It's true. I used to try so fucking hard at my last job, went the extra mile every day and put in so much effort. None of it was noticed, no reward, no thank you. I was still micro managed hard and told off for the tiniest things whilst my coworkers did half the work I did and yet got more praise than me. Learnt my lesson, now I just do my job as it states in the description.
When i was working at a call center i had this lady told me the classic "I'm gonna get you fired!" And my response was "how kind of you to do me that favor"
I wish that was me, I haven’t been paid $110.70 and I get paid $9.95USD an hour and my pay that I should receive for shifts worked doesn’t come through for 4 weeks and I’ve already waited 2. Gotta love retail
only if they are being paid above minimum wage, otherwise it is minimum effort, if you want your workers to care about the job give them a reason to care@@bearwitty9690

I know I'm late to the party but there are PLENTY of us tail end boomers [1963] that are struggling RN with having to work less because of medical issues that require time to care for. We're a smaller population than our peers so we're not always eager for attention. I'm riding with the young ppl.
@@TypeOneg The Case for Free Healthcare and College in America: Learning from Global Models Introduction: The United States, often regarded as a global economic powerhouse, stands out among developed nations for its absence of universal free healthcare and college education. In contrast to several countries that have successfully implemented such systems, the U.S. faces challenges related to accessibility, affordability, and equity in healthcare and higher education. This essay explores the compelling reasons why America should consider adopting policies that provide free healthcare and college education, drawing insights from successful models in other countries. Body: Healthcare as a Basic Human Right: Access to quality healthcare is universally recognized as a basic human right. Countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia have implemented universal healthcare systems, ensuring that all citizens have equal access to medical services. In the U.S., the absence of a comprehensive healthcare system leaves millions without adequate coverage, leading to disparities in health outcomes. A move towards free healthcare would address these inequities and contribute to the overall well-being of the population. Preventive Care and Public Health: Free healthcare systems emphasize preventive care, reducing the burden of chronic diseases and promoting overall public health. By offering affordable healthcare services, countries like Sweden and Germany have effectively managed health risks and achieved better health outcomes. In the U.S., a shift towards free healthcare could prioritize preventive measures, reducing the strain on emergency services and improving the overall health of the population. Reducing Financial Barriers to Education: Countries such as Norway, Denmark, and Germany have recognized the societal benefits of providing free higher education. In America, the rising cost of college tuition has led to a significant burden of student loan debt, limiting access to education for many individuals. Introducing free college education would break down financial barriers, ensuring that education remains an equalizer and a pathway to economic mobility. Global Economic Competitiveness: Nations with robust social systems, including free healthcare and education, often boast higher levels of innovation and competitiveness. For instance, Germany's dual education system has contributed to a skilled workforce and economic success. By investing in education and healthcare, the U.S. can foster a more competitive and resilient society, preparing its citizens for the challenges of a rapidly evolving global economy. Social Cohesion and Equality: Universal healthcare and education foster social cohesion and reduce socioeconomic inequalities. Countries like Sweden and Finland consistently rank high in measures of social equality. In the U.S., adopting similar policies would contribute to building a more inclusive society, where access to healthcare and education is not determined by one's financial status. Conclusion: The experiences of various countries around the world demonstrate that free healthcare and college education are viable and beneficial options for societies. By embracing these models, the United States has the opportunity to prioritize the well-being and future prospects of its citizens. Implementing comprehensive healthcare and education policies would not only address existing disparities but also contribute to the nation's long-term prosperity and global competitiveness. The time has come for America to learn from successful international examples and take bold steps towards securing the health and education of its people. Here is a list of some countries with universal healthcare systems: 1. United Kingdom 2. Canada 3. Australia 4. Sweden 5. Norway 6. Denmark 7. Finland 8. New Zealand 9. Italy 10. France 11. Germany 12. Switzerland 13. Japan 14. South Korea 15. Israel SHARE!
@@svcolonel89 and by "they" you mean both conservative *and* liberal media? Because both have reported on quiet quitting. And of you think they both agree on it, you are truly insane.
I was working a full time job and could not move out of my poor living situation. When I talked to friends, I found out that many of them worked 2 jobs, 16 HOURS every day, even on weekends and holidays, and they still had to share an apartment with at least one other person. For rented, one bedroom, crappiest places on the market. There’s no pay anymore. I don’t even know how I can live.
@@cjphights8324 They already expect us to handle the checkout. Cheaper to put in six self-checkout machines and pay one sorry fuck to check receipts than to pay six cashiers.
I said as much to management when they rejected a pay rise for everyone. Said that they’ll just end up spending a fortune training clueless newbies while their experienced employees leave through sheer frustration and for a higher salary elsewhere. The company will end up sh*t as a result
This is what I love about my current job. My boss wanted me to take on significantly more work, HOWEVER, he also raised my salary significantly to compensate for it, nearly doubling it. It's not that people don't want to work anymore, they don't want to be exploited anymore. Pay for the work you want, not the work you think you can exploit from someone.
Depends, my last job had better pay, better benefits, and treated people better than an amazon warehouse nearby (and according to someone who came to that place, we also had easier metrics), but they still couldn’t keep people. The main downside was long hours, but after like 2 years you’d be taking in six figures needing no experience or even a high school education, and that’s before incentive pay, holiday bonuses, or company stock compensation.
@@walkermorales337you mind telling me what that job is? If it's intense physical labor that's not surprising because even of the pay is good it'll take a toll on your body, some peoples body get used to it while for others it gets harder and harder for the body to handle. Like there's a pizza place and they used to have a person who would come in the morning and do the dough, eventually after a month his hands started to hurt and he couldn't handle it anymore.
@@jaydenliberty9536 surprisingly enough it was mainly due to OT. We’d get hit with a bunch of OT around holidays like Memorial Day, so we’d lose some people, and because we’d be down a few people we’d have even more mandatory OT for the 4th of July resulting in more people to quit. It’s a self perpetuating cycle of being understaffed in a way. The supervisors were pretty chill, they’d let you move around your days off for family events or if you wanted to see a concert or something, I’ve switched my days off like 3 times, and they were all approved. I haven’t heard of them not approving a switch. Also if you’re going though stuff at home (stuff that doesn’t qualify for bereavement as that’s a separate thing) they would let you go home early or take a day or two off if you ask for it. Some people just don’t like to work long hours, or a warehouse job just isn’t for them, I personally left to finish up my education.
Literally just quit yesterday. Got injured and they kept pressuring me to come in and saying that I “can’t just call out because you don’t feel like working.” Mind you, I’m in a brace, and have crutches. Like. Visibly injured. Not lazy. Anyway got an acceptance letter from a better place, with nicer managers and better pay. See ya~

I hurt my back really badly, to the point where I could barely move… My boss was super chill and understanding (he’s a great guy), but my Christian-Conservative family’s reaction to me barely being able to function and only capable of working part time was “Kids these days just don’t wanna work!”
Fr I had the same issue working at Amazon. My back was fucked up from me spraining my tailbone and the doctor said I couldn’t be lifting more than like 6 pounds. The managers there couldn’t grasp why I wasn’t able to lift all of the heavy ass packages and filled shipping bags. They eventually put me on medical leave and I just never went back in or answered HR’s phone calls (there were times I did answer for just a couple second and staying silent and fuck with em lmao.) cause management, had been screwing everyone that wasn’t a favorite. This went on the entire time I was there, but it 100% had been going on long before that.
this has and will always confuse me. like i get the whole “leave in good peace for referrals to other jobs and what not” but if you’re considering quitting on the spot you’re clearly not expecting to use them as referrals so idk why that point is made every time. if they can fuck over your entire life, and all you can do is fuck a day or two of theirs, clearly there’s an imbalance in the importance of who leaves what without notice. so quit without notice people. it’s not like they really cared about you if they will fire you on the spot.
In my country both parts have to notice before, unless it's your fault that the fired you, like, idk, you stole something. Now, most companies when firing people don't want them to be there anymore, so they just pay you the time and tell you to not go.
Most places will not just fire employees at random without regard, it will cause other workers to resent them & hurt morale. Now that everyone posts everything online, all grievances go public. Going to work with that attitude should get you fired, cuz it shows in the lack of effort. If you want more money work harder, you negotiated pay when you took the job so walking in whenever you want just hurts your coworkers. They usually have good reason to fire you, if they gave you notices many ppl would do spiteful crap & show out.
I quit my last job bc I bent over backwards for them and the one time somebody lied and didn’t show up to cover my shift after they agreed to take mine, I was threatened w/ a write up. I expressed that it’s not my responsibility to babysit my other ADULT coworkers and I’m not responsible for their behaviour and I quit on the spot. I’m not gonna be exploited to come into work while vomiting bc YOUR supply staff lied to me and refused to text me back. That’s not my problem.
In reality if you didn't get the shift change approved by management, then it absolutely IS YOUR responsibility. Management doesn't magically know you asked someone to come in for you. They look at the schedule and see YOUR name. That's on YOU. 🤷♀️
@@cassthompson3386why do you need to find someone to cover your shift? That sounds like it’s managements job. At my last job all we had to do was to call out an hour before our shift started and that was it, and continue to call out each day you miss and to call in on the day you can come back to work.
I'm 23 and working in retail, and I can confirm this is all true. Every single store I have worked at has been understaffed, which means that they expect people to do more work to make up for it. They expect two people to run and entire god damn grocery store, and then corperate refuses to give more hours for more people because they think "hey, if it works with with two people, then why change it?!" And then the store manager has to work like 12 hours shifts nearly every fucking day. It's genuinely disgusting how the current work force is.
@@darienb1127My last workplace was a 'team' of 14-16 people, the only time there was 3+ people in the store, was opening, someone new was being trained, or from 2-6PM, during kitchen prep time, the supervisor wanted the (only) person watching the register, to spend 30 minutes in the walk in cooler, as well as front the shelves and check expiration dates. If we had a third during closing hours, it would've been not as hard to get everything done to close and get out on time.
bro i work 12+ hour shifts as a general contractor 5 days a week. regardless of weather. oh and spend over 400 in gas a week "JUST IN ON JOB DRIVING." and get paid 15h. fuck i need to quit
I still remember handing in my resignation letter and my boss saying "you know it's not professional to leave without two weeks notice" and I told her "nothing about this grocery store is professional" 😂
I used to work at Target as a cashier in college (and I graduated in 2020 so it wasn't even that long ago). My team lead didn't like me because she said I never "applied" myself enough. She expected me to bust my ass and go above and beyond for $11/hr (this was before they raised it to $15/hr) while having to deal with customers and their attitudes 5 times a week for 8 hours a day. The breaking point for me came when she pulled me aside and gave me "the talk" again because a customer complained that I didn't speak to her 2-month old baby...A FUCKING 2-MONTH OLD BABY. She tried to give me a compliment sandwich saying I was lazy but I was always punctual (most of the cashiers I worked with would use every excuse in the book to avoid coming in and working the register) which is why they didn't want to let me go because they needed people who were reliable and always came to work but I needed to work on how I spoke to people even if they were rude to me first. Then she wrapped it up by saying, "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." I went home and resigned. Bitch you won't be seeing me tomorrow or any other day. Lmao fuck you and fuck this job.
@@InfiniteBumblebee337 Just get a diploma dude, haha. What do you mean you can't afford to attend a university worth a damn on minimum wage? Just have the initial money lol! What do you mean you can't get a loan with a non-heinous interest rate because being poor is hard and that one time you missed a car payment ruined your credit rating? Just don't be poor! We can all clown on Gender studies, but your comment just does not work in the current organisation of the world... perhaps if there was a UBI someone might feel safe enough upgrading their life but if you think attaining most trainings is something everybody can do either you were either born into incredibly lucky financial situation or are incredibly stupid.... or you may just be a neckbeard who's never had a job spouting some shit you've heard online but I'd never assume the worst straight away.
Yeah im hearing CONSTANTLY that the best way to get pay bumps is hop jobs every couple of years. Hiring bugets always have a larger budget than retention (raises) budgets.
They tell you "here we're a family." But it's the type of family that would have a member treat you wrong and the other family members say you need to forgive because "family." They want to pay you a meager salary that barely, and sometimes doesn't, cover the cost of living but expects you to go above and beyond. They tell you you're an important member of the team but treats you like a peasant working for royals. They act like asking for a raise is an insult. Isn't working for them payment enough?
That is wawa 😂 here in florida it was the worst got cussed out by the boss cus i wasnt fast enough like i have cerebral palsey your lucky i got half this cooler done in an hour let alone the whole thing 😂
It‘s the biggest red flag during a job interview, but most learn it the hard way. Blunt truth is, you go for the job because you need the work experience and the money. No work experience, no job, so where do you start without having any? From scratch…And knowing how to act during a job interview is also a matter of experience, some people just don‘t have the courage to be bold and standing their ground right from the start, wasn‘t any different with me. Getting a raise on your wages is also a matter of confidence, it‘s not necessarily the most productive ones, who succeed, mostly the ones, who are good at self marketing.
I remember growing up the older generation would tell me that I had to provide 2 weeks notice when I was leaving a job. The moment I was fired from one of my jobs I knew I wasn't gonna continue doing that. Because how do you expect me to give you 2 weeks notice to find a replacement yet don't give me 2 weeks notice to find a new job?! Also they would say that "I wouldn't be able to find work if I just quit a job" that was clearly another lie. I've quit many jobs for various reasons and I have 2 careers under my belt that I can do anywhere at anytime. Never have I ever been hurt for work. Don't let these people lie to you just so they can keep you around for labor you're being underpaid and underappreciated for. Do NOT be afraid to stand up for yourself. There are other opportunities out there and you will find your way ❤
My mom told me, "the reward for good work is more work," and honestly it taught me to only put effort into a job I want to continue doing, because if I do well at a task at work, I'll be expected to do it every time with no additional pay. If I hate that task, there's not need to put extra effort into it to impress my boss; I'll never be financially rewarded for it, and that task will become my responsibility.
I have had a philosophy for years: There are 3 levels of pay in any job-paid to show up, paid to work, paid to care. Most of us are barely paid to show up at this point.
Same, literally so many jobs right now offering pretty much the exact same pay I'm getting now. Used to be if you got fired you'd be unemployment for months before a job opening. Now I can get fired/Quit and go to an interview the same day.
Being fired now days is like ohh nooo a chance at a better jobbbbb. What ever will I dooo? I think that everytime some one complains about something out of my contorll where i work when they say Im going to report you :0 for something you cant control.
I don't have job offerings but fuck itttt Im not gonna beg n cry or get pissed off they fired me fuck em carry on with life better opportunities coming your way
Jordan speaks the truth, we got a new owner at my job and he was a total ass and didn’t pay us for 3 weeks(two pay periods). Some college students had to have their parents pay for their rent and tuition cause they didn’t have the moneyWe had messaged him asking when we’d get paid and some people didn’t have payroll set up yet with the new system and he wouldn’t respond to their messages about it. He blamed us for not making enough money at the store and tried to change the hours all weird so that literally none of us students could even work till the weekend. He also was going to make it so we’d work alone(that’s a safety issue, what if something happened). So we all said screw it and quit, not even a two weeks notice. He lost 14 employees in 48 hours and the stores probably gonna shut down now. Honestly I should feel bad but I just don’t care, he should’ve taken accountability for his actions instead of blaming us for all his problems. The worst part is he’s the franchise owner, like he owns the entire corporation and he’s an ass
@@reinertgregal1130Try to find legal representation pro bono. Make calls to as many law firms/attorneys as you can. I know that in my area there's 1 pro bono firm for immigrants. Someone has to see that if that franchise owner has to sell his franchise in order to pay then that's what has to be done.
@@mosseon3456 Exactly! You don't get paid to "care" about what you do, you get paid to just do your job. Nobody said you had to care about the customers feelings. This generation squeals in anger whenever their boss asks them to do even the bottom of the barrel BARE minimum. "Waaaah! I was told what do do! I'm going to quit and become an entrepreneur". *Becomes idiot door dasher the next week who acts like they've never shopped before*. The amount of door dashers who demand I do THEIR job because they're too stupid to follow simple directions and too lazy to use their eyeballs and legs is infuriating. I don't get paid to do anyone else's job. Just my own. Meanwhile ole Rodney and Moesha get to come and go as they please. They don't do anything at work at all. Not even the minimal tasks because it "sounds too hard" (apparently reading is "too hard") and then when they choose to be lazy and do nothing they bitch and moan that they're bored! These kids are equally, if not more, ridiculously over demanding than the bosses they claim ask "too much" from them. They want a minimum of $20 just to show up and sit on their asses playing on their phones and being rude af to everyone for interrupting their Instagram scrolling. They push any and all labor onto other people and act like having a job is equivalent to slavery while wanting OTHERS to serve them (for free) everywhere they go. All these people quitting are NOW crying that they want cashiers back because they're too dumb and lazy to know how to work a self checkout. So they get attitudes with the companies and employees who actually bother showing up like "Why don't you ring me up!?" Because, KAREN, these people are assigned to self checkout to help you, not ring you up. And even if they were allowed to ring you up I doubt they'd do it anyway since some have the same "quiet quitting" attitude. If nothing gets done then people won't be able to get the products and services they need because people want to be spiteful. "No I just want to be paid fairly!" $15-$20+ an hour to sit on your ass and do nothing ISN'T fair pay. It isn't fair to those of us who have all the work dumped on us by lazy morons who think simple tasks are "too hard". If the workload were to be spread evenly between people who actually WORK then we'd all be getting fairly paid.
@@mosseon3456 Ah yes because the main motivation for working is not because you love your job its cus you dont wanna die. This is why we SHOULD have things like welfare and stuff because if people actually liked their jobs and didnt have to worry about literally dying from being poor then people would work better and be generally happier since humans have a natural incentive to work and serve each other.
@@supereggtartersauce6464 Being motivated by government handouts "and stuff" (that you are paying for via taxes while losing purchasing power through inflation) is the death of self sufficiency. Promising happiness isn't something the government can do, especially when people will always ask for more. I'm all for trying to fix the monetary system, but we need some standards and mindset changes too
@@supereggtartersauce6464 want to know the ultimate silver bullet secret technique? its simple. find the job where you do the absolute minimum and then screw around instead of actually working. One good example would be joining a very large corporation as a programmer. Many programmers contribute little to nothing to the projects they are on. You can just pretend to tweak the code and do nothing over and over again. Another great career track for do-nothings is security. If you carefully choose your security gig there are some very cushy ones out there. If you are willing to actually work a bit then I understand real estate is the maximum commission ppl get on sales. Good luck on your journey I hope you find what you are looking for
When I was 16 the wage for a server was 2.13 an hr. Plus tips. NOW I'm 60 yrs old and it's STILL 2.13 an hour plus people these days who hardly tip. It's LUDICROUS!!!!! WHO does the govt. think they are anyway????? They're suppose to work FOR WE THE PEOPLE!!!! What a joke they are indeed.
Wrong they won’t remember anything because the 2020s hasn’t been that bad god you people are ridiculous and dumb it’s amazing how you don’t know history
Same. If I work any harder, I’ll probably be given more work, or be asked to do co-worker’s cr@p for them. Mate I’m not doing your job, unless you’re giving me your wage
I'm a lawyer. They make it seem like you graduate law school and you are guaranteed a 6 figure starting salary. That's only true of you start at an elite firm and even then, you sacrifice your life to do it. Most of us are just people grinding along and trying to make a living while paying our student loans. Older attorneys talk about their loans and how they paid it within 5 to 10 years out of law school. It's been 20 years for me. We got screwed. We start in tremendous debt and have very little to show for it. I feel bad for those younger than me.
Last week I quit my job. I was a Network Administrator, and I was losing money just going to work, having to use my savings to pay my bills. I was on call most of the time, and didn't get pay overtime everytime I work on the weekend. And most after-hours calls where around 1 or 2 in the morning. My boss really didn't seem to care much, but my coworkers did. I got a new job in a different state and pays double, and biweekly we have 3 days off. I think is a small win for me.
Worked at a mall Starbucks for over 7 years. The last two of those my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and we had terrifying er visits after a surgical procedure went septic and I called out. The district manager was new (and hated because she was a horrible person) and our new store manager was friends with the regional mgr..half our crew had walked out the first week we had mgmt changes because both new bosses were horrible an treated us like shit...mind you the majority of us had been at this store for YEARS. After my call out I let them know I would be back asap. I literally was 5 min late because I was coming back from a hospital visit and was pulled into the back and fired They were aware of my situation and said it was because I had a call out without more than 4 hours notice (the er day), I missed work even with ample notice and was late in a month period. My dad was literally dying and I had a perfect record in the seven years I was there. I literally walked across the way and got a job at auntie Anne's IN LESS THAN 15 MIN AFTER I WAS FIRED. The Auntie Anne's mgr was like we as you working, you are always doing a great job you can work here if you want...I was in my new uniform and facing my old work which was 15 away and straight across. The look on the Starbucks mangers faces when they saw me working right across the way, right in the field of vision was hilarious and iconic 😆 I made sure to wave everytime I saw Starbucks mgmt and my old coworkers that stayed would yell they missed me and bring me coffee 😆
Go you! I currently work at a Starbucks with a selfish store manager. We had a barista who was still pretty young and she ended up getting pregnant. She tried to open up to our sm about it and told her about how she has been needing to make frequent bathroom runs because of the symptoms and our sm decided to just fire her, instead of offering her any help.
The capitalists have no choice. Reducing labor costs through low pay, understaffing, and skimping on utilities or social training, its the only way to secure more profit other than expand to foreign countries through imperialism. But still gotta do something about those workers at home, and most companies cant afford this anyway.
I straight up went to another company with my resume and had an interview done, got a job offer that would be a promotion from my current station and a significant raise, took that offer to my boss and told her that she needed to match this or I'm gone in two weeks. Two days later, I got a promotion and a raise to a salary greater than what the other company was offering. Be ruthless.
@@tired5, I would normally agree with you on this, I work for Pilot Travel Centers, they don't exactly have a line of people trying to be a TCGSM. I am at the starting salary for that position and still am subject to a yearly review and subject to a yearly pay increase based on said review. Know your contract of employment, work the jobs that no one else wants, and do it well. You are hard to replace.
@@poekpally, you are right, there is some risk involved. Taking risks is sometimes necessary to ensure you are being paid what you are worth. As long as you know beyond a doubt that you are a valued resource that they do not want to lose, you can get away with a lot. This is actually my third time working for the company and my former boss literally begged me to come back to work for her, and she will shamelessly tell anyone the same. Now we are equals managing our own stores.
I've explained to my boss that my performance at work is directly affected by the pay I receive. If he wants me to do more, or care more, all he has to do is pay me more.
I barely get paid enough to pay rent and feed myself consistently and they have the audacity to ask me to take on more responsibilities at my job. So I ghost them every time they call me
Its not just the younger generation. I’m GenX and trust me, I’ve figured out that exploitation is real. If you show that you are capable of a lot more work, they are gonna give it to you and then some! Don’t expect to get assistance if you truly need it because in management’s eyes, “you can handle it.”
I work in retail, I won’t receive my pay until 4 weeks when it was original supposed to be processed and I haven’t been paid $110.7 and I earn $9.95USD an hour. All this just to get yelled at by my managers about how my best isn’t good enough and customers because I couldn’t magically apparate something they didn’t even want to buy in the first place
YES THIS! They never reward hard work with more money, just with more and more work because you can “handle it and you’re so reliable “ that’s why I don’t go above and beyond anymore
see and thats when if i get a job and they pull that kind of crap i would do 1 of 2 things quit on the spot or i would ignore what they say and do the amount of work i was doing before. and just tell them deal with it you want me to do more pay me more thats how jobs work
Spot on true. I've experienced this everywhere I've worked. They are harder on the people who actually work. The lazy people get a pass. Oh, especially if they're friends with the boss.
You never have to put in 2 weeks....they tell you to so they can start looking for replacements mate. Unless you plan to go back or actually like it there and are moving to bigger things, just quit man. Also the guy in the beggining is either an AI voice or I got fooled 😂
@@Tortuga2223athe problem is that if you do that and don't go onto bigger things at that time and just need a job along the same line it'll fuck you over probably. Sometimes it doesn't matter, but it can. Last job I had though I couldn't take the management structure they were pretty much corrupt, but most jobs nah just take it up the ass and do the 2 week notice
👩🏾⚖️👩🏾⚖️👩🏾⚖️ We’ve heard the petition on the floor, and with over 800 votes in the affirmative, the petition is hereby granted and made to replace the current two-week notice procedure. From this date henceforth, the 12th day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-three, the official way to provide writ of resignation will be the two-envelope method: one envelope with a two-week notice, and a secondary envelope with “Just kidding I quit today.” We are adjourned for the day. **bangs gavel**
With what? Their pure laziness and pleading they're not paid enough? Haha give me a break. I'm part of this generation and this has to be the most lazy generation that doesn't care about work and gets the bare minimum done if that and just being social.
Maybe we have different bosses today, 40 years back it was like "we work hard, we party hard, we relax hard". Today its more like "we work hard and maybe we pay you"
Literally having to take companies to court to get paid for the time you already worked. Family Dollar withheld a few grand from my bf before we were together. He was finally paid his wages as part of a big settlement. Companies now don't hire enough people, make you work overtime, deny vacation or time off for death of friends and family, don't fix the registers so even taking people's money is difficult, yet expect you to work some of your hours for free.
@@kenderhearted I always get epic size rage when they talk about "we are a family" and "pride in working for this company"... All that is when your boss sells the car to pay you wage during an dry spell, not booting you the moment they earn less than 25% more than last year.

Saw a thing the other day, someone was discussing going for a job that paid like 40k a year or something, their boss walked by and said "Oh that's barely enough to live on!" to which they replied "...what do you pay us now?"
@@bobfranke2347 sure if the guy worked as hard to get the same lawn, but nope that greener grass was infinitely easier to get simple because he was born earlier. sadly all the lawn selection left has already been dead and brown before i ever learned to walk.
Got a job where they pay you decently and the hours are fantastic for me. 12 hours, three days at most, you get paid about 22 dollars an hour, very decent for a single person. Now if only rent wasn't so bad lol
Been like that forever. Back in the 80s, my sister was in critical condition in the hospital. My mom wanted two weeks off to stay by her as she recovered. Her boss told her, "You gotta pick: your family, or this job." She replied without hesitation, "I will ALWAYS pick my family," quit on the spot, and walked out of the store. This apparently was NOT what the manager thought she would pick, and she kept calling my mom, warning her not to make such a foolish mistake. Like, she truly was stunned that someone wouldn't pick their career (as much as a junior manager at Target is a "career") over their child's well-being. Nothing is wrong with this generation. They simply aren't stupid enough to think they NEED to put up with it. Owners and managers are just as crappy as they've always been, but Millennial employees are too fed up to care anymore. It doesn't even take being told "choose between your family or this job." They don't need THAT drastic of a sign that the manager truly doesn't give a damn about them. Anything will do to make them quit and go where they are appreciated. The system needs to change, not the workers. (Side note: The best part of that story is that my mom was the only person in the whole store who knew how some of the machines at the snack bar worked. She would come in at 5AM to get it set up, even on her days off, because she knew the kids loved the popcorn and hot dogs, and she loved making kids happy. So when she quit, no one had a clue how to make popcorn. Even the district manager called her, begging her to train a replacement. My mom said, "Y'all can wait, I'm with my daughter now." So the store had to close down their snack bar, losing hundreds in profit every day, until my mom decided to return. She was rehired, demanding double her last wages, and she taught someone how the soda machines, popcorn, hot dog warmer, and churro maker all worked. Last she heard, that person was also treated like crap, quit suddenly, she wasn't as cooperative as my mom about staying to train a replacement, so Corporate had to send someone out there. This time, the store manager was fired by the district manager, who had really liked my mom. Mom told me years later, the store manager had not wanted to hire her back, but the DM demanded it, threatening that if they didn't agree to all of my mom's demands for returning, they would hire my mother as the new store manager. My mom was amused, but said she would've refused such a position, as she wanted to spend more time at home.)
3 levels of managers seems to be a trend with absolutely garbage work systems. DMs seem to be competent more often despite the ratios of DM to Managers.
Department stores were never meant to have life long employees. This phenomena only started around the late 80's when things were good. People need to get back into the mindset of always stepping up the ladder and not settling. So many well paying actual careers out there need people. Nurses, engineers, almost every aspect of construction, road work, trucking (both dispatching and driving), all sorts of jobs that need degrees and a lot that don't. I always tell people to get the hell out of department stores, we need less of them anyway.
@Dizz the Nibbler 2 problems with that. 1: People often need a lot of time to find those jobs. Time you don't have if you're working one of the minimum wage jobs for a living. Or they lack time to get a degree. 2: There aren't enough of those jobs to go around. Plus for every engineering or nursing job that pays a livable wage, there's another 2 that underpay. And you can't just say "Go to the ones that do", cause a majority of people need that cash now. It isn't about changing the mindset to "move uo the ladder", which has been knocked down. No, it's about forcing the system we're in to enable easier access to livable wages. Improving education is part of that, cause there are a depressing number of public schools that don't teach up to code. And part of THAT is teachers universally getting underpaid. We've got a problem from the roots.
@@clayxros576 you also only concentrated on the jobs I mentioned that require college. You're helping back the mindset I'm trying to fix. Steps are steps, not leaps. Obviously you don't go from working a minimum wage job at some shitty super store, to getting a 6 year degree to become a nurse. However, getting a CDL is a lot quicker, a lot easier, and a local route still nets at a minimum around $28 an hour, and a max of around $38. You can also take 2-4 hour night courses for most of the jobs that require anything less than a degree. Edit: also, most courses from a tech school (also night available) will net jobs that pay on average 25-35 an hour. Sometimes more depending on what speciality.
@Dizz the Nibbler Your point about a CDL is valid, however the hours the DMV are open isn't always conducive to getting a CDL in their off time. I know cause I've done it, plus the studying required amd the delay in retesting. Oh, you also need a Letter of Intent from someone who is likely an employer. How is someone stuck in a dead end job struggling to make rent meant to obtain that letter, one of which is required for each test attempt? Legitimate question. As for night school, you forgot my point about time. Folks working department stores for a living usually work overtime or a second job just to pay the bills. Little to no savings is common. How would you suggest they fit study time into that when they still need to sleep? Cutting out that second job isn't an option for many.
I got fired from my career because my boss decided right before my drawn out 1.5 year probation period was up I wasn't a good fit. After doing the job for a year and a half. Immediately after, she stuck her buddy in my position. I've been looking for work and my two experiences so far have been a grocery store that made me wait half an hour at a checkout for someone to come get me for my interview & told me I needed to come back to ask about the status of the application and not call because "we just like that and it shows initiative". Second one ONLY wanted me to interview that day, before 5pm, so within hours, and if I wasn't available, they'll "keep me on a list". Jobs these days demand your literal life and 100% commitment for minimum wage. On top of that, only about 25% of places I've encountered are actually hiring full time because their cheap asses don't want to pay benefits. I know I'm going to have to take a pay cut from $26 an hour to minimum wage. Cherry on top is my car took a shit on me, so I have to try to find work in my 25k population town, rather than drive 40 min to my closest big city for work. It is so disheartening. I understand why people make a living of unemployment. I am 26, I went to college right after high school, worked multiple jobs the whole time, graduated with my bachelor's. I got good grades, was on the deans list, honor roll, etc. I did everything by the book, worked hard and stayed focused with the hope that I was setting myself up for success. And now I genuinely feel like that is wasted.
That’s why a lot of people don’t even go to college anymore. Wasting years of your time only to still have to work for pennies. It’s like they don’t want us to survive out here. It honestly sucks.
Explore the Trades if possible. Paid apprenticeship in most cases. Can lead to self employment. Learning a skill online is an option also. Keep your head up, our economy, the way we earn is shifting.
What's your degree in and what are you willing to do? Male nurse here. I loved being a CNA even if it was grueling and gross. But it make you a stronger person. Best part is they're are literally always hiring and it's usually a 6 week course. My job paid me to take the class. Unlimited overtime. 3 shifts to chose from. You will never not have a job in healthcare.
My job tried to tell us we could only have one break a day cause us using the bathroom was costing them too money. I quit the next day and now I’m chilling with my cat on a Monday morning.
That was me from 17-20 years old at my lifeguard job. I got passed over for promotions and other perks so many times. I stopped caring and eventually quit at the end of yet another garbage shift. Don’t regret it at all
My mom always taught me to be a "hard worker" and what that meant for her was work 90 hour weeks, and stay quiet. I did that at first - worked 30+ days in a row, worked whether I was sick or not (pre-covid when my boss would force me to waitress while sick), would fill in bussing shifts for $8/hr. then i got fired for being pregnant while i was struggling with an abusive relationship and i called out two days in a row bc i was bedridden from my pregnancy. i realized i could be a hard, reliable worker without taking that shit and sacrificing myself. and i wish i started sooner
@@Ashtor1337 i wanted to but i wasn't "allowed" to go to the doctor because it was during covid and my ex was afraid i would tell someone he was abusing me since he wasn't allowed in the facility/room with me
I can’t even begin to tell you how often I have snapped at work because no matter how hard I work those assholes continue to believe I am not doing enough. And I have only ever snapped… on supervisors.
In the 1960's my dad dropped out of high school, went to Vietnam, and then worked for a big electrical contractor. With that, he was able to buy a house, two cars, and afford a stay-at-home-wife with three kids. My interns work three jobs, live eight to an apartment, and graduate with $100,000 in student loan debt. My dad says they are all lazy.
It's crazy how the boss opened them in that order. For me they would have read "JK. I quit today" Before the 2-week notice, and that would have just been awkward.
I am an overly tired Millennial, just one day away from finding a bed that I will never get out of for the rest of my life. When I get the money for it.
I was looking at apartments and potentially qualifying for, basically, a government discount. I did the math. In order to make only x2 the rent instead of x3, I needed over 40000 a year. In order to qualify for the discount, I needed to make under 40000 a year.
@@Steven-T imo. Get rid of income taxes. But at the same time remove qualifications for many social programs. If your not paying into the system you dont get the benefits of it. Its a hassle but many people who are paying into the system still do not qualify for the benefits they need because they "make too much". Technically yes, they do "make too much" until its taken out by the taxes leaving them with not enough. Im tired of so many people having to Bypass the system just to get benefits they need or having to work under tables paying for people who don't work to get benefits.
I'm cool with it. All these shitty workers just make me, with a decent work ethic, look even better. Keep quiet quitting & doing the bare minimum. I'm reaping the rewards! Got an apprenticeship in a trade with no experience cause every young buck they hire stops showing up a few months in or they don't care about the quality of their work. I love it! Keep it up y'all. Literally raising my quality of life for myself & I didn't have to change a single thing besides being open to changing jobs.

I work in a scrap yard. I don’t deal with customers. I work my ass off all day? My boss complains about the safety of me overworking. I work less hard? He says I’m unproductive. He’s worked there for 6 months… I’ve worked at the company 6 years.
I gave my boss a card that sais "I'm sorry for your loss." on the cover and inside I wrote "It's me. I'm leaving in 2 weeks." He thinks I'm kidding ahahahaha 😂
i straight up quit for the first time a few years ago like no two weeks (grew up midwest with old values so weird for me) but it felt so right i was givng soo much and becuase i was such a hard worker my boss wanted me to do more cuz they were short staffed after a change of ownership before i got hired well i couldnt do more becuase college comes first( i mean i gotta use my debt to the fullest extent i can fml) and they started getting mad that id have to leave for school and its not like i sprang it on them they knew from the start i was in school and it mattered more so when that would stop and things got worse i just walked for the first time, most empowering thing i ever done helped more with my depression (for that day) than any drug ive taken haha
This new generation of workers have also heard stories of the bullshit their parents and grandparents went through and immediately said "not me tho, yall stay safe"
My parents taught me to work hard and have pride in my work. The whole “you get out what you put in” is truer than ever. Putting in 30 hours in a retail job is minimum effort and you will get compensated as so. From 18 until now I busted my ass and now I’m 24 with a job I love at 100k+ a year. I get insulted when people say “oh you’re just lucky” nah bro I busted my ass for 6 years and now I can take it easy for the rest of my life, meanwhile y’all just complained about stocking shelves and doing your jobs poorly lmao
@@Voltroc not putting up with toxic work environments, or poor treatment doesn't mean they're just working entry-level jobs 'their whole life' some of them could have better jobs or make more than you while being happier edit: your also really dumbing down a complex layered issue based on your opinions of a generatiion. Things like the economy can rapidly change how easy it is to live with minimum wage on top of whatever problems they could be facing at work. this was a really ignorant comment to make
frr my mom complained about my work ethic (i was still in school and passing everything) and she said she gives it 200% every day. i was like "fuck that that leads to burnout. work 80% and peoples expectations of you will be moderate and you have room to impress them" and she got SO MAD. on another occasion i took a sick day and she was like "i go to work sick i havent taken a sick day in 6 years" and i was like "baby you sell towels you probably gave like 20 people pneumonia and you still make less than your peers" smh. so yea hard work is exploited. acceptable work is the new hard work.
My husband worked at UPS for 2 years. UPS treats their employees like sh*t. Because they are unionized, the management (who is not unionized), harasses the drivers constantly. My husband was pulled into the managers office weekly for “violations” like being late…like 2 minutes late, not delivering packages fast enough (though they tell drivers in training, safety is more important than speed). He had a good relationship with the people he delivered too, so he would chat with them for a few minutes. Management follows drivers around to make sure they are “safe” (it’s BS because it isn’t about safety, it’s about trying to catch them not being fast enough. He never knew when he was getting home, and he had 0 work life balance. The union always protected him, but management would try to make him feel like sh*t by telling him, “well we pay you good, so you just need to put up with it”. I’ll never forget the day he put in his two week notice…management acted shocked. Doesn’t matter how much you pay, being harassed and never having a home life isn’t worth the money.
Left UPS after being a package handler 3 years, not by choice tho, but I *was* at the end of my wits. You don't lie. They treat loaders like shit, drivers as shit, and belt supervisors as utter dog 💩. I've heard those w/ seniority & union discuss how unapologetically they'll cuss out management thinking mngmnt can pull some shit younger people won't speak up against. I asked "Why you still work here???" Them, "Pension." One guy who's 10 years from retirement as a package handler / wash team did 70 hours peak 1 week, made ~$1300, cos of OT. Y'a need thick skin and a will outside that dump to make it. Certainly pays well, or did, before union talk / potential strike Aug 2023; but personally, I'm glad a place like UPS is never gonna be in heaven w/ God. I only say this cos in my belief the saints get to do awesome work for eternity to make earth thrive; UPS can burn in hellfire--corporate logistics really 🔥🔥🔥📦🔥🔥🔥---😊
The non unionized management aren't treated any better. They will give you one position , which you are being paid for, then assign you work from another position they don't want to have to pay anyone to do. So, you're doing two or three jobs, working 12 to 15 hours a day. You don't get paid extra for those extra hours. FMLA, is a battle to get so you can't take care of your ill spouse. Upper level management talks to you like s#*t and you can't complain because you AREN'T UNIONIZED. Meanwhile we've seen unionized workers not show up for a month, without calling in, get a letter for employment termination, show back up to work the next week, start working again and kept their job because they said they didn't get the termination letter. That happened often. Management would be gone if they did this crap. But, here's the thing, no employer, no business cares about you. Only the bottom line. The managers are getting brought into offices and yelled at by their managers, then they bring their supervisors in and it trickles down. You'd be hard pressed to find any business that treats their employees well. It may not be right but it's the way it is.
@@faithsaidthat it’s so sad that management isn’t treated well either. We have left many shitty jobs. Fortunately, both my husband and I work for great companies that put as humans first. But I know that’s not the case with most.
Same with Amazon delivery. Those loads get heavier and heavier, and those phones and vans are bugged more than an American politician’s iPhone when dating a Chinese spy.
I had a job that I gave up vacations, days off, worked most holidays. And when I left after 11 years in the same role and no career development, one of the people that I'd helped make rich off my time didn't care at all that I was leaving. I opened my eyes after that: never again will I give up anything for a job that doesn't reciprocate.
It is an equal transaction they pay you to do a job you did that job. Do you need a pat on the back or something to make you feel better? I'm pretty sure the company pays you for that vacation time, that your choice not to take.
What I hear from you is this. I made a choice to not take and use my benefits for I can produce more money for others. Seems like the issue here is you have a people pleaser type of personality. You allowed this to control you for 11 years. Now you are jealous that the person that you worked for got rich. They own the company so of course they are going to get rich. That like me saying I am upset I did all this work on these buildings to make other people rich. I am not upset that they are rich and have money off my work. I am upset they refused to give me more, when I asked many times. Doesn't take me 11 years to do this either. Takes me at most 2. So I leave them like the scum they are. Then they call me begging me back. I tell them to F off and if I see them again, I am going to put them in some dirt. If they won't pay you what you are worth, someone else will. I had another company try to hire me on for same wage I was making. I had 6 other companies willing to pay me 50% more. I told that one company to F off also. Scum is everyone and scum only has 1 thing in mind. How can they get richer. You need to approach work like this. You aren't their to help these people. You are their to make the most for yourself.
How I feel at my current job. I clock in at 7 because that's what time I start getting paid. The supervisor says I'm late. I said no.. y'all start paying me at 7am, so that's when I clock in. I don't let any boss/supervisor talk to me crazy. It's just a job and I can get another one
My mom worked I don’t even know how many years, in retail at Victoria’s Secret and she used to tell me all about the rude customers, I had one office job for three weeks as a student assistant, by third week I was done
Thank GOD someone said this. When I was young and dumb I hired on at Wal-Mart. They were setting up a new SuperCenter. They sent this guy from regional to tell us how he started as a People Greeter and is now regional manager! Whee!!! I hired in as a cashier but was helping out in GM receiving. I learned the hand computer in a day (no iPads back then!) and was up and scanning in new goods. I was so good that when UPC/Invoice became swamped I got sent in to help because they knew I’d learn the fastest. I became a filing BEAST. So, Store open day and I start working the register. I decided that I wanted to be a CSM so I asked a CSM the best way to get there. They said to learn every outlying register so I learned Service desk first. Learned that well enough after two hours that everyone but me could go to lunch. I was KILLING it! Couldn’t get a chance to learn jewelry, electronics, lawn and garden or sporting goods and I was getting frustrated. I’d been there a year, had a sterling reputation and was a hard worker. A friend told me that if I went to overnights I’d learn all the CSM codes and could learn the outlying registers as I closed them out for the night and I’d make a whole 50 cents extra per hour, too! OH BOY! So, learned the CSM codes in about 3 nights. Still wasn’t being taught outlying registers. Then, they began taking me off the registers to watch the front for the overnight people greeter. Okay. Losing hope. Then, a light! One of the ladies I’d worked with in UPC/Invoice was retiring! I told her I was angling for the job and she put in a good word for me. Weeks passed. No news. Finally I found out I hadn’t been hired and the person they HAD hired was from the deli and knew not the foggiest of what UPC/Invoice entailed. To add insult to injury they put ‘me on the doors every night and found a bullshit reason to try and fire me. They wouldn’t, though, if I wrote a 1000 word essay explaining why they shouldn’t. I walked out with a middle finger in the air. Trust no bitch, especially when they say they “prefer to hire from within” and like employees who are “motivated to move up in the company”.
They wanted you to write a fucking essay begging them not to fire you? After you’d gone above and beyond to learn all of the systems? How absolutely condescending. I probably would have taken them up on the offer and written a short, but sweet, “go fuck yourselves”. But, walking out middle finger in the air works too.
I used to work in a medical facility running the outpatient laboratory. I was efficient. So management gave me more tasks that I really was not qualified for. When I brought up either receiving a raise or slimming down my responsibilities the undertone of management's response was "if you aren't willing to do all of these duties we will find somebody who will." This same employer refused to give perfect marks on evaluation because there's "always room for improvement". I grew up with my parents telling me that as far as work is concerned, everybody is expendable.
I like this attitude to a degree. They're not taking any shit and kissing up to any boss. I also think that all the entrepreneurship that's been making headway has also contributed to this confidence.
I am so happy where I work now because I actually get treated with respect. Unfortunately I've had a lot of crap go down this year with my health and 2 family losses. My boss sat me down one day and genuinely asked if I was ok, I said no and bursted into tears, she then offered me 6 free counseling sessions through the company. THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT STAFF 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Same here. My boss believes he has to give good worker's a reason to stay or he gives them a reason to leave. So if we have record profits for the month. We get cash bonuses. He'll also pick us up on a Friday night for dinner and a all we can drink bender. We get Christmas bonuses. Pay raise every 12 months etc. Once your a shit worker. All that go's away
man I'm starting to realize it all just traces back to the saying "people should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of their people"
Thank God I have a job that I enjoy doing. It's pretty much my job, my cats, and edibles that keep me happy. If not I'd jump because I do not care anymore.

Its true. Im payed 13 an hour and they expect me to kick my own ass. They pay the temps 18 buck for stalking shelves at a leisurely pace. Pro tip: if they tell you not to talk about your wages with other employees, find another job
Imagine living in Mexico and being paid 16 dollars a day, 12 hour to complete day worked x 4 to 5 days at week... and that's if you're lucky, have a nice butt and charisma so you don't get fired
Sound like the problem is boss also sees that not a good worker, and thus doesn't pay you well. The fact they need to bring in temp to help out the store to do the job they pay you to do means never going to get that raise in pay. The only reason they haven't fired you so far, it cost them more by paying unemployment just waiting for you quit to be someone another company's problem worker.

Why would you ever do tedious boring work when you can just go make money off of social media, or stocks, or even crypto. We have created so many ways out of actually just working. But still, many people are left out of those opportunities and are forced to work these shit jobs with shit pay in many places.
This is why I'm so thankful I am where I am now. My boss cares. All 3 of my team had to go home early one day cuz our boys were sick. The other two called out the rest of the week, but I'm lucky enough to have my husband and roommate home during the week. Another team moved up to help me, and I was offered OT if I needed extra time to catch up - not required. My boss bought me an adjustable desk to help me focus, and loves that I bring in fidgets and toys for the whole office. I asked her about a raise, and got it instantly - and I had a whole speech planned 😆

"Hard work is not rewarded, it's exploited." - current generation.
1000 focking %
Can confirm
It's true. I used to try so fucking hard at my last job, went the extra mile every day and put in so much effort. None of it was noticed, no reward, no thank you. I was still micro managed hard and told off for the tiniest things whilst my coworkers did half the work I did and yet got more praise than me. Learnt my lesson, now I just do my job as it states in the description.
Yeh, exploited by the "new generation of workers".
Lazy, exploitative socialists.
Very true in my experience
When i was working at a call center i had this lady told me the classic "I'm gonna get you fired!" And my response was "how kind of you to do me that favor"
“Promise??”
Funny no wonder china, india, south america and AI gonna replace american workers
Bruuuuuuh that was me last week. She wanted me to help her file a complaint about myself. Like WTF?
I wish that was me, I haven’t been paid $110.70 and I get paid $9.95USD an hour and my pay that I should receive for shifts worked doesn’t come through for 4 weeks and I’ve already waited 2.

The Case for Free Healthcare and College in America: Learning from Global Models
Introduction:
The United States, often regarded as a global economic powerhouse, stands out among developed nations for its absence of universal free healthcare and college education. In contrast to several countries that have successfully implemented such systems, the U.S. faces challenges related to accessibility, affordability, and equity in healthcare and higher education. This essay explores the compelling reasons why America should consider adopting policies that provide free healthcare and college education, drawing insights from successful models in other countries.
Body:
Healthcare as a Basic Human Right:
Access to quality healthcare is universally recognized as a basic human right. Countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia have implemented universal healthcare systems, ensuring that all citizens have equal access to medical services. In the U.S., the absence of a comprehensive healthcare system leaves millions without adequate coverage, leading to disparities in health outcomes. A move towards free healthcare would address these inequities and contribute to the overall well-being of the population.
Preventive Care and Public Health:
Free healthcare systems emphasize preventive care, reducing the burden of chronic diseases and promoting overall public health. By offering affordable healthcare services, countries like Sweden and Germany have effectively managed health risks and achieved better health outcomes. In the U.S., a shift towards free healthcare could prioritize preventive measures, reducing the strain on emergency services and improving the overall health of the population.
Reducing Financial Barriers to Education:
Countries such as Norway, Denmark, and Germany have recognized the societal benefits of providing free higher education. In America, the rising cost of college tuition has led to a significant burden of student loan debt, limiting access to education for many individuals. Introducing free college education would break down financial barriers, ensuring that education remains an equalizer and a pathway to economic mobility.
Global Economic Competitiveness:
Nations with robust social systems, including free healthcare and education, often boast higher levels of innovation and competitiveness. For instance, Germany's dual education system has contributed to a skilled workforce and economic success. By investing in education and healthcare, the U.S. can foster a more competitive and resilient society, preparing its citizens for the challenges of a rapidly evolving global economy.
Social Cohesion and Equality:
Universal healthcare and education foster social cohesion and reduce socioeconomic inequalities. Countries like Sweden and Finland consistently rank high in measures of social equality. In the U.S., adopting similar policies would contribute to building a more inclusive society, where access to healthcare and education is not determined by one's financial status.
Conclusion:
The experiences of various countries around the world demonstrate that free healthcare and college education are viable and beneficial options for societies. By embracing these models, the United States has the opportunity to prioritize the well-being and future prospects of its citizens. Implementing comprehensive healthcare and education policies would not only address existing disparities but also contribute to the nation's long-term prosperity and global competitiveness. The time has come for America to learn from successful international examples and take bold steps towards securing the health and education of its people.
Here is a list of some countries with universal healthcare systems:
1. United Kingdom
2. Canada
3. Australia
4. Sweden
5. Norway
6. Denmark
7. Finland
8. New Zealand
9. Italy
10. France

But they won't do the second part because they are greedy. Retailers are going to expect shoppers to stock shelves next.
I was working a full time job and could not move out of my poor living situation. When I talked to friends, I found out that many of them worked 2 jobs, 16 HOURS every day, even on weekends and holidays, and they still had to share an apartment with at least one other person. For rented, one bedroom, crappiest places on the market.
There’s no pay anymore. I don’t even know how I can live.
@@cjphights8324 They already expect us to handle the checkout. Cheaper to put in six self-checkout machines and pay one sorry fuck to check receipts than to pay six cashiers.
@@proudpapaprick oh I know the greed is real.
I said as much to management when they rejected a pay rise for everyone.
Said that they’ll just end up spending a fortune training clueless newbies while their experienced employees leave through sheer frustration and for a higher salary elsewhere.
The company will end up sh*t as a result
This is what I love about my current job. My boss wanted me to take on significantly more work, HOWEVER, he also raised my salary significantly to compensate for it, nearly doubling it.
It's not that people don't want to work anymore, they don't want to be exploited anymore. Pay for the work you want, not the work you think you can exploit from someone.
Depends, my last job had better pay, better benefits, and treated people better than an amazon warehouse nearby (and according to someone who came to that place, we also had easier metrics), but they still couldn’t keep people. The main downside was long hours, but after like 2 years you’d be taking in six figures needing no experience or even a high school education, and that’s before incentive pay, holiday bonuses, or company stock compensation.
@@walkermorales337what the fuck give me your job I’m barley fucking holding on as is
@@walkermorales337you mind telling me what that job is? If it's intense physical labor that's not surprising because even of the pay is good it'll take a toll on your body, some peoples body get used to it while for others it gets harder and harder for the body to handle. Like there's a pizza place and they used to have a person who would come in the morning and do the dough, eventually after a month his hands started to hurt and he couldn't handle it anymore.
@@walkermorales337the place I’m in now? That sounds like a godsend…which probably means they left because of management
@@jaydenliberty9536 surprisingly enough it was mainly due to OT. We’d get hit with a bunch of OT around holidays like Memorial Day, so we’d lose some people, and because we’d be down a few people we’d have even more mandatory OT for the 4th of July resulting in more people to quit. It’s a self perpetuating cycle of being understaffed in a way. The supervisors were pretty chill, they’d let you move around your days off for family events or if you wanted to see a concert or something, I’ve switched my days off like 3 times, and they were all approved. I haven’t heard of them not approving a switch. Also if you’re going though stuff at home (stuff that doesn’t qualify for bereavement as that’s a separate thing) they would let you go home early or take a day or two off if you ask for it.
Some people just don’t like to work long hours, or a warehouse job just isn’t for them, I personally left to finish up my education.
Literally just quit yesterday. Got injured and they kept pressuring me to come in and saying that I “can’t just call out because you don’t feel like working.” Mind you, I’m in a brace, and have crutches. Like. Visibly injured. Not lazy.
Anyway got an acceptance letter from a better place, with nicer managers and better pay. See ya~

I hurt my back really badly, to the point where I could barely move… My boss was super chill and understanding (he’s a great guy), but my Christian-Conservative family’s reaction to me barely being able to function and only capable of working part time was “Kids these days just don’t wanna work!”
Fr I had the same issue working at Amazon. My back was fucked up from me spraining my tailbone and the doctor said I couldn’t be lifting more than like 6 pounds. The managers there couldn’t grasp why I wasn’t able to lift all of the heavy ass packages and filled shipping bags. They eventually put me on medical leave and I just never went back in or answered HR’s phone calls (there were times I did answer for just a couple second and staying silent and fuck with em lmao.) cause management, had been screwing everyone that wasn’t a favorite. This went on the entire time I was there, but it 100% had been going on long before that.
@@Masked_SVincent Nah ah bro I hear Amazon treats its employees like they're lab rats
Good for you!:)
(The last part I mean)
"you young kids quitting jobs without notice!!" But they can fire me without notice, why should I quit with notice?
this has and will always confuse me. like i get the whole “leave in good peace for referrals to other jobs and what not” but if you’re considering quitting on the spot you’re clearly not expecting to use them as referrals so idk why that point is made every time. if they can fuck over your entire life, and all you can do is fuck a day or two of theirs, clearly there’s an imbalance in the importance of who leaves what without notice. so quit without notice people. it’s not like they really cared about you if they will fire you on the spot.
In my country both parts have to notice before, unless it's your fault that the fired you, like, idk, you stole something.
Now, most companies when firing people don't want them to be there anymore, so they just pay you the time and tell you to not go.
Keep burning down those bridges Son.
@@alexanderdiaz0512 that's cute, calling me son. Listen little boy, I don't need those bridges hence the burning. Understand me son?
Most places will not just fire employees at random without regard, it will cause other workers to resent them & hurt morale. Now that everyone posts everything online, all grievances go public. Going to work with that attitude should get you fired, cuz it shows in the lack of effort. If you want more money work harder, you negotiated pay when you took the job so walking in whenever you want just hurts your coworkers.
They usually have good reason to fire you, if they gave you notices many ppl would do spiteful crap & show out.
I thought it was gonna be his 2-week notice, and then the second one was going to be "I meant to give you the first envelope 2 weeks ago."
Technically it was
It pretty much was
That would be great lmao
It was, just different wording
@@kenopasquales1831 fax
I quit my last job bc I bent over backwards for them and the one time somebody lied and didn’t show up to cover my shift after they agreed to take mine, I was threatened w/ a write up. I expressed that it’s not my responsibility to babysit my other ADULT coworkers and I’m not responsible for their behaviour and I quit on the spot. I’m not gonna be exploited to come into work while vomiting bc YOUR supply staff lied to me and refused to text me back. That’s not my problem.
❤
In reality if you didn't get the shift change approved by management, then it absolutely IS YOUR responsibility. Management doesn't magically know you asked someone to come in for you. They look at the schedule and see YOUR name. That's on YOU. 🤷♀️
@@cassthompson3386why do you need to find someone to cover your shift? That sounds like it’s managements job. At my last job all we had to do was to call out an hour before our shift started and that was it, and continue to call out each day you miss and to call in on the day you can come back to work.
I'm 23 and working in retail, and I can confirm this is all true. Every single store I have worked at has been understaffed, which means that they expect people to do more work to make up for it. They expect two people to run and entire god damn grocery store, and then corperate refuses to give more hours for more people because they think "hey, if it works with with two people, then why change it?!" And then the store manager has to work like 12 hours shifts nearly every fucking day. It's genuinely disgusting how the current work force is.
Complete facts!!!! I worked at Walgreens before and during the pandemic. You're exactly right the treatment is ridiculous.
You're the only two people? Why don't you demand more the place is relying on you
@@pillowboy7995 Becuase I think there's only like 6 people max that work here at the moment.
@@darienb1127My last workplace was a 'team' of 14-16 people, the only time there was 3+ people in the store, was opening, someone new was being trained, or from 2-6PM, during kitchen prep time, the supervisor wanted the (only) person watching the register, to spend 30 minutes in the walk in cooler, as well as front the shelves and check expiration dates. If we had a third during closing hours, it would've been not as hard to get everything done to close and get out on time.
bro i work 12+ hour shifts as a general contractor 5 days a week. regardless of weather.
oh and spend over 400 in gas a week "JUST IN ON JOB DRIVING."
and get paid 15h.
fuck i need to quit
I still remember handing in my resignation letter and my boss saying "you know it's not professional to leave without two weeks notice" and I told her "nothing about this grocery store is professional" 😂
savage but true lmao
😂😂😂😂
God that's infuriating. sounds lke a nightmare boss. glad you gave her a dose of reality
But you still give a two weeks ending! DOESNT MATTER!
I used to work at Target as a cashier in college (and I graduated in 2020 so it wasn't even that long ago). My team lead didn't like me because she said I never "applied" myself enough. She expected me to bust my ass and go above and beyond for $11/hr (this was before they raised it to $15/hr) while having to deal with customers and their attitudes 5 times a week for 8 hours a day. The breaking point for me came when she pulled me aside and gave me "the talk" again because a customer complained that I didn't speak to her 2-month old baby...A FUCKING 2-MONTH OLD BABY. She tried to give me a compliment sandwich saying I was lazy but I was always punctual (most of the cashiers I worked with would use every excuse in the book to avoid coming in and working the register) which is why they didn't want to let me go because they needed people who were reliable and always came to work but I needed to work on how I spoke to people even if they were rude to me first. Then she wrapped it up by saying, "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." I went home and resigned. Bitch you won't be seeing me tomorrow or any other day. Lmao fuck you and fuck this job.
When a entire pay check goes to a place to sleep there is a problem and NO ONE wants to address it.

That isn’t the employers problem. That is governments problem, but these same people want government to fix it
You are the one that has to address that problem either you need to make more money or find a place to live that's more affordable.

They tell you "here we're a family." But it's the type of family that would have a member treat you wrong and the other family members say you need to forgive because "family." They want to pay you a meager salary that barely, and sometimes doesn't, cover the cost of living but expects you to go above and beyond. They tell you you're an important member of the team but treats you like a peasant working for royals. They act like asking for a raise is an insult. Isn't working for them payment enough?

It‘s the biggest red flag during a job interview, but most learn it the hard way. Blunt truth is, you go for the job because you need the work experience and the money. No work experience, no job, so where do you start without having any? From scratch…And knowing how to act during a job interview is also a matter of experience, some people just don‘t have the courage to be bold and standing their ground right from the start, wasn‘t any different with me. Getting a raise on your wages is also a matter of confidence, it‘s not necessarily the most productive ones, who succeed, mostly the ones, who are good at self marketing.
Oh, yeah, I had one of those. I don't talk to those people anymore, they're abusive and awful xD

I remember growing up the older generation would tell me that I had to provide 2 weeks notice when I was leaving a job. The moment I was fired from one of my jobs I knew I wasn't gonna continue doing that. Because how do you expect me to give you 2 weeks notice to find a replacement yet don't give me 2 weeks notice to find a new job?! Also they would say that "I wouldn't be able to find work if I just quit a job" that was clearly another lie. I've quit many jobs for various reasons and I have 2 careers under my belt that I can do anywhere at anytime. Never have I ever been hurt for work. Don't let these people lie to you just so they can keep you around for labor you're being underpaid and underappreciated for. Do NOT be afraid to stand up for yourself. There are other opportunities out there and you will find your way ❤
Facts!💯 🙌🏾❤️
Every time I've ended up quitting a job I've found one within a week
My mom told me, "the reward for good work is more work," and honestly it taught me to only put effort into a job I want to continue doing, because if I do well at a task at work, I'll be expected to do it every time with no additional pay. If I hate that task, there's not need to put extra effort into it to impress my boss; I'll never be financially rewarded for it, and that task will become my responsibility.
That's actually a really good way to think about it
I have had a philosophy for years: There are 3 levels of pay in any job-paid to show up, paid to work, paid to care. Most of us are barely paid to show up at this point.
I'm gonna put this on my Facebook page and tell people about how genuinely genius this philosophy is
This is a great point! I like it!
So If u show up but sit there doin nout u expect to be paid 😂 ur ‘philosophy’ is stupid a man would laugh at u and say jog on

Same, literally so many jobs right now offering pretty much the exact same pay I'm getting now. Used to be if you got fired you'd be unemployment for months before a job opening. Now I can get fired/Quit and go to an interview the same day.
Being fired now days is like ohh nooo a chance at a better jobbbbb. What ever will I dooo? I think that everytime some one complains about something out of my contorll where i work when they say Im going to report you :0 for something you cant control.
Also if you get fired you can get unemployment pay, as long as you keep looking for a job. If you quit you won't get it.
I don't have job offerings but fuck itttt Im not gonna beg n cry or get pissed off they fired me fuck em carry on with life better opportunities coming your way
Jordan speaks the truth, we got a new owner at my job and he was a total ass and didn’t pay us for 3 weeks(two pay periods). Some college students had to have their parents pay for their rent and tuition cause they didn’t have the moneyWe had messaged him asking when we’d get paid and some people didn’t have payroll set up yet with the new system and he wouldn’t respond to their messages about it. He blamed us for not making enough money at the store and tried to change the hours all weird so that literally none of us students could even work till the weekend. He also was going to make it so we’d work alone(that’s a safety issue, what if something happened). So we all said screw it and quit, not even a two weeks notice. He lost 14 employees in 48 hours and the stores probably gonna shut down now. Honestly I should feel bad but I just don’t care, he should’ve taken accountability for his actions instead of blaming us for all his problems.

So they get attitudes with the companies and employees who actually bother showing up like "Why don't you ring me up!?" Because, KAREN, these people are assigned to self checkout to help you, not ring you up. And even if they were allowed to ring you up I doubt they'd do it anyway since some have the same "quiet quitting" attitude. If nothing gets done then people won't be able to get the products and services they need because people want to be spiteful. "No I just want to be paid fairly!"
$15-$20+ an hour to sit on your ass and do nothing ISN'T fair pay. It isn't fair to those of us who have all the work dumped on us by lazy morons who think simple tasks are "too hard". If the workload were to be spread evenly between people who actually WORK then we'd all be getting fairly paid.
@@mosseon3456 Ah yes because the main motivation for working is not because you love your job its cus you dont wanna die. This is why we SHOULD have things like welfare and stuff because if people actually liked their jobs and didnt have to worry about literally dying from being poor then people would work better and be generally happier since humans have a natural incentive to work and serve each other.
@@supereggtartersauce6464 Being motivated by government handouts "and stuff" (that you are paying for via taxes while losing purchasing power through inflation) is the death of self sufficiency. Promising happiness isn't something the government can do, especially when people will always ask for more. I'm all for trying to fix the monetary system, but we need some standards and mindset changes too
@@supereggtartersauce6464 want to know the ultimate silver bullet secret technique? its simple. find the job where you do the absolute minimum and then screw around instead of actually working. One good example would be joining a very large corporation as a programmer. Many programmers contribute little to nothing to the projects they are on. You can just pretend to tweak the code and do nothing over and over again. Another great career track for do-nothings is security. If you carefully choose your security gig there are some very cushy ones out there. If you are willing to actually work a bit then I understand real estate is the maximum commission ppl get on sales.
Good luck on your journey I hope you find what you are looking for

Last week I quit my job. I was a Network Administrator, and I was losing money just going to work, having to use my savings to pay my bills. I was on call most of the time, and didn't get pay overtime everytime I work on the weekend. And most after-hours calls where around 1 or 2 in the morning.
My boss really didn't seem to care much, but my coworkers did. I got a new job in a different state and pays double, and biweekly we have 3 days off. I think is a small win for me.
Sad part is they only really notice your struggle as soon as you find a better opportunity and they get salty lol.
Worked at a mall Starbucks for over 7 years. The last two of those my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and we had terrifying er visits after a surgical procedure went septic and I called out. The district manager was new (and hated because she was a horrible person) and our new store manager was friends with the regional mgr..half our crew had walked out the first week we had mgmt changes because both new bosses were horrible an treated us like shit...mind you the majority of us had been at this store for YEARS.
After my call out I let them know I would be back asap. I literally was 5 min late because I was coming back from a hospital visit and was pulled into the back and fired
They were aware of my situation and said it was because I had a call out without more than 4 hours notice (the er day), I missed work even with ample notice and was late in a month period.
My dad was literally dying and I had a perfect record in the seven years I was there.
I literally walked across the way and got a job at auntie Anne's IN LESS THAN 15 MIN AFTER I WAS FIRED. The Auntie Anne's mgr was like we as you working, you are always doing a great job you can work here if you want...I was in my new uniform and facing my old work which was 15 away and straight across. The look on the Starbucks mangers faces when they saw me working right across the way, right in the field of vision was hilarious and iconic 😆
I made sure to wave everytime I saw Starbucks mgmt and my old coworkers that stayed would yell they missed me and bring me coffee 😆
I aspire to be as iconic!!!! 👏👏👏

Been like that forever. Back in the 80s, my sister was in critical condition in the hospital. My mom wanted two weeks off to stay by her as she recovered. Her boss told her, "You gotta pick: your family, or this job." She replied without hesitation, "I will ALWAYS pick my family," quit on the spot, and walked out of the store.
This apparently was NOT what the manager thought she would pick, and she kept calling my mom, warning her not to make such a foolish mistake. Like, she truly was stunned that someone wouldn't pick their career (as much as a junior manager at Target is a "career") over their child's well-being.
Nothing is wrong with this generation. They simply aren't stupid enough to think they NEED to put up with it. Owners and managers are just as crappy as they've always been, but Millennial employees are too fed up to care anymore. It doesn't even take being told "choose between your family or this job." They don't need THAT drastic of a sign that the manager truly doesn't give a damn about them. Anything will do to make them quit and go where they are appreciated. The system needs to change, not the workers.
(Side note: The best part of that story is that my mom was the only person in the whole store who knew how some of the machines at the snack bar worked. She would come in at 5AM to get it set up, even on her days off, because she knew the kids loved the popcorn and hot dogs, and she loved making kids happy. So when she quit, no one had a clue how to make popcorn. Even the district manager called her, begging her to train a replacement. My mom said, "Y'all can wait, I'm with my daughter now." So the store had to close down their snack bar, losing hundreds in profit every day, until my mom decided to return. She was rehired, demanding double her last wages, and she taught someone how the soda machines, popcorn, hot dog warmer, and churro maker all worked. Last she heard, that person was also treated like crap, quit suddenly, she wasn't as cooperative as my mom about staying to train a replacement, so Corporate had to send someone out there. This time, the store manager was fired by the district manager, who had really liked my mom. Mom told me years later, the store manager had not wanted to hire her back, but the DM demanded it, threatening that if they didn't agree to all of my mom's demands for returning, they would hire my mother as the new store manager. My mom was amused, but said she would've refused such a position, as she wanted to spend more time at home.)
3 levels of managers seems to be a trend with absolutely garbage work systems. DMs seem to be competent more often despite the ratios of DM to Managers.
Department stores were never meant to have life long employees. This phenomena only started around the late 80's when things were good. People need to get back into the mindset of always stepping up the ladder and not settling. So many well paying actual careers out there need people. Nurses, engineers, almost every aspect of construction, road work, trucking (both dispatching and driving), all sorts of jobs that need degrees and a lot that don't. I always tell people to get the hell out of department stores, we need less of them anyway.
@Dizz the Nibbler
2 problems with that.
1: People often need a lot of time to find those jobs. Time you don't have if you're working one of the minimum wage jobs for a living. Or they lack time to get a degree.
2: There aren't enough of those jobs to go around. Plus for every engineering or nursing job that pays a livable wage, there's another 2 that underpay. And you can't just say "Go to the ones that do", cause a majority of people need that cash now.
It isn't about changing the mindset to "move uo the ladder", which has been knocked down. No, it's about forcing the system we're in to enable easier access to livable wages. Improving education is part of that, cause there are a depressing number of public schools that don't teach up to code. And part of THAT is teachers universally getting underpaid. We've got a problem from the roots.
@@clayxros576 you also only concentrated on the jobs I mentioned that require college. You're helping back the mindset I'm trying to fix. Steps are steps, not leaps. Obviously you don't go from working a minimum wage job at some shitty super store, to getting a 6 year degree to become a nurse. However, getting a CDL is a lot quicker, a lot easier, and a local route still nets at a minimum around $28 an hour, and a max of around $38. You can also take 2-4 hour night courses for most of the jobs that require anything less than a degree.
Edit: also, most courses from a tech school (also night available) will net jobs that pay on average 25-35 an hour. Sometimes more depending on what speciality.
@Dizz the Nibbler
Your point about a CDL is valid, however the hours the DMV are open isn't always conducive to getting a CDL in their off time. I know cause I've done it, plus the studying required amd the delay in retesting. Oh, you also need a Letter of Intent from someone who is likely an employer. How is someone stuck in a dead end job struggling to make rent meant to obtain that letter, one of which is required for each test attempt? Legitimate question.
As for night school, you forgot my point about time. Folks working department stores for a living usually work overtime or a second job just to pay the bills. Little to no savings is common. How would you suggest they fit study time into that when they still need to sleep? Cutting out that second job isn't an option for many.
I got fired from my career because my boss decided right before my drawn out 1.5 year probation period was up I wasn't a good fit. After doing the job for a year and a half. Immediately after, she stuck her buddy in my position. I've been looking for work and my two experiences so far have been a grocery store that made me wait half an hour at a checkout for someone to come get me for my interview & told me I needed to come back to ask about the status of the application and not call because "we just like that and it shows initiative". Second one ONLY wanted me to interview that day, before 5pm, so within hours, and if I wasn't available, they'll "keep me on a list". Jobs these days demand your literal life and 100% commitment for minimum wage. On top of that, only about 25% of places I've encountered are actually hiring full time because their cheap asses don't want to pay benefits. I know I'm going to have to take a pay cut from $26 an hour to minimum wage. Cherry on top is my car took a shit on me, so I have to try to find work in my 25k population town, rather than drive 40 min to my closest big city for work.
It is so disheartening. I understand why people make a living of unemployment. I am 26, I went to college right after high school, worked multiple jobs the whole time, graduated with my bachelor's. I got good grades, was on the deans list, honor roll, etc. I did everything by the book, worked hard and stayed focused with the hope that I was setting myself up for success. And now I genuinely feel like that is wasted.
That’s why a lot of people don’t even go to college anymore. Wasting years of your time only to still have to work for pennies. It’s like they don’t want us to survive out here. It honestly sucks.

It sucks being a hard working employee just to see that promotion you could have gotten went to the manager's cousin named Earl 😭
protip, the harder you work the more useful you are where you are, wont get you a promotion, only stuck.
That’s why I work with just enough effort to not get fired, and even then I think about handing in my notice everyday
That was me from 17-20 years old at my lifeguard job. I got passed over for promotions and other perks so many times. I stopped caring and eventually quit at the end of yet another garbage shift. Don’t regret it at all
Facts
My mom always taught me to be a "hard worker" and what that meant for her was work 90 hour weeks, and stay quiet. I did that at first - worked 30+ days in a row, worked whether I was sick or not (pre-covid when my boss would force me to waitress while sick), would fill in bussing shifts for $8/hr. then i got fired for being pregnant while i was struggling with an abusive relationship and i called out two days in a row bc i was bedridden from my pregnancy.
i realized i could be a hard, reliable worker without taking that shit and sacrificing myself. and i wish i started sooner

I can’t even begin to tell you how often I have snapped at work because no matter how hard I work those assholes continue to believe I am not doing enough. And I have only ever snapped… on supervisors.
In the 1960's my dad dropped out of high school, went to Vietnam, and then worked for a big electrical contractor. With that, he was able to buy a house, two cars, and afford a stay-at-home-wife with three kids. My interns work three jobs, live eight to an apartment, and graduate with $100,000 in student loan debt. My dad says they are all lazy.
Depends on the jobs they're working. I'd say more like stupid.

Lol maybe don't get in debt to banks for college for useless degrees like 85% of 18-25 year olds are doing
That was when houses and cars were like $10 🙄 our parents wouldn’t even survive if they came up in this era.
Maybe you should hire them and stop using internships as an excuse to not give someone full employment? Why not just train them?
It's crazy how the boss opened them in that order. For me they would have read "JK. I quit today" Before the 2-week notice, and that would have just been awkward.

I've got to see what happens next
I don't care if i get fired. Theres great freedom in not caring what happens. The way things are going out there, is truely heartbreaking.
i straight up quit for the first time a few years ago like no two weeks (grew up midwest with old values so weird for me) but it felt so right i was givng soo much and becuase i was such a hard worker my boss wanted me to do more cuz they were short staffed after a change of ownership before i got hired well i couldnt do more becuase college comes first( i mean i gotta use my debt to the fullest extent i can fml) and they started getting mad that id have to leave for school and its not like i sprang it on them they knew from the start i was in school and it mattered more so when that would stop and things got worse i just walked for the first time, most empowering thing i ever done helped more with my depression (for that day) than any drug ive taken haha
This new generation of workers have also heard stories of the bullshit their parents and grandparents went through and immediately said "not me tho, yall stay safe"
My parents taught me to work hard and have pride in my work. The whole “you get out what you put in” is truer than ever. Putting in 30 hours in a retail job is minimum effort and you will get compensated as so. From 18 until now I busted my ass and now I’m 24 with a job I love at 100k+ a year. I get insulted when people say “oh you’re just lucky” nah bro I busted my ass for 6 years and now I can take it easy for the rest of my life, meanwhile y’all just complained about stocking shelves and doing your jobs poorly lmao

Told a customer today. "I don't answer dumb questions. My shift ended 45 minutes ago"
frr my mom complained about my work ethic (i was still in school and passing everything) and she said she gives it 200% every day. i was like "fuck that that leads to burnout. work 80% and peoples expectations of you will be moderate and you have room to impress them" and she got SO MAD.
on another occasion i took a sick day and she was like "i go to work sick i havent taken a sick day in 6 years" and i was like "baby you sell towels you probably gave like 20 people pneumonia and you still make less than your peers" smh.
so yea hard work is exploited. acceptable work is the new hard work.
My husband worked at UPS for 2 years. UPS treats their employees like sh*t. Because they are unionized, the management (who is not unionized), harasses the drivers constantly. My husband was pulled into the managers office weekly for “violations” like being late…like 2 minutes late, not delivering packages fast enough (though they tell drivers in training, safety is more important than speed). He had a good relationship with the people he delivered too, so he would chat with them for a few minutes. Management follows drivers around to make sure they are “safe” (it’s BS because it isn’t about safety, it’s about trying to catch them not being fast enough. He never knew when he was getting home, and he had 0 work life balance.
The union always protected him, but management would try to make him feel like sh*t by telling him, “well we pay you good, so you just need to put up with it”. I’ll never forget the day he put in his two week notice…management acted shocked. Doesn’t matter how much you pay, being harassed and never having a home life isn’t worth the money.
Left UPS after being a package handler 3 years, not by choice tho, but I *was* at the end of my wits. You don't lie. They treat loaders like shit, drivers as shit, and belt supervisors as utter dog 💩. I've heard those w/ seniority & union discuss how unapologetically they'll cuss out management thinking mngmnt can pull some shit younger people won't speak up against. I asked "Why you still work here???" Them, "Pension." One guy who's 10 years from retirement as a package handler / wash team did 70 hours peak 1 week, made ~$1300, cos of OT. Y'a need thick skin and a will outside that dump to make it. Certainly pays well, or did, before union talk / potential strike Aug 2023; but personally, I'm glad a place like UPS is never gonna be in heaven w/ God. I only say this cos in my belief the saints get to do awesome work for eternity to make earth thrive; UPS can burn in hellfire--corporate logistics really 🔥🔥🔥📦🔥🔥🔥---😊
The non unionized management aren't treated any better. They will give you one position , which you are being paid for, then assign you work from another position they don't want to have to pay anyone to do. So, you're doing two or three jobs, working 12 to 15 hours a day. You don't get paid extra for those extra hours. FMLA, is a battle to get so you can't take care of your ill spouse. Upper level management talks to you like s#*t and you can't complain because you AREN'T UNIONIZED. Meanwhile we've seen unionized workers not show up for a month, without calling in, get a letter for employment termination, show back up to work the next week, start working again and kept their job because they said they didn't get the termination letter. That happened often. Management would be gone if they did this crap.
But, here's the thing, no employer, no business cares about you. Only the bottom line. The managers are getting brought into offices and yelled at by their managers, then they bring their supervisors in and it trickles down.
You'd be hard pressed to find any business that treats their employees well. It may not be right but it's the way it is.
@@faithsaidthat it’s so sad that management isn’t treated well either.
We have left many shitty jobs. Fortunately, both my husband and I work for great companies that put as humans first. But I know that’s not the case with most.
Bury them in paperwork, grievances and such for harassment etc
Same with Amazon delivery. Those loads get heavier and heavier, and those phones and vans are bugged more than an American politician’s iPhone when dating a Chinese spy.
I had a job that I gave up vacations, days off, worked most holidays. And when I left after 11 years in the same role and no career development, one of the people that I'd helped make rich off my time didn't care at all that I was leaving. I opened my eyes after that: never again will I give up anything for a job that doesn't reciprocate.
It is an equal transaction they pay you to do a job you did that job. Do you need a pat on the back or something to make you feel better? I'm pretty sure the company pays you for that vacation time, that your choice not to take.
What I hear from you is this. I made a choice to not take and use my benefits for I can produce more money for others. Seems like the issue here is you have a people pleaser type of personality.
You allowed this to control you for 11 years. Now you are jealous that the person that you worked for got rich. They own the company so of course they are going to get rich.
That like me saying I am upset I did all this work on these buildings to make other people rich. I am not upset that they are rich and have money off my work. I am upset they refused to give me more, when I asked many times. Doesn't take me 11 years to do this either. Takes me at most 2. So I leave them like the scum they are. Then they call me begging me back. I tell them to F off and if I see them again, I am going to put them in some dirt.
If they won't pay you what you are worth, someone else will. I had another company try to hire me on for same wage I was making. I had 6 other companies willing to pay me 50% more. I told that one company to F off also. Scum is everyone and scum only has 1 thing in mind. How can they get richer. You need to approach work like this. You aren't their to help these people. You are their to make the most for yourself.

My mom worked I don’t even know how many years, in retail at Victoria’s Secret and she used to tell me all about the rude customers, I had one office job for three weeks as a student assistant, by third week I was done
Thank GOD someone said this. When I was young and dumb I hired on at Wal-Mart. They were setting up a new SuperCenter. They sent this guy from regional to tell us how he started as a People Greeter and is now regional manager! Whee!!! I hired in as a cashier but was helping out in GM receiving. I learned the hand computer in a day (no iPads back then!) and was up and scanning in new goods. I was so good that when UPC/Invoice became swamped I got sent in to help because they knew I’d learn the fastest. I became a filing BEAST. So, Store open day and I start working the register. I decided that I wanted to be a CSM so I asked a CSM the best way to get there. They said to learn every outlying register so I learned Service desk first. Learned that well enough after two hours that everyone but me could go to lunch. I was KILLING it! Couldn’t get a chance to learn jewelry, electronics, lawn and garden or sporting goods and I was getting frustrated. I’d been there a year, had a sterling reputation and was a hard worker. A friend told me that if I went to overnights I’d learn all the CSM codes and could learn the outlying registers as I closed them out for the night and I’d make a whole 50 cents extra per hour, too! OH BOY! So, learned the CSM codes in about 3 nights. Still wasn’t being taught outlying registers. Then, they began taking me off the registers to watch the front for the overnight people greeter. Okay. Losing hope. Then, a light! One of the ladies I’d worked with in UPC/Invoice was retiring! I told her I was angling for the job and she put in a good word for me. Weeks passed. No news. Finally I found out I hadn’t been hired and the person they HAD hired was from the deli and knew not the foggiest of what UPC/Invoice entailed. To add insult to injury they put ‘me on the doors every night and found a bullshit reason to try and fire me. They wouldn’t, though, if I wrote a 1000 word essay explaining why they shouldn’t. I walked out with a middle finger in the air. Trust no bitch, especially when they say they “prefer to hire from within” and like employees who are “motivated to move up in the company”.
They wanted you to write a fucking essay begging them not to fire you? After you’d gone above and beyond to learn all of the systems? How absolutely condescending. I probably would have taken them up on the offer and written a short, but sweet, “go fuck yourselves”. But, walking out middle finger in the air works too.
And that's why I quit working all together and started taking my Keep

I used to work in a medical facility running the outpatient laboratory. I was efficient. So management gave me more tasks that I really was not qualified for. When I brought up either receiving a raise or slimming down my responsibilities the undertone of management's response was "if you aren't willing to do all of these duties we will find somebody who will." This same employer refused to give perfect marks on evaluation because there's "always room for improvement".
I grew up with my parents telling me that as far as work is concerned, everybody is expendable.
Well everyone except nurses lol
Yup are. Learn to use it. If they won't pay you for your work find a new job.
"Then something just snapped, something inside of me. I didn’t care anymore"
I like this attitude to a degree. They're not taking any shit and kissing up to any boss. I also think that all the entrepreneurship that's been making headway has also contributed to this confidence.
I am so happy where I work now because I actually get treated with respect. Unfortunately I've had a lot of crap go down this year with my health and 2 family losses. My boss sat me down one day and genuinely asked if I was ok, I said no and bursted into tears, she then offered me 6 free counseling sessions through the company. THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT STAFF 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Same here. My boss believes he has to give good worker's a reason to stay or he gives them a reason to leave. So if we have record profits for the month. We get cash bonuses.

Its true. Im payed 13 an hour and they expect me to kick my own ass. They pay the temps 18 buck for stalking shelves at a leisurely pace. Pro tip: if they tell you not to talk about your wages with other employees, find another job
Imagine living in Mexico and being paid 16 dollars a day, 12 hour to complete day worked x 4 to 5 days at week... and that's if you're lucky, have a nice butt and charisma so you don't get fired
Sound like the problem is boss also sees that not a good worker, and thus doesn't pay you well. The fact they need to bring in temp to help out the store to do the job they pay you to do means never going to get that raise in pay. The only reason they haven't fired you so far, it cost them more by paying unemployment just waiting for you quit to be someone another company's problem worker.
It is stocking shelves or a stalker is following you to kidnap you!

Why would you ever do tedious boring work when you can just go make money off of social media, or stocks, or even crypto. We have created so many ways out of actually just working. But still, many people are left out of those opportunities and are forced to work these shit jobs with shit pay in many places.
