Where did the US's obsession with "hustling" come from? Back in the 50's and 60's this concept was completely unheard of. You had one job that covered everything and you still had money left over to save/invest.
It comes from the desire of quick easy money, which jas obviously always been a desire, but now that jobs are getting worse and worse, people are happier and happier to do whatever it takes to get out of the rat race, no matter how much time and energy it takes out of them
I see people are still clinging to the outdated notion that working hard, staying late, and taking on extra tasks will get you ahead in a company. It won't, it will just motivate the company to exploit you. Anyone who has worked in a corporate environment for more that 15 minutes can tell you this.

@@mecanuktutorials6476 you're not specifying how though. I worked two jobs for a decade until I found one that paid more than working two jobs together. The money was definitely needed. I wouldn't say I overworked myself at any job I was doing. A couple of those jobs I probably stayed at for two long, but I will say one thing. I never had a primary job where going the extra mile didn't help, and it probably helped me get to the job I had now. It has never steered or anyone I advised wrong. It led to a higher raise when it was time for a review and the option to move to different or higher positions which led to me being able to upgrade my resume and sell myself better in interviews.

I know people with this attitude. It drives them NUTS that their employees (whom they pay minimum wage) aren't reliable and quit without notice.

I was laid off three weeks later because the company heard a portion of their employees were starting a union, so they laid off everyone in that region.

Some 60-70 year olds says young people dont want to hustle amy more.

I think a problem with today's work "scheme" is that employees are stake-holders in a companies success, but generally are treated as dispensable leaches.

When I first found out that "private" banking is actually just shorthand for, "banking for the rich", rather than a *standard term* one might otherwise use for *most banks in the private sector*- which, apparently, are actually just called "retail banks", weirdly enough- I was like... "Huh...🙃"
I'm Gen Z, work as a software developer. I regularly put in probably too many hours. I recently have been feeling lazy though. Not because I actually don't want to work but just because the stress of earning enough to support my fiancé and our future children is seriously getting to me. Like how in the hell am I supposed to buy a house, afford children, provide a decent living for a family of four? I make pretty good money but almost all of it has gone to anyone besides me. I don't need much, just a hard drive or video game every now and then. Even that it too much or else I risk messing up plans I have 6 months from now. Shit is just too damn expensive. The "laziness" is just a feeling of hopelessness.

If working ain't providing enough to live off of, let alone get to our goals and dreams, really what is the point? In Britain, even teachers and solicitors are struggling with the mortgage, so why bother? May as well as be a little poorer but with our health and sanity in check and have the time for our loved ones and leisure. No boss will ever see how we are when the inevitable burnout happens!
As much as they complain about Gen-Z, I've never seen anyone more entitled than middle-aged and older bosses. These are the people who honestly, in their very bones, believe that everyone else should feel grateful for the opportunity to give their time and energy, around the clock, to promote the success of a for-profit business that shares none of those profits with the workers. In fact, you should want it so much, you just freely volunteer an extra 20-40 hours on top of what you're (poorly) paid for! And if you suggest any different, you are a Bad Person. That is like supervillain levels of entitlement.

Millenial here: I bent over backwards for one of the companies I worked for to the point of a nervous breakdown, leaving me in the ER. The company subsequently screwed up their finances, laid me off, and eventually folded. Listen...no corporate job is worth putting in more than the bare minimum. They don't care about you, they are insecure, and are not where your value comes from. Focus on your relationships, hobbies, and passions to find self-worth. A job is just for money to fund these passions.
When did ‘hustling’ become a thing? Hustling is what people did in the streets to survive. They became hustlers. So the entire term is a cool cultural way of saying: millions of people are trying to survive because the very system that promised them prosperity for honest work is failing them. That’s what it is. And if you’re a daughter of a rich and connected person you aren’t hustling.
The hardest worker is always the first to be laid off, the boss usually see them as a threat to their power. At least thats my experience from working construction.
Exactly. The problem is when you make a good income off 1 job then it gets dangled in front of you and you’re told you’re not worth it. Luckily in my profession I have always been able to find a new position when the time came to get another job.
Late millennials and Gen Z both started to ask an extremely important question: "Why do I have to wait til I'm 60 to enjoy life?" All the while, bombarded with media from trust fund babies and the affluent caste of oligarch children living life instead of living to work and began to ask, "Why can't I have that too?" Then the pandemic hit and people realized _how much time_ work actually absorbed and what it was like to actually indulge in self-driven pursuits and that is one HELL of a genie that is IMPOSSIBLE to put back in the bottle.
I’m Gen X asking the same question-why do I have to wait until I’m old and frail to ‘enjoy’ life. During the pandemic working at home, I was saving 3 hours a day not having to commute. I thought they couldn’t put the genie back in the bottle, but the company I work for is doing exactly that with strict RTO and all that crap. Been stuck in this nightmare for decades now. Am burnt out and exhausted. And hoping that Gen Z actually ends up changing it for the better somehow so they don’t have to waste their lives in cubicle hell the way I did.
@@WantAllTheCake The juice of retirement just doesn't feel like it's worth the squeeze anymore.

This lady reminds me of a very wealthy Indian woman I met years ago. She was covered in jewels and we were going to drop off her son at USC. We were mentioning to her that USC was in a poor neighborhood and maybe she should dress more appropriately. She was very understanding. She looked at her hands, turned the rings with the largest gems upside down and said, "okay, let us go to USC."
I literally decided to start doing the bare minimum at work. I will do my tickets and stare at my desk for the rest of the day. No more projects, no more organizing things in the back end. Because there is no recognition, but if something happens to break, even if it's a temporary break that needed to happen I get the shit. So I'll leave things as an unorganized time bomb. No skin off my back.
There’s something to be said for accumulating enough money to not rely on the children you didn’t have if you become infirm. Beyond that, what’s the point? I am at an old folks home nearly every day. Three men. Anomalies because all the other hustlers didn’t make it. If the kids see the futility of the hustle and choose a different path, then good for them.
Journalists are paid horribly, because the value they provide to society is minimal at best. She didn't get her "success" from working. The work from home web dev who plays video games on company time unironically provides more value to the world.
This woman seems to genuinely not understand that the promotions they dangle in front of us NEVER COME. Most of us did work over time for quite a while, only to get jerked around more. the moment it's time to collect on all that extra effort, we get more lectures about how hard their lives are. We're sick of it. Were businesses to actually uphold their end, they would find plenty of people willing to bust their a$$es.
This is what I've seen. 1. Get promised future promotion. 2. Work really hard for many months/ years. 3. When it's time to get the promotion get told " we really need to keep you in current position you do so well we don't want to replace you ". This has happened to me multiple times over the years I just can't anymore
Agreed - for ten years I was on permanent “on-call” status as a security guard: I was taking all the weird shifts (mostly overnights and weekends) nobody else wanted, putting in 50-60 hours a week and often working 7-10 days *in a row* for my company! But when the time came to get the promotion to management, those jobs always went to someone else: usually somebody that just got hired on a few weeks back and was related to someone at the corporate office - apparently all my hard work and experience as a security professional in the field is no match for being the nephew of the regional manager! So to hell with that - I now work at a union warehouse and don’t put in much more than 40 hours a week anymore: I can’t take it now that I am pushing 40 and there’s not much point to it anyway - I am only at my job to collect a check and that’s it.
If my job pays me 50% below market rate, asks me to do a BS pointless two hour zoom call, then adds extra responsibilities that for example incur fees on myself, well they have to realize I am subtracting all that from the effort I’ll put in. The companies are doing it to themselves by trying to constantly get one over on us
I think "who cares". Never heard of the lady, hopefully never will and i wish she kept her dellusions to herself. Why give her audiance and talk about it?
I've never gotten a raise from working harder. Neither has anyone I know personally. The only way I, or anyone I know, have gotten a raise, is by hopping companies.
I am an old guy who works at a tech company with a lot of the "Gen Z" folk, and they are some of the most hard working, decent people I know. Unlike this posh (redacted), I actually want them to succeed.
Most gen Z will never own a house, regardless of how hard they work. Why the hell would they destroy themselves for greedy corporations, that are only interested in harvesting all the value from their employees.
Yep, learnt about this chick from The Kavernacle. Mainstream journalism (and politics as well) is dominated by rich kids. Rich kids hiring their buddies from the same schools or families. It's mad. The left bang on about this endlessly in our country as a clear sign of classism. Born rich? You'll pretty much stay rich, be more well connected and more likely to be in the higher echelons of general societal power...and I can agree with them depending on the person like our Sophia here. One more thing, thank you for going through the pain of reading her article. Her trying to hide her privilege yet failing is hilarious.
Hustling is happening less simply because it's become the default expectation. There's no sprinting, there's no special reward for it, because if everyone's hustling, hardly anyone who hustles can get promoted. Plus, they can jjust promote no one and hire or transfer instead.
This woman is a living parody. Seriously, from the cartoonishly out of touch stuff she spouts, to the family line packed with titles, to her name having "money" in it, she's one dalmation fur coat away from being the heel in an animated feature.
I'm Gen X . Hustled in all those companies. The same ones who were quick to fire me after growing their business. So it's not worth it. For my team, I just tell them, i don't care whether you are late or leave early as long as you get the job done & achieve the goal. My new mantra now is Work Smart, Play Hard . My gen z daughters are choosing Life. Now i'm anti-hustle
Remember when workplaces actually gave raises? Remember when pension funds were safe? Remember when they hired all the candidates and fired the bad ones? I don’t, so why hustle? 😅
I’m Gen X and used to work for a gallery that verbally praised me for going above and beyond but then hired this awful catty bimbo. She made more work for the rest of us and was really insulting when the boss wasn’t around. But he was infatuated with her and how much she fawned over him. For a while I tried to point out how manipulative and incompetent she was but he relegated it to us having “a spat”. The other female administrative assistant got fed up and quit. Finally I quiet quit. If she showed up to a function she wasn’t supposed to be at I just walked out. I did my own thing on the side and when the business fell apart I was secure and had my own hustle going. She tried to get hired at another gallery but I told the owner what she was like and they hired someone else. Unfortunately there’s never been many good bosses worth giving your all to. Best to invest in you. ❤
Older Millennial here. To all the Gen Z, you’re not lazy, you’re right. The squeeze is no longer worth the juice. I personally blame the dissolution of traditional western culture. Get married, if one partner works, they hustle. If both partners work, there should be no hustle from anybody because you need to reserve your time and energy on the household. It’s that simple. With women in the workplace, the economy has twice the population of people for the job. Therefore pay is low. If people start dropping out, then shortage of labor will lead to increase in pay. I’m looking forward to the cultural revolution of traditional households.

I’ve worked at 2 full-time jobs in a manufacturing and semiconductor company that have proven to me that hard work is simply exploited, not rewarded.
@@mecanuktutorials6476 you're not specifying how though. I worked two jobs for a decade until I found one that paid more than working two jobs together. The money was definitely needed. I wouldn't say I overworked myself at any job I was doing. A couple of those jobs I probably stayed at for two long, but I will say one thing. I never had a primary job where going the extra mile didn't help, and it probably helped me get to the job I had now. It has never steered or anyone I advised wrong. It led to a higher raise when it was time for a review and the option to move to different or higher positions which led to me being able to upgrade my resume and sell myself better in interviews.

I know people with this attitude. It drives them NUTS that their employees (whom they pay minimum wage) aren't reliable and quit without notice. I don't know if this business can actually afford to pay more or not, but they don't get it. Whether they can afford to pay more or not, you get what you pay for.

When did ‘hustling’ become a thing? Hustling is what people did in the streets to survive. They became hustlers. So the entire term is a cool cultural way of saying: millions of people are trying to survive because the very system that promised them prosperity for honest work is failing them. That’s what it is. And if you’re a daughter of a rich and connected person you aren’t hustling.
The hardest worker is always the first to be laid off, the boss usually see them as a threat to their power. At least thats my experience from working construction.

Late millennials and Gen Z both started to ask an extremely important question: "Why do I have to wait til I'm 60 to enjoy life?"
All the while, bombarded with media from trust fund babies and the affluent caste of oligarch children living life instead of living to work and began to ask, "Why can't I have that too?"
Then the pandemic hit and people realized _how much time_ work actually absorbed and what it was like to actually indulge in self-driven pursuits and that is one HELL of a genie that is IMPOSSIBLE to put back in the bottle.
I’m Gen X asking the same question-why do I have to wait until I’m old and frail to ‘enjoy’ life. During the pandemic working at home, I was saving 3 hours a day not having to commute. I thought they couldn’t put the genie back in the bottle, but the company I work for is doing exactly that with strict RTO and all that crap. Been stuck in this nightmare for decades now. Am burnt out and exhausted. And hoping that Gen Z actually ends up changing it for the better somehow so they don’t have to waste their lives in cubicle hell the way I did.

This woman seems to genuinely not understand that the promotions they dangle in front of us NEVER COME. Most of us did work over time for quite a while, only to get jerked around more. the moment it's time to collect on all that extra effort, we get more lectures about how hard their lives are. We're sick of it. Were businesses to actually uphold their end, they would find plenty of people willing to bust their a$$es.
This is what I've seen. 1. Get promised future promotion. 2. Work really hard for many months/ years. 3. When it's time to get the promotion get told " we really need to keep you in current position you do so well we don't want to replace you ". This has happened to me multiple times over the years I just can't anymore
Agreed - for ten years I was on permanent “on-call” status as a security guard: I was taking all the weird shifts (mostly overnights and weekends) nobody else wanted, putting in 50-60 hours a week and often working 7-10 days *in a row* for my company! But when the time came to get the promotion to management, those jobs always went to someone else: usually somebody that just got hired on a few weeks back and was related to someone at the corporate office - apparently all my hard work and experience as a security professional in the field is no match for being the nephew of the regional manager!
So to hell with that - I now work at a union warehouse and don’t put in much more than 40 hours a week anymore: I can’t take it now that I am pushing 40 and there’s not much point to it anyway - I am only at my job to collect a check and that’s it.
If my job pays me 50% below market rate, asks me to do a BS pointless two hour zoom call, then adds extra responsibilities that for example incur fees on myself, well they have to realize I am subtracting all that from the effort I’ll put in. The companies are doing it to themselves by trying to constantly get one over on us

Older Millennial here. To all the Gen Z, you’re not lazy, you’re right. The squeeze is no longer worth the juice. I personally blame the dissolution of traditional western culture. Get married, if one partner works, they hustle. If both partners work, there should be no hustle from anybody because you need to reserve your time and energy on the household. It’s that simple. With women in the workplace, the economy has twice the population of people for the job. Therefore pay is low. If people start dropping out, then shortage of labor will lead to increase in pay. I’m looking forward to the cultural revolution of traditional households.
Not gonna lie, you almost had me…up to the last sentence.
