@LegionOfMenYT I've taken a lot of flak for this video but i don't regret making it. It's been 2 years sense i quit that job and I'm now 1099 and have no regrets. You made a lot of great follow up points. Well done on your presentation.
In my team, we maintain and repair machines in a plant, 2 years ago they hired a young woman who doesn't know how to use portatives tools ( how do i change drill 8 to 10 m? ). At night, the team prefer to play videogames online. We would be better in an esport competition than repairing machines, some use tiktok.. this job is crazy . And i have the same salary... I am searching a new job And learn online to have a side budiness... Incommetence and lazyness is too much awarded...open bar !
After getting fired from my last job for, "not knowing how to talk to my coworkers", I began looking for my next shitty job. I looked around my garage and realized I'd amassed thousands in tools. I was always handy around my house and helped friends and family with theirs. I sold my Mustang, bought an $800 F150 truck. I slowly fixed it and put it into service. Now I build fences and do handyman services when business slows during winter months. I have money in the bank and keep my mortgage 3 months paid off. As my company grows, I'm going to pay off my little house. Change the rules to benefit you boys...
Maybe for a short period of time in some places. For most of human history some sort of slavery has been the norm. We are back in those feudal days unless you are lucky to escape
The same happened to me. 35 years at a Fortune 500. No party, no watch, no goodbyes, just sign out for the last time at the guardhouse. The only closure I got was that my boss had completely forgotten how to do his job (much less my job), and made a disaster of the place. Not only did he get fired 6 months after I left, they closed the whole place and 50 people lost their jobs. They had no idea how much work I was doing, or how I was doing it. Until it stopped getting done.
Never marry your company. It is only a stepping stone to your next opportunity. This isn't new, I realized that over 40 years ago after 2 years out of college.
I've worked for over 5 years at 3 different companies and every single one of them has ignored me since I left. I contrast that with my father who still catches up with people who he worked with for a few years over 20 years ago.
@comicus6769 Good advise, and common sense now. 40 years ago the workplace was different. At a Fortune 500 (FedEx in my case), you had a virtual family at work. They trained you in detail. Mentored you. Big companies gave superior benefits, and a way up the ladder for the little guy. You had hope, and a future, so you gave them your best. No longer true at present.
7/31 was my last day. In Healthcare. Had a higher up admin get in one of my co workers faces during a meeting. The behavior was swept under the rug and I was told to just over look the incident. These jobs are wild.
I worked at factory with the worst a-hole boss. Wrote me up for being 2 minutes late. There was a work area, maybe 15 x 30 feet that was the machine work area. They didnt give you a reason to leave except for your scheduled break. I stepped 8 FOOT out the 'work square to read a bulletin. I see the boss walk right my way I thought " really? he's really got an issue with me slightly stepping outside the work zone for 15 seconds". Sure enough " what were you doing over there?" I knew right then and there I need to put together a real quick exit plan
Especially Feminist managers who was angry that you ,a married guy working under her, need a day off to help take care of your Children. While she took days off to take care of her sick cat and hot grrll vacays because the work that she push to you is stressful.🤷🏼♂️
Yea this old timer said something that was perfect. Companies and unions are run by the fbi . Friends, brothers, and in laws. It's nit shout hard work it's about who likes you
Especially in unionized places. I'm literally made fun of by colleagues because I care about doing good work and I work hard. Even my supervisor mocks me... I wish I could just work for myself remotely and be a van lifer. That is my dream.

He busted his ass for a company for 12 years and got absolutely nothing for it. No promotions, no management positions and most likely no raises. No wonder guys are checking out and quitting. Corporations have killed any incentive to be loyal.
Know your opportunity cost and practice it. If you act like a welcome mat, they will treat you as a welcome mat and walk all over you. If they want above average effort, they need to incentivize above average effort.
One typical path is “changed jobs every 18 months until he achieved good income and was seen as an asset, then secretly started a side business. Quit job when side business could pay the bills.” Another typical path is “got job, went to work, kept doing job while hoping someone did something for him, eventually laid off.” The choice of paths is yours. Just don’t whine about the consequences of following either path.

A steady paycheck is a drug that puts you to sleep. Stuck in a bluepill fog, you never take any risks, your dreams remain dormant. Your world becomes small.
😂 that’s because you’re just a slave. We’re all slaves to the corporations and people haven’t realized it yet. The corporations completely own the cities you live in you go to work for the corporation you leave the corporation you go spend money with the corporation at Starbucks they’re owned by the same people you didn’t go to the grocery store and you buy groceries owned by the same corporation. You didn’t go home to your shitty apartment owned by the same corporation rock Vanguard in State Street own the entire western world every single business that is franchise is owned by these three subsidiaries so you go work all day at Amazon go to the grocery store spend money at a store owned by the same people who own Amazon get owned by the same people who own Amazon, go to your apartment building owned by the same people who own Amazon walk your dog at the park owned by the same people who own Amazon do you get the drift yet 😂😂
lol. Yeah ignore the millions of graves of dreams of people that took risks and failed. Not everyone can take risks if they did then risk taking will be just another job.
Same deal with auto mechanics . Worked for 12 years and wanted to pay max 25/h . I jumped ship and changed my career path a bit. I now make 100+k a year.
@2pacorwhat there's a podcast called "diary of a ceo" and the host interviews ceo's of lots of companies. He regularly asks them "Does hard work matter?", they almost always say they got lucky and that their luck was more important than work.
I live in Houston Texas. I was working at Memorial Herman Hospital in the diagnostics lab. I have a bachelors degree in biology. The pay I was given was 15 an hour part time. We were responsible for diagnosing leukemia and blood cancer patients. I worked directly under the doctor of pathology. He would come to me directly after I prepared blood and bone marrow samples so he could start his analysis. Needless to say I quit after 3 months. I went to other labs and none would pay over 15 an hour. I make more money today working for myself as a pet sitter and mobile dog groomer than I did working at a hospital as a lab tech responsible for diagnosing leukemia patients. The work force is beyond screwed up
It’s insane. I charge $30 dollars just to visit someone’s house and let their dogs out in the backyard to do their business. I make 30 bucks in less than 10 minutes and I work within a 10 mile radius. Most of my customers are 15 minutes away at the most.
At Walmart, I worked there for 8 years, they hired new people in my department and wanted me to train of course. And I found out these lazy 16 year old kids I was training made more than me. I was at my boiling point at this point. I will never work for anyone else ever again. I will die before I ever do that again. 1.5 years later, 5 online stores and crypto investing. Not super successful yet, but I will never quit pushing for success.

This is what happened when Rome fell. Romans citizens would not work jobs that were not prestigous and would not fight in the military. Rome used mass imigration to try to stay afloat for a long time but, eventually all the imports did the same thing. Immoral and Ungodly societies crumble quickly, just like the west is crumbling now. Look at Afghanistan, the government had vastly superior military equipment to the Talibahnis, had a larger and better trained army. Afghans government and army fell and surrendered in minutes, because they did not believe in the lack of morals the western government pushed on them. In other words, they were not willing to give their lives for the perceived freedoms the us had given them. People need to believe in and feel at least ok about the world they live in to be productive. When society turns into garbage, people will do the bare minimum required to survive, they will risk nothing for the society that hates them.
@@EddieNotFound1 If they could do everything idiots accuse them of then it means they truly are superior to you. They deserve to rule over people like you if they can do what you accuse them of because they truly are superior to you. The reality is you are simply ignorant of reality. Look around you. Whites and blacks and everyone else are extremely corrupt and plenty are willing to destroy their own people. Godless atheists are why western society is collapsing and it will NEVER again improve to what it once was. GODless globalist leftists are destroying everything
This guy is way wrong about the afghans. Bro all of the men went and joined the taliban. All of the weaker men sided with the US. Have you seen them being trained? They couldn't do peoper jumping Jack's. So yeah during our cowardly withdraw the boys came back and immediately took over.
I worked in the corporate world for 5 years, the feminism is deeply entrenched an after watching some 20 something female with 3 months experience get promoted while I get more work pushed to me. Quit on a Friday with no notice, I owed them nothing
It's not just corporate jobs. Employers with as little as 10 employees can treat you like caca. Been there a few times. The reason your boss got successful and profitable- you're about to find out why when you work for him a while Freelance or your own business is the way
I worked at a leading SAAS CRM provider in the bay area and found the same thing, they embraced the "gender wage gap" agenda, women were randomly given raises, the rest of us were ignored, then despite the fact that many of us men had been leaders in the group I was in, years of experience, they would hire random women, make us train them for a few months, then promote them to be our managers, despite the fact we had to still tell them how things worked. This is just one of the MANY major insults the company subjected us to on a regular basis.. And people wonder why men are disgusted with the working world, "no good deed goes unpunished",,
Wage suppression over the last 20 yrs is almost as bad as it was during the Industrial Revolution. Hence, the explosion of billionaires over that same period.
I was at $22/hr in 2012. Took me to 2020 to get back to that at different job. I’m now at 26. So in 12 years I gained a whopping $4 an hour. Meanwhile inflation has risen 20-25%
@@sues3218Not really. Democracy is setup in such a way that you the voter vote in a person who that has no real political or economic power. No president in the Western world is in charge of money creation. He cant effect one single reality in your country. Are you getting this?? No single reality of socio economic life of the country. The true power is in those people that give you employment. Those are the banks and multinationals. They hold all the resources and manufacturing in monopolies.
I worked in HVAC and I did the same thing. After my best friend died, I realized how fleeting this all is. Living to work doesn't make sense anymore. I work at a doggy daycare now and I couldn't be happier. I honestly love going to work and that is priceless.
Ironic thing about it all is that all this leadership that is corrupt/incompetent are mostly the ones who listened to advice that this channel gives: stop working for others, go out and start your own business. They went out and couldn't hack it. Their workers pay the price for it.
I worked for a Fortune 500 company that was ranked s one of the happiest places to work and it was the most miserable fucking job I ever had. I enjoy my job now even though I make no more than what I was earning when I was 19. No shitty coworkers, no shitty bosses, no shitty hours.
I work for one of the largest companies in the world. Shitty work environment. Bosses putting their work assignments on you with no extra money. Told I am hard working but it’s “not my time” because they “need more woman in management.” I was also pulled aside after a team meeting before and asked if I noticed something about my team… I was confused and asked what? Then the sr manager proceeds to say “it’s all white guys.” We were the most productive team… and I had to hear this bullshit criticism. I really don’t give a fuck for that woke garbage and that is just one of the many things that killed my motivation.
A 60 year old lady was found dead after four days at a Wells Fargo Bank!!! She died at her corporate office and no-one cared or noticed. Whatever her story she had a life, she was a child once with dreams and hopes. None of us are meant to die at corporate offices. Disgusting and shame on the Wells Fargo CEO and share-holders. Leave your corporate jobs they don't care. Start local businesses. Good luck out there.
Another story of a guy on a hiking retreat. They left him to die because he couldn't keep up. They also removed the markers from the mountain. Pure evil bosses and co workers.
This dude ain't lyin. I worked as a selector at a warehouse and I remember having to train myself on the Hi-Lo because the idiot that was supposed to be training me was always busy flirting with the dusty female workers that gave him attention. I can absolutely relate to this guy's hardships.
What’s funny it’s has happen at every job I ever worked at and I worked at quite a few different jobs. There’s always women that sleep they way to the top that aren’t qualified at all to be a manager its crazy
That's every warehouse it seems. The hard working men that females complain never approache them... Are focused working. So who's left? They slacking dudes who come to work and seem to come in just to talk on the phone or to other chicks at work. You'll see her get in his car during lunch and you know they in a parking lot somewhere getting it in. Then they come back and do no work. Don't even wanna sweat a little cause that means no 😺 on lunch. And guess what man is left on seen.... The man working and trying to actually make something of himself.
A lot of this is men's fault. Some "limp" male manager goes and promotes useless whymen who do nothing but show up to work in tight clothes. Many of the whymen know what they are doing. They use their sacks appeal, if they have any, to manipulate thirsty men who think they might have a shot. I saw this happen in when I was in college. Some goof basically took every engineering class with a whyman and earned her degree for her. He asked her out senior year and got the "I see you as a brother" reply.
@@BDAthleticInsider Yup I worked at a warehouse where the owner hired an attractive woman to a higher up management position. You know exactly why she got hired, just look good for the investors when they take a tour of the place... But of course she acts like she earned it the hard way and is just smarter.
If you are an EPA certified HVAC tech, NEVER work for an apartment complex . You will receive low pay, no recognition. A newly hired female right out of high school as a greeter will be your boss! Anyone in the office is considered your boss! They know absolutely nothing, can't do your job or any part of it. But you can do theirs! Go work for yourself!! You will never go anywhere in the multifamily housing community, but the office staff will blame you every time upper management questions the property "manager" about the property's poor performance. DON'T WORK FOR THEM!!!
This is 100% facts🎉 I had the job as lead maintenance technician in charge of all the AC🎉 a girl out of college is somehow my boss🎉 I was okay with that🎉 but then she started coming to work for an hour a day salary so she didn't have to worry about it🎉 they paid her 25,000 more than me to do nothing🎉 then she started saying that maintenance people are actually extremely easy to replace😂😂 all upper management thought that HVAC repair was easy🎉 I found another job and quit she's still there and now they call an outside company because they can't find an HVAC guy🎉 outside company will only replace entire units😂 they probably spent $300,000 this year after I left
The nail in the coffin for me was working for 3 years at a company for peanuts, The boss decided that his son who was 17 years old and straight out of college with no experience, was good enough to become assistant manager for $80k a year, The kid was not only useless at the job but lost the company alot of money, I quit a few weeks later, Then found out from a friend a few years later that the company went under
I had a similar thing happen to me a few years back. Only I worked for a remote hospital in rural Alaska! I saw it all including: -A CEO who slept her way to the top AND protected her married lover who stole $108k. She eventually resigned. But the hospital has gone through four CEO's in two years. -Sexual harassment and workplace violence -Supervisors who didn't know the first thing about quality processes in hospital labs -Getting the same pay regardless of your contribution. It was a union shop. -Being asked to work all three shifts while favorites get the cushy assignments -Being called in to work 5 days after a hip replacement (It was a light assignment, thankfully) -People who were caught lying about lab results and didn't lose their jobs The Western health care system is one of the most corrupt systems in human history

Recently retired myself, left nice and quiet. Director and supervisor did catch me around mid-day on my last day asking if I was ready to retire in a few months. I reminded them that was my last day, and they seemed to have been surprised. I'd informed them well over 6 months ahead of time, and no concerns throughout all that time. Seems they were counting on me to help them get all their network security in shape for a major inspection. Since they left early that last day of the year, I simply finished putting what little 'hand over' material I didn't have anyone to take over for, put my IDs on the supervisors desk, and left. Not even a 'thanks for 32 years of service'. Actually, I was the last one out of the building that day, so pretty quiet when I did leave.
Haaahaaa. Did the same thing. My goal was to retire before 50. I dropped a two week notice at my government job right before an annual audit they I always did all the work for.... Good luck next month on the audit none of you did shit for.... I'm out. I've been in the Philippines for a year now.

Yep. I worked happily for BBVA for over 10 years. Our leadership got in trouble over in Spain and were subsequently forced to sell off their US-based assets. PNC was allowed to buy us, and everything went downhill from there. BBVA alone could pull in $1B in profit during a great quarter….now they can’t even hit $1BN WITH BOTH BANKS under one roof….lol. They, first, fired all of the contractors, most of whom were work visa holders from abroad. Next, they fired all of the HR folks, quickly followed by Mortgage. They, then, fired the rest of the remaining Devs, and began to rent our their floor space to a whole other company….lol….within our secured building. They, then, hired some lesbian police officer with zero tech experience for me to train up on our CSIR Policies & Procedures, as well as our tools and our forensic examination process. Two months later….I was shitcanned for an innocuous political tweet from 6 months prior. Fuck PNC. Fuck Wokeness. Fuck the liberal elite.
In a different era these bosses wouldn't get away with it. In fact there's already some modern cases where bosses, managers, judges, etc forced men into situations with nothing to lose... and, well, lets just say those men delivered a different type of justice and those 'authority figures' are no longer around
I relate to what he's saying on a spiritual level. I worked as a dishwasher in a retirement home, cleaning filth-encrusted dishes through a noisy machine that spat scalding water at me, for hours, washing thousands of dishes a day on a dangerous, slippery floor and they SEE I'm getting overwhelmed because we're understaffed and THEN, they ask me to be a food server too because they REFUSE to hire more people. And then, naturally, I get paid the same as the bums that talk too much in the workplace, start drama, cause fights and doesn't HELP anyone AT ALL. And of course the managers will play favorites because everything has to be a damn clique.
Yo thank you for your service bro!!! Washed dishes at a bunch of restaurants when I was younger & I’ll forever have a soft spot for that position, an introvert’s dream!! If I could get paid $50 an hour to do that I’d still be doing it

Immigration was bumped up in the 60s, and then feminism encouraged women to compete with men for the same jobs in the 70s. The 80s had lots of offshoring of industry, and the 90s had NAFTA.

He asked his friends and family to meet him by his car when he walked out for the last time.

26 years in IT in the Midwest. People always thought, “Hey you’re in IT, you’ve got it easy. You make tons of money, you work 9-5, it’s so easy.” Nothing is farther from the truth. Years of 12-14 hour days, years of on call, missed vacations, missed family gatherings, worn out and tire at the age of 45. I have worked in IT for corporate entities, government, MSPs, manufacturing you name it and nothing ever changed. I left IT to go to a very small company run by a vet doing security. I’m done with large companies, small companies still care about their employees, they actually want you to succeed. Been there, and that’s the truth.
I've been in IT for about 20 years now. I just turned 40 and im exhausted. there is never enough help, constant demands, and you are expected to perform miracles with nothing most of the time. Thinking of leaving myself and doing something else. I'm spent.
Funny, I work in IT too. And today, I got two emails from two different ass-kissing middle managers, with about 10-12 other people copied in on it - all to ask me about a failure of a program to run a spreadsheet and import it into Oracle. “Why was there no notification?” they ask. “How did it fail?” they ask. I really wanted to tell them the hard truth about “Agile” that they don’t know - it was the push to get the program into prod, and worry about “the little details” later. All of which nobody cares about once it was deployed 2 months ago. Now TODAY, they are all concerned with details…. 😂😂 Hooray for Agile & Scrum Masters. Not.
Your boss wants you to succeed because he's a good persona dn a good business owner. The size of the company has nothing to do with it. I've worked for mom and pop shops that have been total dog shit

I saw this early on, after a bunch of crappy hourly jobs i bought an old pickup, a harbor freight compressor, a used hopper and started offering $100 drywall patches. Got my contractors license a few years later and now i work when i want, for who i want, for the amount i want. I absolutely love it, i soak up audiobooks and the customers are always appreciative. Doesnt need to be something prestigious, just find something you dont mind doing every day and work to be the best at it. Best of luck out there my brothers
This happened in Romania between 2000and 2010. Companies had a saying " if you don't like it here just leave, there are 20 outside the gates waiting for a job ". And now are bringing people from India and Bangladesh to replace the work force, because between 2010 and 2020 most working age people went to other countries.
Forcing the same swedish shit... Hoping they will not stay, and more Romanians returning because of the current state of western europe under occupation..
As in Croatia, they would say to workers : I can jerk off from my dick 20 guys like you" Now they can jerk off third world piss poor bastards, nobody left there, everybody fled to Germany
I am a former Engineering middle manager. Saved my duckets and have a nice pension besides. Shortly before I left, I was told to cut salaries, up to 40%. This was while they were pushing DEI (translated, "flavor of the month"). The stress put me in the ICU, and I left. It didn't used to be this way. Little or no upward mobility. Hire based upon who knows who, and put out crappy product. Ask Boeing. They're killing their customers, slowly but surely.
Young men take it from a 55+ yr old truck driver...become debt free, skip the women, buy an old car that you can work on, live very frugal, learn a trade skill and learn smart investing and get the fk OUT of the company job garbage. If you have a passion and can leverage making money with it...God bless you and God speed.
Agreed. Get an older car with normal r134a AC, fogger injection, and almost no computer "modules" outside of the ECM. Ideally a manual transmission if you have a highway commute - they get great gas mileage.
I'm 53 working a since I'm 13 years old now my wife has cancer most of my family is gone. I'm at a total loss trying to injoy my days as I get older. This country has failed me. I didn't fail my country
Your story mirrors mine. I'm 55 and have worked since I was 15, and have little to show for it. I got laid off during Covid and drained my 401k. I've been working in a dead end job for 20 years (my company brought me back after 6 months), because my immediate supervisor always was jealous and resentful of me and went out of his way to make sure I never advanced. Now my wife, who makes twice as much as I do, has spent the last 2 months in the hospital dealing with cancer. We have a 12 year old son too. I'm at the end of my rope. If my wife goes, I'll loose the house, have to file for bankruptcy, and be forced to be a single parent. I don't know what to do.
I got yelled at for refusing to perform a task I felt was unsafe. I walked out the door. Fuck this shit. My family needs me around more than the fucking job.
Don't blame you and you don't yell at me i only had one man that could get away wity that my dad no boss is gonna yell at me he might one time and I'll tell him FK off I don't deal with that shit
I saw a youtube video of a guy who was fired for being 15 late due to being stuck in traffic because of a car accident. The insane part was that this was his first time ever being late and he texted his boss with the photos of him being stuck in traffic a whole hour before he was even suppose to be at work. Corporations are not only not loyal, they don't have understanding.
I worked as an male RN for 28 years. I retired early at 62 because the last 6 or 7 years all these new RNs didn't want to work, just come to work to socialize while the good workers were forced to pick up their slack and help rather than holding them accountable. I was one of the good ones, never late, never missed a day but when it came to getting raises every year I would get $.50 while these new ones were getting 3 to 5% increases. So I asked every year why I'm not getting the same or better. Finally the last year before I retired I got an answer and was told. The longer you work here the less of a raise you get regardless of your work ethic. So hard work and loyalty means nothing to these people. There's more but I won't get in to that but this guy is right. Find something on the side and get out.
I worked at a grocery store for 13 years. I was sick and tired of working there. Just walking in the door gave me anxiety. While i was working there, i started my own contracting business. I worked both jobs for a few years until my business could sustain itself, and then i quit. Its now 15 years later and my business is going strong. It was the best move I've ever made! I love what i do, I'm free, and i make very good money.
I just retired from a grocery chain after 33 years. When l started it was a good gig! As time went on it got worse and worse. For all the reasons everyone is commenting about. Anyway, on July 12th the district director comes in at 7am with a one day notice and announces they're closing our store. I was turning 62 on the 20th. I gave my notice a few weeks later. She/they could've cared less.
They gave my job to two immigrants many times, The Canadian Government and voters will never be forgiven. If the only ones having kids are stupid for the last 40 years, then will they raise smart people? Who's left living now?,
If it's not obvious by now immigrants will replace the population in the upcoming years, sure the country will run but it's not going to be the same anymore.
I saw an ad for a job in the provincial gov. of NS many years ago. It basically said any bipedal creature except a white male could apply. That is at least over 20 years ago. I was 55 when I had a medical emergency and my wife demanded that I retire then and there. She was making twice what I was making at the time. I met her in 1967 and we're still together in our 70's. They don't make women like that anymore. Vows mean nothing to today's women.
I walked away from it all years ago. Managed to buy my house, rent it out, lived like a bum for a year until I could raise a mortgage on a second house, rented that out, bought a small cottage in the middle of nowhere, now I don't work at all and make enough to chill and enjoy life at 42. The grift just isn't worth giving up your life for.
BS Even with a high flying job and living like a bum for year you ain't gonna save up enough for a second property and definitely not a third one. So unless you got family money or are doing not so legal activities how are u making that level of cash when you walked as away as you put it Because most money that people get from renting out properties only really covers the costs of the house being rented out unless your just blatantly ripping of your tenants but thats your business not mine
@@cozzy4447it’s called leveraging. He is using other people’s money to pay for his cottage from the rental of the previous property. At current rental prices he has room to spare.
i worked in a warehouse for almost 10 years and its for the birds. No promotion opportunities, crap pay, and if you're a good employee they will run you into the ground and then fire you when you can't keep up any more. Being your own boss is the only way to go. The only reason i stuck around is i had a ton of health problems and they were willing to work with me towards the end if i had to miss days or do light duty. What i figured out is never put in the extra effort to save someone who is lazy.
@@honieebean No, despite of being in the workforce and being taxed, their amount of contribution is not the same as men's contribution in taxes. Women have shittier jobs most of the time though.
No. Buy a house, but rent out rooms for additional income. Trust me, you do not want to be at the mercy of a landlord, especially once you get into your senior years. Don't get married. I agree with you on that one. Find an easy job that you like that has a full benefits package. Learn as many specialized skills, trades, and professions as you can, and start legitimate businesses, so you can eventually quit your job if you so choose.
This happened to me as a certified medical assistant. Too many incompetent nurses that never finished school being hired just for taking a few classes. They’re literally killing people because they don’t know how to handle medication. And they will blame someone else.
Lol sounds like the casinos. Almost every woman I knew that had a high paying job at a casino got it from sleeping with the right people. I quit a job at a bank years ago. I was a computer operator, operating the computer processing, disaster recovery library, printing media, troubleshooting, and program testing for a billion dollar bank. Two of us worked every shift. The guy I worked with transferred to a different department and I wound up running the whole thing by myself for almost six months, no extra money, still getting everything done. They brought in another guy, who partied with the right people at the bank, and told me that I needed to train him and that he was going to be my manager. I got a job at a casino, didn't teach him anything, and put in my notice. They had to call me for months afterwards and ask me to come in to do stuff for them and pay me out the ass, to get stuff done. Sure would have been better for them if they had just treated me right.
The sad thing is, they probably calculated it was cheaper to hire you as a contractor for the short term than give a permanent pay raise over the long term.
i was working for a very large financial company, when i found out the lady data anaylist who was there for 6 yrs, and knew it all, had failed to rtfm and made a few errors, missing sql querys etc, and the end of the day she had created a system that made her look productive while costing the company to think that have over $2B in surplus profit, when i found the error guess who was let go, single mom had kids.
@@invalidaccount2315 we had a lady in the proof department that saved the bank a $200 million dollar error. They bought her flowers. No raise, no promotion, just flowers.
100% agreed! I was fired from my job of 23 years for refusing the mystery jabs. I was completely expendable to them, and my union was utterly useless. Fortunately I saw it coming, sold the house, moved and bought a better one, got debt free, banked a bunch of cash, and started collecting my pension at 55. I work part-time now, and can quit anytime I like. Life is good!

Taking risks and not being afraid of change helped me a lot in civil construction. 6 years ago I was a laborer making $60-70k a year. Fast forward to today, and I’m a superintendent with a great company in Alaska making a $130,000 salary, plus they pay me the same $2350 check every week even during the 6 months of winter when I DON’T WORK….i get to bring home great money in the most beautiful place in the world and only work 6 months a year
It’s true hard work counts for nothing anymore. I’m getting sick of being told over and over we might need to make changes. I’m a field enginner. I had it out one day telling them I’m sick of being threatened with my job and thier are consequences to messing with people’s lives.
In Canada, its really irksome to be expected to work like slave your whole life, when refugees get nearly 60k per year EACH, and for what? Sitting around doing nothing.

They all got new cars, and can afford all the increased cost of living, while the average Canadian can barely pay their bills. And thats just one group of many.

I did the same thing in trucking. Saved and lived cheap on the truck. Retired at 62 with some decent savings and everything paid off. Moved overseas afterwards.
15 YEARS I've been working for the NHS in the UK, and at 52 years old, I have now managed to work my way DOWN to MINIMUM WAGE!!!! The NHS workers have had almost ZERO pay rises for the last 15 years, so I am now literally working for the UK MINIMUM WAGE!!! £11.45ph!! My entire working life of over 35 years, and I've ended up on MINIMUM FUCKING WAGE!!! While the politicians that make the decisions (about my pay grade) have all probably DOUBLED THEIR INCOME over the same time!! What a FUCKING JOKE!!!
I was a machinist for 30 years, it used to be that a good machinist was a valuable thing, but the last 5 years of it was soul sucking. they treat you like a dog for shit pay for high skills. glad I retired,, now they are begging guys to come back, a good machinist is hard to find.
I'm a journeyman machinist and left that trade. You're 100% spot on. Machinist should be paid 50+ minimum, and they are out here paying 15-40 dollars an hour. What a joke.
ya im in cabinet making, i been doing it on and off for a decade. Most shops cant find anyone decent yet whenever i get hired somwhere i get treated like dog shit, yelled at, cussed at treated like human garbage. Im not saying im the best every but i know all the basics and some. My current boss is abusive and im not sure why i continue to do this sort of work, you would think more skills equal better treatment and pay but it doesnt actually work that way with these psychopathic bosses.
I recently quit after 10 years as a trucker for an organization. Hurt my back, got put on workmans comp & physical therapy for 6 weeks. Returned to have mgmt telling me they took away my seniority & route bid. Seniority was the only reason to stay with them. Good riddance.
even trade/Blue collar jobs are just as bad. they want x amount of experience and multiple certifications to barely pay your worth. Many wont hire if u will not do overtime too. And Everyone in the office positions make 2x or more than the people working hard on the floor producing the tangible work.
I left the job I'd held for 15 years. The job paid decently, and I enjoyed the actual productive work of the job. The thing that drove me nuts was the ridiculous office politics, the nepotism, and the rewarding of laziness by putting the extra work on the dwindling number of productive workers they had. Didn't take long before I was labeled as having a "bad attitude". It's reassuring to me that I'm by far not the only one with that experience.
The Post Office is notorious for promoting under qualified people, particularly “WOMEN” to higher rank positions such as management and other skill levels in a heartbeat. I’ve worked my ass off but in the end I’m always shitted on with other qualified men. When shit hits the fan, the same people that fuck us are the same people that begs us to help them out.
Former mail carrier for 2-3 years. Fuck the post office. The 204Bs were absolutely useless. Not enough carriers, and too many complaints from people who didn't do nothing.
My best mail carrier ever was a lady in her 50's. She suddenly retired, & it was Amazon packages that did it. They were running her ragged. It should be easy to replace a 55 YO woman. That's what the Post Office thought. They replaced her with a 20 something man. He was chronically late on the route & disappeared after a few months. We had several more 20 somethings on the route before I left & none of them ever showed up at the same time of day. The thing is, the 55 YO lady was super efficient, & her arriving at the same time every day on her route was proof. But they added Amazon to it & she just could not keep up. The youth that replaced her were too slow, they lacked efficiency & or hustle. If a job doesn't require muscle, anyone who cares can do it well. I think the USPS lost a lot of good people because they over promise on Amazon but don't pay the employees more for the extra effort it requires. Last mile delivery is very hard to profit from, that's why carriers transport the package & dump the last mile on the USPS who will accept any offer
Been a mail carrier for 9 years now, and I literally hate going to work. We're over worked, management doesn't care, they can't keep CCa's, everyone calls out so they give us extra work, then we call out and it's a vicious cycle. They cut routes and add them unto existing routes, Union stewards are useless Just the thought of being there for another 30 years because of the "benefits" repulses me. Luckily I decided to go back to school and I've made some connections along the way, I can't wait to leave that place
@@vahjayjayaddict The Old timers were the carriers that taught me good work ethic. That’s just one lady carrier compared to the 99.9% of women in the post office. What good is one woman doing her job vs the majority of them that use the system to get what they want? The old timers are leaving more and more and this happened right during Covid
Like what I told the owners when I was leaving; "If all the emplyees who actually work hard quit, that leaves you with the worst workers. Then what? You lose money and go bankrupt." They gave me a promotion and pay raise and fired two of the slacker workers (and one was their own daughter).
@Ytorisv They listened because they were the purse-holding owners. But most places I worked that had some staff problem (causing high turnover and lower productivity), they rarely would address the problem. The nonprofit was the worst. So they just lost money.
Something that was left out of the "Company Man" tangent was that IF you do decide to go that route, the second that you do things out of your paygrade, you are held to a pedestal, and when you fall from it, and notice you are being taken advantage of, they will shun you and get rid of you. I dunno what to call it, but i picture an excalator, everyone goes at the same pace but its faster for the people above you. If you try to go faster because they rely on you more, suddenly you are seen as something to rely on without extra benefit for you. Once you slip up or slow down, you lose the spotlight forever.
Same. This story exactly. I left after 10 years and am now helping my widowed mother. She wiped my butt for years and i am honored to be able to return the favor 🙏
I wound up quitting my last job with nothing lined up, because the mental destruction and repeated promotion denials was enough to crush your soul. It was the BEST career decision I ever made. I won't go into much detail, but when you are mentally drained working a mediocre job doing remedial work that was beneath your level of knowledge and competence, it's time for a change. Sometimes you are so drained, you just need a clean slate. That's what I did and was able to focus once again and get a job at an amazing SMALL company with a $40k a year raise.
This guy is spot on! I worked 20 years in construction industry and it was jus like this. I've also worked in the hospitality sector for over 10 years, it's exactly like this. So...I quit working in labor intensive jobs and now work in places where it's an 8 and skate, and when the bullshit starts, when the gaslighting starts, I bounce. I have zero loyalty anymore, because its obvious they don't give af about me 🤷♂️
I’m 42 years old. I have been “sitting on the fence” now for sometime now making my boss in a “ family orientated business” very well off. Enough is enough. I will never be a part of that “family”. In the next week I will be quitting and going out on my own.
My boss and his "family owned business" is a millionaire he talks about it constantly yet he runs a sweat shop and acts like a slave driver. Nothing is ever good enough or fast enough for him and you have to listen to him cuss at you or insult you. Unfortunately for him i have been in this business for over a decade for many other shops so i know all the stuff he says and his expectations are bs, many of his employees do not. They take everything he said as the word. Nah he just abuses people to see who can endure and put up with that abuse.
Every time I worked for a family owned business, I left with the knowledge that I was most definitely NOT a member of their family. I switched to consulting and adjunct faculty jobs, suddenly I had money and the loss of stress. I only had to put up with fools until the end of my contract. I would go on four vacations per year because I scheduled around my contracts. My buddies would razz me for being on vacation often, I reminded them that they had "Real jobs". I am glad I did it. Now, I am old and sick; I traveled and am ready to stay home.

I remember getting a job doing floor resurfacing and waxing. My employer was a family that had just started so things weren't going to great financially at the beginning, after sometime of financial trouble they started to get into good money through contracts with Safeway, ect. Well after paying me $10 an hour for 2 years and promising huge bonuses and extra benefits nothing happened, instead they bought a brand new $65,000 truck and then a $15k trailer they didn't need "for business expenses and driving to the other stores" then later his son got a new truck, then they got a new home, all while their equipment was slowly dying because their upkeep was non-existent outside of having his employees to take care of all problems. They paid me less than 2k a month while they pocketed the 4.5k a month the store was paying them PER STORE... while doing nothing, not even showing up to the store but maybe once a month to give me proper things to clean the damn floors with like cleaning solutions and pads so it was a struggle to even clean the place with garbage equipment. The contract itself only covered 10 stores in the district and they collected nearly 4.5k a month from each, paid employees $10 an hour so he would take more than half the income from the store away from the employee. I was baited on for two years until I seen their new truck pull up to give me my paycheck, I then just started not to care, put the floor scrubber and buffer into my truck then kicked them both out onto the roadside a mile down. That amount of greed is insane to me and that's the typical employer people deal with daily, baiting you on with promises while they take as much as possible. I could do his job better than him but you have to be in a "lotto" with these companies who then chose to clean their stores, so not even possible to take this contract away from them without massive ties. I could make an absolute fortune just by having those same stores but only taking $500 a month from each while paying my employees almost double, I could afford the equipment, the employees, upkeep, everything with that money. They pocketed it all.
Wife is having this issue. Knows one of the dude RNs sneaks out constantly to get on his phone while she does everything. He makes more and has less experience.
Can confirm. Before i went back to working at home full time, the office was all only women: LOTS of personal conversations, little to no discussion about actual work, regular ‘coffee & cake’ days, plenty of drama & gossiping.
I achieved top bonuses in first 9 months, 3 raises .i helped coworkers and teained them. They received top bonus after 3 years. When i asked for higher bonus manager told me im at top and no way up. I cut my overtime to zero, i asked to move to other dpt , they hired 3 guys to replace me, i trained them all for 6 months, moved to other dpt and after 1 year same story. Developed back pain and arthritis, went on disability, got fired, sued them, won 6 months package. After that pain went away, it was all stress related. Dont quit, go for disability, sue them , make them bleed.
*The more you go "above and beyond" in a certain position, the more management will keep you in that position. Think about it. Who are they going to get to do that job as good and as hard as you do it? If you're the glue that keeps it all together, why would they promote you to another job? Who's going to be the glue then? The only way to get that promotion is apply for it at ANOTHER company.*

I retired after 34 years at my last job. No retirement party. No card. Not even an email or a phone call. It was like I was never there.
That happened to a lot of people during the pandemic.
The same happened to me. 35 years at a Fortune 500. No party, no watch, no goodbyes, just sign out for the last time at the guardhouse. The only closure I got was that my boss had completely forgotten how to do his job (much less my job), and made a disaster of the place. Not only did he get fired 6 months after I left, they closed the whole place and 50 people lost their jobs. They had no idea how much work I was doing, or how I was doing it. Until it stopped getting done.
Never marry your company. It is only a stepping stone to your next opportunity. This isn't new, I realized that over 40 years ago after 2 years out of college.
I've worked for over 5 years at 3 different companies and every single one of them has ignored me since I left.
I contrast that with my father who still catches up with people who he worked with for a few years over 20 years ago.
@comicus6769 Good advise, and common sense now. 40 years ago the workplace was different. At a Fortune 500 (FedEx in my case), you had a virtual family at work. They trained you in detail. Mentored you. Big companies gave superior benefits, and a way up the ladder for the little guy. You had hope, and a future, so you gave them your best. No longer true at present.

I worked at factory with the worst a-hole boss. Wrote me up for being 2 minutes late. There was a work area, maybe 15 x 30 feet that was the machine work area. They didnt give you a reason to leave except for your scheduled break. I stepped 8 FOOT out the 'work square to read a bulletin. I see the boss walk right my way I thought " really? he's really got an issue with me slightly stepping outside the work zone for 15 seconds". Sure enough " what were you doing over there?" I knew right then and there I need to put together a real quick exit plan

Know your opportunity cost and practice it. If you act like a welcome mat, they will treat you as a welcome mat and walk all over you. If they want above average effort, they need to incentivize above average effort.
One typical path is “changed jobs every 18 months until he achieved good income and was seen as an asset, then secretly started a side business. Quit job when side business could pay the bills.”
Another typical path is “got job, went to work, kept doing job while hoping someone did something for him, eventually laid off.”
The choice of paths is yours. Just don’t whine about the consequences of following either path.

I live in Houston Texas. I was working at Memorial Herman Hospital in the diagnostics lab. I have a bachelors degree in biology. The pay I was given was 15 an hour part time. We were responsible for diagnosing leukemia and blood cancer patients. I worked directly under the doctor of pathology. He would come to me directly after I prepared blood and bone marrow samples so he could start his analysis. Needless to say I quit after 3 months. I went to other labs and none would pay over 15 an hour.
I make more money today working for myself as a pet sitter and mobile dog groomer than I did working at a hospital as a lab tech responsible for diagnosing leukemia patients. The work force is beyond screwed up
15 an hour??? Wow
It’s insane. I charge $30 dollars just to visit someone’s house and let their dogs out in the backyard to do their business. I make 30 bucks in less than 10 minutes and I work within a 10 mile radius. Most of my customers are 15 minutes away at the most.

This is what happened when Rome fell. Romans citizens would not work jobs that were not prestigous and would not fight in the military. Rome used mass imigration to try to stay afloat for a long time but, eventually all the imports did the same thing. Immoral and Ungodly societies crumble quickly, just like the west is crumbling now.
Look at Afghanistan, the government had vastly superior military equipment to the Talibahnis, had a larger and better trained army. Afghans government and army fell and surrendered in minutes, because they did not believe in the lack of morals the western government pushed on them. In other words, they were not willing to give their lives for the perceived freedoms the us had given them.

-Getting the same pay regardless of your contribution. It was a union shop.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
I feel Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and.exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or a licensed expert in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields
Tracy Britt Cool Consulting was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Tracy.
I work in a union job where I get paid the same as everyone around me. Last November I sold my 5.0 mustang and started paying off all my debt. I’m about $9000 away from paying off my home equity line of credit and all that will be left is my wife’s car payment and mortgage. I started a side hustle building raised garden beds and firewood sheds. We are slowly planning our escape making sure our debt is gone first!
I saw my boss with a nice new expensive truck. He saw me looking at it and said if I show up for work early each day, skip breaks, work overtime, and work my hardest, he’ll be able to buy himself a second truck.

Know a guy that retired from a factory in Cincinnati after 52 years. It was the only job the man ever had. He started when he was 16 years old. He asked his friends and family to meet him by his car when he walked out for the last time. I honestly expected maybe the owner would walk out with him maybe some higher ups etc. Nope he walked out alone with not even as much as a card. The owner of that place sent a message to everyone there that anything they do will never be valued. I hope the people he worked with took notice.

26 years in IT in the Midwest. People always thought, “Hey you’re in IT, you’ve got it easy. You make tons of money, you work 9-5, it’s so easy.” Nothing is farther from the truth. Years of 12-14 hour days, years of on call, missed vacations, missed family gatherings, worn out and tire at the age of 45. I have worked in IT for corporate entities, government, MSPs, manufacturing you name it and nothing ever changed. I left IT to go to a very small company run by a vet doing security. I’m done with large companies, small companies still care about their employees, they actually want you to succeed. Been there, and that’s the truth.
I've been in IT for about 20 years now. I just turned 40 and im exhausted. there is never enough help, constant demands, and you are expected to perform miracles with nothing most of the time. Thinking of leaving myself and doing something else. I'm spent.
Funny, I work in IT too. And today, I got two emails from two different ass-kissing middle managers, with about 10-12 other people copied in on it - all to ask me about a failure of a program to run a spreadsheet and import it into Oracle.
“Why was there no notification?” they ask.
“How did it fail?” they ask.
I really wanted to tell them the hard truth about “Agile” that they don’t know - it was the push to get the program into prod, and worry about “the little details” later. All of which nobody cares about once it was deployed 2 months ago.
Now TODAY, they are all concerned with details…. 😂😂
Hooray for Agile & Scrum Masters. Not.
Your boss wants you to succeed because he's a good persona dn a good business owner. The size of the company has nothing to do with it. I've worked for mom and pop shops that have been total dog shit

This happened in Romania between 2000and 2010. Companies had a saying " if you don't like it here just leave, there are 20 outside the gates waiting for a job ". And now are bringing people from India and Bangladesh to replace the work force, because between 2010 and 2020 most working age people went to other countries.

I am a former Engineering middle manager. Saved my duckets and have a nice pension besides. Shortly before I left, I was told to cut salaries, up to 40%. This was while they were pushing DEI (translated, "flavor of the month"). The stress put me in the ICU, and I left. It didn't used to be this way. Little or no upward mobility. Hire based upon who knows who, and put out crappy product. Ask Boeing. They're killing their customers, slowly but surely.

Agreed. Get an older car with normal r134a AC, fogger injection, and almost no computer "modules" outside of the ECM. Ideally a manual transmission if you have a highway commute - they get great gas mileage.

I'm 53 working a since I'm 13 years old now my wife has cancer most of my family is gone. I'm at a total loss trying to injoy my days as I get older. This country has failed me. I didn't fail my country
Your story mirrors mine. I'm 55 and have worked since I was 15, and have little to show for it. I got laid off during Covid and drained my 401k. I've been working in a dead end job for 20 years (my company brought me back after 6 months), because my immediate supervisor always was jealous and resentful of me and went out of his way to make sure I never advanced. Now my wife, who makes twice as much as I do, has spent the last 2 months in the hospital dealing with cancer. We have a 12 year old son too. I'm at the end of my rope. If my wife goes, I'll loose the house, have to file for bankruptcy, and be forced to be a single parent. I don't know what to do.

I saw a youtube video of a guy who was fired for being 15 late due to being stuck in traffic because of a car accident. The insane part was that this was his first time ever being late and he texted his boss with the photos of him being stuck in traffic a whole hour before he was even suppose to be at work.

I worked as an male RN for 28 years. I retired early at 62 because the last 6 or 7 years all these new RNs didn't want to work, just come to work to socialize while the good workers were forced to pick up their slack and help rather than holding them accountable. I was one of the good ones, never late, never missed a day but when it came to getting raises every year I would get $.50 while these new ones were getting 3 to 5% increases. So I asked every year why I'm not getting the same or better. Finally the last year before I retired I got an answer and was told. The longer you work here the less of a raise you get regardless of your work ethic. So hard work and loyalty means nothing to these people. There's more but I won't get in to that but this guy is right. Find something on the side and get out.

I worked at a grocery store for 13 years. I was sick and tired of working there. Just walking in the door gave me anxiety. While i was working there, i started my own contracting business. I worked both jobs for a few years until my business could sustain itself, and then i quit. Its now 15 years later and my business is going strong. It was the best move I've ever made! I love what i do, I'm free, and i make very good money.
What kind of contracting, if I may ask?
I just retired from a grocery chain after 33 years. When l started it was a good gig! As time went on it got worse and worse. For all the reasons everyone is commenting about. Anyway, on July 12th the district director comes in at 7am with a one day notice and announces they're closing our store. I was turning 62 on the 20th. I gave my notice a few weeks later.

They gave my job to two immigrants many times, The Canadian Government and voters will never be forgiven. If the only ones having kids are stupid for the last 40 years, then will they raise smart people? Who's left living now?,
Look up Canada's 1995 employment equity act and ask yourself what is the one demographic in Canada against which it is legal to discriminate.
If it's not obvious by now immigrants will replace the population in the upcoming years, sure the country will run but it's not going to be the same anymore.
Canada is a lost cause and America is almost at that point too.

I walked away from it all years ago. Managed to buy my house, rent it out, lived like a bum for a year until I could raise a mortgage on a second house, rented that out, bought a small cottage in the middle of nowhere, now I don't work at all and make enough to chill and enjoy life at 42. The grift just isn't worth giving up your life for.
Wise man you are ❤
BS
Even with a high flying job and living like a bum for year you ain't gonna save up enough for a second property and definitely not a third one. So unless you got family money or are doing not so legal activities how are u making that level of cash when you walked as away as you put it

These two things plus kids are a death wish to men in today’s society.
No. Buy a house, but rent out rooms for additional income. Trust me, you do not want to be at the mercy of a landlord, especially once you get into your senior years. Don't get married. I agree with you on that one. Find an easy job that you like that has a full benefits package. Learn as many specialized skills, trades, and professions as you can, and start legitimate businesses, so you can eventually quit your job if you so choose.

Lol sounds like the casinos. Almost every woman I knew that had a high paying job at a casino got it from sleeping with the right people. I quit a job at a bank years ago. I was a computer operator, operating the computer processing, disaster recovery library, printing media, troubleshooting, and program testing for a billion dollar bank. Two of us worked every shift. The guy I worked with transferred to a different department and I wound up running the whole thing by myself for almost six months, no extra money, still getting everything done. They brought in another guy, who partied with the right people at the bank, and told me that I needed to train him and that he was going to be my manager. I got a job at a casino, didn't teach him anything, and put in my notice. They had to call me for months afterwards and ask me to come in to do stuff for them and pay me out the ass, to get stuff done. Sure would have been better for them if they had just treated me right.
The sad thing is, they probably calculated it was cheaper to hire you as a contractor for the short term than give a permanent pay raise over the long term.

Former mail carrier for 2-3 years. Fuck the post office. The 204Bs were absolutely useless. Not enough carriers, and too many complaints from people who didn't do nothing.
DEI
My best mail carrier ever was a lady in her 50's. She suddenly retired, & it was Amazon packages that did it. They were running her ragged. It should be easy to replace a 55 YO woman. That's what the Post Office thought. They replaced her with a 20 something man. He was chronically late on the route & disappeared after a few months. We had several more 20 somethings on the route before I left & none of them ever showed up at the same time of day. The thing is, the 55 YO lady was super efficient, & her arriving at the same time every day on her route was proof. But they added Amazon to it & she just could not keep up. The youth that replaced her were too slow, they lacked efficiency & or hustle. If a job doesn't require muscle, anyone who cares can do it well. I think the USPS lost a lot of good people because they over promise on Amazon but don't pay the employees more for the extra effort it requires. Last mile delivery is very hard to profit from, that's why carriers transport the package & dump the last mile on the USPS who will accept any offer
Been a mail carrier for 9 years now, and I literally hate going to work. We're over worked, management doesn't care, they can't keep CCa's, everyone calls out so they give us extra work, then we call out and it's a vicious cycle. They cut routes and add them unto existing routes, Union stewards are useless Just the thought of being there for another 30 years because of the "benefits" repulses me. Luckily I decided to go back to school and I've made some connections along the way, I can't wait to leave that place
@@vahjayjayaddict The Old timers were the carriers that taught me good work ethic. That’s just one lady carrier compared to the 99.9% of women in the post office.

Like what I told the owners when I was leaving; "If all the emplyees who actually work hard quit, that leaves you with the worst workers. Then what? You lose money and go bankrupt." They gave me a promotion and pay raise and fired two of the slacker workers (and one was their own daughter).

@@LeonardNemoy They were very money-oriented, owning a franchise.
That sounds like common sense to me.
@Ytorisv They listened because they were the purse-holding owners. But most places I worked that had some staff problem (causing high turnover and lower productivity), they rarely would address the problem. The nonprofit was the worst. So they just lost money.
Something that was left out of the "Company Man" tangent was that IF you do decide to go that route, the second that you do things out of your paygrade, you are held to a pedestal, and when you fall from it, and notice you are being taken advantage of, they will shun you and get rid of you.
I dunno what to call it, but i picture an excalator, everyone goes at the same pace but its faster for the people above you. If you try to go faster because they rely on you more, suddenly you are seen as something to rely on without extra benefit for you. Once you slip up or slow down, you lose the spotlight forever.

I’m 42 years old. I have been “sitting on the fence” now for sometime now making my boss in a “ family orientated business” very well off. Enough is enough. I will never be a part of that “family”. In the next week I will be quitting and going out on my own.
My boss and his "family owned business" is a millionaire he talks about it constantly yet he runs a sweat shop and acts like a slave driver. Nothing is ever good enough or fast enough for him and you have to listen to him cuss at you or insult you. Unfortunately for him i have been in this business for over a decade for many other shops so i know all the stuff he says and his expectations are bs, many of his employees do not. They take everything he said as the word. Nah he just abuses people to see who can endure and put up with that abuse.
Every time I worked for a family owned business, I left with the knowledge that I was most definitely NOT a member of their family. I switched to consulting and adjunct faculty jobs, suddenly I had money and the loss of stress. I only had to put up with fools until the end of my contract. I would go on four vacations per year because I scheduled around my contracts. My buddies would razz me for being on vacation often, I reminded them that they had "Real jobs". I am glad I did it. Now, I am old and sick; I traveled and am ready to stay home.

I remember getting a job doing floor resurfacing and waxing. My employer was a family that had just started so things weren't going to great financially at the beginning, after sometime of financial trouble they started to get into good money through contracts with Safeway, ect. Well after paying me $10 an hour for 2 years and promising huge bonuses and extra benefits nothing happened, instead they bought a brand new $65,000 truck and then a $15k trailer they didn't need "for business expenses and driving to the other stores" then later his son got a new truck, then they got a new home, all while their equipment was slowly dying because their upkeep was non-existent outside of having his employees to take care of all problems. They paid me less than 2k a month while they pocketed the 4.5k a month the store was paying them PER STORE... while doing nothing, not even showing up to the store but maybe once a month to give me proper things to clean the damn floors with like cleaning solutions and pads so it was a struggle to even clean the place with garbage equipment. The contract itself only covered 10 stores in the district and they collected nearly 4.5k a month from each, paid employees $10 an hour so he would take more than half the income from the store away from the employee. I was baited on for two years until I seen their new truck pull up to give me my paycheck, I then just started not to care, put the floor scrubber and buffer into my truck then kicked them both out onto the roadside a mile down.
That amount of greed is insane to me and that's the typical employer people deal with daily, baiting you on with promises while they take as much as possible. I could do his job better than him but you have to be in a "lotto" with these companies who then chose to clean their stores, so not even possible to take this contract away from them without massive ties. I could make an absolute fortune just by having those same stores but only taking $500 a month from each while paying my employees almost double, I could afford the equipment, the employees, upkeep, everything with that money. They pocketed it all.
Hope it works out for you.
Hard work is rewarded with more work. It happens with men in Nursing too.
Wife is having this issue. Knows one of the dude RNs sneaks out constantly to get on his phone while she does everything. He makes more and has less experience.
Yo Bro ... Thank you for this motivation!! Please keep these type of videos coming ... i appreciate you 💪
7:08 - That's women in charge, eventually no one does any work. All the useful people leave and they just sit around talking.
Can confirm. Before i went back to working at home full time, the office was all only women: LOTS of personal conversations, little to no discussion about actual work, regular ‘coffee & cake’ days, plenty of drama & gossiping.
The current value of the US Dollar is $0.03c, it has lost 97% of it buying value since it's creation.
Working hard only gets you more work and higher expectations of you.
Yep just happened to me
Sounds exactly like my work, been there 15 and I’m seeing exactly what this man is talking about.
I achieved top bonuses in first 9 months, 3 raises .i helped coworkers and teained them. They received top bonus after 3 years. When i asked for higher bonus manager told me im at top and no way up. I cut my overtime to zero, i asked to move to other dpt , they hired 3 guys to replace me, i trained them all for 6 months, moved to other dpt and after 1 year same story. Developed back pain and arthritis, went on disability, got fired, sued them, won 6 months package. After that pain went away, it was all stress related. Dont quit, go for disability, sue them , make them bleed.
*The more you go "above and beyond" in a certain position, the more management will keep you in that position. Think about it. Who are they going to get to do that job as good and as hard as you do it? If you're the glue that keeps it all together, why would they promote you to another job? Who's going to be the glue then? The only way to get that promotion is apply for it at ANOTHER company.*
