I’m fresh for a worker, only 5 years under my belt working, but i have seen some of the shit you all post and it makes the future seem so bad.
Living paycheck to paycheck, homeless with fulltime jobs, having no time to yourself while companies and businesses bleed you dry and toss you if you make a commotion. I would honestly no be surprised if some businesses started work colonies to have a reason for you to be around all the time.
My question is, do you think its ever going to be better? I hate having a bad outlook on it all, because there is some good news, like the Amazon Union or some positive stories of making double or triple your worth doing half the work from leaving a shitty situation. Though, it still seems like it will be worse only because prices go up, and we cant spend a dime over budget because gas, food and everything else has skyrocketed.
I will say that, no, i dont want to not work, i like doing my part, and im thankful that my experiences havent been nearly as bad as some of yours. I have had managers and coworkers that sucked, but overall i think my positive attitude towards doing my part and helping others made it better. I’d appreciate making more and doing a little less, just having my free time and not feeling so burnt out would give me back so much motivation and freedom to be with friends and family, and persue my own interests.
What i want, and im sure what all of you are wanting, is a future that is a bit better for the working class, and i dont want to go on and on about how rich bad, big business bad, price hike bad, we all have heard it. I just want some reason to be hopeful. Maybe being so low i just dont understand greed as much as the rich or big businesses. Everyone always wants more, but if we all got a chance to share that, or at least make a fraction of it, and have more time for ourselves and our relationships, there would be so much more peace.
I dont wanna sound cringey, and i know i probably sound naive, and i am! But i cant see why we’re almost like slaves at this point for companies and businesses, when its shown that being more relaxed and more benefited leads to better work. This is just brain vomit at this point about how i feel, but i just want to look forward to going to work instead of dreading it every day. Everyone should want to work, while not being exploited, we all wanna do our part, and i hope a change can happen.
