Today my 10 year old came into by bedroom crying. I asked why and she said, "I'm sad because I'm too young to start a multi million dollar company." I responded, "You're never too young!" The next day we solved world hunger and now we're billionaires. #gaslight #gatekeep #girlboss 🥰💪💸

@Sierra J not only that, there's a finite number of people who can ever have wealth like that before there isn't enough to go around. There literally isn't enough currency on Earth for every American to be a millionaire, let alone what these people make. Like, if we took all the money from every country of every type of currency we'd still not have enough for every American to have a million dollars. And that's not even enough to retire these days. So mathematically there will be people who die poor literally no matter what they do. Solutions for the problems these people face aren't something "hustle culture" is really equipped to provide.

it really is some 'work will set you free' type shit like its not OUR fault the cost of living's gone up some 500% since the 20th century T~T

[@0.-.0]

You're completely right, and it's not "for some reason"-- it's biological. Human beings do not flourish under the conditions of capitalism. Physical health, mental health, social health, and overall happiness deteriorates very quickly when we are forced to work long hours with no gain to ourselves, our interests, our families, or our lives other than the privilege of buying food to live and work another day. We are musical, artistic, poetic, silly beings that need play as much as we need work. The biological drive for every living creature is to do the least amount of work with the most amount of gain possible. Capitalism is exactly the opposite of that-- work as hard as you can and get nothing in return. Hustle culture is the most extreme end of internalizing all of capitalism's morals and values.

[@Vesperad0]

That is because late-stage capitalism is, in it of itself, dystopic. It is harmful and dangerous to people and yet greed for money and control blinds the ones who are better off to all of it's downsides.

I’ve never been sucked into hustle culture, but I DO have gifted kid burnout and the two are incredibly similar to me. In middle and high school, I was so paranoid that not doing every thing would ruin my chances of getting into a good college so I would fail. I neglected my hygiene, my sleep, and my social life to accomplish this. My last two years of high school were spent waking up at 4am and not taking a moment to rest until 10pm. It was exhausting and unsustainable. Now, I’m a college student who feels like a vat of wasted potential, struggles to even brush my teeth more than once a week, and is too burnt out to even put effort into the things I’m supposed to love.

Okay, for reasons out of my control (mostly capitalism) I have found myself in the thick of the corporate workforce and I have to say, my experience with LinkedIn is so different. Not better btw, because it's toxic in its own way. I think the examples you are finding are a lot of the bottom of the barrel wannabe types. No SAP or Oracle sales person would ever talk like that. They would be laughed out of the room. High end multinational enterprise sales take months, even years. They aren't selling used cars and the relationship isn't over just because you closed a deal. So you can't act like these assholes. On the other hand, there's this toxic fake positivity and pretensions to CSR (corporate social responsibility, think all of those big companies posting black squares during the height of the BLM protests) that is pervasive in the upper echelons of LinkedIn. They actively swing the other way with their posts. They talk about how important it is to have work life balance all while they work you to the bone. They pretend to be caring organizations with big hearts trying to change the world all while killing the planet. I'd say that stuff is even more insidious. Because they pretend to care about your well-being while actively ensuring its destruction.

I’m right there with you ‘in the thick of the corporate workforce’ even though I have little desire to.

I don’t care about climbing the corporate ladder and I feel bad when I see some co-workers sending emails in the middle of the night. Spoiler alert: the industry we are in is NOT life-saving at all, nothing is worth checking emails in the middle of the night. Anyway, I have two things I tell my 4 year old son: “Commercials/ads lie to you” and “Companies are never your friend and never care about you and will almost always lie if they can get away with it”.

I remember stressing out about how I needed to have everything situated by age 18 and pay for everything and move out but I realized i am good where I am at age 19, I have a job, I have a car and a credit card and pay for my essentials and live at home. I'm hustling but at my own pace and I'm alright.

I was just diagnosed with ADHD 2 months ago, and it's tough having undiagnosed ADHD because I would look up productivity tips and what to do, and ran into so much hustle culture and then feel even worse about myself cause I'm not even at the normal baseline of work. I'm not trying to up my productivity so that I can hustle, I'm trying to up my productivity so that I can get ANYTHING or SOMETHING done, even just 1 or 2 hours of focus, so I can be happy and make it through my day job that I do like but ain't obsessed w and also be able to focus on my hobbies and social situations better. Now that I'm diagnosed I know a bit better of what tips actually work for me and where to look for them. I still want to up my focus and productivity but for my own personal mental health cause getting nothing done also doesn't feel great.

Another thing I realized is that a lot of the people who push hustle culture with a large platform ACTUALLY ENJOY the hustle, the competition. They LIKE IT! And people are inspired by their wealth so they try to do it and it’s not normal to enjoy hustle culture. It’s not normal because the reason you’re working is different than the reason someone like Gary V is working. I used to be in hustle culture because I thought the more I hustled, the faster I could ESCAPE the hustle. Until I realized my life was getting away from me, my mental health was deteriorating, and I was tolerating toxic work places for the sake of… still not making enough money. My solution was to leave hustle culture, find remote work, work a job that is as simple as possible and use the rest of my time and steady income to take care of myself.

[@dannyb2519]

Some further nuance on this topic is probably the other side of hustle culture which is fed to minorities. It’s kinda like “if you work hard enough you can get out of the trenches”. Often times it robs young people of enjoying their childhoods because if they don’t work to help out at home, then they’re somehow “ungrateful” and “spoiled”. It’s the weirdest thing and I find it so common in ethnic households. And obviously racism plays a factor in hiring so the idea that we’re supposed to just get 3 jobs and work hard to provide for our families completely undermines how race, gender, and class affects your work life.

I think the term "hustling" means something different now than it did when I was a kid. When I was younger hustling was some form of under the table work you did outside of your conventional job such as dealing drugs or doing odd jobs around the neighbourhood. Example: ,"After work, Jim hustles by shovelling snow off people's driveways so he can buy a new car"
