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

[Hazel Brown]

I decided a long time ago that I'm going to do what I want to do in this life. I never fell for the whole "I'm hard working and honorable" bullshyt lol. It pays to think for yourself. Work smart, be frugal, and get established before having kids. Everyone spends money on shyt that they don't need, paying down someone else's mortgage, and end up like this guy; burnt out and miserable. Black people especially have to be very careful about how they approach life, because this system is set up to hold us back. I worked at a factory when I was 18. One day, I saw a woman, maybe in her late 30s, crying and being consoled in the lunchroom. I had the distinct feeling that she was crying because she hated working there. I went to college shortly after that experience.

I've also decided that I'm not going to give my hard earned money away to a landlord. People are ashamed to live with family and save money, so they end up like the guy in the op, At work all day living paycheck to paycheck, all so you could impress some broke down ass woman. Some of y'all got trapped. "I do it for my family" Man, you should've gotten established first. Better yet, don't have kids. Now you don't have any breathing room to get the job you want. Employers with horrible jobs love you guys. Don't ignore the torture right in front of your face and think it's normal because everyone's doing it. These people made all sorts of bad decisions and are now forced to work for pennies in horrible conditons with no end in sight.

Black people need to stop leaving home on a bad foundation. Live with family, take a loong time to figure out what you can do that isn't torturous, stack, buy property, and work on your own terms.

So many gems being spat in this thread, I love it.

That is why I took my ass to school. I KNEW EARLY what it was working retail.

Get a degree or trade or certificate and get a job that you’ll like. I know it’s easier said than done but you have to put in the work. You’re in control of your own life. No one is going to save you.

A lot of people do not have parents, and/or are living with multiple roommates, trying to save money. And as collective, this isn't something resulting from bad decision making, this is a systemic issue.

He needs to use this energy to make a change….. His feelings are valid, but this is the reality of this rotten little planet we call a home… so make the best of it…

 

[Diyhai]

You can’t compare the two

in your opinion why not

 

[Sad Bunny]

Most people have families to feed, so they're stuck at these dead end jobs

No kids gang

 

[SNG]

The thing is no one needs to live with this. It’s just that people need to really find themselves and find out what they do best in life and a lot times they know what it is but they fail in actually pursing it.

wouldn't say it systemic
but some people are dealt a bad hand in life
Opportunities exists for people but everyone isn't aware of them
You can't make someone improve their skills/ education or want more for themselves

No kids gang

I don’t know why he’s crying just quit. If you’re ever in a position where you’re crying because you have to go to work then just bounce homie because you only have one life.

People are waking up and seeing
that they are only drones in a hive
of decaying nothingness.
America is a failed business....
It's only God,guns,government,racisim
and capitalisim feeding the machine.
