Absolutely. And that is why career advancement is virtually impossible. “Be nice, work hard, keep your thoughts to yourself, and never be seen as insubordinate and you’ll do fine.”…. Yeah, RIGHT! Do all those things and you’ll always be a slave and your entire life will pass you by while you remain unsatisfied and never reach your true potential. We were born to fulfill our purpose, and working for someone else, jumping through their hoops, and and punching their time clocks will steal your essence and suck your soul away while they sit back and laugh living the life that you can never afford, and use you for everything you’re worth. Wage slavery is REAL. Even the indentured servants of the past had a better life than what we are allowed to have today. This is the beast system…it is all around us…and the walls are closing-in… Get out while their is still breath in your lungs and strength in your bones!! Seek Truth. YaHUSHA is The Way, The Truth and The Life. 🙌HalleluYaH!🙌

True, I only consider them friends if we no longer work together and we still regulary talk. You can met good and nice people at work, but it doesn't mean you can start discussing innapropriate stuff (discussing colleagues in a not nice way, sharing work details they are not suppose to know, sharing sensitive information for example your health and family struggles, your wild stories, the sad thing that these people can share it with some other colleagues. I heard this stories many times.) You can have fun at work, share laugh, spend time with coworkers you like, but be proffessional at the same time. These things have time and place to share work and collegues are not it

If you "dont want to get involved" just like prison, you dont have a choice. You already are. Staying nuetral and wanting to just do your job and stay out of the fray makes you just as much of a target as if you joined in in the gossip mill. Next thing you know? you['re on somebody's sh-t list because the pepetrator started a rumor saying you said something you didnt. They'll see to it your job is even more miserable....its like this is what gives their life meaning and purpose. Its totally f'd up. The job being soul crushing and unfufilling is bad enough....couple that in with this and no wonder everybody hates their job.

It's exactly this theory that working hard isn't good that is contributing to the degradation of our current society. Not everyone has the skills to make it in their own business. The best thing you can do, is what you do best, as you are more likely to enjoy your work and then enjoy your life. The alternative of not working will undoubtedly culminate in your lack of respect for yourself and if everyone did the same, then where would you get your food from? How would you cook it if there's no one to keep the gas and electric running? Then, if you say some people should work to keep essential services running, how is that fair? You need to think your point through to its logical conclusion and stop killing your own spirit. If you don't like your job, educate yourself in the skills you need to do a job you will enjoy. That's how you will find fulfillment, not by working less. Think about it. No, I mean REALLY think about it. Thank me later. 🙏🏻

They see you as simply pandering for sympathy to get special treatment. You probably came to them only after a trend of decreasing performance long before you considered telling them. I don't know that person so I can't speak for their empathy specifically, but most bosses (even the good ones) would be annoyed if you weren't honest up front the moment it became an issue because it shows little respect for their time as well as your own. Some may have more empathy than others, but from my experience if they even have a shred of decency, simply coming to them when a problem first starts affecting your work will typically be the quickest way to get on their good side. You don't even need to be specific about what the issue is, just how it might affect your work and what it generally falls under (family, pregnancy, change of housing, medical, etc).

All He ended up with was a tiny semi detached house on a mediocre housing estate. We had no car, no home phone and only a couple of short holidays when I was growing up. He had to work overtime just to buy a colour tv. I spent most of my so called working life on the dole, and managed to buy a colour tv, mobile phone and freeview recorder out of my benefits. The work ethic is a con.

Work ethic has been turned into a con by companies taking more and more advantage of their employees over time, never stopping. Work ethic SHOULD yield more money and promotions. However the system is corrupted to hell and back. The people at the top get selfish, claim what the people 'under' them did for themselves. Bring in their own friends / family into positions that others are more qualified for (nepotism). Then add the government trying to make people lazy and incapable by handing them free money (also used to slowly drop the worth of our money to ultimately destroy the country along with throwing trillions to fake wars). Why work and have integrity when you can be a bum and live off the evil governments hand-outs? That way the evil government gets bigger, more powerful, more control. One of the best tactics to ruining a person is giving them everything their ignorance and misunderstandings want.

I worked in a job for 22 years. Almost every year they work load increased and the number of people we had to do the work decreased. The business thanked us every year for our hard work, then failed to give us pay increases equal to half the cost of living increase. Since I didn't have much of a life outside of work, and I was socking money away for retirement, I went along with the lie. By the time I retired last year. It was common for employers to work 400 to 500 hours of overtime in a 5 to 6 month period. By the end of the overtime season people would be soooo burned out, you could track us by the trail of ash we would leave. I didn't even realize how emotionally, mentally and physically empty I was until about three months after retirement. Thank God I'm out.

I’ve learned that the hard way. I used to be the best agent at a customer service call center. Everyone from my wave (people that were onboarded with me) got promoted eventually. I didn’t. At the time I didn’t understand. But I was simply too good to replace. I had the best ratings and did the work of several agents while also being the go to guy for tough cases and everyone’s favourite mentor. Eventually HR took me out of the project and promoted me to their ranks. That’s when I thought I was rewarded. In reality, I did more work than the remaining 15 recruiters and managed to finish staffing a project within two and a half months rather that six. I cut off the branch I was sitting on. I could have done what everyone else does and kept the job for 6 months and become permanent HR afterwards. That’s when I slowly started realizing that being too good at what you do is actually detrimental. Luckily I’ve quit working for corporations eventually and started building my own business with a model that cuts out the bs and doesn’t allow exploitation. I hope it takes off so we can show the world a better way.

Being a hard worker doesn't mean the company should promote you, because the company likely understands that extrinsic motivation from money will motivate you to only care about the money you get from the job, meaning that instead of doing your job if you're passionate, you'll expect the salary to increase with more work.

It's such a stupid system we have, where spending so much of your life into work that doesn't actually get you anything in the end. All those hours I spent at work that weren't necessary were hours I didn't get to spend doing something fun, improving myself, or spending with the person I love.

Meanwhile, the system, which was set up by the aforementioned, is designed so that it's near impossible for anyone altruistic enough to better the world to get into positions of power to actually do so. The system rewards the two faced idiots who know how to kiss up to the right people while lying about hard work and effort will get you somewhere in order to keep the rest of us complacent and slaving away for their benefit for the rest of our lives.

I will never forget the first time a company didn’t even pretend that they cared about my health when they asked me to work overtime and miss an important evening with my wife. At some point the frightened, incompetent managers at your company will decide that you are no longer useful in the long term so they will do everything they can think of to squeeze you until you leave. Never go to HR voluntarily, and when they ask you questions just pretend everything is fine. They are there to make money, and they are only ever rewarded for protecting the company. If someone in HR cares about you, that feeling runs counter to their job. Instead, go home and find another way to make money. Be good to yourself.

'20 years from now, the only people who will remember that you worked overtime are your kids'. So true... It's one of the reasons I now do factory/warehouse jobs (in the UK) rather than office jobs: at least the overtime is paid. When I worked in France, though, I would work 50 to 70 hours pw paid 35. Back breaking warehouse jobs... It also depresses me how you always have to prove yourself and agencies and recruitment consultants act like you've never worked before. Experience doesn't count and once you've reached a certain age (I'm nearly 50) it's incredibly difficult to find work. They are aware that you have back pain... as a result of working super hard in your 20s and 30s. The state retirement age keeps being pushed back, and I won't reach it as I'm living with cancer...

Just ONE thing proves absolutely every you’re saying is correct: the relationship between the wage stagnation/ wealth inequality that occurred since the GFC vs the current world where there is a labour shortage but STILL the worker can’t negotiate a better reward. This relationship proves that there is NO reward in heaven for hard work. The harder you work, the more corporations win at the expense of workers. The mountains of wealth reserves of corporations existing at a time when the aspirations of workers are in huge decline is all the proof you need that the game only works in favour of those in the boardroom while you can’t afford a stable home, health insurance, pensions, and so on.

I appreciate the spirit of your video. That being said, I think it would be beneficial to define terms. “WORK” is actually awesome. You did “work” to make this video. I’m sure you are proud of it, to a certain degree. Later in the video, you were “WORKing” out. It made you feel better. Work… production for a cause, is a terrific thing. Sitting in a cubicle, half heartedly clicking and typing to no visible gain is what we find disturbing. Flipping burgers to fulfill “orders” has almost no visible gain. Working an assembly line, inserting pieces in a process in endless repetition, has little visible satisfaction. I’ve done all these things. When I work to visible gain, I feel immense satisfaction. I compare that to subsistence farmers of the 1800’s- working to visible gain to provide for yourself and your family. THAT is valuable. THAT has meaning. There is deep satisfaction in that type of work. Life without work would quickly deteriorate into leisurely drudgery. But the “work” itself must be valuable. The greatest authors, painters, musicians, architects, and inventors create their beauty through work. They often go weeks and sometimes years in pursuit of completion- it is work. And in it is life itself in a way. I think we need to use caution denouncing work, and be concise in defining it.

Financial security starts with more money than you need to survive. Most of us can't get there. Maybe money doesn't mean everything, but it's 80% of it. Like it or not, you NEED enough money to have surplusses to invest and employ in 'side-hustles.'

Long ago i already decided that if i ever lose my current job, i am not going to look for another job and just sit the ride out with a welfare check until i retire. My country loves taking care of immigrants and their big families, so if they are allowed to live for free, so should i. I have been working since school, and what did it get me? A non-existent family, chronic fatigue and paying ridiculous taxes to support immigrants? I want to dedicate my life to my martial arts, which i am now just too tired for after working 8 hours a day. I am failing myself, my fellow students and my sensei, for wasting all my mental and physical energy on work and i hate myself for it. Stop chasing the carrot; there is no carrot.

My dad runs a medium size business. When I ask him how to become successful on my own, his statement is always to just “work hard” and a little of the basics in the real estate markets. Now when I see the massive hike for inflation to the point that many of us can’t save a single penny from our incomes, I don’t see why I should work hard. This is worse than slavery because atleast even the Egyptian slaves had a roof over their heads and food on the table from their efforts, now we can’t even afford that.

"The customer pays your salary" - This is something I used to hear every week at work (it's just their way of making you work harder for the same amount of money) You can smell that from far distance. "The more you work, the more valuable you are" - Yes, that was so true that I was in those situations where I realized I was working for 3 of them and myself and in one time just get burnout for nothing. They lied that they appreciated me because I was a good worker etc... (they just used me) No more... Thank you Tom for simple and straight forward explanation.

I think that society tries to define our identities by what we do and as such so do we. How many times when you meet someone the question is “what do you do for a living?” It’s typically what defines us. As such, it makes us ripe to work harder and longer to prove ourselves worthy. I do see a change with Millennials and Gen Z. I think they are breaking this pattern.

Most people know their life is at mercy of wage paid by corporations and they do know the importance to diversify their income (doing side gigs, investments etc). HOWEVER, things that often not discussed is why do we work so hard in the first place? I have seen people earning more than enough to cover their basic needs, turn out most of them work to fund their consumptive lifestyle, I’d say over-consumption is truly modern day slavery. Or why don’t we join workers Union to increase our bargaining power? (I could hear people screaming socialist!! LOL). I am not union member myself, just thinking aloud. My gut feel is it takes more than run a one man company to escape wage slavery. Great vid though, good reminder for wage slave like myself.

Tom, this is very insightful. My wife and I raised 5 smart, University educated, succesful debt slaves with good jobs, just like us, their parents. But its better than the alternative. I like your future vision but thats Farscape, right now we cannot get away from society needing people that manufacture everything we own including the IT equipment we are using to watch you and all the amenity providers and so on. A very large section of society has to do this stuff, many of whom are not blessed with your intelligence, vision or education to be able to escape. So they are resigned to run their lives out and likely raise kids into those same conditions. Excellent video man but for me, this is the reality today.

I have actually adressed this topic in a different video: Would Society Collapse if Everyone Escaped Wage Slavery? kzitem.info/news/bejne/o3-YyWVphmZ5hKw the short version is that we are limited by our perspective. we have not really tried anything other than this. If we had a different system, more of a freelance system, perhaps things would look even better.

Just saw this. Thank you. I'm 45, and recently changed careers, from retail operations and shipping to physical therapy as a physical therapists assistant. I love what I do, and it IS far more fulfilling. But I do recognize that while I'm trying to consistently improve my technique and patient outcomes, that the "squeeze" is very similar, treat more patients simultaneously, maintain a schedule that is difficult for my wife and kids, etc. The work is more rewarding, but the "Covey" and similar workplace principles seem to have found me again. And it's becoming unsustainable. Thank you for helping me, if just for a moment, to reinforce the suspicion that my hard work, is once again, being exploited.

I had to leave that place of employment to get a promotion and even then she tried and failed to hold me back! I hope she received her KARMA!

I've tried writing about this topic before and would like to pick it up again. My mindset has shifted a bit recently where I am starting to find enjoyment through working time (I'm a Business Analyst) but I'm still convinced that most jobs are nonsense now. It's actually rare I meet somebody who seems to enjoy their work and when they do enjoy it, it's normally something related to say music, teaching or art (it's rarely related to something that people would consider to be "essential" during COVID, okay teaching might be deemed it). IT jobs are growing but people in the jobs seem soulless. They are just waiting for their 1 hour a day to do their hobby or hit the gym and that's it. It's a sad life. I've managed to retain myself mostly but have found the job can sometimes destroy you. Work definitely bludgeons people's character and personality out of existence. People become their job.

As a boomer, b:1961, I was programmed in the late 1970s to be career driven. I worked like mad through college and then age 22-37 to please my employers and get my MBA and buy a little townhouse at age 31. Then I got married at 35. At 37 I had my first child. It was difficult to get pregnant because I worked and saved like slave through my fertile years. We built our house on budget as if we only had my husband’s pay. From 35-37, we lived on my husband’s salary and banked mine so I could be a sahm. I had my next child at 39 and adopted our third when I was 43. I loved being home with my kids and worked 37 hours per week when they went to school. Back to FT corporate life to pay for their college. With my perspective, I have found the lying, unethical behavior, and treatment of employees appalling. Looking forward to retiring in a year now that the kids are through college. I admire the heathy boundaries of the current young adults.

Talking about the lies of wage slavery. Philosophers, historians and intellectuals have argued against it for generations. Henry David Thoreau, Karl Marx etc., even Plato in ancient times argued for the relevance of free time as a right, not something we should earn by working first. Mind that most of these thinkers lived before or during the industrial revolution, I think they would be horrified to see what has become of our world today. Also this entire idea that work should give us meaning is something that stems from the 16th century, where the Protestant reformation used it as a scheme, by claiming it necessary to attain a place in the afterlife or God's favour, the only difference is that nowadays the lie doesn't have to do anything with God or religion since most people are not as religious. Work should be a choice, and truly, we live in a society where that idea is possible, see the work of Kymlicka! Anyways, I discuss some of these topics in my most recent video, would love to hear your feedback or spar about some of these ideas with you, really love your content, it always brings a smile to my face! Keep up the great work!

Anthropologically, none of this is natural. We are primates meant to be in packs/bands/tribes of no more than 150 people. Nomadic with periodic/seasonal settling. I believe all our problems began with agriculture, "The Greatest Revolution". There is another channel I watch regarding the environment and the need for DeGrowth. We, as a responsible, "intelligent" species, should re-examine our values and this embracement of constant "progress" that is not only effecting our environment, but our collective health as a species. There's so much more to this than just wage slavery. Capitalism is taking a toll on everything about this human culture. Just a thought. I'll give, a heavy one.
