Author Explains Why So Many Young People Resign From Their Jobs And His Twitter Thread Goes Viral

Yes I agree. Also the rich would never see them selves working at McDonald's or Walmart or any other job in service

While sipping the booze also declare "I don't buy 4$ coffee! I save and invest!"

I hate to have to agree with you, but not doing so would be dishonest to a degree making me physically sick. It's worse enough in europe these days ... but I wouldn't even wanna be better off then I am now in the US! "The american dream is called so because ... you have to be asleep to believe it!" (George Carlin). He was right about this, and I bet he hated being so.

I recently read that an astonishing proportion of CEOs are on anti-depressants. Think of what's really going on: their bodies are telling them their work habits are unnatural, and they are jamming pennies in the fuse boxes to keep going. Survival means the working class isn't driven by anti-depressants (even if they need them too for various reasons -- I don't mean to join in the chorus of idiots who think attack anti-depressant usage).

They call the poor lazy while they sip wine on their boast and planes...playing rounds of golf and going on 4 week vacations to exotic places never worried about whether or not they will have a job to come back to. Gee...guess those poor people that are putting up with all the Karen's and getting spat on by anti-maskers just have it too damn good. (Sarcasm)

The U.S. us the wealthiest, most powerful nation. American citizens shouldn't be struggling when billionaires can afford to have a space race.

Historical "working class" people had a much better quality of life than people think. It is propaganda that tells us that "things used to be worse". The average American worker takes less vacation time than a medieval peasant

I'd like to offer an observation that I find interesting. I come from a poor southeast Asian country. Very big economic inequality, many policies ripping off the poor and middle class alike, welfare almost non-existent, and employers are free to exploit as they please. However, life in my small home town somehow remains far from that extreme. People wake up, spend like 30mins - 1 hour on coffee and breakfast, go to work, go home at lunch time to cook and eat and probably nap, come back to work, get off work at 5pm, pick up the kids, go home to cook and eat dinner or conveniently go to an affordable restaurant, then watch some TV or read a book or meet some friends before retreating to bed. A working class (except the ones in extreme poverty who are still a minority) or lower middle class person or family can live like this. Some have left for the American dream and swiftly came back because even though the dollars are a fortune when sent home, they just couldn't bear the pressure in the US. More and more people are realizing that despite everything, working just for survival is way too miserable compared to the humble life in my hometown. Large cities are a completely different story though.

You are absolutely correct, and it's getting worse, not better.

Restructuring is code for The company needs to pay the shareholders more so they are going to cut the people who have a salary over minimum wage.

management does not seem to recognize the value of a good employee.
