(put nsfw label because im cursing a lot in this lol)
i always hear older folks saying gen z doesn't wanna work, no one wants to work these days, etc.
well here i am.
i don't want to work. shits not even worth it. i quit school to work because this one job demanded it, right? 1,500 every 2 weeks, full benefits, NASTY for a 19-21 year old. it was heavy work, 12 hour shifts. but it was a routine, i got used to it. i honestly could've stayed with this job for a few more years.
i had hr cases every other fucking week. i couldn't simply show up and do my goddamn job without being harassed. on top of that, i simply couldn't do my fucking job properly because so many of the things i needed to do my job correctly (ie. racks, power tools, routine maintenance) were just. not provided. just had to keep working! keep going! push the numbers!
i get this other job at a really well known store. just a placeholder for now. worked there before when i was like 19. both times, shit. this time around, its barely my second fucking week and these dickheads are calling me every single day since hire to come in. asking me every day to stay after hours. mind you they pay me $16. let me do my shift and go the fuck home?
apparently half the fucking team is quitting this upcoming thursday. i don't know if it was a whole resign, two-weeks thing or what. but how lucky am i right? im getting trained on like everything because i guess when these guys are gone, i'm gonna be the main guy! yay!!
these seedy fucks see an eager, versatile worker and drain your fucking soul. jesus christ. im thinking about getting my guard card and taking a graveyard shift in a fucking cemetery. some peace and quiet for once, no one breathing down my neck.
do any other young people feel this way? i swear its like the weight of capitalism is on my shoulders. greedy, money hungry, apathetic vampires sinking their teeth deeper and deeper into my neck.
yes it's true i don't wanna work!! i wanna sit at home and have money just cuz! i want a house because im a human being and i should have shelter!! what the fuck!! also if this sounds weird i should mention im autistic so, maybe this is burnout? i dont know! im fine everywhere else in my life, but when it comes to working i just get this overwhelming sense of dread. i swear the current state of capitalism and our work force just feels so unnatural. it makes me want to go fucking feral and live with wild animals. ANYTHING to get away from the greed and money-centric living.
edit: jesus christ some of you are genuinely so miserable it's embarrassing. if it wasn't clear: this is a vent post! i don't actually wanna sit around and get money and a house in turn for doing nothing 🙂 🙂 im just a young worker complaining about work, talking with people who feel the same. can i do that in peace or ?
edit 2: ok this is ridiculous? i don't get what the fuck some of you have against me for this post?
