Why do I work 40 hours a week when I’ll never be able to move out my parents house? How can I compare with these companies?

Lost my temper today at my soon to be ex-boss

I am the store manger of a food business that was hit really hard by COVID-19. Losing 90% of revenue overnight bad. The owners decided to shut the business for many, many months and then re-open it. I was given a very small crew to build it up from the ground and It's slowly getting better but we're miles away from hitting profit levels. Things were really quiet for months but I started to get overwhelmed by e-mails, phone calls, customer service, ordering, stocking etc. I used to have an assistant manger but that's not possible due to low revenue.

We realize now that we are nothing more than cogs in a machine, a dying breed. A class being phased out. At this point, I have relinquished the notion that I'm going to have a good life, rich people and the older generation has ruined it for all of us, big companies are constantly fucking us and not even hiding it anymore. People are starting to get fed up, I know I am. If I can't enjoy the life I visioned for myself because of other people, I will martyr myself to take the people down who took away my future. We gotta figure out a plan.

https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/uig1k5/im_a_suicide_risk_and_its_strictly_because_of/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf That is really all I have to say the comments speak for themselves. Unless any of you want to help me fight the trolls it’s just proof that there is no community here and this is all just virtue signalling.

Work vs Prison

IN PRISON…You spend the majority of your time in an 8×10 cell. AT WORK…You spend most of your time in a 6×8 cubicle. IN PRISON…You get three meals a day. AT WORK…You only get a break for 1 meal and you have to pay for it. IN PRISON… You get time off for good behavior. AT WORK…You get rewarded for good behavior with more work. IN PRISON… A guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you. AT WORK…You must carry around a security card and unlock and open all the doors yourself. IN PRISON… You can watch TV and play games. AT WORK… You get fired for watching TV and playing games. IN PRISON… You get your own toilet. AT WORK… You have to share. IN PRISON…They allow your family and friends to visit. AT WORK… You cannot even speak to your family and friends. IN PRISON… All expenses…
