She’s explaining a cushy job with a quick commute. Try working one job 4am to 9am, then off to the full time job 9-5, then night school as well as running rental properties. Not to mention working a farm. Wake at 4am, coffee, Milk and feed the ladies at 4:30am Then a full day in the fields and another milking session as a night cap. Dinner, then a couple hours and bed at 8:30. Though rainy days there is some downtime  If nothing needs fixing. Anyhow, she’s on the rag and super emotional. | |||

Remember during the time the Dems were pushing for passage of the ACA all of the young people saying that if they weren’t constrained by having to pay for health care to think of all the contributions to the creative art world they would make? All the future Mozart’s, Renoir’s, Da Vince’s, Cezanne’s just waiting to bloom? Only once in my full time work years between 1970 to 2017 did I ever have an eight hour day job and that only lasted seven months. Ten to thirteen was more the norm. Then add in the years from 99 to mid 17 that I worked at least weekends and some evenings at a second job. Add to that for three years when we were out west 50+ miles each way commute. Left home about 7:30, home around 7:30 with a briefcase of paperwork, I was a working department manager and in addition to those duties I handled the retail counter and outside wholesale repair shop business, my day was busy together with my three employees. When we first moved back here in 88 for two years I worked three jobs, M-F full time, Saturdays and Sundays doing auto dealership parts department inventories and between all that a paid on call Firefighter when I was home. Still working in retirement, 2-3 days a week down to about twenty hours or so a week. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

Yep, and, many times the SM stuff you see is contrived, it's there to get hits, and they know that posting things like this gets them paid since it will get passed around. Some are good at it and some are not. If it's real she's certainly got the wake up call, just handled it badly... Wasn't this a similar show on Dr. Phil with a young girl complaining she needed a bigger monthly allowance in the thousands, and not wanting to work, then he and the mother tells her she needs a job and the tears start. Shes a Beverly Hills kid, the environment those kids are in is a different world, somewhat similar to the idiot Jewish Son of a business owner who was floundering until dad gave him a job he pissed away tearing down posters in NY of captured kids... | |||

thanks for the Tennessee Ernie and Merle video... I left the bitching girl one alone... Speaking of '16 tons'. .... I know it's not the same but when I was in high school back in the early 70's... just about everyone of us got a job packing peaches, always heard Edgefield County s.C shipped more peaches than the whole state of Georgia... Anyway, for three summers my job was loading the big rig trailers.. often 18 hours a day... I once figured out I averaged about 60 tons a day. $1.65 an hour....

A much needed early dose of reality therapy. Now put your damn phone away and get back to work, unless you're ready for the second dose (unemployment), or the third dose (back to Mom's basement). That second job will be even harder to get without a positive reference from the first employer. Retired holster maker. Retired police chief.

Well she is like having her period so like it's fine. "Do not approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction." John Deacon, Author I asked myself if I was crazy, and we all said no. | |||

This was in an article about a local chef who was interviewed by Philadelphia Magazine recently and she went off on the new work ethic in it:

I was the seventh person in the one checkout line (all with full carts) that was open at Kroger yesterday. There were no baggers. I asked the cashier why there weren't more lines open. She said nobody wanted to come in. I didn't ask why. | |||

You would have us believe that because of this truism, you are completely blind to what is going on with people this girl's age, and the damage to society that the coddling of these children has inflicted and will continue to inflict. It seems to be awfully important to you to maintain a contrary attitude, no matter what. | |||

You are really pathetic to rely on social media to display your self-absorption, ignorance and plea for acceptance. | |||

That she commutes 3 hours a day, would be annoying. I get irritated commuting 40 min-1 hour a day. And that was in a car, on a fairly lightly trafficked road. | |||

Another side comes to mind when I saw the video. The message in school was to study hard, get good grades, and you'll be rewarded. In college it was similar. Work hard, put in extra effort, get to work early, stay late, and leaders will notice and reward you. That turned out to be mostly wrong. What mattered was mostly who you knew and how your friends viewed you. Basically, social skill trump technical skills. Work hard, do extra hours, tolerate a crazy long commute? Miss events for your kids due to working late? Your reward when the company is sold is NOTHING. To the company you are a commodity to be used or used up as they wish. That's it. So, if one has a long commute and is exhausted when they get home, it's time to think about a new job and maybe a new city or home. Work to live, don't live to work. Less pay in a smaller city with little commute can mean better life. There's a lot of 'it depends' in all this, but that's one perspective. | |||

Recently had a staff member at one of my offices ask to change their start time from 8 to 8:15 because they could not get to work by 8. They do not have children or other needs to care for others, etc., and as we start seeing patients at 8 I suggested they leave home earlier so that they get to work by 8. They asked - I kid you not - why they should have to leave work earlier to be at work on time. They just expected me to adjust their work schedule to accommodate them.  Icarus flew too close to the sun, but at least he flew. | |||

You know what? I had the same sense when I was young. Ultimately, no employer valued my time as much as I did. So, I went into business for myself. Know how that went? I starved. I slaved. I sacrificed. I learned. Until one day my investment paid off. I’ve got news for her. No one lets you make real money until you’re 40+. Here’s another doosey: a humble, grateful and hungry attitude will get you successful far faster than an impatient, entitled one. And the cherry on top is: stay out of debt. Drive junker cars, live cheap. Buy clothing from Goodwill. Work, save, invest. One day she’ll wake up like the rest of us battle-scarred, aging producers and find she has assembled her fortune. Then some undeserving punk will want to have it taxed away for some social justice cause. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

She doesn’t realize her dad has probably been doing it for 30+ years. Also how doesn’t a young person have enough energy to do anything. When I was starting out I worked 60 hours a week and had a very active social life. | |||

You sound kind of bitter to be honest, did this happen to you? | |||

Yes, but this seems to be a common story with IT workers. I learned to judge work cultures and people much more carefully. | |||
