Why bust your ass for a boss that doesn't care? Work harder and all you get is more work to do, no raises no promotions. Plus give 100% one time and the boss expects that all the time and gets pissed if you don't give it. Better to do just enough to not stand out from the other workers.

Cost of living has made working full time near pointless. Most of my friends are living with their folks at 30 and the two who don't are forking over 1.8k on a goddamn one bedroom apartment. A relative in an area that was known for low CoL is still paying 1.4k
I'm just gonna work part time and rent a room so I can pursue my actual interests in my spare time, fuck this shit

>>83648223
Its not just zoomers, everyone except the elites is fucking tired. I think to myself 15 years ago when I started working and I'm shocked at the amount of horseshit I was willing to tolerate back then for minimum wage.

It literally says in the tweet, it's not worth it to work hard if you can't afford long-term financial goals. >>83648245

>>83648223
they are not cuck simple as that

>>83648223
Your answer's right there in the headline. "Not worth it if they cannot afford long term financial goals."

Seems pretty straightforward. Why bother?

Getting a job is a pain the ass anyway, why do they care so much?

Have you retards never heard of the corporate latter? You start off at the bottom and climb to the top. In 94 I started out in the mailroom and within 6 years got a well paying position and I only had a bullshit degree
No reason why you all can't do that

I blame excessive coddling. I was relentlessly criticized and shamed into working hard at school for my entire childhood, and I ended up finishing grad school and getting an actual fucking career. My family isn't even proud of me. They're scared as fucking shit of the "monster" they've created since I'm "too independent" and can't be controlled.
My brother was allowed to do whatever the fuck he pleases and he's practically a NEET wasting his life away at home on BING BING WAHOOOOOOO bullshit, which he's not even all that great at from what other people have told me. And he's considered the typical zoomer. If parents just beat the fucking normal into their kids, maybe we wouldn't be in half as much of a mess as we are in now.

I'm working hard and all it's done is bring me more wear and tear on my body and more costs. I work hard because I was raised that way but it doesn't pay off at all

No, in fact you're the only one that has ever head of the "corporate latter".

Working hard just gets you more work for no additional pay. All the fruit of that labor goes straight to (((executives))) and (((shareholders))) while your pay stagnates...so why work any harder than the bare minimum?

bro we were set up for failure since we got out. starting fresh as an 18 year old male is way fucking harder than it is 6+ years ago. We pay double from rent to insurance.
its funny that old fucks tell me all the time my car insurance for my 2017 toyota camry will go down. it's been going up every day since I got it in 2020. Clean record, I always lie about how many miles I drive. Still keeps going up.
>>83648347
i make 80k a year. Did it take a while to grind? yes. The thing is, is 80k a year is not the fucking same as 80k a year before lol. 100k+ now is basically the new salary you must reach if you want to hit barely upper middle class.

DEI made this impossible now

Also why promote someone when you can just give them more responsibilities for the same salary.

zoomers are just dumb as doorknobs that basically explains it all they're just retarded.

Car insurance fucks over men, then we get fucked over again in health insurance. Meanwhile women win both of those expenses. It's complete bullshit.
>male drivers get in more accidents and have higher claims than women
>car insurance companies are allowed to charge men more just for being men while women get charged less just for being women
>women go to the doctor more and have higher claims than men
>not allowed to charge individual women more just for being women and charge individual men less just for being men
>instead every employee enrolling for health insurance at your entire company is lumped together and the insurance carrier calculates a demographic score based on the ratio of males to females
>man working in a company full of women? you'll pay more even though it's your foid coworkers driving up the premiums
>woman working in a company full of men? you'll pay less because the men are subsidizing you
tldr the type of insurance where women are cheaper has individualized pricing (women get to keep all their savings) and the type of insurance where men are cheaper has group pricing (women get to pass on their expenses to men)

>>83648223
Everything is too motherfucking expensive

>>83648515
Yeah insurance is a huge problem for my generation just as much as housing. The whole health insurance isn't as much as a hassle as the car insurance. I always get the cheapest health, im a young adult male with no problems.
its crazy to think my insurance was running up at least 1k a year to now 1.4k a year. And this is from a solid 6 years of driving.

>>83648481
your generation grew up on easy mood old man. you would be a cry baby bitch just like all of us if you weren't get paid for shit. which you did get paid shit. you just didn't bat an eye lol. got cheaped out on when it couldve been your generation that can make some change.

>>83648223
It isn't about things being expensive. All previous generations (except boomers and genX) were poor as fuck.

The real reason is because there are no communities nor family goals for long term dreaming.

Most men realized they're undesirable, and nothing will change that.

>>83648677
and what awakening is that? going from no bank account and no money and no friends and no life to the same thing except now homeless? lol.
you act like we're going from riches to homelessness. the only perk of living with your parents is the roof and food, otherwise there is nothing else. there's no pocket money, there's no leaving the house, there's no having anyone over, there is no life.
Our parents have allowed us to not be homeless, that's it.

There hasn't been a corporate ladder for over 20 years. They hire you for the position they hire you for. If they wanted you doing something else, they would've hired you for that.

>>83648643
No, for me, it's about cost of living. I have to eat and need a roof over my head

>>83648677
That's only really a problem if your parents are poor. Someone who inherits a home and a few million from parents will be better off than some guy who worked hard grinding from nothing.

I have lived with minimum wage just fine, given I lived a very frugal life, not getting doordash every day.

I enjoy being able to afford nice things, especially the luxury of returning the same criticism and bombardment they subjected me to for decades right back to their faces. It's a hell of a rush, especially when you rub it back into their faggot faces that they failed to kill you, or that you're actually succeeding on your own terms in spite of their handicaps.

And the most hilarious part is, my parents have made me the "designated responsible person" for their estate since literally nobody else is competent or trustworthy enough to execute it. And this is in spite of me striking back over and over again. Really, I don't like them much, but the potential to royally piss off the extended family later on is worth it to me.

They'd rather have an automated line of production and services instead of just creating new policies that put an end to this engineered recession economy.

If I get qualified and get 40k in debt, I am entitled to earning 110k in my industry. There is no point in progression, because the small amount more money I could make is meaningless compared to the infinite amount more stress.

People in Australia only actually earn money if they work in mining or healthcare. For me to actually earn more and make it worth it, I would have to spend another half decade of my life dealing with fuck ass universities, huge crippling debt, and dumbass professors who thinks they are God's gift for explaining the Socratic method to a fucking medicine major.
