- My own personal take on this issue can be summed up with, these companies just want more for less. Both on an employee and customer level. They bow to their almighty dollar. It doesn’t seem worth it anymore to work at a place that doesn’t pay enough to get by in life
I’d like to add one note. I forgot to mention that I wanted to renegotiate my hours too. I asked to go part time because It would free up my time to do something more productive.
That was the wrong job for you. It sounds like you put the bare minimum in and your attitude sucks. No one wants to be a coworker with a nag like that.
Young people with a brain:
Don't have kids
Don't join the military
Stay out of debt
Leave the country
amerikan dream is to git the h out now.
Yes
No kids. Working on getting out of debt part so I can leave
The country doesn't do much of anything or care for you, you owe nobody nothing other than for yourself, simple.
yep! same. America....i have 5 cavities and a borked shoulder from work. to fix those things would be like 40 thousand dollars. lmao. its a sick joke (literally got quoted for what shoulder surgery would cost--around 30k)

I need more cat pics for my vids
@@WatchThisJC need more cat pics just in general
This guy is checked out from society, men traditionally worked to take care of his family (wife, kids) I suspect you don’t have that, or no prospect for that. Im not blaming you, it’s a problem many men face nowadays.
@@mynock250 I’m a little checked out. I’m not too thrilled to be participating in this system. I’ve had the chance to date a couple of nice ladies but passed. I’m not really in a position to take on a wife and kid. Besides, marriage doesn’t usually serve a man’s best interest.
Indeed.
So if working full-time does not pay the bills then how does not working make it better
It's been like this in most other countries forever. People in the US are experiencing it now and I don't think it's going to get any easier.
What countries? The United States is worst than many "advanced" other countries on socio-economic issues for "ordinary" people. For example, among other shortcomings, NO UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
Ive been doing 1.5-2 peoples jobs for 15 years and ive only been paid right over the last 6 years. However with this hyper inflation its not really counting for much.
It doesn't pay enough to work with to x ic people.
Also, some people are night owls and homebodies that do not keep normal hours and do not want to leave home.
I agree, the work environment can be very toxic at times
Indeed
Simply put the “getting by” is the hard part. Not only is there nothing to show for it, but yes, adding to the miscellaneous things. It’s barely attainable.
Coz it sux
I was thinking about working at a grocery store close by where I live until I ran into another unfriendly cashier.😢
It might have something to do with the fact that people do not see the point in working for something that they do not truly own or they cannot enjoy.
For instance, our ancestors worked to have a house, have some land to cultivate and have food to put on the table. You cannot own a house while you have to pay a loan for it...same for the car and for the land....and when you finally do own these things, the simple owning is taxed so high that you feel better just selling what you own because it's cheaper.
This is not new to history...for those who lived under the iron curtain, it was simply called communism or ' the equally partitioned poverty'.
The cat looks worried maybe the little critter thinks no more treats

The reason why I don't want to work anymore?
1. Females in the workplace
2. Cultures that are in place in work environments that exclude people based on age, race, sex, political views
3. Companies will let you go for no good reason other than wanting to save their bottom line
4. Company will let you go because someone higher up doesn't "like" you
5. Company will let you go if they feel you are too much of a legal risk due ageism, racism, sexism, political views
6. Considering the above mentioned items combined with poor wages that don't keep up with inflation, yeah I have been deprived of the motivation to want to work.
7. Having to deal with people making false accusations against you.
It doesn't mean I don't want to work period. I don't want to work in this environment considering the above.
@@nibiay3985 it’s hard to navigate American work culture at times
@@WatchThisJC SOMETIMES???? Try all the time!
@@SoogeiS fair, our minds are completely warped by this messed up system.
you sound like a walking red flag
Females in the workplace? What is this, 1800?🤦♂️
I don’t understand. If he doesn’t want to work, how he has a car? Who pays for his expenses?
Somebody else is working a crappy job they hate to support this lazy bum.
He may own the car out right. Like he saved and bought it with the money he saved.
dont have kids ..dont get married.dont buy anything you can't afford you won't get into financial trouble. The only people who don't live by these rules have sugar daddies and mommies so they can do those things
The world of work just sucks this decade.
Welcome to the liberal dystopia, folks. Dark days, people.
People don't want to be exploited anymore
Yeah I've been experiencing this during my job search in Canada this year after finishing a degree in Computer Programming & Analysis.
Not much that I can do, other than build up a social network on linkedin to get a referral later down the line.
I dont think anyone ever wanted to work😊
People haven’t worked “for the fruit of their labors” for hundreds of years. Why is now different?
I'd be inclined to disagree with that statement, but the issue is bigger picture. This system we're in now isn't set up for people to prosper. people are in despair because they have no vision and they see a void instead.
@@WatchThisJC I can agree with that overall conclusion, the future appears bleak. But I don't think humans have ever found meaning in their work, it has always been a means to provide for their family, which for the first time in humanity most young people don't have.
You know who never thinks about quitting their job? People with kids.
My conclusion, and it lines up more appropriately with the timeline, is that we have completely destroyed the typical "nuclear family" and our sense of purpose for life along with it. The phrase "children are the future" has many meanings.
@@What-go8ngOh Mr. Big shot boomer is it? You want to know why people are searching for fruits? Well let me tell you boomer - the reason people don't want to work today is because they saw boomers like you working for 10 years and being able to afford a 4-BHK with a yard, picket fence, dog and car, and still have time left on weekends to go with your family to Disneyland or Yellowstone. YOU, yes you, are the ones who kept telling us while we were growing up, that if we work hard, get a high school diploma, go shake the retail manager's hand at the local Costco to get a job, and work for 10 years, then we will be able to do the same things that you did. Well guess what boomer - an entire generation is now finding out that you boomers have been lying to us all this time. You have bought all the land, all the houses, used up all the resources, and now us millennials and GenZs have nothing left to take. Even if we work ten times as hard as you did, we won't get anything more than an 800 sq.ft. cardboard box in some back alley of a polluted city, and all we will have at the end of it all, is high blood pressure and endless migraines. So YOU got the fruits of your labor, with your big houses and fancy cars, but WE, the people who have to now pay your f\*king pensions even though you are millionaires, WE won't get any fruits, branches or even a LEAF for all the work we put in. THAT'S the difference. Got it boomer? Now go sip your margaritas on your beach resort while we bust our asses to keep running this junk of an ecosystem you have left us.
The “fruits of their labors” were things like community, children, family, maybe a little real property. More money and time for silly vacations isn’t going to fix the malaise.
Someone should look into the works of Durkheim again. This happened before, back in the France of the mid 19th century. Things had improved greatly for many people, but self-deletion was through the roof. We’re kind of at that point now in the US.
Nobody felt like this under Pres. TRUMP
yes we did…. remember the stores having no formula or diapers? trump. semis getting blocked from entering our country with our food? trump. covid??? trump.
As I saw in a comment the other day, the main reason why people do not want to work anymore is because the morals and values that the old generation installed into society no longer exists.
Only one value matters in the United States today, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, everything else be damned.
What kind of work are you doing ? Do you have other things you do for meaning or hobbies ?
If you had millions of dollars what would you do ? That’s question I’ve been asking myself .. as it helps me to see what I do care about. For me it’s creating art and teaching , also doing stuff in nature. Owning a house doesn’t even appeal to me really .. I do want to build long term wealth though
I work in tech and have had many other jobs before .. I’ve never found work fulfilling or seen a goal to it , I like tech as at least I learn new stuff daily vs some really mindless jobs I had like restaurants
My background is warehousing and aerospace assembly. Honestly what I’d like to do is have a small side business and make videos with friends. Thanks for watching!
You're right that your efforts should lead you to something better, but your perspective is wrong. You admit you had attendance issues and yet you still had the audacity to ask for a raise...why would they give a raise to someone who has proven to be unreliable? Your short term goal if you're at the bottom of the ladder should be to differentiate yourself from your piers, and make it known to your superiors that you want MORE responsibility. That's how opportunities to move up present themselves that pay better. If you're unwilling to do that, the only way you're going to make better money is to try going into business for yourself.
I don’t think it’s audacity that lead me to ask for a better wage, it was my tenacity. Favor fortunes the bold in many cases so you never know. Thanks for the feedback. I intend to try and work for myself if possible.
@@WatchThisJC not when you have attendance issues, your tenacity needs to be applied to that first. For real. You either take the job or you dont. This doesnt solve itself, you have to start your own business if you want to do as you please.
Your perspective is also wrong. Showing your company you want more responsibility does nothing for you except get you more work. Money is what motivates. Want more money? Show the company how giving you more money will make them more money. Show them how you can make them money. So many ways to do that but none of the ways involve your physical labor.
@@nrgrlsd9931 I said nothing about more responsibility. I said show up and work the hours they they give you. They dont owe you anything really, they dont have to keep you. You need the hustle to either get a trade that is in demand or something else that makes you in any kind of demand. What do you offer except vagueness? Why would I hire you? At this point I wouldn't, honestly. No one does it for you, even if you start a business that will be more work than you ever saw and no one patting you on the back. Know your own worth and your limitations and fix the latter if you can.
@@HeckleCat4:46 Manager spelled it out for him that he wasn't working hard enough, but those types of jobs the extra work required isn't worth the raise.
Do not wanna work for a company? Start ur own business. That simple😁
Breaking News! Nobody has wanted to work 8 hours a day let alone 30 day rotations, which I did for 7 years. But guess what, if you don’t you live on the street and starve. So my generation, X, chose survival.
That you can even be unemployed for over 6 months is evidence of a safety net that is coddling. Seriously.
Not to mention it's insidious poverty trap it brings with it
Exactly
For example, at my job, if you do the job of 3 people you get enough hours to not get by. If you do just your job, you get part-time. And then my job is constantly screwing with everybody's hours. Not receiving the amount of money. I'm supposed to get for what I worked too cheap to hand anybody p? PE that they need to provide the safety that is needed to do their job. Pretty much working everybody to death for pennies. And I still don't even make enough to pay my rent. Never mind, pay my utilities and have enough to wipe my ask. So everybody's still wondering why nobody wants to work. Is it really that hard to figure out that should not be a brain picker?
Our only hope is to stay single (sorry married folks) and to do what we have to do to get through the day.
Also bringing another soul into this world is not selfish but evil coz they'll follow suit and become wagies just like us.
Besides, cost of basic commodities are just sky rocketing with the root of all evil being overpopulation that the elites don't mind because we fuel them with our blood and sweat.
.. We are just too many of us , the worst of the species and the only way to escape this hell is death.

man you look exhausted, informative video keep it up but man dont forget for the ME time, dont forget to treat yourself and do your best to grant yourself some holiday time
@@petervonfrosta244 thanks for your kind words. Yes I have been tired but I feel better as of late.
Dude, it takes a decade or two in the PROFESSIONAL workforce before you start making the big bucks. Younger generation today has no patience and want everything NOW. They think because they have a degree that it intitles them to life on Easy Street. You still need experience. Easy Street doesn't come for most people until they are in their 40s.
😢
You mean wasting best of your youngest time , losing 10 to 20 yrs for a 9 to 5 job supporting stress and poeple every day and not have the ability to save anything why cause everything got expensive and ? So i can be on my 40's or older and have the possibility to get a higher paid job ok and what's the purpose of losing temper and meaning to life ?
@@boutouilh stop whining
@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow for all you people thinking they want it NOW. I think the younger people are asking what is their path to move up? In most corporations today you will not move up. Keep moving all the good jobs overseas, that's what's going on. The system is broken and the billionaires have a lot to answer for. If you wish to simp for the people screwing you over go right ahead but no thanks. I'm 54 by the way.
@@Marktheshark-e7f - Not simping for anyone - I'm just smart enough to realize that doing nothing and moaning about it is not a solution. A perfect world will never exist on earth - stop expecting that it should, accept reality, and make your way. You have no other choice. You can argue with what is but you will always lose. Life is not fair and it never will be. Now what are you going to do about it?
