I worked in the same warehouse for over 24 yrs. Wasted years ill never get back. Nothing but highschool drama, and piss poor pay. Finally at 49 yrs old- i got my class A license. Now, my office is the inside of a truck. Just me and my music. No dirtbag coworkers, or shit managers to deal with. Wish id done it 20+ yrs ago. HIGHLY recommend

I'm a commercial locksmith in Dallas. I've worked for myself for 15 years. No employees no shop. I made 149,000 in 2022. I work an average of 45 hours a week. I learned long ago self-employment is quality of life. Don't get a worthless degree, go to a trade school.

Pro tip: Stop caring. Best decision of my life. Ive stopped giving a crap what anybody else, especially at work, thinks about me or anything else. Threaten to fire me, dont care, STFU and do it, dont tell me about it, do it or F off. Im here to do a job, not babysit all the adult children around me.

Freedom is the true wealth! You've got to make a few sacrifices to get it. Building yourself a financial foundation first makes it less stressful. I'm in my 50s and quit at 35 to follow my passion but I first grew my savings and portfolio to about 450k. My investments continued to increase and provide me with passive income till this day. While you still work HYSA and investing is a great tool

I stopped having casual or harmless conversations w/ people at work. It completely eliminates drama. DONT play where you get your pay. In this age you have to protect yourself. It's not personal it's professional.

Who wants to be a slave to a job! I don't think covid made people lazy, I think it made people realize what's most important in life!

I feel this! We quit the rat race, sold 95% of our belongings, bought a used RV and fixed it up, and we've been living on the road with less and happier than ever. We work for 6-7 months and then take a break the rest of the time. We travel and meet people and live life. The American Dream only works if you're asleep.

I quit my job in July 2020 and never looked back. It has been rough financially at times, but, I have peace of mind. The work environment became too toxic. A lot of gossiping and backstabbing.

And the ridiculous thing about it is that they expect maximum loyalty for minimum wage.

I am a registered nurse and all of this applies to me also . We get treated very poorly and they wonder why no one one wants to be a nurse

I’m totally agree with what you’re saying . I tolerated my job for 35 years and couldn’t wait to leave . I tried going back after 2yrs of retirement and got a quick lesson/reminder why I was happy to leave . It all is related to the ignorance , dis respect & back stabbing , make’s good people to not wanna be there .

Having a job I hate that I have to go to every damn day, makes my life absolutely not worth living whatsoever.

I worked 41 years for the same corporation and left at 61 years old , 10 months from being 62 years old because I had enough. I was penalized on my pension because I was not 62 years old . Because I did save those 41 years I was able to walk. Save while you’re working walk out when you’re ready .

An elderly employee I worked with died in the canteen, everyone thought he was sleeping. The paramedics came and took him away and the manager appointed someone else to do his job like nothing happened. That’s how replaceable you are

Why are all these people bad mouthing her? She worked for many years.... but with a plan in place to save enough so she could be independent and not have to work a dead end job until she keeled over from old age. That's called savvy!

I was an RN for 45 years. Got disrespected from all entities, patients, and even family. Now retired. This job taught me how to hate most people.

Employers pay you crap, treat you like crap, and steal all your time. It’s not a place for a person who truly has self respect. It doesn’t matter if you have a degree or not. Lower your expenses, start a business, live on your own terms and enjoy your time on this earth. If you must work for someone, choose part-time and use your time off to build your own business.

Minimum wage paying employers: "WAAAHHHHH. People don't want to work any more!" People: "No, people don't want to be abused and exploited any more."

Times are changing, the younger generation will no longer put up with it. There is no more loyalty.

RN here for 39 years. I absolutely agree with everything you say. I loved my job for many years, but at this point, I feel the same way you do.

Agree agree agree. No matter how hard you work, the effort you put into a job, going way above and beyond, it is not acknowledged, appreciated or rewarded. The companies don’t care. ZERO incentive.

I was a nurse for 20 years and the abuse I took was unbelievable and soul crushing. I had zero choice with 4 kids to feed and they knew it. I still have literal nightmares that I'm in the middle of a shift and wake up shaking in tears.

I've pretty much always been self employed. My ex-wife told me that I would never survive in the corporate world. She said because I have no filter, and would tell my boss to go f*** himself, I would get myself fired. I just don't tolerate bs.

Working retail for 10+ years nearly killed me. I've had stuff thrown at me, a co worker got spit on, death threats, curses & hexes put on my life for following store policy- some people were just pure evil. The managers were just as bad. I developed a phobia and won't step foot in any store. I get everything delivered now and cut grass for a living.

I am so glad I no longer work. I don't have as much income but the peace of mind is worth it.

Perfect example why everyone should aggressively pursue financial independence from first day of slave employment. My favorite video from PP to date 🙂

35 plus years working full time and my body literally shut down and there is no way I can go back to that life, my brain won’t let me because I know it will kill me, stress is the biggest killer out there. There is a limit as to what any human being can endure. Good for you for getting out and for the videos you make, I’m sure many people can relate.

Yes, yes, yes to all of it! I've worked in banking all of my adult life until 2020. My last six year position, I had to train new hires that came in making more than I did. The being treated like a child, the constant meetings and role playing. The public was a horror show. I had customers cuss me out and call me names regularly, throw things at me, steal things off my desk and try to physically attack me. They came in drunk and on drugs and were sexually explicit . There was a homeless person camped out in our restroom one day and my boss told me to go in there and get them out. Me, a five foot tall older lady! I'm self mercifully self employed now. Never, ever again. Ever.

We are not designed to work 9-5, 5 days a week. That leaves barely any time to actually live!! I work a zero hour contract job and live off grid, I’m broke but happier because I have time to do side hustles, sit and have deep creative thoughts, and stop to smell the roses. If a working week was 4 days a week, 6 hours a day I could hold down a full time job, but these days companies advertise for 9-6!! Where do they get off squeezing every last human battery hour out of us? It’s not worth it, just be less of a consumer and more in touch with nature and it’s a more positive existence. Unfortunately too many people are money oriented and like designer things that the system stays geared towards more work hours.

I’m a RN, quit 11/2021. No way am I wearing a mask, testing weekly or going along with a corrupted healthcare system. The jab is also out of the question. Stay out of debt & live skinny.

I’d rather stand in food bank lineups then ever work in these work places full of psychopaths. I’ve had lots of jobs that turned into nothing but disappointment usually due to being over qualified and surrounded by jealous weirdos…. Never again!

Gaslighting is alive and well in the workplace. I worked for a company for 25 years, then new management took over and my workload doubled. I said, 'I can't do this much work', they said, 'Yes, you can'. And that was their answer for everything - 'Yes, you can'. I only lasted a few more months and then I quit. I am much happier now.

I retired 2 months ago, a nurse, who made the most I ever have in my life. Not worth it. Screaming, cussing patients, who you're trying to help. I was planning on retiring in 5 years. Management also making life miserable with training demands in our off time. I had enough.

As someone who is in the 9-5 rat race, I can honestly say I am working harder than ever to get out of debt, stay out of debt, and become more self sufficient and self reliant. Retirement can't come soon enough! Thanks for your videos.

I got a job where I work on a remote mountain top in Colorado; rarely have to talk to anyone. I don’t hate people im just happier when I’m not around them.

I quit the job scene for good back in 2013. I live cheap but free and happy. My humble home is paid off and most of my food I grow, hunt or forage. I eat one healthy meal a day and can easily fast for days if need be. But I don't have to. I earn enough to get by and don't try to get more. For entertainment I read great books.

I'm am not sure how this video came into my feed but thank goodness. I no longer feel alone with not liking co workers, management or the crap jobs I've worked. Full time Proud professional mom.

As a manager at a grocery store a lady yelled at me at the top of her lungs for about 5 minutes It was Christmas Eve and she told me I ruined her family's Christmas because we didn't have shoe laces that were "the right length"...to the point we had to have security escort her out...she was definitely one of those 6 out of 100. Lol

People are disgusting. I would never work in customer service again. You're right, the company would never back up the employee. And a lot of young managers and supervisors have no people skills and they are on a power trip. Giving employees a hard time. So going to work is hell on earth. People are lucky that don't have to work, and have to deal with the general BS day after day.

I retired early at 60. I just could not stand it anymore. My pension is tiny but I don't care. I have everything that I need.

Sweetheart, I've been working for the Post Office for 22 years. Everything, you're said is true. I'm counting down now 2.9 months left. I want to buy a 50 plus acre farm and work for me. No neighbors. I've lost ALL faith in humanity. Blessings babe

I couldn't agree with you more! Just look how people behave on airplanes now! We've become an uncivilized America; no respect, lack of compassion/empathy/morals, a sense of entitlement. I retired early to get out of the rat race. Not the wisest decision financially, but the best decision for my mental & emotional health. I spend my days in nature with my beloved dogs. Rocky & Nala are so adorable. 😊

When I was in my early 30s (I'm now 71) I applied for a secretarial job. I didn't get it but they offered me a bookkeeping job. I told the interviewer that I had no bookkeeping experience but they still gave me the job anyway. The boss was a real control freak. I was very sick with the flu at one point and she told me if I didn't come to work I'd be fired. So I came in (I hoped I gave her the flu--not really, but it did cross my mind.) Later I got fired because I didn't know how to do bookkeeping! The gal who got the secretarial job had to lug her heavy computer home because they wanted her to work extra. She got fed up and quit. It was the dumbest job. It was at a company that sold financial computer programs but I had to enter items into a paper ledger book by hand--just like 100 years ago. I've had other jobs with nasty bosses, but my comment would be a zillion words long so I won't write about them.

I have worked in call centres and it is soul sucking. I have also worked as a professional accountant and have been fired because of a crazy screaming manager. I also worked as a temp worker in accounting, I realised that there are a lot of toxic workplaces and they will fire a person for anything. I would sometimes come in and take over a job the next day after a person was fired or got sick and learn the accounts within a week. That's how replaceable you are. There is no 'family' at work, no loyalty, but get you give your best hours and behaviour to your work and come home tired and cranky for your family. No, I will never work a 9-5 again.

Agree with you on all points!! I’m 53 and i retired from Federal Bureau of Prisons and you would think the inmates would be the cause of all the stress….. Nope! The amount of staff and administrators that did what they could to throw others “ under the bus” was unbelievable. You had to have 20 years in and be 50 years of age before you retire; and both hit at the same time for me and I was out of there. They had to hire 2 people to replace me by the way. Now I work part time in a school cafeteria… weekends, holidays, and summers off… yes please!

I'm quiet by nature and other employees think it's a right to bully you. When I fight back, I'm labeled "difficult to work with" and I'm tired of it. My work performance has never been in question. Happened in my last two places of employment and I'm sick of it.

I left corporate America 5 years ago because NOBODY WANTED TO WORK! I was in my mid 40s and so were all my coworkers. Most of the employees put more effort into pretending to work than doing actual work -- and I was the guy pulling the weight of 3 or more people, doing critical path worth, and threatened with weekend work -- since the stuff I was working on was the most critical. It was both high stress and disgusting at the same time. I was livid. I was making maybe 10-15% more than the slackers -- but it wasn't worth it. The boss wouldn't do anything about it. That job lasted nearly 8 years. The job before that was largely the same. I figured if I'm going to work my ass off, stress out, and have my health deteriorate, I might as well work for myself. I'll sleep on the streets, under bridges, and in the gutter before I go back.

The Problem: Managers and CEOs lack leadership skills. They think it's a waste of time to learn these valuable skills. So, as a result, here we are! I always said, "Hire Quality and treat your staff with respect and appreciation and they will work their guts out. So simple.

I quit the work force 8 years ago and became my own boss, going from$1500/ monthly to $8000 monthly. I was 57 and couldn't stand the nick picking, lies, backstabbing amongst coworkers, horrible bosses etc. Best decision I ever made. .

LOL, quit my job of 40 years, gave no notice, left company phone, key, etc on mgr desk, walked out at lunchtime and never went back...

Totally get it. Took early retirement 3 years ago after suffering a heart attack after years of client workload being piled on top of me, no support and constant travelling and nights away from home. Only given 4 weeks paid sick pay so had to go back to work before I was ready this resulted in a second heart episode and another hospital visit. Now much happier on a fraction of the income I was on and discovered what’s really important in life. It’s amazing how much you buy but don’t need when you’re working and when you sell it you don’t miss it one single bit! My advice pay of your mortgage and debts and you can be free!

Worked as an RN for 30+ years. In the beginning, it was about the patient, as it should be. As time grew, I could see the shift from patient centered care to staffing cuts-work harder with no raises, changing shifts affecting child care, forcing one to take positions that they don’t want or over qualified/ under qualified for, demeaning management, threatening, bullying, etc. I could go on and on! RNs have it hard!!!It’s stressful! Management sucks! Do more work with less staff and still get no patient complaints. ENOUGH! I quit! Nursing is not about patient care. It’s about the almighty dollar! ✅ DONE!

Completely agree, my daughter has been mistreated so many times at jobs she has had, it breaks my heart to see a young, eager persons spirit crushed by nasty people.

You can show up on time every day, go above & beyond, never call in sick only to be fired or let go for BS reasons. The only way to navigate this is to only put in very little effort and the work suffers as a result. I used to care but I stopped caring years ago

THANK YOU for calling it like it is! This is all 100 % accurate. It's all complete b.s. It's amazing what bosses and customers can get away with nowadays in terms of how they mistreat people.

It's really tough if you have kids. In the 70's some places even had on site daycare. Nobody cares anymore. Our kids suffer as well.

Every employee is a temp, they always have been.

Being a nurse during Covid and now and how horrible people act and treat nurses and the things that they expect done for them. I am so over working as a nurse or anywhere for that matter. I have no faith in humanity. I’m so sick of people add to that the opioid pandemic, it’s really really hard to work as a nurse. I don’t know if New York is worse than other states but here it sucks.

Your experience in the workplace is the #1 reason to live a frugal lifestyle! You have reached a point in your life where you can live YOUR WAY! Congratulations!

The best thing that ever happened to me was literally passing out and falling on my face and breaking my hands, I never have to work again as my country covers accident at 80% of my wages for 18months then I went on disability. It happened when I was 6 yrs off retirement, I was totally burnt out from my very toxic low paid work environment. By the time this happened my adrenal and immune system was shot, and it caused permanent heart problems, my chronic fatigue was so bad for years taking a shower was too exhausting so it was a bath and that would be all I could manage for that day. I have slowly gotten better and am know up to 60% of my old energy levels . Why am I telling you this, it's as a warning to others to get out before you become me.

I gave myself the best birthday present ever, when I turned 55: I quit my job. And I will never go back. All those points you made happened to me, too. I still get anxiety just thinking about it. Prepper Princess, I completely support your decision.

Amen sister! I spent 5 years working automobile collections, and then 2 years working in mortgage collections before I was able to DRAAAAGGGGGGGGGG myself out from that hole. I taught myself how to code on KZfaq and now have a tech job making far more money than I ever did in those industries, with freedom and flexibility. Last week I spent a week in Rio de Janeiro working remote during the week and exploring the city and laying on the beach on the weekend. I say this not to brag but to give people hope that there is a better life after quitting a customer-facing job!

A co worker had described it as "structured slavery" I totally agree...

I've noticed I am having a hard time holding my temper so I just avoid places. Eating out for fast food is a challenge cause no one speaks English so you never get what u order. For the price I want what I order. Then if someone is treating the employee bad I can't hold my tounge. It's better for me to stay home.

For ten years I was a car runner at a car dealership. I drove a new car to a dealership, and they gave me another new car to take back to the dealership I worked for. Best job ever!!! I could listen to anything I wanted to on the radio. I could stop to eat or go to the restroom anywhere I wanted, and I didn't have to listen to any bullcrap. I've always loved driving, so it was awesome getting paid to do what I loved doing. Everybody should have a job doing what they love to do. That place that demanded 3 minutes to take a crap must have a workplace full of stinky backsides. And they must never wash their hands.

I was an ER RN for 20 years and would go 4 years with no raises. Patients would knock me to the ground and strangle me 3 times and I was not allowed time off to recuperate.

Been fucked over in just about every job taken advantage of used up , underpaid , not treated with respect not taken seriously now im unemployed. Will be very careful in choosing my next job.

My husband worked for AT&T for almost 20 years they squeezed him out right before his 20th year so they wouldn’t have to pay his health care for life. He was such a hard worker and so loyal he said it was like another death his dad passed away right before that. We have been married 40 years. He is a Veteran. He now is blessed to work from home with Cigna for our benefits. He makes half his salary but we are debt free and own our home and I get my SS . He has 3 more years till Medicare kicks in.

So glad I stumbled on this because I have wondered what is wrong with ME for years. I hated the toxic workplace! My second to last job (there for 15 yrs.) and the last 3 years were HELL under a bullying/micro-managing manager that would not leave me alone. I stayed too long, just walked out one morning after one more stint of her bullshit but I got myself so sick I had to take a year and a half off , sell my little house in a down market and find a rental. I am a 68 yr. old widow and only have government pension but I don't care if I have to sleep in my car , I will never join the workplace again, life is too short and its real nice to finally not have to wake up to an alarm clock. All the best from Canada

I am 41 and I quit my career of 17 years in corporate finance last year. I've never worked in a call center, but working in the corporate world, as glamorous and snazzy as it sounds and looks, is like being in high school, really! You have the whining princesses, you have the lazy ones who do nothing but always seem to get away with everything, you have the boss's pet who gets the best projects and then gets promoted, you get the honest workers who everyone steps on, you get the backstabbers, the perverts and the psychopaths. Nobody is really safe from anyone else. The work, although physically safe, is soul-less and mind-numbing, you are literally a slave chained to your desk, and you are supposed to be happy that you have a job and be thankful for the slavery. True story: I worked at one point at the world's biggest commercial property management company, and every quarter we would get these emails about how well the company is doing, is expanding, is making record profits, winning contracts, etc, etc, so when it came time for the performance review at the end of the year and I asked for a raise, I was told that employee raises 'were not in the budget'. And this happened when I KNEW that management were getting bonuses for the great work that the EMPLOYEES were doing! This is the mildest of all the stories I could tell you about working in the corporate world. First class, modern slavery.

No loyalty no more. These companies look at everybody as expendable. It's so sad.

Love what you said about Thanksgiving. That's why I will never shop on that day. People shouldn't be forced to work that day when it's non-essential. Seriously, there's nothing I need a Khol's on Thanksgiving Day. This is why I applaud Hobby Lobby for being closed on Sundays.

I'm totally with you! Worked for a company for 22 years and was replaced by a temp worker. Currently enjoying walking dogs and boarding dogs at my home. Making less, but no assholes to report to and no more putting up with long hours and being enclosed in a cubicle all day. Great video!!

I once worked at a call center that timed bathroom breaks. You were given exactly one minute to do your business and get back on the lines or else. It also taught me to run from companies that have a "destress room" or a meditation room of sorts. It means the job is insanely difficult and many times I have watched coworkers use these rooms as a private place to bawl their eyes out.

I have been retired from my working life for 15 years now and what you are running out was going on then as well. It is when they introducted mirco management and the HR component that the work place went off the rails. I am so glad I am no longer working for someone else now.

Most employers wouldn't know a great employee if it hit them on the ass with a board. I decided long ago that I would never continue working for any employer that didn't respect me.

I didn’t get a promotion because I don’t allow people to mistreat me. The one who kissed a$$ was promoted. It’s disgusting but I’d rather make less money that put up with rude, patronizing, condescending attitude. I’m working on my way out.

I needed a day off once and the person that was supposed to cover for me didn't show up, so I got fired. I found out later it was just a plan to get rid of me .

I have been living in the USA since 2001. Came from a hispanic country where employees used to be polite to each other. It took me 6 months and two different companies to understand that working to corporate America is not a good place to be. I have been self-employed since.

Yes, 2 days from now I will leave my ultra stressful job and if that means going to live back with my mom at 52 years old, so be it! Life is too short to be so unbalanced that it effects your breathing. Great video and at the exact right time!!!

I’m only 35, started first job after school at 14 then worked 2 jobs for 15 years, haven’t returned to work since I was fired from both jobs during the pandemic. have done a few short contract placements. Now moved states, purchased our off grid home without a mortgage, live debt free and can’t see me returning to 2 jobs or even one beyond something that truly interest me. I understand the customer frustration as well, too many businesses over promise and under deliver.

I worked for a TV news station for 8 years and when the pandemic hit, I quit my job. The straw that broke the camels back was when the CEO mentioned in a meeting that he thought about paying off everyone's vacation time but instead decided to have us use it instead. I was furious because there wasn't enough workers that could fill in for vacations, they forced half the workforce to stay at home, there was no way in hell we were going to use our vacation time that year, it was use it or lose it, that was about 2 months into the pandemic with no end in sight. The BLM riots happened and it was like Covid-19 disappeared. The media was calling Conservative protests super spreaders a few weeks prior to the BLM riots, it was so stupid and so destructive, I have no freaking clue why the media sided with the violence it was sickening. The damage was really bad, people's life's were destroyed and the media flamed the hatred, there were days where I almost walked out of the control room, I could barely direct the newscast, it was soul crushing how the media handled that. There are very evil people working in the media, I remember when Trump killed that Iranian leader, the newsroom got all excited over the possibility of WWIII. Producers had gigantic smiles at the possibility that we were going to die in war.

I was a Dental-Lab technician for many years. Talk about "Karens"!! My co-workers(most) were terrible. It was like being in High School all over again. I work for myself now. I'm the only one that can piss me off now. Much better. Remember... NO ONE that you work with is really your friend. Back-stabbing around every corner and cubicle!!

Yes, quit shopping on holidays! When I was a kid in 1970's everything was closed on holidays. We need to get back to that.

I make a point to be extra kind when I'm out and about as this world is becoming more unkind and cold.

Really sad that many of us really only realize this after it’s almost (too late) I’m 66yrs old my bones all hurt because I’ve work so hard trying to have enough money (when I’m older)FORGET IT, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!… now I’m trying to find a little place out in Nature to live among the Trees and hope I’ll be happy ❤❤

This girl is so bang on with everything. Workplaces are toxic

People have gotten worse to the point where I’d rather live in a tent then have this life. Or rather live out of my vehicle…

I'm a supply teacher (substitute) in the UK and I have complete control over where, when and if I choose to work. I will never be a full-time teacher again as it is simply modern day slavery. Parents are entitled, children are poorly behaved and the system is toxic unless you are in control of the work. If I encounter any kind of unreasonable behaviour from the adults or pupils in a school, I simply walk away there and then. Thanks for the video.

My advice to my kids and everyone, be self employed. Learn a trade and start your own business. Plumbers, electricians, mechanics, even carpenters. they’re all needed and in my area there’s a shortage of all these positions. I’m a self employed land surveyor and I’ll never work for anyone again. Work out of my house, no commute, and work as much or as little as I want. Take vacation when I want. The only downside to it is you have no pension, paid retirement program, or paid insurance. But it’s still the way to go as most companies now don’t offer pensions and more and more are cutting insurance benefits.

I couldn't agree more. Toxicity in the workplace has become the new pandemic. Coworkers get so butthurt if you arent willing to divulge your entire life story and be their best friend in 5 minutes from the moment they meet you. 🤣🤣🤣 If you want to keep your professional life and your personal life separate you're immediately labeled as unfriendly and get prepared to be blackmailed.

Companies want to pay peanuts, but want someone who's putting in long hours & living work. The owners & shareholders make the money, whilst the employees earn junk. And they'll replace you in a millisecond without batting an eyelid. That's why I'm no longer about loyalty or hard work

I am now retired after working multiple jobs. I’ve realized I can’t fix such huge problems but I can refuse to be part of the problem. I treat everyone nicely. It’s what I can do.

I AM LITERALLY SHOUTING YESSSSS!!!! OMG!!!! I WILL NEVER!!! THAT IS PART OF THE REASON I QUIT MY JOB, PACKED UP FROM ARIZONA AND MOVED TO AFRICA!!!! NOW I HAVE PEACE!!!

My Dad worked long enough for CESSNA AIRCRAFT IN WICHITA, KANSAS...to retire...or so He thought. Cessna told him he was eligible for retirement, so Dad filed the paperwork. When Dad went back to finalize the paperwork for retirement health insurance, Cessna told Dad that he was EIGHT HOURS SHORT for retirement. They would NOT allow him to use sick time to make up the 8hours, nor would Cessna allow him to work ONE MORE SHIFT. MY DAD LOST HIS RETIREMENT MONEY, AND HAD TO GO BACK TO WORK AGAIN. This was the first time I ever saw my Dad weep.

My boss a b-ch. Nurse here working in hospital 27 years. When I’ve had a doctor appointment. I get. “We’ll see” before the 2 week request. I am going to retire (Sorry public, maybe your doctor know how to bed pan in hospital). No respect from patient or their families. Maybe some side job. No living by my manager quirk anymore. I don’t expect pay without hard work. But I do expect some respect for the seasoned professional I have always been. Putting my job first before my family or my own health. All I can say is start saving as young as possible and learn to live within you means. Puppy love❤❤❤

I worked at a manufacturing plant for 27 years. Beginning as summer help, worked in almost every department, plant training supervisor and ended in corporate training. I would like to add a few more things to your list. 1. Manager took all stools out because the workers were lazy. 2. There were 2 machines that parts were processed on, back to back. 1 person for each machine. I suggested that the 2 machines be hooked together. They said it couldn’t be done. 6 months later an engineer got a bonus for designing it. 3. There were 4 areas in the section where I worked. The other shifts had one person for each section, on my shift I always ran 2 sections. I asked why no raise. They said because I was “happier“ running 2 sections. 4. My pension was stolen by corporate raiders who were actually top management of the company who bought it. Thank you Prepper Princess for letting me vent. I have watched you since before you left CA and enjoy your videos. ❤

Companies ditching their pension plans and also willing to lay off/eliminate employees at the "drop of a hat" is prima facie evidence that workplace loyalty is dead. They expect 1-way loyalty: the employee MUST be loyal to the employer, with no reciprocation.

Here in Canada. Walked off my last job for things like that. Totally get what you are saying. I am dedicated worker and it just is so sad to be treated these ways.

What I’ve learned over my many years working in corporate offices is that most people in managerial positions are totally incompetent. They’re literally “winging it” until they’re fired but then they just move on to the next higher-paying job doing the exact same thing. They’re gifted at schmoozing and kissing corporate ass but when it comes to doing actual work: zilch.
