Progressives, while often having ideas that came from the right place & were justified, are now instead becoming counterproductive… so much so that the term ‘progressive’ has a negative connotation. When Someone refers to you as a ‘progressive’ and it’s meant as a slur, or sarcastic… that’s just ONE of many indicators that the direction progressives are heading is not what they initially had in mind. Unfortunately trying to tell an entire group is next to impossible…. Sucks because it just provides a clear path to those who walk in the middle to be swayed to the other side, and it’s happening.

Thank you. I was a bartender for a decade and to this day or blows my mind that people think that shit is okay. "Yeah, customers suck sometimes, that's part of the territory" Right, so you're really just going to normalize that abuse like it's okay to be screamed at, degraded, insulted, dehumanized, spit at, have things (like scalding cups of coffee) thrown at you, etc. In what fucking world is that okay? Try that shit with oh, I don't know, a police officer just trying to do their job and see how it works out. I think if you can be arrested for being disorderly because you're verbally abusing a police officer, then there should also be laws on the books to protect retail and service workers from the same kind of abuse and harassment And also, as a grow human being, I just plain don't understand how these Karens can literally sit there and scream at and abuse a freaking teenager. Over a fucking cup of coffee. Like what is wrong with people? I challenge anyone who's never done it to work even 3 months in the retail/ service industry, and see how long it takes before they feel this way, before they end up having a day where they're in the break room sobbing. Because I bet damn near everyone would end up in that position at least once in those 3 months. It's so screwed up.

Mad because they had to work a double just to fix your mistake and you get blamed for half the staff calling in sick. There does need to be more protections there for retail workers especially the ones not in management because some of us are lucky to get any hours while they get to work 40 a week and there schedule is always consistent. So they do have a privlage there they just take it for granted and they all blame it on the cashier that's why I applied for a back room job because I don't like dealing with people directly they tend to pick fights a lot and there rude when they don't get what they want from you.

If we end up short even one person? Chances are, it goes to hell. We litterally call it "drowning". And it can last for hours.

Depending on where you work, your place of work can fire you for pretty much anything including declining working when not scheduled. The manager sounds like a real piece of work. Literally scheduling themselves off when they're supposed to be working? Its messed up. Are they getting paid for doing this? Probably not but the situation is still shitty. Evan deserves the right to rant. That's all he's doing.

[@peachesandcream22]

I live in Russia. In McDonalds, many managers could just force you to stay longer at your shift if they had a bad mood. Fortunately, not all managers were assholes. Many of them were also young people who were always worried about workers and always tried to help them. Unfortunately, in Russian McDonalds, being a manager gives you not so much profits and not higher wage. You're still a servant but also multitasking and with much responsibility. If any worker does something wrong, the director will always blame the manager. I heard the story from one girl who worked there for some years (she was a student and wanted some money for living). The manager she had in their point of sale was a very nice young woman who was very passionate about her job. But the workers were mostly 40-50 years old women who were very rude and liked to shout at each other in front of customers, declining their jobs. Even they didn't hestitate to insult the manager until she bringed the word about complaining to the boss, only then these women could stop. Unfortunately, the manager got fired for... Some worker stole money and the boss just blamed the poor girl for this. Middle aged women workers, no matter what they did, could easily get away with nothing but the manager was easily fired for mistake they hadn't done. And the boss would never fire them because they were inveterate and they definitely didn't want to leave their places. These women also liked to bully other young workers.

Our jobs shouldn't be at risk because we wanted to actually have a day off. This guy is in college and working. He has classes he has to pass or loose out on the money he put into having the ability to even take these classes in the first place.

I could really feel the pain in that person's voice. I've been in a similar situation myself as a physically disabled person. When I was going to college at first everything was going well. I was getting stuff in on time and my grades were decent. Then I got really sick like halfway through the semester cuz it's really easy for me to just get sick whenever the weather changes slightly or something. Anyway, I ended up missing a lot of in class time and instruction so I fell way behind. When I got back my anxiety was through the roof and it felt like everything was going a mile a minute. I ended up dropping out because I just couldn't take the stress and I had a panic attack. I learned the hard way that society wasn't set up for people like me to succeed in the workplace. So I decided to find happiness in things I enjoy doing and just be content with the social security I get. Why go to school if I don't really need or want to work? But I get where they're coming from. Anyone who wants to work should be able to and get fairly compensated for their time and effort.

[@alexlevantis8551]

Oh god me too! I had a similar situation happen, although I don't have a physical disability but have mental illness. I was doing fairly okay my first semester of college. I was handing things in, making friends, etc. although I still felt uneasy adjusting because I felt pressured to stay in college and stick til the end. Then, I had a medical emergency happen mid October that messed with mh mental health very badly. After missing a week of class, I started getting depressed and anxious because of the make-up work. I tried my best, but it wasn't until mid-terms and finals began popping up I began to realize I needed further help.

So I'm 12 years older than my sister and while I grew up in poverty, the family was in a much better place financially when she was born. She's a teenager now, has worked every summer since she was 14 and still, one of her biggest insecurities is about the fact that many relatives, even our parents and older brother have repeatedly called her spoiled for having brand-name stuff, getting to travel and having much more choices when it comes to hobbies, clothes, etc. I've had my moments of envy, which I've kept to myself, but I've never understood why people want to make her feel guilty for something that's... good? I wouldn't want her to grow up like I did and while I wish things were different when I grew up, I think it's awesome. I also really don't understand the way some workplaces welcome new employees by making them do the shittiest tasks and treating them like shit, because "this was done to us when we came." Like if it sucked so much, why the fuck would you want others to go through that? I know some feel like it's a kind of retribution or justice, but it's literally making people that had nothing to do with your crappy experiences suffer? And making them hate you like you hated your older colleagues? UGH. I'd say that's peak snowflake behaviour.

I was unemployed for 5 months after quitting my job and it was one of the most stressful , overwhelming and depressing times of my entire life. I was a prek teacher at the time and let me tell you it is literally impossible to find a new job while working as a full time teacher. It's not like I could go to job interviews on weekends or after 4pm when most schools were closed and trying to use my PTO was like pulling teeth so I just quit and started looking. Keep in mind there is a lot of red tape to go through in order to get a teaching job (fingerprinting, background checks, TB tests, etc.). I literally went through 5 job interviews a week and still couldn't find a good fit for me. I ended up giving up teaching entirely and started a training program for a data entry job but I still had to wait 3 months to start it. Honestly if it weren't for my partner paying the rent and the food stamps I was able to get after quitting I know for sure I would have ended up starving and homeless. Thankfully it all worked out in the end but if I could do it all over I would have just fought harder to use my PTO to look for another job instead of letting them walk all over me

[@countessspiritclaws5465]

In the US, those of us who can’t drive are limited to the very, very few jobs that we can walk to. Nothing is walking distance here, so there may genuinely only be one single job available for someone who can’t drive. An entree level employee who cannot drive is lucky to find a single place they’re able to work for. So, you’re trapped at that job because if you quit or get fired, you may not have any other option available.

It's the boomer mentality of "I've had it hard so you should too."

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

In the UK, the really annoying thing is, our boomer generation (and a good part of Gen X ) had a free ride through university until 1998. Not only were there no fees they gave you a maintenance grant to live off, pay rent etc, that you didn't pay back. They could technically come out of it with no debt. While not a lavish lifestyle, it was enough for most to live off and, of course, rent was nowhere near the cost it is now. That was until 1998! So all those who went to uni before that, did so free of charge. Now in Scotland (if you lived there for a certain number of years before) uni is still free of fees, but it's no longer a maintenance grant it's a loan like the rest of the UK. I believe from a quick search that public colleges were free of fees in the US until the 60s. So again, itxs boomers who got free stuff doing the complaining. Although I'm Gen X myself, I missed out on a "free" degree by 2 years because I was too ill to go until my late 20's. I so often hear those who got a free higher education complaining that "kids nowadays want everything handed to them"...no, they just want the same opportunities that their parents/grandparents had. They want to not have crippling debt when they finish their education, and they want to be able to find a job in their chosen field after all that studying & debt without being told they need experience for an entry level job. Oh, and they want to not be miserable while slaving for a multi billion pound/dollar company. It's not too much to ask. Some countries still manage free education (Sweden for example).

Starbucks is also one of very few retail jobs that offers health insurance that provides trans health care. A lot of trans people work there for that reason.

[@cryptid-immortality]

I honestly got SO lucky when I was able to get a data entry position at my moms work. My disability makes retail and food service impossible for me, and I was looking for a job for MONTHS. I had multiple interviews, and I've had employers lie about location, or reject me after the interview. I can't help my school schedule, but I also can't! work retail! or food service! it's so frustrating when older adults just say "oh just go work at the grocery store" when I physically and mentally cannot.

[@Kobalos]

I am an 'older' millennial (34) and I feel for this person. I worked for Holland and Barrett when I was in my early 20's and it was the most dehumanizing experience. Made to work when sick, barley got lunch breaks, bollocked for not meeting targets, being told to bully customers to make sales. These companies treat you like trash it has got nothing to do with the 'Youth not wanting to work!'

[@klavczarkalafan4191]

Right, the youth just have some self-respect.

I would love to watched her handle a rush at Starbucks when it is understaffed and customers are yelling at you. Its really fucking hard to be able to manage 30+ mobile orders, take new orders, and make sure everything gets out on time and is correct. It’s not an easy job. You also make no tips when this happens because everyone is mad at you. I have definitely cried a few times at the end of the day because I’m just physically and mentally exhausted.

[@robynbombace3730]

Don’t forget to run out to the cafe every 20 minutes to sweep, wipe down the tables and clean and restock the condiment bar! You don’t want the District Manager to start complaining.

we bought our house in 2006 for $249k(NZ) (seems so cheap now) and now it is "worth" $650k.....there is no way we could afford to buy now..I feel for those who are trying to get into the housing market today. I feel fortunate that we are able to live off my husband's income

I think a thing that was really glossed over was the person was also trying to get neurodivergent accommodation at work, so being over worked equals over stimulation... poor dude

[@amberb.6395]

That poor guy. I totally get where he’s coming from. I haven’t worked as a barista, but I do work in food service. When you’re short staffed, it’s a ticket straight for the hot-mess-express. It’s not fun, incredibly stressful, and you generally don’t leave on time. Most people don’t even want to work these jobs. I know I don’t always love my job, but it’s the only one I can have with my experience where I can still pay my bills. I live in a small town- with a neighboring slightly larger town nearby where I work at- so there’s only coffee shops, hotels, retail stores, fast food joints, and a couple of grocery stores that I could work at. None of which pay nearly as much as I make, and most aren’t even hiring

[@chaoticeldritchentity]

Another thing I perticularly love about the "you need experience to work anywhere" thing is that I'm currently in high school and if I were to get a job I would literally exhaust myself and probably fail school. I mean, on top of having ADHD, just the fact that solely classes take up 38 hrs in my week and that's not counting the fact that I spend around 3hrs a day just getting to and from school. I pretty much spend 12 hrs every day just doing school, excluding weekends, and so getting in any time to work is impossible during the school year. And in the summer I either relax just so, you know, I don't have a mental breakdown at the ripe age of 16, or have to study more because apparently my high school doesn't understand that holidays aren't just more time to do work. I genuinely believe that the people who require experience from students have had a very different high school experience because mine has gotten to the point where certain teachers have less hours in school than I do, and the lovely polish government (because I live in Poland) not only isn't fixing this but is actively making it worse. I genuinely do not know how I'll get a job during uni, given that I want to study abroad, given that literally the only period I'll have to get experiece in poland (which again, I don't know how lovely searching for a job here will go) will be the around 1 year it will take me to get a student visa, and this summer, if I decide to work. But conservatives will still act as if we have everything handed to us on a silver platter and they had it so much harder than us /s.

Be careful with the company Aura. The founder Lima Jevremovic is dangerous and the whole technology surrounding Aura is very sketchy. I'm not faulting Queer Kiwi at all for working with them, but I'm just trying to spread awareness. If you want to know more about Lima, check out BJ Investigates videos on her.

Some things I'm pretty sure(key words "pretty sure") can affect how many and what kind of jobs people can get include: Race, education level, socioeconomic status, whether the person has a disability, their sexual orientation/gender identity, and how much work experience(if any at all) just to list a few. I somehow dodged a bullet about working at Hobby Lobby because of their work attire rules for women and a lot of "Christian" workplaces(like Hobby Lobby, Chick Fil A, and Salvation Army) don't take too kindly to LGBTQ+ workers(I'm not even straight).

[@argonanarchy3820]

Huh. You're right. But I got lucky for the Salvos I volunteer at. It's pretty good. Although I haven't yet had the pronouns discussion. The thing with volunteering is you really can just get up and leave

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

@@argonanarchy3820 idk if I could bring myself to volunteer at salvos, but I guess it's a way to get experience if there's nothing else. That said, after uni I did volunteer work for Samaritans (I'm in the UK) for a year, working admin stuff directly with the branch director, applied for a very similar but paid job with Age Concern (as it was called then) and was told it was between me & one other person, they "really liked [me] but went with the other person because her experience was *paid* " even though it was a shorter length of time 🤦🤷. I'm still pretty sure it was an underhand disability discrimination. Anyway, it was about then I gave up trying, my degree got me nowhere because I was either over or under qualified for the jobs in my field or needed 2years experience for an entry level job. My work advisor had been telling me for a year I should go on disability so I finally did.

If you have you wouldn't be saying things like 'just quit' or 'that's what you signed up for'.

Idk why but the way she gripes about “he’s venting in public and making it everybody else’s problem”. Excuse me? Have you never seen any other Gen Z vent or over share online when they’re having a hard time to seek sympathy among an online community?? It’s kind of one of those things that we just do, myself included :P It’s hard to manage with this kind of stuff unless you know you’re not alone. That’s why we post this stuff online. That his video happened to catch the attention of a conservative audience is accidental, it’s not for them. It’s for all the other people out there working minimum wage jobs who are overworked and underpaid and feel like the world’s collapsing around them from the stress. I get it, because I’m there too. We’re not alone.
