The fucking entitlement of some people. It boils my piss that people my age are trying to do the same sort of gaslighting to young people as others did to my generation.
Young people, please don’t fall for it. They’re just trying to get you to be a good little workhorse. My peers fell for it and they’re all burnt out tired husks now.
My skin crawls whenever I hear people my age talk about “Lazy young workers.” As if ten years ago people weren’t saying the same shit about us. Maybe your spirit got broken and now you want to break the spirit of the next lot, I don’t know. Whatever it is it annoys me.
The funny thing is, the kinds of assholes that complain about “lazy entitled sensitive workers not getting shit done” are usually the ones making the workplace less productive imo. They make everyone miserable because they turn the place into a panopticon of “am I working hard enough?” And if you joke or show any kind of joy at work you’re not working hard enough so the workplace becomes depressing.
I hate generational warfare, I hate protestant work ethic, so mix the two and I become rage incarnate.
The worst part is when you get a young “pick me” who is like “I’M NOT SENSITIVE LIKE THE REST OF MY GENERATION I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT WE ARE LAZY.” It’s fucking sad.
EDIT: AND ANOTHER THING! It’s fucking ableist too! No Darren, the kid isn’t too sensitive, he has fucking PTSD.
Theyre right. about me st least.
I dont wanna fucking work anymore. Im fkn tired. My back and knees hurt from crawling thru tunnels to fix broken pvc and cut out 75 year old cast iron. My hands hurt. My feet hurt from constant 14 hour shifts.
Im wrecking my body and the last bit of good health i have left so rich assholes can have swimming pools, and bedroom sized showers that use 5-10 times the EPA’s water usage guidelines because fuck everyone else.
Im tired boss, or whatever the meme is.
This. It fucking pisses me off how it’s never enough.
most of the time for me its white artificially lit office, with chud coworkers and early 20s boomers. doing completely meaningless tasks. i mean completely drop dead meaningless, nothing of even slight tiny value for anyone but boss’ bank account.
for the entire fucking day, five to six days a week. no real retirement. we have marvels of nature and technology and an entire planet to explore but noooo. its wasting youth stuck in a packed bus in traffic for me and every angry sad and tired driver around me.
its watching the sun set through the blinders on the (barred) tiny window in the corner of the room and getting home at night so i can get the pretty little dress shirt ready for tomorrow.
working from home is more tolerable, but they hate it now for some random flimsy reason. theyd rather make us suffer.
all of that for shit we don’t even need. food grows on the fucking floor how did we fuck things up so badly.
i just hate being alive. the only reason i havent jumped face first into the concrete below yet is because i hate capitalism even more. i want to live to see it die.
