      Most people I met in bad jobs were just stupid but outside of the stupid people there were some who didn't get much of a choice in life which are usually foreigners.

He even made enough to move to a gated community, he (at least financially) doesnt have it so bad. Not enough to stop working at the KK but enough money and time to pursue his passions. Hes also a slacker so i wouldn't say his work is too bad if it wasnt for spongebob's antics. I could probably keep going but i think this is enough of an over analysis of squidward's finances

      ​@Chungus36000 It also explains why Squidward would have a peer like Squilliam that degrades him like a non sportsmanly rival for seemingly no reason at all. Squidward is likely more the disenfranchised ex "golden goose" meant to carry on an upper class family name higher who "burned out" between him and Squilliam rather than a real lower class squid.

      As covered in the video, he has quit his job multiple times and appears to have stayed economically afloat every time except in "Can You Spare a Dime?"
      Not only that, Squidward is a chef. He can should get jobs at other restaurants. Spongebob got hired at multiple different restaurants despite his inexperience with anything that wasn't a Krabby Patty, and Squidward can also make Patties when he's forced to do so. He even landed a job as a chef in a fancy restaurant in one of the episodes where he did quit. So there should be little reason why he can't leave the Krusty Krab, a job he hates in large part due to Spongebob.
      Squidward should be able to find another job; the video covers the times he tried and what might be stopping him.

    1:39 Thinking on it, he probably could get a job at that swanky Ship in a Bottle restaurant they show every so often. He’s a great chef. Even when it comes to playing the clarinet, we know Spongebob had water-warped his by using it to unclog a toilet. Meanwhile when he uses any other “new” clarinet, we see that he is actually either decent or good at playing. Even in the best day ever he has an entire concert hall giving him a standing ovation over his performance, so clearly he can be a great musician. One who, funnily enough, even set aside a VIP seat for Spongebob. For all his hatred of Spongebob, Squidward still had a special VIP seat set aside for him in the front row, as he was always so supportive of his playing.

    Honestly, Squidward resonates with a lot of people because he's pretty much forced to work a job he hates since the things he loves to do aren't taking off and finding a job outside of his current one is either next to impossible or requires some kind of years of experience in something. I got fired from McDonald's for missing a single day that I wasn't scheduled for and have been struggling to find a new job ever since and it's been... 9 years.

    I think the first example can be explained by where he is when Patrick runs out. Squidward had no real intention of quitting. He knew Patrick wouldn't be able to stick around long and just did not want to be there for that period of chaos. He could have gone home to read his paper (or make art, I dont know why you say he has nothing better to do when we know he has a bunch of hobbies he likes..) but he stayed just outside the building. He was litterally just leaned agaisnt the sign post and reading the paper to wait for the Patrick nonesense to run its coarse.

    Squidward being payed next to nothing doesn't add up because of his cost of living. We know Squidward owns his house, as we see he has the deed in skill crane. Even if he payed off his mortgage and doesn't pay taxes his house does still has full utility services. So we can deduce that Squidward is middle class if not upper middle class. So my theory is that while Squidward is being payed a good wage, He's still a good compromise of cost and security. For even if Squidward is getting a six figure salary this is still a low overhead for the Krusty Krab, as he's only 1 of 2 employees. Combine this with Krabs having the most successful restaurant in the known aquatic world and we're looking and Krabs being a multimillionaire. Squidward is also good at deductive reasoning, unlike most of bikini bottom residents who are portrayed as airheads. For he's the first person to discover plankton scheme in the first movie. This would be invaluable to Mr Krabs for when his restaurant is being assaulted by plankton and other thieves. Where Spongebob is the physical line of defense, Squidward is the logical line. Picking up on deception and underhanded tactics. This is likely why he was chosen as the manager for the Krusty Krab 2, for he's the only person Krab trusts with keeping his money secure. And since everyone hates Squidward Mr Krabs doesn't have to pay him anymore than he has to. For while Squidward is payed around 70-120k annually, anyone else as smart or smarter than hims would ask for about 200k+ (remember krabs only has 2 employees and has made hundred of thousands in a single day) so Squidward, despite hating his occupation, is currently working a job is designed for someone like him.

    Another thing is that SpongeBob might have escaped the whole forever thing in squid on strike because as far as we know from Pretty patty he may still own the Krusty Krab, thus giving SpongeBob leniency anytime he destroys the Krusty Krab. Yes Krabs probably still owns the rights to the franchise and all but SpongeBob at the very least owns the building as far as we know.

    I think it's seriously just plot not to be a party pooper but as an unfortunate reason! Or else, I'll call this the alternate timeline Squidward ACTUALLY escapes his job for peep sake. Hear me out!
    The Chum Fricasse episode clearly showed Squidward's ability to run the Chum Bucket to the point of outperforming the Krusty Krab and nearly make it nearly run out of business. But the episodic plot forced to use Squidward's arrogance as his downfall and makes things "go back to normal". He didnt cook his food for 24 hours for "his many fans" waiting in line, despite Plankton warning him, so Plankton just followed his orders. Basically served uncooked food (which to be fair was gross), and the unloyal customers went over the top "herd mentality social justice mode" (quite common in Spongebob episodes) to destroy the whole business and cancelling the whole Chum Bucket entirely for one mistake. How did they find out? It wasn't even like the health inspector came by and shut down the restaurant after realizing the fact...it was his grandma that called out Squidward IN PUBLIC. You could EASILY argue his grandmother could at least have the decency to tell Squidward in privacy...or else she'll tell everybody in public. If he ignored multiple warnings, I would understand Squidward's arrogance being his downfall here but we have to accept this bogus plot. It was poorly executed and it was crazy because both "losers" Plankton & Squidward were finally winners with no false trick, all skill (Plankton's resources and Squidward's recipe). So this is seriously the most optimal and boss way to leave his terrible job!
    And for the customers, they could have just been like "Don't make this mistake again! We like your food well cooked!" I'm saying this in particular because there are a few occasions where Spongebob himself sabotaged the Krusty Krab but "things went back to normal" thanks to the nature of these cartoons.
    One time was when Spongebob was acting "normal", and started printing krabby patties since it was more efficient and "normal". The customers realized it when trying out the food, then left entirely. Mr. Krabs forced Spongebob to leave until he becomes himself again but at this point, you can seriously argue EVERY customers could have left the Krusty Krab for good just like the Chum Fricasse.
    This one is a bonus: When Spongebob, introduced the "color pretty patties", Spongebob made his own business after being mocked, then business was booming, however it eventually caused health problems and customer outrage AFTER Mr. Krabs took over the pretty patties business (Spongebob became the owner of the Krusty Krab in return, employment pay problems are solved...yeah)! Things went "back to normal" because...it's an episodic cartoon. So right there, we have an alternate universe of Spongebob being an owner, no matter how naive, he easily could have Squidward and himself get paid really good salaries because Squidward would have ensure his pockets knowing about Krabs' precarious situation and Spongebob would get extra money if Mr. Krabs was attempting to re-buy his business back.
    I'm missing more examples but you get the idea of the first one using the same strict judgment of the Chum Fricasse episode to any other failed business plans of the Krusty Krab that have similar implications. And the 2nd idea is showing us that alternate timelines exist in Spongebob! Even if you obviously knew, as much as I hate to say "plot" because we all know it's "plot" but this is so egregious, this has to be pointed out! Squidward should have been escaping his job at the very point of the Chum Fricasse episode in that alternate universe of Spongebob. Some of these Spongebob theories should seriously consider alternate timelines due to the nature of episodic cartoons.

    Interesting topic for a video....but you're really forcing us viewers to fill in a lot of blanks for you in the first 5 minutes of the video...
    for one: Squidward didn't ACTUALLY quit on the moments where he "came right back", he kind of knew the situation was temporary and only quit for the day. Hence him waiting outside and walking back in when the issue was finally gone.
    2. He doesn't really "Hate" his job. He just prefers to do something bigger and better, but a job is income and this is kind of the best he can do. He admits several times he loves his job and only really quits when he feels he has a better opportunity (and is seriously convinced) or when something (Spongebob usually) annoys him so much he feels being homeless is better than putting up with the issue, but again, once the issue is gone, he goes right back. He actually thought Spongebob wouldn't be qualified when he was first hired and was pretty buddy buddy with Mr Krabs.
    3. The "Work forever" thing... Mr Krabs said "Until you make up the cost to fix my restaurant, you will work for me forever!" That's not him hiring him for good, that's him suing them for destroying his restaurant. Once it's fixed (which it usually is by next episode) the "debt" was repaid and now they're just regular employees again. It's not unheard of for the terms of a lawsuit to result in someone who destoryed someone else's home or livelihood to have to "work off the damages" and the wages they would make are garnished out of thier paychecks by the courts to pay for the damages. Not to be taken literally.
    I was going to say something about the desires, but you mention that unlike Spongebob who not only is a LOT more popular and charismatic (two important traits to getting a job), but also will settle for a lot less, Squidward has high hopes and dreams and likely is aiming really high, like jumping from cashier at a restaurant to the head waiter at a prestigeous gala. He's not applying to places like "mascot at a children's fair" and likely not looking for a position that is the same as where he is like cashier at a grocery store. Plus he knows Mr Krabs and is a friend of his, so it's likely Krabs pays him decently enough and treats him well enough that he knows he can always get work there.
    Again, interesting topic for a video..... but... try to focus more on evidence and less on repeating the points you already made over and over, especially if the points are incorrect or unsubstantiated (again the "Work forever" thing was pretty agregiously false.... to literally assume he said that while ignoring the "In order to make up for all this damage to my store" part...meaning it's a debt, not a paycheck. and again, not every time he "quit" was him resigning, it was just him leaving for the day until the annoyance was dealt with. Only a few times did he actually resign and in those, he genuinely thought he had a better job lined up.) and you'll have some fine videos. Just a friendly tip.

    This just tells you just how evil Mr. Krabs really is to his employees. Then again, he’s been greedy since the very beginning. Interesting video.

    The things we hate sometimes is the thing that's helping you.

    I'm all grown up now and I really understand how Squidward feels when he has to work in desperation. I can't believe I hated him when I was a kid.

    I also love the scenes where Squidward is still loyal to SpongeBob even though he’s an annoying to deal with at times. I’m sure we all have co workers like that lol.
