    They're not paying a living wage, they expect you to be available when they want you and to go away when they don't, and they give you hideous workloads. They rob you of dignity, cheat you money, and deprive you of benefits. "No one wants to work anymore." Fucking bullshit.

      I’ve had so many shitty managers, including three millennials. People literally cant treat employees like humans and just a productivity machine. I worked jobs both at big corps and small mom and pop stores and they are all the same

        I have a problem with hierarchy honestly. It goes deeper than just not like capitalism or communism or monarchism or whatever.

        Hierarchy is at the root of so many of our problems as a species.

    I feel like making generations has done some harm. This isn’t like, a “Gen z” thing, it’s a young people thing, it’s a “people who are the future of humanity” problem. The future of humanity is one in which people cannot psychologically handle the life they’re expected to/forced to lead. That is a lot more serious. It’s not like, just some cultural issue with Gen Z like the debate about ankle socks

      Separating people into groups is generally harmful, it invites hate and competition.

      It’s almost surprising the number isn’t higher.

        Half of the ones that aren't burnt out are unemployed.

    Honestly, we need to all stop working until our leaders are interested in fixing wealth inequality.

    We all waste 5/7ths of our lives turning this wheel that now only benefits a few thousand people at the top who then take the money they get from our work and use it to fuck children.

    Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

      Nothing will meaningfully improve until people fear being rich.

    I’m burnt out trying to go the extra mile, I just don’t care anymore.

      I’m burnt out trying to go the standard mile, even. Because corpo now expects everyone to fill in for the two others that left, so we’re all on triple workload. Forget about any extra miles.
