0:00 Why is everyone quitting their jobs?
5:35 Pendulum
8:55 The Gig Economy
Why no one wants to work:
1. Hostile work environment.
2. People at work trying to sabotage you so they can either get rid of you or take your position.
3. Bad bosses.
4. Unrealistic work given (large amount of work to be done in short amount of time).
5. Your company is having cutbacks and you know the end of it's day's are coming soon.
they hire interns & don't pay them, milk them for free work while dangling the prospect of a job like a carrot, but then discard them
pay is low, people on the bottom do most of the work & get none of the benefits
6. AI and outsourcing means your work will be redundant in 5 years, so you are best to get out now.
Find me a company that doesn’t do all those things
DITTO for all of those points!!
Narcissistic personality disordered people seek power so if you work with at least 20 people you can bet there will be one narcissist in the group who weasels their way into being your supervisor then makes the entire work environment hostile. I've seen it over and over again for decades which is why I work on my own now.
It's not that no one "wants" to work, what an absolutely ridiculous saying it's not that people don't "want" to work but they want a better "work life" balance. They are realizing the "value" of their time that the pandemic revealed. Also it's about standards of "work" which is the main issue, pay, and longer hours for being less.
Yup
Exactly
like what a stupid title, "no one "wants" to work" if they can read everyone's mind. @@bharath2508
Exactly 💯
And higher pay. It's digusting how you can't even to pay for basic living expenses. Even working a high paying job/profession
Money can't buy happiness. But poverty is GUARANTEED to buy you a whole lot of misery.
True
If we all lived like mother Theresa poverty and taking a vow of god and living simply without technology would be virtuous!!! Seriously. And we could have peace and almost no violence and then poverty would be heavenly suffering according to the saints
@@laurab9518 you do realize that "modern sewage systems" are a product of a higher technology society, right? And modern sewage systems are the reason why HALF of the human population doesn't die before they are old enough to reproduce. Because that was our existence for like....most of history. We died by the millions from cholera and yellow fever and all the rest.
So your desire to live in poverty means you want half of everyone born to die of a sewage born illness.
I think we'll skip on that.
Money does buy happiness because I can have anything I want
Beautiful quote thanks @brianstalltales
After the pandemic, companies found out that they could still function whilst being short staffed. No one wants to be doing the job of two people! People are getting burnt out and depressed.
Correct, and people don’t have time to look for better jobs.
And then they turn around and wonder why people call out any chance they get.
@@NeonMay exactly right
This so true as well wtf my last job I was doing like 3 people jobs we were the smallest architecture firm literally like 3 people and it was a lot. My current job also crazy it’s still a small firm not as small but expectations are very high but at least they pay me better
@@MariCatherinee I mean you shouldn’t be over worked like that.
I couldn't get out of customer service jobs. I just don't want to waste my time soothing adult temper tantrums or being stressed out of customer abuse anymore.
If I have to mother a customer, I might as well mother my own biological children
I hope your biological children pay you at least.
I've been on hold for five minutes just to put this comment here! That's what is wrong with this _________( fill in the blank: 1) Company 2) School 3) Zoo 4)Putt Putt Golf Course).
Now that you are finally listening....... Have a great weekend....enjoy the sun!
Why not create a business where you can use your customer service skills and charge what you’re worth. You’d be surprised what people would pay for you to do the simplest things for them. Pay their bills, walk their dogs, pick up their food,kids,dry clean etc.
Figure out how to sell customer service functions to growing businesses and hire labor in LatAm or other countries and let them deal with the worst parts of it. While you deal with the higher level service agreements and billing.
Good for you, I got out of customer service 3 years ago and I will sleep under a bridge before I ever go back to appeasing as$ holes throwing tantrums for no reasons other than the customer is always right. Hopefully you won't have to serve anyone anymore because nothing is worth it, not the money, not the hours and definitely not the people
I requested to cut my working hours to just 6 hours 5 days a week. I realized way too late that chasing money never made me happy, sending emails, balancing spreadsheets, answering calls, all don't fucking matter. Wanna know what does? Being at home with your family more, because the more you do for a company the more they'll expect from you and they never wanna give anything back to you.
And that would be because workers are simply another resource to be exploited rather than being human beings. Hence renaming personnel “Human Resources”. If in reality the workers were considered human Human Resources would revert to being called personnel.
Because of some personal and business issues few months ago I had to start working "normal 9-5" job...and I was and still am shocked. Bosses treat their employees like shit, they feel threatened by any tine sign of independence, in a stupid coffee shop they do not allow you to sit when theres nobody. I mean seriously. It gave me the perspective and a huge motivation to start even 5 business of my own, anything to just NOT work under such riciculous conditions for a minimum wage! I'm not surprised ppl don;t want to work I tried for months and all I got was debts and signs of varicose veins after 8h of standing.
…why I have been self employed since 1998.
The problem is, that you have always someone with more power who will make your working life stressful. I'm 47 and since 1994 I have worked in different companies and career fields and there was always someone who thought he/she was a gift by God and only their point was right. It's really hard to stay calm and not to slap them. And working life did not become easier in the past 20 years, I find it very stressful. Too many tasks, less employees, endless days. And I don't get it why we still clinge to the 5 days work/2 days off bullshit. It's like written in stone but not from the actual workers.
I'm in total agreement because that's how it's always been for me.
And 1 of those 2 days you are bombarded with chores you couldn't get to during the 5 work days. Then on Sunday you are just resting with barely any energy to enjoy then again it's back to Monday. We lose 40 years of our healthy life this way hut by then we are old and sick then they say enjoy those few years which for men now it is down to 73 years old for death.
There's also no way up the ladder. So many of the middle jobs have been hollowed out, so there are a few leadership /upper jobs filled by Boomers who refuse to retire, and everything else is almost entry level or internship work. Otherwise the middle jobs are just mindless administration and nothing that requires skill
@@rejectionistmanifesto8836and if any millennials and gen Z can retire…it’ll probably be in their 70s
@@charliedallachie3539 but with the life expectancy down to 73 for men and 76 for women it's basically like saying no retirement. Very sad state of affairs.
I am a nurse. I have my MSN in nursing informatics. If you ask me is this my dream job the answer is NO! I’ve never dreamed of having a job. I want to wake up and do what I want to do. I don’t want to work a job.

what would that look like for you? Chase it !
Really? My sis is in informatics and she says it rocks. A lot better then the floor
Working for myself 24 / 7 is way better than me working a 9-5. 🇺🇸
You work for whoever pays you.
@@cannotwest Not for many people. For many people work is whatever you want to do that you do with pleasure. Your opinion is the same as my mom's: if someone is paying, it's a job, and you do it, so you get paid. But for many of us, a job is something that pays, but you do it with passion. Which often means being your own boss.
If you make enough
I bet.
@@cannotwest -- Not if you learn to day trade. No customers. = )
People are starting to realize inflation is a zero sum game where working is becoming irrelevant when you'll be doing it until you die. Not able to retire.
Every 9-5 is bad. They're all bureaucratic.
Edit: They're also guarantee all dead end jobs. They will not get you to finance independence unless you have a head start in finance. That is dependant upon your upbringing and families financial aspect that you have no control over.

The worst feeling ever, money can buy opportunities but working on mundane tasks are awful.
The sad reality is that so many first wave Millennials spent money or took out loans to go to college so they didn't have to get stuck in a rut by working mundane tasks. In the time that it took us to enroll and graduate, the entire working world and economy changed so that a college degree was considered useless. Many Millennials ended up working gig jobs, low wage entry level retail/customer service jobs, or mundane office jobs.
‘Is’ not ‘are’.
You touched on all the positives and possibilities when pursuing a life outside of a 40-hour a week job, but you should have also covered the risks and gave some warning. Explain that there will be periods where you might not generate any income for months. Maybe even a year. You should have a windfall to weather this before starting something on your own. Have a backup plan. If what you’re doing doesn’t work out, can you enter or return to your previous industry. Can you divert your path to salvage what you did so far. Positive is nice, but realistic reduces risk and regrets.
Amazing post always have no likes as usual.
I think answer to this problem is quite simple. Being a middle class is becoming more and more untenable over the years and decades. If you are making 50k USD a year in the US, you are effectively poor. Yes, you can buy an iPhone, but you can’t buy a house. People can’t be certain about their work anymore in anyway. People are being told that being a freelancer is the new normal.
Very good point ☝️
People want more that 2 weeks of vacation, in Europe they get a few months 😭😭😭 life is also meant to be enjoyed
I'm from Europe and I get 30 days of vacation per year, can't even imagine only having 2 weeks! That's only my summer vacation, what about the rest of the year??
part of north America culture is being proud of how many hours & how hard one works, it's a huge cultural shift from Europe. A lot of jobs give only 10 or 15 min breaks or lunches which is not enough time to eat and digest the food even
@@stevejeffrey11that’s awful I’m from UK and a FT worker usually is entitled to up to an hour. Occasionally you can even request 2 hour lunches. We also (unless it’s permanently fixed start finish times like eg factory workers) often have flexitime so have ability to take up to approx 4 days a month on top of the 30 days and a few bank hols also. I just don’t understand why N America drives its workforce into the ground the way it does 😐
A few months😂😂😂 in germany 30d
But salaries in Europe can be way lower than in N.America in some fields. For example in IT for the same skills you can get paid half the salary in EU compare to America.
If I'm going t0 be homeless working full time....why bother?
People need to figure out how to organize themselves into nonprofit camp ground operators so they can go permanently glamping, as it were, and get zoned so that they will not be subjected to continual harassment from the county building inspectors. That is my current mental hobby farm and I’m sticking with it in the hope that not too much reality will spoil it for me.

Pandemic? I must have missed something. I had to work completely normally. And I am unable to buy a home, despite this.
Just come to Britain you get given a free home nhs and dental treatment, also phones and get fed 3 times a day while us working brits get ground down working for peanuts ! Who’s the mugs
I'm in my 50s, Gen Xer. I love how the generations after mine are aware of how companies will make a sucker out of you. I knew this when I was young, but when you are the few and almost lone, people view you as crazy. The new generation has the momentum to really make a change.
Yep, they will make a change. They're going to be homeless, broke, and unemployed. Complaining about the bOoMers. They're heroes.
Our generation has been told every consecutive year that we've been alive regardless of the economic conditions: the wealthy have gotten nearly exponentially wealthier. When your bills start to outweigh your income, you start to think differently about this "game" where most people slowly lose by design.
Even though you want to work and keep sending resumes out, it doesn't mean you would get hired. 😅 It's quite complicated situation nowadays, which we are blamed for not wanting to work but all sent resumes got rejected.
same with me. Still sending and rejected
I’m with you my friend! hundreds of resumes sent out, handful of interviews (a few pretty close), no offers.
I’m mean I’m not crazy about working, but I’d call you delusional if you think I don’t want to work when I’ve put in all this effort. There's less of a supply of opportunities than there are demand of workers. Idk why this is so hard for some people to understand
It's even difficult in tech space which used to be easy access if you had any kind of experience.
same. i’ve not had any interviews yet and either get a no or told there’s additional steps to complete the app which i just ignore all of those.
I sent out 10 applications with resumes, only 1 of them was actually viewed by human eyes
We should be working less in the age of automation, innovation and AI. But now 50+ hour weeks, mega commutes and crap money are the norm
Things are a little more complicated than automating everything. Automation will lower product prices, yes, but there are many other factors. Universal basic income is not the solution.
What's so ironic is how there are claims that people "don't want to work" and yet, the job market, especially in biotechnology, has been rather crappy with the layoffs. There are actually more people out there that are trying to find work than there are who don't want to work.
As a small business owner I work as hard as I can just to break even. Profit is a long term goal unfortunately. What keeps me working is the goal of trying to pay off the debt accrued to keep the business open for the last 4 years. Business ownership is not something for the typical worker to pursue.
You are spot on right. When you have your own business, you work 24/7. None of my friends understand that.
yeah when you strike out on your own it never stops, and the phone always ringing, takes years to build up a positive reputation & ones reputation can be ruined with 1 or 2 bad reviews
Yes, but you are building something for yourself and you are invested in it so even if you are working grueling hours, you get lost in them.
People are tired of doing work they don't care about. When we're aligned we go all in because we barely feel the time going buy when we get in the flow.
I also feel like HOW the work is showing up in corporate is different than HOW it shows up in small businesses or starting your own thing. For my career corporate stripped all the delightful things about the job, took away all the "fun" aspects or designated it to a select few and everyone else got the leftover scraps. Add tighter deadlines + leaner budgets = longer hours at the same salary... you're just constantly being squeezed on every end. It sucks on all sides: the actually job or tasks that you're being asked to do, the type of work you're doing, the pay, the time you have to complete it, etc.
People WANT to work just not within the current construct.
When you start to work for yourself you will not want a regular job ever.
That's bullshit.
If you are successful doing it.
I hear more self-employed people saying how much it sucks being self-employed, yet they are stuck in the mindset of "I am better than those 9-5 peasants." so they can't quit because otherwise "I would be on the level of those peasants."
It's super easy to work for yourself. It's infinitely harder making money doing so.
Ding ding ding! That is the reality of being "self-employed."@@SiimKoger
Yeah, that’s complete garbage.
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life
That's awesome!!! I know nothing about investment and I'm keen on getting started. What are the strategies?
I'll advise you to work with a financial advisor.....Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Fergus Waylen's support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams..
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing him been mentioned here also Didn't know he has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with him and it has been super
YES!!! That's exactly his name (Fergus Waylen) so many people have recommended highly about him and am just starting with him from Brisbane Australia
I'm familiar with Waylen. I've learnt invaluable insights from him, who generously shares his knowledge and experience to help beginners navigate the complexities of the market
I have no interest in buying a house, I think home ownership is overrated. I know renting is not ideal, but at least I'm not changed to a mortgage and not stuck in strip mall suburbia.
I actually enjoy what I do. My work isnt work to me, not a job. As a steward of our forest lands, i harvest trees, mostly diseased and dead timber. Making the forest a healthier place.
We all just need to find something to do that we like thats pays bills. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it!!
As an old guy I don't really blame young people for that. The economies of the global west have been on the decline since the 1970s or early 1980s and their, reasonable, expectations can no longer be met. Governments will claim that GDP keeps growing so all is good. Well, the wealthy have bought, through corrupt politicians, the tax laws and loopholes they want and those keep any growth in the GDP going to them. You did a very good covering this issue and I thank you for that.
I retired at 35 years old last year 2023. For me money does buy happy because money can buy back your time and pay your food, rent, utilities and why does people working because of money.
What kind of job did you do to have enough money for the next 40-50 years? Do you own you house/apartment?

When my former company laid off a worker who just became a father 3 weeks, ago, back in 2015, I realized then for the 1st time that corporate world was a scam. Almost 8 years later, I still have yet to get the kind of motivation to go to work but only go to work to pay my bills and support my family. It's no longer a goal to make the company I work for successful.
It sounds great the way she presents the information, but the problem is that I know these kids. I teach them everyday, they don't have 1/1000 of the work ethic necessary to run a successful business. Even running a Sole-Proprietor CZcams account would be too much, taxes alone would destroy them.
To be honest traditionally now it's not 9 to 5, it's any period of time of 12 working hours
Yep I work 8-7
i dont mind working i just feel like im working for nothing...feels like i can work to get anywhere
Nobody has ever wanted to work. If you did, you'd have to pay them to do it.
The problem with gig jobs, starting your own business, becoming an influencer, or content creator is that very very few are successful and even fewer are successful in the long term. It is extremely important to have a backup plan and assess the risks you can take before going that direction.
Pendulums are not an unstoppable force. When something is trending and popular the pendulum swings that direction, but there is always a counter force pushing back. That moving force always runs out of energy and the pendulum swings back in the opposite direction.
Work will be draining at times, but keep gaining skills and moving forward.
The gig economy took hits during the pandemic. After that, my side hustle hit rock bottom. What saved my ass was me living frugally anyway and my 9-5 job. I left my old and found a new one. Much better paid, great work environment but a lot of commuting. Things are very different in the twenties. The folks who just went 9-5 corporate have a financially stable life often also a stable relationship. They suffer differently though.
It also depends on what type of work you prefer more. Many of my friends, given the opportunity to have their own business or CZcams channel, for example, aren't interested at all. They prefer to work in a traditional job. On the other hand, I can't work for anyone - I absolutely hate it 😁, even if the pay is good.
Amazing wideo, i can semenów much effort you have put into collecting all of those informations. You are wonderful❤
People work jobs they don't like so they can progress in life. But they see the opposite happening. They're working harder while the money they earn doesn't stretch as far.
I knew I didn't want a 9-5 job while I was still in college. I am currently working one (fortunately one that treats their employees pretty well), but long-term, I want to do something more meaningful to me.
I've never wanted to work - with the exception of a few bar jobs while at uni, I've always created my own work. Quality of life is paramount for me.
Thank you for your informations . That's great.
a lot of trues in this video
and yes work with something that's meaningful can be very very rewarding
thankyou👏👏👏
Money may not buy happiness, but it can sure buy power and freedom.I want to work. I get bored if I don't work. It gives me a sense of satisfaction doing something that is needed, and benefits others; providing a service. : )
I feel like people who say money cant buy happiness havent lived in the real world / survived on their own.
THANKS
It's a very motivational topic. I learned new information. I appreciate it 😇
THIS IS SO VERY TRUEEEEEEE🎉🎉🎉🎉
The "pandemic" and the lockdowns messed us up. We hardly talk about it now and we like to pretend that nothing ever happened, but it was a big deal. We are still dealing with the mental trauma of that psy-op.
If you look at labor productivity statistics graph from 1900 to today it is like climbing mount Everest, it goes up and up, but compensation is barely dragging behind. Where are all these money? Well DIFFERENCE between your avg salary and salary of CEO grown x300 times. All money are in pockets of rich. Meanwhile I`m working 12 hours a day just to make a living.
loved this video. so true.
100 years ago people were BEGGING for work of any kind just to feed themselves. Jobs weren't always so abundant, be thankful for what you have and try to make the most of it. This girl didn't say anything CNBC hasn't said a thousand times over.
A musician who does a 'gig' is paid by the event or bar for that one performance. A CZcamsr is just a contractor working for CZcams. CZcams can change the terms of their profit model anytime they want and you either have to adapt to help CZcams stay profitable, or you quit CZcams. An Uber driver is not really doing a 'gig' because their whole job being an Uber driver means staying under the umbrella of the Uber platform. Independent taxi drivers are normally considered illegal depending on the rules.
Demand and demanding are the problem. On one side you have companies that are in demand for top quality employees and on the other side, you have demanding employees. Both can't work harmoniously for long and when one or both don't get what they must have, they must part!
Your goal in life should to be indifferent to money and that means having so much you can build your own infrastructures ie healthcare, retirement and debt. Your realize that these three all come from the government for most but for some few they are privately funded...so having no debt, having to not rely on social security and being healthy or at least able to pay for your healthcare needs is what we all need to strive for
That was fun, you covered a lot of ground. tHanks for the video!
LOL!! Kids don't want to work today because they all 'think' they're going to be huge social media stars!!!
I just started working a second full-time job - 15-hour work days. I feel like I’m pissing my life away and neglecting my family. I don't have a choice because I can barely pay my bills and support my family.
I live between the USA and Europe, a European can't even become to fathom the horror of the American workplace and society at large, as well as how incredibly expensive everything is here (and low quality). Also if you live in a low income country, knowing English/languages is an asset, but for Americans, you can't compete wagewise with someone in Eastern Europe or anywhere else, so languages are useless. There just isn't the hope for Americans that there is for Europeans and people in countries where work is outsourced to or has a social safety net and good labor laws.
I'm sick of the trope 'money can't buy happiness'. That's how I was raised, and it's catastrophically false!
If money doesn't bring you happiness, you're doing it wrong. It's *your* fault, not the money's. Educate yourself and learn how to use it wisely.
And be f*cking grateful, if you happen to have money, because it *does* make everything easier. No excuses. No shifting responsibilities.
I left full time corporate workforce in 2022 after about 8 years with a strong personal commitment to never go back no matter what (open to part time work at an org) it takes even if I have to drain every penny I have until I solidify my entrepreneurial path and a life that is less dependent on the typical work structure. Eventually will buy a small patch of land, live, grow food on it, and simplify my life.
Hi Veronika. I love your videos 😊 saluditos ✋😉
So many young people understand easily, what the Boomers just do not want to see. Time for this enlightened younger generations to take the lead, time for re-imagination of society and work. (I'm a GenX btw)
Your lighting is great!
For me im just tired of working with toxic people. Theres always some douch bag asshole at work, whether that’s the boss, coworker, or customers. After years of it it really can take a toll on you. I don’t care I just want it to end, AI can have our jobs haha
Hi!Corporations not only find legal loopholes to ignore workforce regulations, but actually creating this loopholes. They influence/change the law for their own benefit. And corrupt politiciants no longer represent the wish of voters/citizens, because this corporations can pay more for them. The whole system is rotten. And if you donot go and work for them, they will import millions of migrants who will do so.
After 45 years working I want to walk away now I’ve had enough of Groundhog Day and the fact that so many people don’t seem to work and still have cars phones money ect . I’m old school I hate how the world has become. Too many people too many cars for a start !
March into the workforce only to realize "Hey, this sucks." Always has. That is why they call it work.
I didnt work full time since 2012 until now i have no work but i survive once you have your own ricefield,fruits and veggies.
New subscriber always watching your videos very interesting❤ thank you for sharing ,me too don't want to work anymore.
If people, especially men, are motivated they will work hard, day after day. Work makes you feel good in the sense that you accomplished something and provided for yourself or others.
I'm over 50. I quit a very well paying job and went back to working for myself and building a team offshore to work remotely. The main reason, IT NO LONGER MAKES SENSE TO WORK HARD. Given the rapid decline in purchasing power due to money printing in most Western countries and the increased tax burden, why would I work 40-60 hours a week for less and less every year while I'm priced out of the market due to said money printing and new laws.
For example...why would I or anyone work 10 hours a day to pay say 50%+ in income taxes and source deductions, pay 19% sales tax, 70% taxes on gas and diesel, property taxes, tire tax, road tax, liquor tax, tax on tax on tax....where I'm left with 25% of my gross pay in an environment where inflation outpaces salary increases by 7-10% until I'm 67. Only to get a pension that won't pay the rent for decent apartment in most cities. Meanwhile, what little freedoms I have left are being eroded to put me into a virtual digital prison were everything I do is monitored and I'm punished for saying "I'm not loving it" or being an obedient servant to a political class that hates its citizens and are being paid to rob and enslave them. Think I'm exaggerating....move to Canada or an EU country like Germany.
Nope....I'm enjoying the decline and working less. F%ck-em.
Businesses have been playing short and sh1tty with the social contract for decades. The pandemic was the just the final loss of credibility: the way our workplaces behaved revealed to us that they would literally rather we died than reorient themselves to a business model that didn't prioritize growth at all costs. Add to that the insane consolidation of economic power and a job market that will require objectively insane levels of pre-qualification for a job that you could have walked into with a resume and a plucky attitude 35 years ago, it's no wonder people are done. This is despair, not rebellion. Rebellion is a lot uglier and significantly more violent.
I want to say something to the first point: inflation and salaries. The quantity theory of money is wrong in the short term but correct on the long run. If central bank „print“ money (they create it out of thing air) the money base rise. Nothing happens to the consumers. As soon as something happens on markets (war heat ever) where price demand equilibrium is disturbed. Now there is a much bigger money base that can „bid“ on products and services. Prices rise dramatically until the new equilibrium is met. This is called high inflation rate periods. Check M2 money base and the current supply. Prices will not go down where the have been. Inflation rate will go down again, but this only means the new higher prices will only rise slower. Salaries on the other hand will only be increased AFTER inflation already happened. And the rises depend on a statistical basked which is highly manipulated (check it yourself). This means you‘ll not get a full compensation of inflation which makes you poorer. But where is the rest of the inflation hidden? Simplify answer: in assets. Big money knows how the money systems works and our fiat currencies are not rock solid. So everything else can become money: stocks, real estate, gold, silver, bitcoin. There you‘ll find the answer why so many people can‘t afford a house anymore, especially young people which don‘t have any assets. There was a chance to generate a lot of wealth. This was at the beginning of the pandemic where all assets went down (check stock markets). People who went „all“ in are now in a complete different situation. For the rest: the ship has sailed. Now we have a new situation. Central banks try to bring inflation down with high interest rates. This makes is more difficult to buy a house. On the same side companies struggle and are less willing to hire new staff or to rise salaries significantly… As you can see: the situation has many layers and is difficult. We can only say: it‘s not going to become better. Study the money system! How does „fiat“ works. How did money work in the past and what was money. Then study principals of economy… Then understand what is an asset and what is a liability… this will change your life…
Unbelievable 😍
Things have changed...Its hard to get a job now (especially remote) unless its low pay or retail etc....
I was an early adopter. I do work, but nothing too crazy. I'm picking up a bit more work and trying to start a side project I like.
Couldn't do that if I was working my ass off.
We want live so soft that in pursuit of them we're about to make our own lives very hard for no reason
Hard work won't buy you the lifestyle it did in the past. So younger people think what's the point? Besides, nobody WANTS to work anyway. It's sadly what we must do to survive in this death culture. I'd rather spend my time doing what I want rather than spend the best part of my waking life going through the motions. Theres even less incentive to work hard now.
I agree Money will not buy happiness. Burnout is real. I make good money but my job is draining my health and I had to stop and think my high paying job isn't worth it, I'm looking for a job that I would like and will be more than willing to take a pay cut
I will love my job!!!
Please. This is every generation. Of course no one WANTS to work. You work because you have to pay for things. Every generation goes this 'I hate my job. I hate working' things. Some people enjoy their jobs and don't mind going to work. I know a server who LOVES her job and has been it for decades. I have had jobs I didn't mind and jobs I hated. But there are bills to pay, so I work. Mostly, people would like to be treated fairly by their employer, have flexible hours and better benefits (of which time off is a part of). Currently, I have a job I don't mind (not love), but I have a really wonderful supervisor who is flexible and tries to be sure everyone has the work/life balance they need. I am lucky. It only took 40 years for it happen. Yeah - buckle up, Cupcake. you have a lot of working years ahead of you.
Good information. i am watching from Pakistan
show bubs
It’s not that people down want to work, people want a balance for work and life. People want to be appreciated, people aren’t appreciated anymore by their employers. Very little incentives for going “ above and beyond “, pay rises rarely happen, companies pay the bare minimum award rates.
A lot of people are in poor health now and there is no allowance for breaks. Health is expensive so it is hard to justify making it worse with no rest point in sight.
We have been manipulated. Intuit coined the phrase Gig Economy for a reason. It serves them in a big way. I retired from Intuit in 2017. All of this is social engineering. There is nothing inherently wrong with a gig job. There are benefits and drawbacks. I have done both types of jobs. The wrong thing it assume is that his is organic. It is not. The corporations will still be the winners.
No good joining a Company for employment and straight away wanting to join the management ? Any work , is to settle down and work for wages to get yourself ahead , in life .
Doesn’t make sense to work as they continue to print money the money your working for has less and less purchasing power, we are being taken for a ride
Toxic and overbearing co-coworkers are one the main reason for me!
money bring happy in certain points in life not all the time..
Bless you. I'm a gen-X'er/millenial, and it annoys me so much when boomers complain about your generation's attitude toward work (and avocados, etc). Your generation really doesn't have it easy. I myself am lucky enough to have a job that I love and that pays the bills. It's in academia, but given my field, I could easily go into industry. But I don't see the point. Even if I earned twice what I earn now, it wouldn't make my (material) conditions much better, given how out of control the cost of living is. Good on you.
That’s right ,just up on life. I must agree companies are not loyal to employees and offer no pensions as they did 30 years ago and the stock market isn’t the same , the guarantee of 8%-10% doesn’t exist anymore, more volatile than ever, and with the recession/inflation things cost a lot more. I wouldn’t want to be in my twenties starting life in this present world let alone raising a child. Children are expensive and are exposed earlier than ever to controversial subjects like gender confusion, and lgbt.

Haha great stuff.
Except that I don't hate my job and it pays fairly well for what I do. I'm fortunate to work where I do.
Not one wanted to work before either, but they typically couldn’t get away with not working. When I realized I couldn’t tolerate having a job anymore I became a barber, but the only reason I could afford to be a barber was because I didn’t care if everyone looked down on me for living in my parent’s basement. I just stayed there until I inherited the house. Eventually I got used to the fact that men’s haircuts are not an absolute necessity like food, for instance. I became an expert on identifying all of the potential customers who would never come in such as bald men who shave their heads themselves, and all of the pony-tail assholes who never cut their hair except to chop off the end of the ponytail. Then also I could also recognize whether or not men went to a barber instead of a beautician. Incompetent haircuts with no tapering or fading were quite obviously done by beauticians who most men won’t allow to touch their hair. Apparently some of them don’t care or else prefer to have a woman rubbing up against them to increase her tip. You can’t win. Even if self-employed you still have to take crap off of your customers sometimes. But anything is better than the merchant marine where you’re stuck at work for months without a day off. And if you work less than 12 hours per day, 7 days a week, you’re considered lazy and get put off of the ship at the next American port.
Work life balance is why I retired. I loved the work but was tired of being asked to work overtime and not given much vacation time to recharge.
Has anyone ever read "In praise of idleness " by Bertrand Russell ? I recommend it to those watching this video.
And you
