  This checks out. You sound EXACTLY like me when I was 29 and an insufferable know-nothing piece of shit. Now I’m embarrassed for both of us.

  Having boomer opinions is a mindset thing, not an age thing.

  Also: I’m older than you.

        It’s because my parents had jobs and didn’t waste the money 😬

  I’m 38. I used to think like you. Then I realised it was a business not a person and my boss wasn’t my friend, and that I should be getting more for less.

    I basically aim to job hop for promotion. I work for large organisations, which enjoy economies of scale. And thus they are able to pay me more than my previous boss earns, who was a small business owner.

    I’m not naive. I don’t ask for promotion or anything. They either give it to me or they suffer brain drain.

      This is all great, for you, if you want to live your life like this, but I don’t understand why you think that this should be standard.

        Doesn’t have to be standard, go work 32 hours. If everyone follows you then you have what you want.

        If all of you collectively decide to work less, then that’s simply the reality.

        Great for me, my labour becomes more valuable as it just became more scarce.
