Just give us more of the value for your one existence on earth, surely we'll be more generous and not take as much value as possible, like we've done at every previous opportunity. Just work harder slave...

When your in IT and they plain text their financials yeah no guilt here
Well, yeah if you're gonna grind hard do it for yourself. Do the bare minimum at work to get your paycheck then grind hard on a side gig where you get the profits.
I worked at one place working may ARSE off deploying a solution. Pulled all nighters regularly to get it done. I got a 20$ Xmas voucher to KMART. FUCKING KMART.
That was when I decided I’d work just enough to not get fired.
ugh
edit: I should note, it was a face food place (I was in IT), and they had a SHORT deadline, because they were selling the business and needed it brought into the 21st century. Before that, the stores were using a 25 year old BOH system.
And the remaining 30% are the boomers, that's why it isn't a 100% lol
Another thing to think about.
Back in 1960, when the minimum wage was $1.00/hour, two people could have dinner and drinks for $5.00.
Last time I ate in a restaurant, it was over $50.00 just for me.
So that would correspond to a min wage of $20 per hour, whereas people were bitching hard about my area going up to $15.
If wages kept up, I think a lot of things would be easier. As is, ya got too much greed up high.

The work environment, for the vast majority, in the USA simply sucks shit. It's basically, work until you croak.
So, 30% of people are basic fucking rubes.
And how many of us are working paycheck to paycheck still?
Wonder if that might correlate a tidbit.
Me and Marcus probably have very different lives, but that's basically the same exact thing that happened to me.
I read the Four Hour Work Week early on and it showed me the light. Working hard does not get you more money. You gotta work the system to get more money. It's about managing expectations and appearances. Now more so than ever.
