This is true in a lot of ways, and it doesn’t help that we’re dealing with a migrant crisis here in America, because I strongly feel like these companies are even thriving as a result because they know they can get away with paying them less because they know that these migrants come from countries where they are lucky to make $2-3 in a day. The companies also bank on it because they know that migrants don’t have leverage like the citizens.

He's hardly helped with his child doesn't call her or visit and even decided to move across the country with some woman he cheated on me with and STILL does nothing for his child. That's probably why he has no custody because mom is providing for kiddo and mom was there when kiddo was crying thinking her daddy didn't love her anymore and mom was at every baseball game and everything despite working two jobs. 🥰 mind ya business honey.

I don't buy the "He's abusive" story...... it's much too commonly used to "get a leg up" in custody and divorce cases. In the meantime, try hard to teach your child not to repeat your mistakes..... it's not the child's fault you both were irresponsible.

I’m doing a stressful job right now I’m am 34. But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m living hell with these kinds of jobs I understand why this woman is having a breakdown. That was not out of rudeness or anything but these young men and woman are suffering and in most cases they end up being depressed. People shouldn’t have to suffer we should all have a great life no matter who you are. Everyone deserves a great life. And I don’t understand why these bosses at these companies or factories are being such jerks these people who are young have never had experienced this in there entire life’s. As I said yes I’m still young but I have experienced this for about 13 years so I know how miserable it is. And what is life without a meaning because if you work a 9-5 job then you don’t get to see your family for pretty much the whole day. And usually people retire around the ages of 53-60 so if they have to experience that for 20+ years then I would be depressed and sad. Thank god that I’m not working a 9-5 job. Plus life is short you can die at any time not to get anyone scared but it’s true. But the main reason god gave us a life is for us to have a great one not have a miserable this is a lesson for lots of young people and I hope everybody has a great life instead of a miserable one.

Im 29, one of the last millennials and grew up pre phone and internet but also having access to these things as a teenager so I feel the gen z relation. Having a job sucks but i was always hungry for good work and good pay and ive spent time in several jobs including a 9 to 5 and took every elevated opportunity as time went on. Its life and i do spend time on my side hustles to make doing what i enjoy for a living in the future.

the fact of the matter is that college degrees don't have as much weight as they did 10-20 years ago especially when so many skills and knowledge can be learnt from the comfort of your own home. not to mention simply having a degree with good grades isn't gonna cut it anymore. you need to learn new skills as well as do project and internships to gain experience. colleges have failed to realise this, rather its not that they haven't realised this, its just that they purposefully don't acknowledge this and change because their entire existence is based on the fact that everyone needs a college degree. colleges need to focus more on students doing assignments and projects where they actually need to utilise their knowledge and solve problems. not simply grind through your class notes and textbooks and score some grade. don't get me wrong tests and exams do still matter as but society in general has to stop treating grades like its the gold standard for dictating whether you're eligible or not to be in the industry. i've noticed that many companies during an interview only ask for basic knowledge of what you know and the rest is mostly about any projects or interships you've done

On most days, I work the day job, spend some quality time with my family for a couple of hours, and then go to work on the moonlight business for a few hours before bedtime. When I see her cry and complain about her "9-to-5", I do not blame her, or anyone else in Generation Z. I blame all of their HORRIBLE parents for constantly affirming them (without challenging them) and failing to give them the crucial life skills and coping strategies. She desperately needs to develop a thicker skin, and catch up on what her parents failed to teach her. The world sucks right now, and it's only going to get worse for the next several years. It's going to be hard for a VERY LONG TIME, but Gen Z will eventually make it through and be stronger for it. Strong people create prosperous times. Prosperous times create weak people.

It sucks when you literally finish at 5 and the business you have to go to also closes at 5. So, now, you have to ask your employer to give you a dayoff so you could conduct your personal business-- which also takes out your own accrued PTOs or sick days. If you don't decide to take it out from your PTOs/ sick days, your paycheck will just look lesser at the end. That's why I rather work Tuesday to Friday and one of the days on weekend. So, on Mondays, I can take care my own personal business and on Saturdays, I can still attend events. Or I just work the night shift.

I work at a family business and there are some perks like theyre more likely to work with you. The pay isn't better really and there are boundary crossings.

[@Primallunacresenteclipse]

The 9-5 job should still give you benefits and great pay

[@Aerox90]

I normally work 8 am to 7 pm and sometimes even 8 am to 10 pm. And yes I do work 3 out of 4 weekends every month too on top of my regular week schedule. I do not feel good. Lol. But I earn pretty good money. I'm not so sure it's worth it though..

[@TheAliKoca]

I’m happy you are at least gettig paid decent

[@rochellethundercloud346]

I had a job offer in Detroit. I declined. Why? It's a four hour commute there,work eight hours, then another four hours commute home. That's 16 hours,seven days a week. No,thanks

[@heinrich.hitzinger]

Didn't Detroit collapse some time ago? 🤔

[@TheAliKoca]

That is absolutely not sustainable, you did the right thing by declining

I think her argument is fair. It must be hard that she needed to go so far to get to her work. I get it. It definitely is hard

[@RFMvids70]

Welcome to the real world. At least she's not working a 7pm to 3am job. #RFMvids

[@TheAliKoca]

I used to work an 8pm to 3am bartending job for 2 years in uni, it was the most fun job I ever had but it really messed up my hours for sure

[@RFMvids70]

@@TheAliKoca I loved the night shift unless my car broke down then it would easily turn into a fifteen hour day waiting on public transportation.

Welcome to the adult way of life girl, most of us have been through this shit. Many still are.

[@TheNonameHousehold]

I'm still in my childhood home and am currently in line to inherit the house, but in my free time I do a lot of calculations on things I could do to save more money than I would spend like a rain collector which would be a very smart purchase for my location, my place gets a lot of natural sunlight so electricity won't be a problem to pay especially when i'm planning to downsize too... If I play my cards right I'll be able to turn a part-time job's minimum wage into a livable wage 🤔💵🏡

[@grzegorzaugustyniak6405]

Kurva, yesterday I left home at 6.30 am and came back at 7 pm after 8 hours of work. I was freaking upset!

[@2010hyundaielantra]

I'm a 9-5 er. it sucks.

[@andersonhill3484]

Was pleasently surprised by this. Honestly thought this would just be some guy crapping all over a young lass for "being privalliged". Instead you were fair, used common sense and didn't judge. From my personal experience, having worked 5 jobs in the last 12 years, I think 9-5 is ironically the least social hours you can get for a job. I've always prefered jobs where you work all morning or all evening. I'd rather have a whole morning or afternoon/evening free thrn have only a small part of my morning/evening free. Sure, 9-5 might work for some, but we aren't all the same...would be a boring planet if we were...

[@rebeccacrone8864]

I'm sorry that these young people are having a tough time but does this generation think they are the only ones that have had to do this? I had to do this also. Maybe 9 to 5 used to pay the bills but I don't know of anyone that had that experience. I had to give up a lot to be where I am today.

[@clivemahony9827]

I get up at 6am travel 2hours to work work till 8pm get home at 10pm and I work 16hrs on a Friday into Saturday and back in Saturday night it sucks but has to be done here in Ireland it's the same in any country 😢

[@MalikWashington-o6y]

Ali! Americans live to work! Europeans work to live! Bottom line!

[@baltazarsal.d.a3925]

my father works like 12 hours a day and some how this mf be more happy then me Like bro How??

[@jianghutong]

i prefer working 9-5 just in order to keep my social relevance and good living habit. otherwise imma swap social media or play video games till 4am and wake up at 12

[@idosounds]

I think people are raising the price of living in a city but not the job pay which is causing all this. It’s the rich getting richer.

[@vextex9719]

I don't want to be that guy, but way too many people are too entitled and soft, people would kill for working at a 9 to 5 job on an office yet society as we know would fall if people stop working at oil rigs, construction and farming. I work at Amazon, it sucks? a little yes, does it pays the bills, sure as hell does and realistically speaking too much free time can only drive you mad just as it happened on quarantine. If doing actual work can scares you, remember that entrepreneurs work from the moment they wake up to the moment they sleep, either get some sort of degree and a work you like or just learn to deal with it. P.S: for most of my life I have been sort of "privileged" and did not had to do work until I was an adult, if I can somehow adapt to do the same work everyone does then there are no excuses other than being a wimp

[@TheGamingSparky05]

9-5 jobs aren’t that bad. I’ve been working them since I was 16. I think the difficulty of them depends on what you are doing. If you love your job or love what you do then a 9-5 isn’t that bad. I also like to add that I’m not much of a social person either. I don’t like to spend money as well. I just work…

[@DonkeyTate]

As a donkey with a KZbin Channel you are an inspiration brother.

[@JohnWilliams-jk2zf]

It’s such a shame how popular streamers say “oh 9-5 is not harder than streaming and 9-5 is easy” when most the streamers sit on there ass all day playing video game and reactions and most of the streamers who said that probably wouldn’t even last a minute.

I made sure to get a place that was a short distance away from where i worked since my job schedule can be at any time of the night and work up to 14 hrs in a day

I worked 9-5 at age 18 in the year 1998 and I had to suck it up and commute an hour to work and another hour back home
