Working 8 hours is a lot mostly when we do that for the rest of our lives. Weekend is not enough it's literally one day, Sunday is basically getting ready for an other work week and no rest at all. There is no time for adults. Weekend should be 3 days but corporations greed will do anything than evolve and fix and change work culture. Society treat adults horrible all that for greed.
There's not enough living wage jobs for everyone. The best alternative would be to work them less, 3-4 day work week since the pay is lesser so they can work on their side hustles or travel or work more jobs.

Automation. South Korea has its own version of Industry 4.0, which was launched during the former administration of lady president Park Geun-hye. Liberal ones wanted it as comprehensive as in the case of China’s similar initiative by attempting to build parallel products to reduce its dependence on foreign products. Remember that during the time of former president Moon Jae-in’s administration when Japan suspended imports of certain technologies and materials to South Korea over renewed diplomatic spats on historical issues and territorial overlaps (Dokdo/Takeshima), this triggered their industry to do more

I fell into this trap of staying at home and resting. you just get more and more tired. the only way to get out of it is to use your energy. 2 runs per day, bicep curls and sit ups. you end up having more energy and sleeping well. sounds like it wouldn't work but it does. the hardest thing is just starting. you can do it guys.
I highly doubt that they're resting because theyre physically tired. more like theyre exhausted mentally, whats the point in working or studying if you cant start a family or purchase a home? when your deprived of these things that make you a man you see no point in going on
It's not worth. What are you working for? What do you get for your hard work? Less and less as time goes on. People are burnt out from over working People are being used and abused by corporations and managers.
What’s wrong with giving the bare minimum? Why give and sacrifice so much to a workplace or a boss when they only see us as slaves and can replace us anytime with no mercy. It is not wrong prioritise rest and put our healths first.

The poor young ones have been slogging their guts out trying to do well academically for the majority of their lives, they need some rest. The reality is that life is not fair & working longer hours doesn't guarantee success, for many it can look like an unattainable dream. So why bend over backwards when the rewards, if any, simply aren't satisfying.
It's okay when you live in a toxic country. Focus on mental health is a priority. Who wants to be overworked till death. Wishing you be happy and healthy

This school system came to being in 19 th century.. Before that people did work and rest. But the school systems are so much pressuring exhausting, mentally straining. Let these young people have the rest of their life. And I'm sure they will do go to work the society wants them to
A grueling 75-hour workweek, relentless bullying, and the exhaustion that comes with incessant studying-while these challenges are undeniably taxing, they pale in comparison to the pressing issue of soaring inflation. This relentless economic pressure chips away at our earnings, leaving us with less and less, despite our unwavering efforts to keep up. It is not merely the weight of our daily struggles that burdens us, but the profound erosion of the value of our hard work and resources that truly underscores the gravity of the situation.
In many countries, our parents or grandparents could more easily get work at 15 or 16 just by pitching up to the local factory or similar. That's why they had many children. Korea should focus on making sure that decent working-class jobs are available that one can support a family on. Limit factories and warehouses to be employ no more than 50% foreign-guest-worker labour. Reduce the amount of visas available for manual labour.
yeah i think this will happen all over the world... the youth will not do more than they are getting paid for, maybe just work bare minimum enough to meet basic needs, most would not get married or have children
They need labor laws in S.Korea. instead of working people to death...start a second shift for the evenings. If people only work an 8 hour day they'd have time to marry and have children and that would end their population decrease at the same time give families time to be together.

Why would anyone would want to work more and rest less?! Seriously. We should all aim to work smarter and not harder. We only work more because we get hourly and we don’t control our own time. If we didn’t get paid hourly and are in control of our work and time, wouldn’t we be creative to find a way to make our jobs and life easier and have more time to do other things in life, like maybe starting our own business, spending more time with our loved ones, taking care of our family, taking more care of ourselves like RESTING!!! If you are working and ended up doing more work, you’re doing something wrong. And how long we work shouldn’t even be compared to the quality of out work. It doesn’t mean that if Jimmy worked 50 hours a week and Anna worked 35 hours a week, it doesn’t mean Jimmy’s work is better and of a quality. Is Jimmy working harder and not smarter? If Jimmy found a way to work smarter and less and he didn’t get paid by the hour, wouldn’t he find ways to make his job and life a little bit easier and find ways to work less?! What kind of a stupid title and stupid question this is?! So stupid!
That wont work either, because then everyone demands a pay increase thus nullifying the first pay. And you cant pay absurd levels either since then happens what happened at VW.
Many students are facing overwhelming stress from the heavy load of schoolwork, and it’s understandable that they’re feeling burnt out. When parents add extra assignments on top of everything, it can lead to exhaustion and leave little room for relaxation or socializing with friends, which are so important during these formative years. The pressure to excel and be at the top can feel suffocating, especially when it seems like that’s all that matters. It’s important to remember that life is too precious to be consumed by academic stress alone. Many young people long to explore their own dreams and aspirations, but some parents may unintentionally impose their own desires, making it difficult for their kids to envision their own careers and passions. It’s vital for both students and parents to find a balance that fosters growth, happiness, and personal fulfillment.

Then you’ll be passed over for promotions, paid much less, etc. Your odds of getting married will be way lower. Your kids will get bullied because they’re not from a wealthy family. It’s just a nightmare. It’s the kind of thing that happens worldwide but on a much harsher scale than in most other locations.
korea isn't china or india in korea their is shortage of workers and hight wage
@@adamsaciid4919there’s high wages because there’s a high cost of living but the wages aren’t enough most most people to live comfortably just like is the case in other first-world countries.
@@adamsaciid4919 korea cost of living is high and long working hours. high wages dont mean shit.
We need 3 days weekend!! Tired of corporate greed they want us to work to death no time for anything else and they wonder why birth rate is dropping. We are overworking and underpaid, they want us to have kids just so they can secure future workers. Tired of corporations greed. Millionaires and billionaires never satisfied they will do anything than changing toxic outdated work system because they are out of touch of reality and lack empathy. We are following outdated systems worlwide instead of evolving.
Yes #lyingflat #tangping
Perhaps this will send a message to employers in SK to stop expecting their employees to work such long hours. Employers need to realize a work/life balance is necessary both physically and mentally.
this is only alarming to the Chaebol's. Where are they getting their cheap labor now? Let them rest and comeback when they are ready
Automation.
South Korea has its own version of Industry 4.0, which was launched during the former administration of lady president Park Geun-hye.
Liberal ones wanted it as comprehensive as in the case of China’s similar initiative by attempting to build parallel products to reduce its dependence on foreign products.
Remember that during the time of former president Moon Jae-in’s administration when Japan suspended imports of certain technologies and materials to South Korea over renewed diplomatic spats on historical issues and territorial overlaps (Dokdo/Takeshima), this triggered their industry to do more
Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Bangladesh... , those are places where cheap labor comes from. i tell you those poor workers are willing to break their ribs just to work in Korea!
@@thisiskevin1000 in simplest answer yes
In more elaborate version no
Yes automatisation is both cheap and efficient after it operate the process before that is practically stop all production implementation so first find a place then designed the plant after that Choices the machine and put to assignment and change the input product since it requires to fit the machine specification fine tuning the machine then start operating,
Mean while manual labour give them space conveyor belt hammer and screwdriver they give u the product see the biggest differences is human is easily adjustable given similar task they'll do it almost right away that why on medium scale production human is still unreplacable
And don't believe all those Ai crap they barely driving straight it's still 0,001 beta still long before they actually can self learning as fast as manual worker
You cant solve workers plight for better compensation and treatment with automation.. thats a recipe for anarchy
I don't understand. What in the world are we working for. We aren't making any breakthrough in sciences, climate change or humanities. We work 12 hours on a regular. No peace. No family. Hefty EMI's. If we perform at an optimum, we get appreciation and peanuts as paycheck. So what's the point. In the end Life is meaningless for all. The hardoworkers and lazy asses, we all end up in coffin.
Isn't this the same thing that's happening in China amongst graduates who don't want to do low-paid or uninspiring jobs?
Actually? I’m not surprised honestly
yep this is a worldwide issue
Same thing that's happening in all developed nations. Company's cut back on hiring those without experience.
Imagine, uve been worked to death since childhood, with promise if ure not lazy and study hard u will be rich and can buy and own anything and be on the top of the world, only to come out and realized everything their parents said are just lies. Day in day out doing the same shit for one decade (discipline). Not even rich yet. My da been his whole life work to death and running business. Cant even afford to buy a great motorbike and great car and great house. Lmfao. Still stay with his parents. Use shit motorbike and shit car in a shit house with his shit friends.
We all want to rest anyway
Boomerism. Work work work
In reality Boomers worked less hours with less information overload.
Money don't matter when you are overworked and unhappy. ❤❤❤
Who would want to work at some corporate hell hole during the best years of their life? People should be free to explore the world not rot at a job. It’s slavery.
awful workplace environment
Mahapukers treat us like ultra shit and expect us to respect them in each and every possible way while even doing the tasks perfectly
And so he asked society, "what would I do with all that wealth, assuming I can even be rich at all?"
Society answered, "well then you can finally sit back and relax, enjoy life".
He laughed and replied, "that's what I'm doing now."
I agree at 37 I been doing this for about 3 years. Work is not for me at all i refuse to give a job 30 years and still be broke or without nope I rather enjoy life and live in my budget be free God will provide.
When you spent your whole life getting that degree and then the job turns out to just pay you minimum wage for who knows how long if you ever get promoted? The wages are just too low to motivate people to work.
I wanna rest..
but you got bills and taxes to pay
33 and i suppose i'm "lying flat". Master's degree, 8 years managerial experience, resigned in May. Not sure how long i'll live like this, but for now I'm earning enough from stocks each month to cover living expenses. I haven't felt this mentally free since childhood.
Masters degree and 8 years of managerial experience! That's a big achievement
You are great person, im also quitting from the shii....I'm doing research on how to survive in forests....from away from this shitti civilization
@@popimelanoo6103 my wife is from Nepal. She has lived in forest growing her own food and hunting for 2+ years. Many people in Nepal live like this you can go there and give it a try.
@@hatebreeder999 when you don't know what real achievement is...
People are waking up that we don’t need to devote every waking hour of our lives to slaving at jobs so we can afford stupid toys we don’t need. Reject consumerism. Embrace minimalism. Enjoy your freedom!!
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 from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate and stocks.
I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards early retirement and financial freedom, but since covid outbreak, the economy so far has caused my portfolio to underperform, do I keep contributing to my 401k or look at alternative sectors to meet my goals?
@@rougeur I've always delegated my investment decisions to an advisor, since suffering major portfolio loss early 2020, amid covid outbreak. I'm now semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week, with barely 25% short of my $1m retirement goal after subsequent investments to date.
I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

I am resting too
me too
Same
My happiness moment was the 1.5 month break I had between going to my new job. I don't see the future.
I fell into this trap of staying at home and resting. you just get more and more tired. the only way to get out of it is to use your energy. 2 runs per day, bicep curls and sit ups. you end up having more energy and sleeping well. sounds like it wouldn't work but it does. the hardest thing is just starting. you can do it guys.
I highly doubt that they're resting because theyre physically tired. more like theyre exhausted mentally, whats the point in working or studying if you cant start a family or purchase a home? when your deprived of these things that make you a man you see no point in going on
@zetifk it helped me with those feelings as well. good points.
@@zetifksame I’ve just fully accepted that I’ll never be able to buy my own house in this lifetime.
Its mental burnout rather than physical tiredness...
there's a sweet spot you work just enough to live and not too much that you don't have time for anything else.
First time something interesting and inspiring come from South Korea
We will definitely adopt such beautiful techniques👌
It's not worth. What are you working for? What do you get for your hard work? Less and less as time goes on.
People are burnt out from over working
People are being used and abused by corporations and managers.
What’s wrong with giving the bare minimum? Why give and sacrifice so much to a workplace or a boss when they only see us as slaves and can replace us anytime with no mercy. It is not wrong prioritise rest and put our healths first.
躺平 is the new trend.
That's basically Japanese hikkikomori
Working 80 hours and own nothing.......no house....just credit card bill 😂
Career is unending wo assurance of having enough financially. So why would you bother? If you can earn for your food and wants and you can stay w parents and its ok for them, why would you even bother to stress yourself being in labour?
The poor young ones have been slogging their guts out trying to do well academically for the majority of their lives, they need some rest.
The reality is that life is not fair & working longer hours doesn't guarantee success, for many it can look like an unattainable dream.
So why bend over backwards when the rewards, if any, simply aren't satisfying.
Full time employment below a certain paygrade is a pure racket. Old people who got the good money when they were younger need to be quiet.
It's okay when you live in a toxic country. Focus on mental health is a priority. Who wants to be overworked till death. Wishing you be happy and healthy
no points you rest when u get old..when u get old money is useless ...having fun very young is the best
Once they discovered the joy of content creation doing art and streaming, normal job becomes so unappealing
Pay them more and they will work.
No they don't..they need to reduce work time to 6 hours.
I root for those young people as European conservative politicians always point to east asian countries for their work ethic, while ignoring the constant living hell the workforce has to endure there.
Sleep is important. Making money is not the most important thing in the world. Life is too short to waste it on trivial pursuits.
Actually thats the end result , when society looses it balance !
We all want balance ultimately
Too much work , completion , consumerism , exploitation are all bad
They just choose to adopt cat's way of life: sleep more 🐈
I don’t blame them! Wages are trash! 🗑️
Life is a scam.
And highly avoidable too,,life is just a torture,,
I like to eat carrots
I stopped working. Didn't seem like it was worth it...10 hours work, 2 commute, 8 hours sleep, 2+ hours study...
This school system came to being in 19 th century.. Before that people did work and rest. But the school systems are so much pressuring exhausting, mentally straining. Let these young people have the rest of their life. And I'm sure they will do go to work the society wants them to
"Making peace with despair" resonates with me
A grueling 75-hour workweek, relentless bullying, and the exhaustion that comes with incessant studying-while these challenges are undeniably taxing, they pale in comparison to the pressing issue of soaring inflation. This relentless economic pressure chips away at our earnings, leaving us with less and less, despite our unwavering efforts to keep up. It is not merely the weight of our daily struggles that burdens us, but the profound erosion of the value of our hard work and resources that truly underscores the gravity of the situation.
52 hour workweek now.
Somebody who discover resting 😮
Its so difficult to buy a house ( a place not to sleep in the streets) thats people just prefer not even to try it. Its just making ends meet. , , ,
In many countries, our parents or grandparents could more easily get work at 15 or 16 just by pitching up to the local factory or similar. That's why they had many children.
Korea should focus on making sure that decent working-class jobs are available that one can support a family on. Limit factories and warehouses to be employ no more than 50% foreign-guest-worker labour. Reduce the amount of visas available for manual labour.
It's good for their mental and physical health to sometimes just do nothing. Rest. Relax.
yeah i think this will happen all over the world... the youth will not do more than they are getting paid for, maybe just work bare minimum enough to meet basic needs, most would not get married or have children
The new gens are sick of the promise of the carrot on the stick they saw their parents chase
Can't blame them. Korean youth are already burnt out by the time they graduate high school because of cram school.
They dont want to run a hamster wheel, smart
🇺🇸✌🏿
They need labor laws in S.Korea. instead of working people to death...start a second shift for the evenings. If people only work an 8 hour day they'd have time to marry and have children and that would end their population decrease at the same time give families time to be together.
Big companies mistreating employees Korean jobs are brutal
It’s funny because they equate having a degree certificate with being “highly educated”
They are getting smarter and realize they are stuck in the matrix.
Why are you calling them Labour?

They're probably making money online and you accused them resting all day.
If you believe that millions are working online jobs (=playing video games and posting on social media), you are out of your mind.

Ok fine if you don't want us working then we wont
Let the people rest as much as they want. F this stupid work system
Deny Defend Depose
Why would anyone would want to work more and rest less?! Seriously. We should all aim to work smarter and not harder. We only work more because we get hourly and we don’t control our own time. If we didn’t get paid hourly and are in control of our work and time, wouldn’t we be creative to find a way to make our jobs and life easier and have more time to do other things in life, like maybe starting our own business, spending more time with our loved ones, taking care of our family, taking more care of ourselves like RESTING!!! If you are working and ended up doing more work, you’re doing something wrong. And how long we work shouldn’t even be compared to the quality of out work. It doesn’t mean that if Jimmy worked 50 hours a week and Anna worked 35 hours a week, it doesn’t mean Jimmy’s work is better and of a quality. Is Jimmy working harder and not smarter? If Jimmy found a way to work smarter and less and he didn’t get paid by the hour, wouldn’t he find ways to make his job and life a little bit easier and find ways to work less?! What kind of a stupid title and stupid question this is?! So stupid!
Smart
Because parent push them so hard when they young they burnt out
Let people do whatever they want. It’s the meaning of life. Do whatever makes you happy. Love, work, rest, play, whatever you want to do.
Try paying them more; they will be back. You pay peanuts, of course, get peanuts.
That wont work either, because then everyone demands a pay increase thus nullifying the first pay.
And you cant pay absurd levels either since then happens what happened at VW.
You pay peanuts , you get monkeys, not peanuts?😮
Work like a donut, pay like a peanut
Korea will sort its own problems out.
There are more job-seekers with university degrees than the jobs. More aggressive depopulation will be required in the age of AI
Many students are facing overwhelming stress from the heavy load of schoolwork, and it’s understandable that they’re feeling burnt out. When parents add extra assignments on top of everything, it can lead to exhaustion and leave little room for relaxation or socializing with friends, which are so important during these formative years. The pressure to excel and be at the top can feel suffocating, especially when it seems like that’s all that matters. It’s important to remember that life is too precious to be consumed by academic stress alone. Many young people long to explore their own dreams and aspirations, but some parents may unintentionally impose their own desires, making it difficult for their kids to envision their own careers and passions. It’s vital for both students and parents to find a balance that fosters growth, happiness, and personal fulfillment.
