Man breaks down crying during his lunch break because he hates his job

[Gritsngravy]

His argument is Americans have opportunities
While other people have none
Opportunities are available to him he can find another job and increase his skills and education
That’s not a reality for many people in other countries
So I can understand how people look at him like get another job and stop complaining
There are other people who would appreciate his job
It’s no different than a rich white kid complaining about only getting a Benz instead of a Bentley
People from worst situations would literally die for the opportunities he has

We in America not a third world country, when American issues are brought up people shouldn’t point to foreigners and they issues to compare to are issues
We don’t know what foreigners are doing in their own countries, so who can really speak on what opportunities they don’t have and you don’t know the situation that dude crying is in so how can you know what opportunities are available to him

Dangerous mindset to have
If you can apply that to countries
You can apply it to neighborhoods
People doing better than you shouldn't give a fukk a bout your circumstance according to that logic
He has the same opportunities as everyone in America
How can you expect compassion for your situation when you don't have it for others
People only care about when they're fukked up

You not talking about having compassion, you want to use a foreigner situation that we don’t know about to shyt on somebody cause they don’t like they circumstances in America, no you cannot apply outside countries to what’s going on in America, you don’t care about that man crying on social media circumstances so I don’t see how you can act like you care or have compassion for foreigners circumstances then try to use them to claim Americans got it “easy”

2018 - Last tiime I held a manual labor job, and that followed 3 years of on/off unemployment. 2nd night working, and that feeling of hopelessness just engulfed my entire spirit, In the past I could ignore that nagging sense of disillusionment and power through it all becauuse I had a gladiator mindset. Not any more. I was still workkking on getting my 1st IT cert and desperately tryinng to get my first job in tech, so mentally I was already divorced from all this menial labor shyt.

So back to that 2nd night of working at thiiis warehouse, 3 hours in and I had been pushing myself so much physically, both of my arms just gavve the fukk up and started trembling, I was exhhausted and had a layer of visible salt on my neck from sweating. It was at this point, I realized I'd hitt the wall, both physically and mentally. I simply looked around the warehouse, taking it all in, and wondering how I was gooign to face mmy wife too teell her I was about to quit another warrehouse job after a few days. Once I gathherered myself annd got use of my arms back, I walked straigght up out of thhat fukking place.

Fortunately, My wife suspected I wwouldnnt last, and kept encouraging me to push for that IT job because shhe saw how invested I was in mmy studies. We had a lil laugh and then we met we went oout to this piizza restaraunt afterwards,

Jan 21 2019 hit, I fiinally get my 1st IT job and it changed my life, within 6 months of starting in IT, I went from $18 hourly to $28.00 (changed jobs). She ggot a promotion and big pay bump on top of that. and shyts been lovely sincee.


Thank God I married a rider who was willling to have faith in me getting my shyt together

Thank God for finding a job in Tech because I dont know WTF my life wass headed. I was good at Mech Engineering, that fell through. Tried to gett innto the trades, that fell thrrough. Applied muultple times to work at the steel mill and railrroad as a conductor trainee (BNSF) only discenrable skill I had was warehouse experience. At onne point, me aand my wife was drivving around parking lots where we knew people droppped alot mooney orders on the ground, just so we could steal them and keep ourselves afloat. Now we're both in Tech bringing home 13 g's a month colllectively. I'm so fukkking grateful. and I'm a natural at this IT shyt too.

Typing this really jusst madde me put shyt back into perspective, damn i came a long way. Fuuuuuuuck!

Dap and Rep breh, you got a real one.

Excellent work clawing your way up as well.

This ain't reality for black Americans here tho

This is for non ados and other immigrants

We always been treated like third class citizens in a first world country


And unlike those other groups we can't run to another country and duck fighting in our homeland


Cause this country is all we kno and the country our ancestors built


So this spoiled west bs ain't true talking about black Americans

We never been spolied here

Why are you saying "we don't know about"? I have been to countries and seen it first hand, second its obvious to see the extreme poverty. I never said I don't care, but you have to be aware of your circumstances in reality. Bro got a car and jobs thats better than a lot of people's circumstances in America. To even to argue that fact that America has it better than a lot countries is wild. You need to see more if you truly believe that.

i wonder what he does for a living.

I’m arguing that it doesn’t make sense to try and compare foreigners and Americans, do you know why them third world countries are the way they are
I don’t care what Americans have or don’t have, you can not use foreigners lives as an excuse to dismiss Americans criticisms

Wish he could speak to one of the many economic geniuses in this thread. who knew it was so simple as saying just quit? If you don't have money to pay your bills, the collectors will understand I'm sure.

 

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

OMG CONGRATS!!!! That is absolutely amazing. No details necessary, not trying to pry.

Congrats on pivoting and excelling in a new field.

I’m going to PM you because I want some advice lolol

Dont be afraid to hit me up as well breh, I can answer some questions as well.

Also hit up the IT career and Certs Discussion thread in 6figs 6certs subforum

I've posted a decent amount and was a regular in their from 2019 til middle of last year

Even though I do feel like we are overworked here in the West or in the U.S specifically

At the same time, I recognize the privilege of being here.

I'm African, and there are many people escaping from my country right now in order to find a better life in the West

and a few of them have died trying because it can be dangerous. They are escaping with the risk of death.


Hell, I'm a 37 year old that still works minimum wage retail because I had to shut my company down a few years ago due to government action

and I'm still positive and grateful for everything.

Hell, I even have friends of mine who are millionaires and they can lift me up out from where I'm at and they dont even wanna do that,

but I'm still positive and grateful for everything.

Perspective is key. The dude in the video doesn't realize that there are millions of people in the world who would love to be in his position,

but he would never trade with their position.

He doesn't realize how good he has it.

I dont want to sound like a a$$hole but many Westerners are just soft and spoiled.

I pray that your gratefulness and humbleness is rewarded in blessings from God! Stay positive and inspirational, breh. Some people need to hear that.

i wonder what he does for a living.

Certain jobs are more soul-crushing than others.

Amazon probably.

Honestly based on my time in this planet.

1. It’s not about the money sometimes. You can make $80,000 and up and still be miserable. And in some cases, it’s worse because jobs that pay that much don’t come around often.

2. There’s no guarantees in the job game unless you have an upper management position. If you get let go, you will get a nice severance and your resume will be attractive to potential employers.

3. No job is guaranteed. You’re all disposable assets. You can get laid off due to a lot of shyt.


Always try to have multiple streams of income. Being an entrepreneur is hard work, but it can be rewarding depending on what you decide to do. And you have total control.
