The only way to survive in Toronto nowadays is the BMD (the bank of mom and dad).
BMD all the way 😂
I live in France and that’s the same thing. There is no point anymore. I’ll just try to enjoy myself until my 40 and that will do it. No house, no kids because it’s not even possible financially.
The funniest part is they expect you to pay to create more livestock for their farm.
@@aluisious I'm not going to play their game
You need to make 10% a year more to keep up with inflation, staying at a job you get 2-4% more a year. Best strategy is to get a better job, on average you get 20% more. thats why
Very true. We need to switch jobs every 2-4 years
I've been at this job 2 years, job before that 3 years, job before that six years but got a matching offer half way through. I make 3 times more than I did 12 years ago for the same work.
Inflation...I gotta roommate. It helps.
Sad part is it's getting harder and harder. Hope things will change
I don’t think it will unfortunately, for change something drastic would need to happen😞
I don't think things will change unfortunately. It will most likely just keep getting worse.
Are you tired of working?
Great video buddy. I fucking hate working and im busting my ass and still broke make it make sense
I'm a unionized electrician. The job used to pay well but at this last contract negotiation the NECA contractors wouldn't give us and inflation level raise even as they make record profit and way overcharge for our work. We are on the 4th week of the first strike in 50 years and the NECA contractors still won't give us a decent raise. This last year I lived in a camper for several months because I couldn't afford a place close to work and did want a horrendous commute every day. I remember one of the bosses complaining about how depressed and lethargic everyone was but when you are driving 2 hours to work, having to pay $30 to park near work, not knowing if this will be a 60 hour workweek or a 20 hour workweek, and haven't taken a vacation in a couple years because there is no paid vacation do you think are going to be happy? Really? I go to work because I have to pay bills but so long as my life is difficult and I'm lacking basic necessities like housing within 1 hours commute I just can't care alot about the job.
Paying to park at work should be a crime. They wonder why people are depressed but they know we aren’t getting paid enough. Theyll think of every solution other than paying more.
Making little over 70k out of college in Michigan and bought my place last year while finishing my masters. I’m only 24. I worked though college too and came out debt free
Congrats man, your one of the lucky ones .
what did you graduate in?
your special
That's because no one wants to live in Michigan.
great video, great thoughts
i love this format
ps: the algorithm rewards consistency, keep em coming ❤
That happen in my country too and think its a globe problem. Life for averrage folks harder and harder each year passes .
My goal is live minimally and just save up to retire early or work part-time . And maybe that involves leaving canada eventually but you bring up a good point its important to enjoy life along the way.
Also agree with you about side hustles , unfortunately it's needed you won't get ahead from just a job
Leaving is probably the only way
@@kamscorner9766 I used to live in Toronto and moved from there but still thinking about leaving Canada eventually overall. I just think realistically I need 1 of 2 things
1) a large savings account
2) an online business
Well, to be honest, gen z actually don’t need a light in the end of dark narrow sharp curve tunnel. They only need a good pair head light instead😮 of
Good analogy 👍
yeah in order to survive where i am at which is considered a cheap area you have to at least make 50-60k at minumum idk ever since covid businesses and people/landlords just said fuck it im gunna charge w.e the fuck i want to charge so basically pricing out the working class and only catering to the middle classes with dual incomes.
Yea the landlords took advantage and the government knows this and did nothing. Your right you need two incomes and you’ll just make enough to get by
@@kamscorner9766 you also gotta realize the gov is also doing it with increased property taxes forcing landlords to raise their rent in some cases its all just a big orgy of greed. The only answer is to make more money prices arent going down ever again this is here to stay. Good luck
Seems to be you need to move out of toronto. I can afford my own house at age 31 and have done it all by myself. No expensive cars, no unaffordable luxuries. I barely travelled and used to work a min wage job 7 years ago. I invested all spare income on getting better qualifications, studying and increasing my value to employers. Now, I earn 3x the national average and can afford the lifestyle I want and then some on my own salary. I also have a partner which is my fallback plan if things go awry.
The problem is these days is we expect to do all things on our own. We live these atomised individualist lives which leads to mediocre outcomes for everyone. I have no family to count on, which sucks and no support network.
and yes, I am taxed to the hilt. I pay more than my mortgage and bills in tax. Its utterly insane and stupid and i intend to utilise my partners 12.5k tax free allowance to work while i work less hours in the future and look after the kids.
It is workable but just really hard... no pain no gain and all that...
Having said that Gen Z have it worse than me so I can only say I feel for them and id rather my home crashes in value than they rent for the rest of their lives.. but we all know thats not gonna happen.
What annoyed me is that there were a ton of offers for retirees to purchase a home on discount than offers for young people. People say go to Help to buy scheme, or shared ownership but they are all just SCAMS SCAMS SCAMS. Never ever do that. You dig your own personal hell hole if you do that. No other way than to build that deposit and build your career until your side hustle provides you an alternative lifestyle.
Im just Waiting on UBI at this point
Thats why things will get a lot worse I think.
Leave the GTA, move west young man: Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, affordable housing, great outdoors, nice people, there is a future there. What are you still doing in Toronto?
Im giving myself until 30 at this point
@@kamscorner9766 few more years then, don t lose hope.
Yup I quit working full time in 2005, just do gigs now but I'm 60 and it is getting near impossible to maintain my head above the bills taxes fees fines. I just bought 5 acres in Arizona going off grid I'm done! Your great thanks
The math ain't mathin'.
😂😂
And people still want to have 1 billion kids
😅don’t get me started on that
THEIRS NO INCENTIVE
And it’s only getting worse, I can’t do this process until I retire 😂
I think because Gen Z want quick cash and fame from social media.
This hits.. germany i believe a proper balance is at least somewhat possible
The other thing is the average citizen from said country we may use in the argument is also being displaced. I'm Gen Z and I applied to 50 different basic entry level jobs in my town and have been turned down by every single one of them from Walmart, Target to basic janitorial jobs. We are being replaced faster and faster for lower waged workers who will just take whatever they can. My town has always been Hispanic but now its gotten to the point now where every corner is Hispanic and most jobs are asking us to be bilingual just to move pallets in warehouses or cut yards. Allot of us are just being replaced in America and Europe alone to the point where I'm planning my escape route out of America. Its not that we don't want to work, its that we are outpriced in our own homeland and that our jobs have been all outsourced and our own government and citizens openly say they don't like us and with the whole Gen Z lazy stereotype we are seen as a last resort.
Cheap labour is the key to a capitalist society. Capitalism is the best way but when governments go unchecked it leads to the downfall of the youth then downfall of middle class then ultimately society will fall. Not to be too dark buts it’s the truth.
@@kamscorner9766 Yeah capitalism when its truly capitalistic can be great, until it reaches a point with to much government over reach. But I think that we're almost at a boiling point.
The best way to break out of the matrix is to vote with your feet and leave. If you can get your side hustle producing even 50% of your current income, I would up and leave to south america, south east asia or somewhere where you can still buy a condo for $30k
I agree, I’ll retire early in a different country
So you're plan is to gentrify south america?
@@derpnerpwerp I would go to South America, I’m Jamaican so I’d go there. Although South American countries are beautiful and have great people
Let me know where you can buy a condo for $30k. Even in a city you've never heard of in Thailand, they cost a lot more than that.
God damn right im 18 and also ride a motorcycle and hardly work I hate working
When I work all I think about is riding
22 had a dualtron victor e scooter love the dopamine and adrenaline of the ting and to be honest that's the only thing that keeps me motivated and excited every day so do motorcycles but ngl not mature enough to handle that adrenaline rush on that 😅
WTF am I even gonna do with money? Only reason I like cars is because I'm endangering myself. Food? I have to distract myself with music just to stuff the food down my mouth so I don't starve. Work till I die yeah no thanks. I'll take a loan at 20% APR on a V8 and thrash it or worse.
Doctors out here being payed 200k a year and even they're starving working overtime fuck that.
You mentioned watching shows. Now even that is a worthless timesink. 1982's The Thing, one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces ever made by humanity, is 109 minutes. Now the Netflix SLOP needs 200 minutes just to introduce the one-dimensional twitterbait characters. All that while I cant even buy my own land, living in someone else's building barely scraping by despite my extravagant salary.
😅most people just decide to spend it on a car and enjoy themselves and I see why, get a nice V8 and call it a day. Also I even hear stories of homeless teachers that shower at gyms and use tim hortons wifi
Asked for an extra 200$ a month. The general manager at the store I work at mentioned how we were on schedule to make 3 million for the week we did 3.7 million....in a week, and I'm asking for an extra 200$ a month, and this 300 pound fuck said "we'll look into it". 3 weeks later ain't shit changed.
Putting in my 2 weeks notice after running out my vacation time.
You work at a store… yea get a better career
« we will look into it » means HELL NO 😅, regardless of where we work;the amount of time and effort we give, we still shouldn’t struggle when they print money and hand it out 24/7. We struggle for money that is constantly printed and devalued
weird way to make a video. just sit down at a desk
Live in a car, I do. Im rich af and live in a car.
You found the loophole💪🏾
Hard to hear you. Skip
I’ll try and talk louder but my bike is loud
bruh just turn your audio up its not bad lmafo
@@zerowater1645 no, in these days of podcasts, i’m not tryna hear a dude speak over a motorcycle. Get outta here.
@@kamscorner9766 then don’t do a video while riding a motorcycle. Do it while walking or something. Bad audio moves.
@@zerowater1645 no, in these days of podcasts and professional audio equipment. Not tryna listen to a dude speaking over a motorcycle engine. Hell nah.
The light at the end of the tunnel is just the light of an oncoming train. Buckle up and get ready for an impact. 🫡

@@kamscorner9766 Let the impact begin! 😈
