I worked in the same warehouse for over 24 yrs. Wasted years ill never get back. Nothing but highschool drama, and piss poor pay. Finally at 49 yrs old- i got my class A license. Now, my office is the inside of a truck. Just me and my music. No dirtbag coworkers, or shit managers to deal with. Wish id done it 20+ yrs ago. HIGHLY recommend
I’m a black college graduate who would be laid less than a white boy without a college degree if I worked for corporate America, but homie don’t play that- so I employed self when I worked, but now I’m retired and live off taxes of those who are favored by the system, and I’m loving it since retiring at 45.
Who wants to be a slave to a job! I don't think covid made people lazy, I think it made people realize what's most important in life!
Pro tip: Stop caring. Best decision of my life. Ive stopped giving a crap what anybody else, especially at work, thinks about me or anything else. Threaten to fire me, dont care, STFU and do it, dont tell me about it, do it or F off. Im here to do a job, not babysit all the adult children around me.
Exactly! Thats how I survive ALL My jobs. I started working in 1979. Too bad it has to come to that, though.
Having a job I hate that I have to go to every damn day, makes my life absolutely not worth living whatsoever.
And the ridiculous thing about it is that they expect maximum loyalty for minimum wage.
Yup, always
I stopped having casual or harmless conversations w/ people at work. It completely eliminates drama. DONT play where you get your pay. In this age you have to protect yourself. It's not personal it's professional.
Good advice.
I must do this.
You would have to be a stoic to do that. But it is great advice!

I quit my job in July 2020 and never looked back. It has been rough financially at times, but, I have peace of mind. The work environment became too toxic. A lot of gossiping and backstabbing.
I feel this! We quit the rat race, sold 95% of our belongings, bought a used RV and fixed it up, and we've been living on the road with less and happier than ever. We work for 6-7 months and then take a break the rest of the time. We travel and meet people and live life. The American Dream only works if you're asleep.
Have you been able to earn a living from your channel?
The late great George Carlin said it best "they call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it..."
I’m a RN, quit 11/2021. No way am I wearing a mask, testing weekly or going along with a corrupted healthcare system. The jab is also out of the question. Stay out of debt & live skinny.
Wait, you're a nurse who refused to wear a mask? Seriously?
@@christophdenner8878 In the unit I was working in, it was unnecessary. I wore it on my chin 98% of the time. It was a stupid policy for the Covid farce. Paper masks stop droplets not viruses.

@@christophdenner8878 don't even starts, unless you know ppe protocols in health care, you are just another mask idiot.
I’m totally agree with what you’re saying . I tolerated my job for 35 years and couldn’t wait to leave . I tried going back after 2yrs of retirement and got a quick lesson/reminder why I was happy to leave . It all is related to the ignorance , dis respect & back stabbing , make’s good people to not wanna be there .
I've pretty much always been self employed. My ex-wife told me that I would never survive in the corporate world. She said because I have no filter, and would tell my boss to go f*** himself, I would get myself fired. I just don't tolerate bs.
I’m the same now. I feel like a 90 yr old that just doesn’t give a shit anymore. I don’t deal with BS either.
I am so glad I no longer work. I don't have as much income but the peace of mind is worth it.
I am a registered nurse and all of this applies to me also . We get treated very poorly and they wonder why no one one wants to be a nurse
How local hospital is super understaffed on purpose. They put more patients per nurse to increase profits. People have died because of improper care. Corporations are vial
Not only rudeness, violence abounds in the health care sector
It can be very dangerous !! More and more frequently , sadly.
As I have said in other comments to this video, I wouldn't wish a nursing career on my worst enemy.
RN here for 39 years. I absolutely agree with everything you say. I loved my job for many years, but at this point, I feel the same way you do.
Yes, yes, yes to all of it! I've worked in banking all of my adult life until 2020. My last six year position, I had to train new hires that came in making more than I did. The being treated like a child, the constant meetings and role playing. The public was a horror show. I had customers cuss me out and call me names regularly, throw things at me, steal things off my desk and try to physically attack me. They came in drunk and on drugs and were sexually explicit . There was a homeless person camped out in our restroom one day and my boss told me to go in there and get them out. Me, a five foot tall older lady! I'm self mercifully self employed now. Never, ever again. Ever.
Agree agree agree. No matter how hard you work, the effort you put into a job, going way above and beyond, it is not acknowledged, appreciated or rewarded. The companies don’t care. ZERO incentive.
An elderly employee I worked with died in the canteen, everyone thought he was sleeping. The paramedics came and took him away and the manager appointed someone else to do his job like nothing happened. That’s how replaceable you are
😱
That is so sad, a man dies and no one cares. like the work being done is more important. Shameful.
Don’t love them or the job because they don’t give a crap about you.

_You live on welfare, in that case!_
I'm a commercial locksmith in Dallas. I've worked for myself for 15 years. No employees no shop. I made 149,000 in 2022. I work an average of 45 hours a week. I learned long ago self-employment is quality of life. Don't get a worthless degree, go to a trade school.
Shit...
Great advice!
You my friend are a legend 🤟🤟🔥🔥

I'm really considering opening up my own landscape company.
I retired early at 60. I just could not stand it anymore. My pension is tiny but I don't care. I have everything that I need.
I got a job where I work on a remote mountain top in Colorado; rarely have to talk to anyone. I don’t hate people im just happier when I’m not around them.
oh man you must be crazy !!! " LOL " just some humor.... you're damn luicky
I can tolerate people in small groups for short periods of time. But then I want to go home and listen to classical music or total silence! 😊
I worked 41 years for the same corporation and left at 61 years old , 10 months from being 62 years old because I had enough. I was penalized on my pension because I was not 62 years old . Because I did save those 41 years I was able to walk. Save while you’re working walk out when you’re ready .
Why do I think you are postal Dale? I am postal.
No😊 I’m not
I was a nurse for 20 years and the abuse I took was unbelievable and soul crushing. I had zero choice with 4 kids to feed and they knew it. I still have literal nightmares that I'm in the middle of a shift and wake up shaking in tears.
I relate! I had a dream last night that two of my patients followed me home and moved in, LOL. I have 4 kids too and can't quit.
I appreciate nurses!!! Thank you!!
Many family members in medical field
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I feel this in my soul😢
I left nursing over 10 years ago, and occasionally I still have nightmares that I'm back at work. I've talked to other former nurses about this and it seems to be a common experience. I wouldn't advise my worst enemy to become a nurse.
Working retail for 10+ years nearly killed me. I've had stuff thrown at me, a co worker got spit on, death threats, curses & hexes put on my life for following store policy- some people were just pure evil. The managers were just as bad. I developed a phobia and won't step foot in any store. I get everything delivered now and cut grass for a living.
It really is that bad. I have developed a phobia of phones. I don’t pick up any calls unless it is from a family member or friend. In retail stores, I do my best never to ask for help and always use self checkout. I avoid stores that don’t have it
Why are all these people bad mouthing her? She worked for many years.... but with a plan in place to save enough so she could be independent and not have to work a dead end job until she keeled over from old age. That's called savvy!
Employers pay you crap, treat you like crap, and steal all your time. It’s not a place for a person who truly has self respect. It doesn’t matter if you have a degree or not. Lower your expenses, start a business, live on your own terms and enjoy your time on this earth. If you must work for someone, choose part-time and use your time off to build your own business.
Perfect example why everyone should aggressively pursue financial independence from first day of slave employment. My favorite video from PP to date 🙂

I was an RN for 45 years. Got disrespected from all entities, patients, and even family. Now retired. This job taught me how to hate most people.
The disrespect goes both ways. Nurses here call patients “hon”. So unprofessional.
I quit the job scene for good back in 2013. I live cheap but free and happy. My humble home is paid off and most of my food I grow, hunt or forage. I eat one healthy meal a day and can easily fast for days if need be. But I don't have to.
I earn enough to get by and don't try to get more. For entertainment I read great books.
I retired 2 months ago, a nurse, who made the most I ever have in my life. Not worth it. Screaming, cussing patients, who you're trying to help. I was planning on retiring in 5 years. Management also making life miserable with training demands in our off time. I had enough.
We are not designed to work 9-5, 5 days a week. That leaves barely any time to actually live!! I work a zero hour contract job and live off grid, I’m broke but happier because I have time to do side hustles, sit and have deep creative thoughts, and stop to smell the roses. If a working week was 4 days a week, 6 hours a day I could hold down a full time job, but these days companies advertise for 9-6!! Where do they get off squeezing every last human battery hour out of us? It’s not worth it, just be less of a consumer and more in touch with nature and it’s a more positive existence. Unfortunately too many people are money oriented and like designer things that the system stays geared towards more work hours.
Couldn't agree more! Peace is priceless!
Yes it’s priceless But Food Housing Gas. Insurance totally outrageously our Government it’s a JOKE
Gaslighting is alive and well in the workplace. I worked for a company for 25 years, then new management took over and my workload doubled. I said, 'I can't do this much work', they said, 'Yes, you can'. And that was their answer for everything - 'Yes, you can'. I only lasted a few more months and then I quit. I am much happier now.
I have worked in call centres and it is soul sucking. I have also worked as a professional accountant and have been fired because of a crazy screaming manager. I also worked as a temp worker in accounting, I realised that there are a lot of toxic workplaces and they will fire a person for anything. I would sometimes come in and take over a job the next day after a person was fired or got sick and learn the accounts within a week. That's how replaceable you are. There is no 'family' at work, no loyalty, but get you give your best hours and behaviour to your work and come home tired and cranky for your family.
No, I will never work a 9-5 again.
Minimum wage paying employers: "WAAAHHHHH. People don't want to work any more!"
People: "No, people don't want to be abused and exploited any more."

BINGO!!!!!
It's really tough if you have kids. In the 70's some places even had on site daycare. Nobody cares anymore. Our kids suffer as well.
No loyalty no more. These companies look at everybody as expendable. It's so sad.
People are disgusting. I would never work in customer service again. You're right, the company would never back up the employee. And a lot of young managers and supervisors have no people skills and they are on a power trip. Giving employees a hard time. So going to work is hell on earth. People are lucky that don't have to work, and have to deal with the general BS day after day.
As someone who is in the 9-5 rat race, I can honestly say I am working harder than ever to get out of debt, stay out of debt, and become more self sufficient and self reliant. Retirement can't come soon enough! Thanks for your videos.
I couldn't agree with you more! Just look how people behave on airplanes now! We've become an uncivilized America; no respect, lack of compassion/empathy/morals, a sense of entitlement. I retired early to get out of the rat race. Not the wisest decision financially, but the best decision for my mental & emotional health. I spend my days in nature with my beloved dogs. Rocky & Nala are so adorable. 😊
A co worker had described it as "structured slavery" I totally agree...
Sweetheart, I've been working for the Post Office for 22 years. Everything, you're said is true. I'm counting down now 2.9 months left. I want to buy a 50 plus acre farm and work for me. No neighbors. I've lost ALL faith in humanity. Blessings babe
I tried to be a letter carrier but only scored 100% on the civil service test. The vets get a % grading curve. Seems like a dream job to me. High pay a free exercise with a retirement plan
That's the way I'd rather live my life. Away from all the drama in the countryside
Agree with you on all points!! I’m 53 and i retired from Federal Bureau of Prisons and you would think the inmates would be the cause of all the stress….. Nope! The amount of staff and administrators that did what they could to throw others “ under the bus” was unbelievable. You had to have 20 years in and be 50 years of age before you retire; and both hit at the same time for me and I was out of there. They had to hire 2 people to replace me by the way. Now I work part time in a school cafeteria… weekends, holidays, and summers off… yes please!
Thats what i want to do when i retire. My cousin is a cafeteria manager. Summers Off. My current Director of Public Safety at a state college is a retired CO from Connecticut. Shes 48 working on her PHD. How do you spell Motivated and Hungry. THe last thing i want when i retire is more stress plus achieving a PHD. F*** That.
The Problem: Managers and CEOs lack leadership skills. They think it's a waste of time to learn these valuable skills. So, as a result, here we are! I always said, "Hire Quality and treat your staff with respect and appreciation and they will work their guts out. So simple.
You can show up on time every day, go above & beyond, never call in sick only to be fired or let go for BS reasons. The only way to navigate this is to only put in very little effort and the work suffers as a result. I used to care but I stopped caring years ago
I'm am not sure how this video came into my feed but thank goodness. I no longer feel alone with not liking co workers, management or the crap jobs I've worked. Full time Proud professional mom.
True, it's a socially acceptable way for women to leave the workforce. Unfortunately, if a marriage breaks down though, the ex-husband can end up supporting an ex-wife for the rest of her life, as if she's a child, because she no longer has any marketable skills. This can be the case no matter what the cause of the marriage breakdown and the fact that she chose to leave (and stay out of) the workforce isn't usually taken into account by the courts. Custody and spousal support laws in the United States need to change...
Most employers wouldn't know a great employee if it hit them on the ass with a board. I decided long ago that I would never continue working for any employer that didn't respect me.
Totally get it. Took early retirement 3 years ago after suffering a heart attack after years of client workload being piled on top of me, no support and constant travelling and nights away from home. Only given 4 weeks paid sick pay so had to go back to work before I was ready this resulted in a second heart episode and another hospital visit. Now much happier on a fraction of the income I was on and discovered what’s really important in life. It’s amazing how much you buy but don’t need when you’re working and when you sell it you don’t miss it one single bit! My advice pay of your mortgage and debts and you can be free!
THANK YOU for calling it like it is! This is all 100 % accurate. It's all complete b.s. It's amazing what bosses and customers can get away with nowadays in terms of how they mistreat people.
I make a point to be extra kind when I'm out and about as this world is becoming more unkind and cold.
Best strategy, for sure! But also very difficult sometimes.
The best thing that ever happened to me was literally passing out and falling on my face and breaking my hands, I never have to work again as my country covers accident at 80% of my wages for 18months then I went on disability.
It happened when I was 6 yrs off retirement, I was totally burnt out from my very toxic low paid work environment. By the time this happened my adrenal and immune system was shot, and it caused permanent heart problems, my chronic fatigue was so bad for years taking a shower was too exhausting so it was a bath and that would be all I could manage for that day.
I have slowly gotten better and am know up to 60% of my old energy levels .
Why am I telling you this, it's as a warning to others to get out before you become me.
I left corporate America 5 years ago because NOBODY WANTED TO WORK! I was in my mid 40s and so were all my coworkers. Most of the employees put more effort into pretending to work than doing actual work -- and I was the guy pulling the weight of 3 or more people, doing critical path worth, and threatened with weekend work -- since the stuff I was working on was the most critical. It was both high stress and disgusting at the same time. I was livid. I was making maybe 10-15% more than the slackers -- but it wasn't worth it. The boss wouldn't do anything about it. That job lasted nearly 8 years. The job before that was largely the same. I figured if I'm going to work my ass off, stress out, and have my health deteriorate, I might as well work for myself. I'll sleep on the streets, under bridges, and in the gutter before I go back.
I hear you. You were greatly taken advantage of people can be so lazy selfish, and ungrateful.
Been fucked over in just about every job taken advantage of used up , underpaid , not treated with respect not taken seriously now im unemployed. Will be very careful in choosing my next job.
LOL, quit my job of 40 years, gave no notice, left company phone, key, etc on mgr desk, walked out at lunchtime and never went back...
I'm quiet by nature and other employees think it's a right to bully you. When I fight back, I'm labeled "difficult to work with" and I'm tired of it. My work performance has never been in question. Happened in my last two places of employment and I'm sick of it.
I've been exactly where you are, start your own business, go to vocational night school, learn a trade that will allow you to be your own boss, plumbing, electrical, automotive, carpentry, don't waste your youth working for someone else, go for it now
Being a nurse during Covid and now and how horrible people act and treat nurses and the things that they expect done for them. I am so over working as a nurse or anywhere for that matter. I have no faith in humanity. I’m so sick of people add to that the opioid pandemic, it’s really really hard to work as a nurse. I don’t know if New York is worse than other states but here it sucks.
Your experience in the workplace is the #1 reason to live a frugal lifestyle! You have reached a point in your life where you can live YOUR WAY! Congratulations!
I've noticed I am having a hard time holding my temper so I just avoid places. Eating out for fast food is a challenge cause no one speaks English so you never get what u order. For the price I want what I order. Then if someone is treating the employee bad I can't hold my tounge. It's better for me to stay home.
@MarvdinZ I do and hubby takes the left overs to work but sometimes it's nice to get fast food.
As a manager at a grocery store a lady yelled at me at the top of her lungs for about 5 minutes
It was Christmas Eve and she told me I ruined her family's Christmas because we didn't have shoe laces that were "the right length"...to the point we had to have security escort her out...she was definitely one of those 6 out of 100. Lol
Amen sister! I spent 5 years working automobile collections, and then 2 years working in mortgage collections before I was able to DRAAAAGGGGGGGGGG myself out from that hole. I taught myself how to code on RUclips and now have a tech job making far more money than I ever did in those industries, with freedom and flexibility. Last week I spent a week in Rio de Janeiro working remote during the week and exploring the city and laying on the beach on the weekend. I say this not to brag but to give people hope that there is a better life after quitting a customer-facing job!
My advice to my kids and everyone, be self employed. Learn a trade and start your own business. Plumbers, electricians, mechanics, even carpenters. they’re all needed and in my area there’s a shortage of all these positions. I’m a self employed land surveyor and I’ll never work for anyone again. Work out of my house, no commute, and work as much or as little as I want. Take vacation when I want. The only downside to it is you have no pension, paid retirement program, or paid insurance. But it’s still the way to go as most companies now don’t offer pensions and more and more are cutting insurance benefits.
Every employee is a temp, they always have been.
Yup. Replaceable. Gone are the days of loyalty to a company. You could work for one over 20 years. Will let you go to save their own ass. They have no loyalty to you! All business.
Unions are essential.
@@E.C.2 Totally agree
Very true
Absolutely! Worked for the City in several dept. 1978 til 2020. During the covid tightening budget all the old timers were let go. I had less than a year til decent retirement. Now living on 55% of what I made. PP has been a big help with advice and tips. Minimalism and budgeting doesn't hurt. Not always comfortable as adjustments are made... but PP has been a gift and Rocky and Nala are the cherry on top!❤❤❤
I didn’t get a promotion because I don’t allow people to mistreat me. The one who kissed a$$ was promoted. It’s disgusting but I’d rather make less money that put up with rude, patronizing, condescending attitude. I’m working on my way out.
Really sad that many of us really only realize this after it’s almost (too late) I’m 66yrs old my bones all hurt because I’ve work so hard trying to have enough money (when I’m older)FORGET IT, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!… now I’m trying to find a little place out in Nature to live among the Trees and hope I’ll be happy ❤❤
I was a Dental-Lab technician for many years. Talk about "Karens"!! My co-workers(most) were terrible. It was like being in High School all over again. I work for myself now. I'm the only one that can piss me off now. Much better. Remember... NO ONE that you work with is really your friend. Back-stabbing around every corner and cubicle!!
After COVID people are so rude. I agree with you.
Absolutely and too comfortable.
So glad I stumbled on this because I have wondered what is wrong with ME for years. I hated the toxic workplace! My second to last job (there for 15 yrs.) and the last 3 years were HELL under a bullying/micro-managing manager that would not leave me alone. I stayed too long, just walked out one morning after one more stint of her bullshit but I got myself so sick I had to take a year and a half off , sell my little house in a down market and find a rental. I am a 68 yr. old widow and only have government pension but I don't care if I have to sleep in my car , I will never join the workplace again, life is too short and its real nice to finally not have to wake up to an alarm clock. All the best from Canada
Right on! Kick that alarm clock to the curb. I did and it feels great!
The more i live, the easier it is to accept passing on. Ive listened to many Near Death Experiences on You Tube and it gives me serenity and peace that we have a reward coming. Sorry for your miserable female boss. Ive come across a few. Miserable women bosses are the devils gate keepers. They are Hitler reincarnated.
It's not you. Healthy people do not fit into toxic environments. It's not you.
This girl is so bang on with everything. Workplaces are toxic
I am 41 and I quit my career of 17 years in corporate finance last year. I've never worked in a call center, but working in the corporate world, as glamorous and snazzy as it sounds and looks, is like being in high school, really! You have the whining princesses, you have the lazy ones who do nothing but always seem to get away with everything, you have the boss's pet who gets the best projects and then gets promoted, you get the honest workers who everyone steps on, you get the backstabbers, the perverts and the psychopaths. Nobody is really safe from anyone else.
The work, although physically safe, is soul-less and mind-numbing, you are literally a slave chained to your desk, and you are supposed to be happy that you have a job and be thankful for the slavery.
True story: I worked at one point at the world's biggest commercial property management company, and every quarter we would get these emails about how well the company is doing, is expanding, is making record profits, winning contracts, etc, etc, so when it came time for the performance review at the end of the year and I asked for a raise, I was told that employee raises 'were not in the budget'. And this happened when I KNEW that management were getting bonuses for the great work that the EMPLOYEES were doing! This is the mildest of all the stories I could tell you about working in the corporate world. First class, modern slavery.
I’ve had the “no raise” thing happen more times than I can count
Was the name of your former company CBRE?
@@PrepperPrincess So, when this happened to me, I changed companies and gave myself a raise. In 17 years, I worked for about 8 companies and I moved so often either because the work itself was shit, there was no opportunity for me to advance, other people with less qualifications were promoted before me, there were no salary raises, or I was offered a better pay somewhere else. Like you, I realized that companies have no loyalty towards their employees and then why should I????? SO, I did the best I could for myself every time and never looked back.
Worked as an RN for 30+ years. In the beginning, it was about the patient, as it should be. As time grew, I could see the shift from patient centered care to staffing cuts-work harder with no raises, changing shifts affecting child care, forcing one to take positions that they don’t want or over qualified/ under qualified for, demeaning management, threatening, bullying, etc. I could go on and on! RNs have it hard!!!It’s stressful! Management sucks! Do more work with less staff and still get no patient complaints. ENOUGH! I quit! Nursing is not about patient care. It’s about the almighty dollar! ✅ DONE!
I gave myself the best birthday present ever, when I turned 55: I quit my job. And I will never go back. All those points you made happened to me, too. I still get anxiety just thinking about it. Prepper Princess, I completely support your decision.
I’m a black college graduate who would be laid less than a white boy without a college degree if I worked for corporate America, but homie don’t play that- so I employed self when I worked, but now I’m retired and live off taxes of those who are favored by the system, and I’m loving it since retiring at 45.

Love how you started it out by playing the victim and blaming white people
Even in Australia all this goes on. HR departments are hideous.
I once worked at a call center that timed bathroom breaks. You were given exactly one minute to do your business and get back on the lines or else. It also taught me to run from companies that have a "destress room" or a meditation room of sorts. It means the job is insanely difficult and many times I have watched coworkers use these rooms as a private place to bawl their eyes out.
Completely agree, my daughter has been mistreated so many times at jobs she has had, it breaks my heart to see a young, eager persons spirit crushed by nasty people.
And it can crush a person's spirit too when they find out banks get to create ALL our money as interest-bearing debt owed to THEMSELVES. The USA is run by greedy, lying, controlling thieves - to put it bluntly.
You nailed it. I'm 60 and out of work. I think the only way is self-employment.
I have been living in the USA since 2001. Came from a hispanic country where employees used to be polite to each other. It took me 6 months and two different companies to understand that working to corporate America is not a good place to be. I have been self-employed since.
I needed a day off once and the person that was supposed to cover for me didn't show up, so I got fired. I found out later it was just a plan to get rid of me .
Yup they will throw you under the bus without remorse.
So many people are working their entire lives making low wages that never let them live comfortably or feel secure in retirement. That is a dirty little secret about the USA.
I quit the work force 8 years ago and became my own boss, going from$1500/ monthly to $8000 monthly. I was 57 and couldn't stand the nick picking, lies, backstabbing amongst coworkers, horrible bosses etc. Best decision I ever made.
.
Taking that risk to be an entrepreneur is so difficult and tricky. Glad it worked out for you! 🙏
What kind of business did you get into? I’m like you-58, and absolutely refuse to take crap like that anymore, but don’t know what kind of business to start.
I always had children at my home since the age of 20, love children, so that was my passion.
I’m a black college graduate who would be laid less than a white boy without a college degree if I worked for corporate America, but homie don’t play that- so I employed self when I worked, but now I’m retired and live off taxes of those who are favored by the system, and I’m loving it since retiring at 45.
@@fredx2696 “Laid” less? You mean paid less?
Feel...ya...I retired at 55. At 55 I was out working 20 year Olds. No one showed up..on their phones. No work ethic. .so you have to do more and more.
I worked for a TV news station for 8 years and when the pandemic hit, I quit my job. The straw that broke the camels back was when the CEO mentioned in a meeting that he thought about paying off everyone's vacation time but instead decided to have us use it instead. I was furious because there wasn't enough workers that could fill in for vacations, they forced half the workforce to stay at home, there was no way in hell we were going to use our vacation time that year, it was use it or lose it, that was about 2 months into the pandemic with no end in sight. The BLM riots happened and it was like Covid-19 disappeared. The media was calling Conservative protests super spreaders a few weeks prior to the BLM riots, it was so stupid and so destructive, I have no freaking clue why the media sided with the violence it was sickening. The damage was really bad, people's life's were destroyed and the media flamed the hatred, there were days where I almost walked out of the control room, I could barely direct the newscast, it was soul crushing how the media handled that. There are very evil people working in the media, I remember when Trump killed that Iranian leader, the newsroom got all excited over the possibility of WWIII. Producers had gigantic smiles at the possibility that we were going to die in war.
The younger generation have watched parents and grandparents grind their lives away at jobs they hate, for crap wages, lousy or no benefits, for management that doesn’t care. Many salaried workers work 50-70 hours weekly. Why would one want to stay in the workforce?
You have to buy your freedom out of the workforce
You nailed it!!!
Yes, quit shopping on holidays! When I was a kid in 1970's everything was closed on holidays. We need to get back to that.
Companies want to pay peanuts, but want someone who's putting in long hours & living work. The owners & shareholders make the money, whilst the employees earn junk. And they'll replace you in a millisecond without batting an eyelid. That's why I'm no longer about loyalty or hard work
They’ll tell you that “the customers always come first” so this gives the customers all the power to treat the employee how they want
The sociopath/psychopath numbers are increasing.
What I’ve learned over my many years working in corporate offices is that most people in managerial positions are totally incompetent. They’re literally “winging it” until they’re fired but then they just move on to the next higher-paying job doing the exact same thing. They’re gifted at schmoozing and kissing corporate ass but when it comes to doing actual work: zilch.

Exactly.
Totally agree with you.

"The customer is always right" is one of the biggest lies ever imposed on the world.
Exactly it's overrated
Ofc.🤷♂ The owners of the companies don`t really care about their customers, they care about the money the customers brings them....and they certainly don`t care about their employees other than the profit they will bring them.
The employees are just tools that they try making producing as much as possible for as less money as possible.
The employees are just a pain in the ass that cost money while customers brings them money.
That`s why they pretend to care about the most horrible customers while they make life as horrible as possible for the employees.
Ofc. they will try to pretend that they care about their employees with giving them praise when they are making profit. Like all these inspirational bullshit speeches.😄
" If you just give the idiot enough praise for his work, he will work himself to death".
Capitalism will only create a new monarchy system in the end, where most of the money end up in a few rich families.
Anyone with a brain understand this. The big owners runs the whole country and they use(buy) the politicians to get what they want.
Oh the things I could respond to this with... But I won't. Just an FYI - HR is not your friend or on your side, no matter what lies they tell you to get you to talk to them. They get paid by the company, to gather information for your file so they can get rid of you. But I got rid of them instead, when I retired! I tried to tell the boss some things, but he wouldn't listen and he didn't think I could retire, in his mind he thought I needed that job, which I didn't. Also coworkers are not you're friends either. Thanks for you and your channel
In 1979 my first job was a checker at a convenience store. Customers were quite rude then too. They screamed, cursed, and occasionally threw items at me. Hateful angry sick headed people have always been around.
People have gotten worse to the point where I’d rather live in a tent then have this life. Or rather live out of my vehicle…
I'm totally with you! Worked for a company for 22 years and was replaced by a temp worker. Currently enjoying walking dogs and boarding dogs at my home. Making less, but no assholes to report to and no more putting up with long hours and being enclosed in a cubicle all day. Great video!!
I have been retired from my working life for 15 years now and what you are running out was going on then as well. It is when they introducted mirco management and the HR component that the work place went off the rails. I am so glad I am no longer working for someone else now.
I couldn't agree more. Toxicity in the workplace has become the new pandemic.
Coworkers get so butthurt if you arent willing to divulge your entire life story and be their best friend in 5 minutes from the moment they meet you. 🤣🤣🤣
If you want to keep your professional life and your personal life separate you're immediately labeled as unfriendly and get prepared to be blackmailed.
I’m only 35, started first job after school at 14 then worked 2 jobs for 15 years, haven’t returned to work since I was fired from both jobs during the pandemic. have done a few short contract placements. Now moved states, purchased our off grid home without a mortgage, live debt free and can’t see me returning to 2 jobs or even one beyond something that truly interest me. I understand the customer frustration as well, too many businesses over promise and under deliver.
And they wonder why so many people are dropping out of the workforce!
LOL....I got some PTSD from this video. After, I retired from my actual profession due to wrist problems, I tried the call centers for a few years. I usually worked in the retention/escalation dept. because of the bonus structure. I didn't mind the customers abrasive attitudes, as I just casually listened to the yelling and reclined in my chair and filed my fingernails, with intermittent....'Oh, Dears & I am so sorry that has happened.' Sometimes I put them on hold to "Investigate" and I would come back in a few minutes with fresh coffee and a pastry. I learned pretty quickly how to manipulate these narcissists'. I made crazy money, but I also HATED my job. I would have to listen to a bad call I made with management every now and then, but I always told them I had a migraine or bad IBS that day. I was waiting for them to fire me so I could take a little break and collect unemployment. I NEVER got fired tho. Probably because I never did anything illegal. Anyhoo...I now collect my retirement and resell clothing online. Awwww....it feels sooooooooo good!!
I think part of the problem is that people have gotten used to technology that does everything instantly for them. And then they upgrade to even faster technology. People are used to computers that just keep getting faster, and the computers silently take whatever abuse is hurled at them. People aren't computers - they are human. But it seems like fewer and fewer people are willing to allow people to be human. Fewer people are patient enough and compassionate enough to allow humans enough time to be human - time to eat, sleep, bathe, go to the bathroom, process information, etc. It is a frightening reality.
Yes, 2 days from now I will leave my ultra stressful job and if that means going to live back with my mom at 52 years old, so be it! Life is too short to be so unbalanced that it effects your breathing. Great video and at the exact right time!!!
I hope you won't be a burden to your mom
@@alicerees1286 nope. No burden to her at all! When I have moved home a number of times throughout the years I always pay rent. No different this time if I do but looks like I will not be any time soon. So rest easy. 😂
Working 1 job is kind of hell. Working 2 jobs is definitely hell.
Here in Canada. Walked off my last job for things like that. Totally get what you are saying. I am dedicated worker and it just is so sad to be treated these ways.
I'm a supply teacher (substitute) in the UK and I have complete control over where, when and if I choose to work. I will never be a full-time teacher again as it is simply modern day slavery. Parents are entitled, children are poorly behaved and the system is toxic unless you are in control of the work. If I encounter any kind of unreasonable behaviour from the adults or pupils in a school, I simply walk away there and then. Thanks for the video.
