I live in UK and work for one company almost 10 years. When I started working it was a great place to work, good wage, good quality of life at workplace. The owner of the company(who was a son of a man that established this fine company) was about to retire. Since he had no heir to pass it to, he decided to hire a new CEO to increase the value of the company in order to sell it. And that's when the place turned into a hellhole. Best folk have been sacked or left the company on their own initiative. We're heavily understaffed. QoL went downhill bad, our sick pay is almost worth nothing, we're short on equipment as well. The only reason I still cling to that place is higher than usual overtime and convenient night shift hours. Once that changes, I'm out. Heh, funny, the place used to be top four in the whole city area.

When I was a boy, in the early 1970s, our family lived in the suburbs. Almost without exception, every Dad in the neighborhood went to work in the morning, and almost every Mom was home with the kids (except one lady, who was a schoolteacher). All the kids played together in the neighborhoods yards, street, and various driveway basketball hoops. We knew every one of our neighbors and we even had neighborhood cookouts and events for holidays like the Fourth of July and Christmas. I didn't realize, at the time, how good I had it. One year, one of the Dads in our neighborhood was laid off. The adults spoke of it in hushed tones, as if he had died, and he became so depressed that even the neighborhood kids knew about it. I mention this because it was something that had never happened before. It was both frightening and confusing: how could you be doing your job one day, performing well, doing everything asked of you (if not more)... and then the next day, be told you no longer work at the company? It defied all understanding. Worse: what if it wasn't just one unlucky individual? If anyone could lose their job at anytime, for literally any reason or no reason... how does anyone build a future? When it became clear that corporations had no loyalty to or concern for their employees--when employees were no longer valued, but considered a "cost" to be reduced--that's when employees (rightly) stopped caring about the companies they worked for. They showed up only to collect a paycheck--nothing more, nothing less. The kids today call it "quiet quitting," I believe--and it's the rational reaction to being disposable.

“our family lived in the suburbs. Almost without exception, every Dad in the neighborhood went to work in the morning, and almost every Mom was home with the kids” I’m glad you realise that was a unique moment in extremely few countries. Even in your country, it was a bubble of time when privilege dipped down a class or two, to a new class of people - many of whom were production workers behind desks - producing clerical and admin traffic & records - whose only necessary qualifications were literacy and an average IQ. Maybe also numeracy. A lot of people from families with the background you describe, they seem to not realise how exceptional it all was. They still see it as a norm, even a right. I think this belief of a loss of entitlement is the source of reactionary boomer politics and millennial angst.

I agree that standing up for ourselves is one of the few ways to hold onto any individuality we might have left in this crazy conforming world. . However, I think it's an important point to make that you financially struggling is a form of "societal punishment" for your behavior. Put simply morality and individuality is not rewarded in modern society. And most living creatures on earth are quite simple. If behavior is rewarded, it is repeated. If it is punished, it is avoided. This is one of the many ways they control the masses.

Here in the Netherlands during the 80ties, no one I knew had a executive position. Not family, friends or neighbors. In those days, nearly any job payed enough to buy a decent home, support your family with a single income, go on vacation to France, buy everything the kids needed, and drive a reliable Volvo (240) that could literally drive you 4 times to the moon and back. These men were no CEO's. They were mailmen. Security guards. Elementary teachers. Mechanics, etc. When our country joined the EU, and our currency changed to the Euro, that's when everything changed. These days only 3% of people, with a middle income of 3.4k a month = university degree, can buy a home on their own. If you wish to live, both parents need to work and the costs are so high, most people I know these days cannot save anything. People work, simply to exist. 3% pay increase a year. That's it. That old mentality of: If you work hard, you can improve your life

Belgium here. Hi there, neighbour to the North. Wouldn't know if the introduction of the Euro changed much, as I've only joined the workforce in the mid 2000's. But my granddad bought a farm off his wages as a coal miner and later factory worker, while grandma stayed at home, took care of the animals and worked the field. And together they raised 7 children. Try to do that off a single worker's income these days. And if you look at the lower wage jobs, it's quite understandable that a lot of people would rather collect unemployment than go work those jobs. Who wants to give up 38h of their free time (not including commute time) to earn maybe €200 more a month? And that is IF they earn more at all, because for some people what little extra they make is eaten up by the extra costs associated with working: gas and car maintenance, or bus/train fare, ... And if you got kids and need to pay for daycare, you may even be losing hundreds of euros a month for the privilege of being bored in somebody elses building, instead of your own house. Yikes!

Hoi, hoi Nederland. Noorwegen hier. I've lived and worked in the Netherlands. I've got a master's degree from the University (six years + three years og highschool before that). Meaning I lost income for nine years before entering the work force with a big study loan. Sacreficed all for my work - health, family, relationships. Only to see the bosses being changed all the time, and never receiving a wage increase for what I did for the previous boss. I've worked for over 20 years now, and on my 8th boss (seven of these bosses were female and had to be replaced beause they were incompetent). Approaching 50 years of age, and still can't afford buying my own apartment in Oslo because the prices are so high. My realwage (wage adjusted for inflation) is not much higher than 10 years ago. Poleticians ruined the economy with too low interest rates for too long, rescue packages for "too big too fail" and stimulus during Corona. Also, I think immigration is expensive (half the city are new citizens living of welfare from the taxes I pay and get free housing pushing up the real estate market).

we love it when the company transfers in new dept heads who condescendingly treat 5,10,20 yr veteran seasoned team members as if it's *their* first day on the job, even though it's the other way around, the new supervisor can't find the bathroom... the company hopelessly obliviously clueless, continues to rotate mid-mgmt supv's in an effort to figure out why one after another workers silently give notices of resignation.. they company actually thinks the last employee left disgruntled over scarce & expensive parking issues, exclusively...sure. ....talk about "the gangster who couldn't shoot straight"... it helps when one's eyes are OPEN.....

Other than these things, people love their jobs.

You have integrity young man. Well done. My husband and I worked when integrity and work ethics meant something. But as the years went by , the work environment changed. And continued to change. Drastically. Businesses consider integrity to a detriment. They consider work ethics useless, because they will drag out of you what they need anyway. You’re on the right track. Don’t let the world eat your soul. You are, indeed, a gleam of light.

Depends on the context, really. I don't see anything wrong with getting to know your colleagues. Yes, we're there to do a job, but we're also social animals, we suffer in isolation. Yes, even us introverts need _some_ form of social contact, albeit less than your average person. These are the people you spend most of your day with. Do you really want to spend the majority of your life being the anti-social loner in a group of strangers? It's different if it's your boss, or other management, and you notice their interest is insincere, in order to present themselves as likeable. Or as a deceptive way to glean some information, like they're asking these sorts of questions to profile you. And that "where do you see yourself in 5 years" question is the silliest thing ever. It might have made sense once, when people would have entire careers at a single employer. And even then, the only acceptable answer is something that demonstrates your ambition, while not threatening the position of the person who asks (so "in your chair" is out of the question, even if it's true). And what if I don't have ambitions beyond what I currently do, and do well? Or what if I like change, and have no clue what I'll be interested in 5 years from now? What am I? Russia, with their 5 year plans? So far I've had just one single job where I spent more than 5 years with the same company. So who cares where I see myself 5 years down the line? Odds are I will be elsewhere by then.

Precisely because people change jobs quickly is the reason the 5 yr question is asked. It’s expensive to find, hire & train a new employee. This question, if answered honestly, along with your employment history tells an employer your intention to remain long term IF the employer provides the income, benefits, hours & opportunities promised, and if the employee is motivated to learn and grow with the company. If you’re going to be looking elsewhere immediately and lying at the interview you’re not worth an employers time or money. Maybe instead of demeaning the employer who provide your income you should look in the mirror.

The business was bought by Bane and it’s been all down hill. We are always understaffed, they accept residents that have prior problems at other places, we don’t get raises (yes even after we ask they always have an excuse), more residents while being understaffed, only being talked too and being pointed out short comings and I’m like why even bother anymore…I’m quitting this year and I shoulda quit earlier

I was laid off from a company even though I was told that I was an excellent worker, because the company needed to downsize because they were concerned about the stock price after the upcoming quarterly report.

Great video! I was a public school teacher for 29 years, and the last few were pretty unpleasant. In the end I was teaching 6 classes as compared to 4 for most of my career. We had less time to plan, and fewer resources for students. The district wanted to appease parents and taxpayers in the short-term, instead of making difficult choices that would result in a better education and preparation for the students. So, I retired as early as I could - being frugal helped that! Now I teach part-time at a private school. It pays a lot less, but I believe in the way both students and teachers are treated and how the students are prepared for their future. So, there is hope! I’m still a huge supporter of public education, but not a fan of where things are right now.

Most people are hurting and struggling to survive. I realize this when I seen a man pay $81.00 for one plastic bag of groceries . My mother paid $30-$40 for a full shopping cart of groceries when I was a teenager. Remember the 50cents bag of wise potatoe chips not to long ago ? They are now $2.50 and up.

Age 71, CPA with MBA in economics. Work in both corporate world and public CPA practice. For me, the corporate world was like nice communism, no murders, no mass starvation. It was a good presentation, like a college essay. But we live in different times, like no other in the history of this nation. Print money like it grows on trees. Brics, control 50% of the world oil supply and 35% of the world GNP, and the group is only a year old, 20 more nations want to join. Since WWII America the world currency, but that is ending, and that ending means hyperinflation, like 24 to 50% a year on food, maybe fuel. The nation is divided in half - mass brainwashed psychosis and the other half not far behind. Watch tv, read a newspaper, you are part of the problem, been 35 years for me to NOT. Young bud, the American Empire is ending, and looks like it may be in high gear. When people catch on to the hyperinflation of food, they will hoard, causing man made shortages. This is here to stay, it cannot be cured, except by very hard times, by pain, lots of pain. And this does not even include city grids going down, water supply bombed. It has already started, it is not going away. Buy a pressure canner, 8 quart size, go to work, put back 100 quarts, more if you have a family. Put back dried peas and beans, lots of it.

Everyone would need to have a median income of 174k, to survive in today's economy. Not even thrive, just survive. Less than that, and one is in everyday survival mode and everything is struggle, one minor disaster away from ruin. This is all by design. People are waking up to the reality of corporatocracy and government greed combined with criminal political ineptitude and traitorous agendas, and we're refusing to participate any longer. When the consideration of your labor is stolen, a number of times over, then labor is the only power dynamic that we hold in the equation. Withhold your labor, you cannot be stolen from, either by income earned or by goods/services consumed/taxed. Only to buy products/services that are faulty/obsolete by design. Its the only 'legal' way to boycott taxes, which are unlawful, to begin with, nor do we feel any representation, by. No taxation without representation, is the whole reason this country was founded, to begin with. Only to have those forced taxes put into 'benefit' programs, to steal from as well, with no entitlements of recovery. It is LITERAL THEFT. A RICO racketeering scheme conspired upon by government alphabet agencies to swindle people out of their hard-earned labor compensation. People are also refusing to consume as much because the item that you purchase/own, is also taxed a number of times over, and we understand that if you have to keep paying a tax to have it, that you don't really ever own it, because unpaid taxes results in the confiscation of your property. Why bother? Again, this is deliberate. Remember THEIR motto: "You will own nothing and you will be happy.". So, THEY want us to only be able to afford (by social score) to live in 15 minute cities, where we don't actually own anything, but rent everything and continue to pay taxes on the items that we don't even own, whilst also being taxed for the air we breathe. I'm happy to see people wake up to the futile reality of big government and spending, corporate greed and taxing the working class into debtor prison. Oh, yeah...you can best bet that THEY're already in full swing on bringing those back. Just look at the 'for profit' prison system. All based on a fiat currency system, that THEY want to fully incorporate into a digital system, so that THEY can yank the rug out from under you, or digitally 'ghost' you whenever you don't comport to THEIR liking. So that THEY have ultimate control and complete oversight over your 'wealth', or, lack thereof. Remember, THEY think that we're all just a bunch of "Useless Eaters" and "Useful Idiots", incapable of thinking for ourselves, being just sheep, and all. Wake up, if you haven't already. What we are seeing is the realization of people who honestly ask themselves, "Why should I work my entire life, to the detriment of life and limb/disability, only to have nothing to show for it? If I'm going to have to live as a pauper, I'd rather expend my energies on surviving, instead of working for someone else's benefit until I collapse. I trust in The Lord to provide. I do not trust the corporation of American government.". THEY want us sick, tired, debilitated, disabled and/or dead. If you work your entire life to pay into a system that is designed to work you until you succumb to your body dying off early, with no expectation of return, then who stands to profit? DO NOT BE A SLAVE. DO NOT COMPLY. DO NOT FORFEIT YOUR RIGHTS. DO NOT GIVE UP and DO NOT GIVE IN. STAND UP. FIGHT BACK. BE PREPARED. May God Bless and Save America

@@bobwild9995 Another Boomer here, I have seen that same thing and recently my own son lived/witnessed it as well. He worked a new position employed by a major city, and as a result met the public every day dealing with massive regulations and details, as well as presenting himself as a professional advocate and problem solver. In only a few months, his performance gave him an opportunity for a major promotion. The other candidate was a fast-talking, BS-spouting character from California with an impressive résumé. My son was instructed to explain the procedures and policies to the newcomer which he did diligently for about a month. The newcomer refused to learn the new ropes and continued to BS his way along until it was time for the overall boss to decide whom to promote. The newcomer then started skipping days at work, so my son did receive the promotion. If you work diligently and do the right thing you WILL eventually come out on top. In the meantime, just like the KZitem narrator said, take pride and gain satisfaction in doing a job well and in the long run things will work out.

moved to the US two years ago, I noticed that the mindset around work and life here often feels off. Many people seem to focus on making quick money and spending it on luxury, like yachts, without caring about creating real value. When I started working, I tried to share my thoughts about wanting to bring value and make a difference. To my surprise, people reacted like I was strange, almost as if I was being foolish for thinking work should be about more than just a paycheck. It felt like the general attitude was, "Who cares? Just get paid and enjoy life." But for me, joy comes from meaningful work and creating something of value, not just wasting resources. The real reason no one wants to work anymore seems to be that people don’t see the purpose beyond making money-they’ve lost the connection to the idea that real fulfillment comes from contributing something worthwhile.

Companies do not know how to hire anymore. "Go online" they say (a polite way of saying "talk to the hand, go away"). So you go online. You now get to come up with yet one more inscrutable, 'unique' password, another login name, give them all your data, while you deal with competing AI HR bots that contradict each other, and only communicate with you via robot texts and 'do not reply' emails -- with no human involved in the entire dehumanizing process. Think about it -- if they don't even want to talk to you in person, and treat you like a throwaway app, why would you want to work there?

Corporations go and do your shit work yourself. Corporation owners have an attitute like Demons. Nothing has changed for the worker class only the methods have chanced to exploit the human worker. CEO's are King and Queens, Security Officers are Soldiers Knights, and workers are peasants until they rebelled and brought the bourgeoisie under the Guilliotine.

Well done Damon what a great video you made demonstrating this topic which we should be talking about more and more. You don't seem any videos like this that actually sensibly talk about historical data and more importantly see it backed up in the comments below by workers there have been in the workforce long enough to see these changes you're talking about. The increasing inhumanity and greed is just unfathomable. The systematic and deliberate dismantling of workers rights and protections over the last 40/50 years, the loss of collective bargaining, increasing wealth inequality from the from Lower and middle-income societies to the wealthy. The setting up of debt on our students the youngest in society. The massive increase in privatization of all public assets and processes to consultancies is left out governments in a control and knowledge void favoring the private sector. The increase in inflation, living costs and housing prices caused by a system created in most part in the last 50 years that favors the richest 5% of the population, You could go on and on and people would just say you sound like a whinger. But either way you look at it the game has been taken away from us as workers. The people. The Right's Damon was speaking about the people used to have so there was some humanity in the way we dealt with each other within the capitalist system has been torn down. And done so by a very few in our population driven by some uncontrollable motivation to collect more clamshells in the back of a cave then they can actually spend in a lifetime while allowing others in a little cave to be in a permanent state of stress. It's not just immoral as this video proves it's just a shifting premise over the decades but it is actually inhuman. I like seeing the comments below of how people lived in the seventies and eighties and how things have changed today in their basic life comforts. And I can see they agree that financial stress and the unobtainable ability to grow comfortably is leading to a complete apathy can lead people to believe that we don't want to work but it's completely untrue. We've been doing so for thousands of years it's just that the game has changed now. And it's now so far out of our reach and control it feels as it's almost impossible to wrestle back. Let's hope the wealthy few amongst us see this before they drive us into Oblivion. Though it's not all in vain as we do have some societies on Earth that we can model ourselves from humanely. Denmark and some of the Nordic countries seem to have wrestled some of that back from the fat cats and the peoples polls year after year seem to be reflecting that in their living contentment. I'm an Aussie and I've seen things change big time. So I agree with Damon at the expense of these guys Greeley snuggling up as many clams as I possibly can don't let them kick the can down the road. As our forebears did over 100 to 150 years ago in the industrial revolution, readjust this rampant form of dictatorial capitalism so there is more wealth and leaving satisfaction equality. It has been done before so it is doable.

COVID caused a fairly unique global economic situation. With the global economy measured in dollars and basically every single countries economy plumetting, the US decided to play "Neo-Economics". They printed so much money and devalued the dollar so much in that first year the ONLY reason nobody really noticed is because the entire globes economy was tanking just as bad. Stock prices were rising, so most people thought things were ok. No. The companies were not getting bigger in value, they were getting smaller in value rapidly. It's just the dollar value was falling. Except everyone opposed to neo-economics said it will result in a pendulum swing back the other way and a depression when we come out of it. There was talk about the US delibertely causing another global financial crash just so it can "slip the noose" of those dodgy economic stimuluses. But then again I'm from the UK and Covid was only one of many big hits to our economy. We don't as well.

It is very difficult to justify working to support systems that openly mock and demean you and the lives of the people you love, who subvert and abuse our Rights, and whose motivations are so obviously detrimental to a free and open society as a whole.

I work for a Hospital that has medical insurance so bad for its employees you can't afford to use it. You are allowed to have a GP from one other hospital but any specialties you have to use the hospital doctors at a very high rate and you have to use their labs when you do so. I was ill and did a video call with a NP not even an actual doctor. He prescribed an antibiotic and told me to go to the lab for a test. I looked up the test on line and the average charge for that test was $300. I got a bill from my hospital medical plan for approx. $150 dollars, my share of the cost for the video call and a bill for $1200 for the lab work. The actual charge for the lab work was close to $3000. This is a very well known hospital. They totally rip off their staff who are forced to use their specialists for care.

@manfromatlantisX Why do I see so many of us 60 year olds here on these type of channels? They call us baby boomers, but we are not. We are generation x. We are the generation that missed the baby boomers boom and missed the Tech boom. You and I were nearly 40 when the internet started. We rode in on the coat.Tails up the baby boomer's generation when we assumed that if you worked a forty hour week and showed up every day you got paid a living wage. We missed the good unions and the good pensions, but most of us are not "skilled" but we actually are! With a great work ethic! We don't have the enthusiasm to try to keep up with the job market today.But we still have to work with no retirement in sight

Yes I am on tail end of baby boom. Always wondered why that generation covers so many years. There were two boomer generations. The older group and the younger group. Since we saw the moon landing. Maybe the later group is the mooners😢. Anyway the older group had it better overall. Later group was start of 401k´s. I still view stock as an unsecured loan to a company. If the stock crashed , one gets nada.

You're right. Particularly after the doom flu, a LOT of people got used to doing nothing and getting paid to do it. In some cases, people were making more money by sleeping until noon and then doing nothing all day, rather than getting up at 6am to get ready for work. It's typically the same type of people you'll see talking about how the taxpayers need to pay their student loans for them, after choosing a useless degree and acting shocked to find out that nobody wants to hire somebody with a 4 year degree in feminist dance therapy.

You just hit that one with the proper hammer....I am 71 and worked hard and been successful ALL of my adult life. However, look at those "disadvantage others" , they have become the VAST MAJORITY of the younger workers: the one's that get a government check for doing nothing, or have learned how to lie to the government and then work under the table. My friend, they have done this for a reason: this is what it takes to SURVIVE in this new ethicless society..... Way TOO bad!!!! Downward spiral.....

No one wants a job that doesn't pay a living wage while the corporations profits soar. Nobody wants a job where the benefits are so bad you can't afford to go to the doctor because the insurance only pays half the bill even for routine visits. No breaks at work other than a 1/2 hour unpaid lunch, no holiday pay, no real raises, an HR that only protects and represents the corporation, parking a half mile from the office unless you pay for parking, increasing work loads, etc.

I believe you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned what people want rather than what they need. Keeping up with the Jones's rather than keeping it simple and sticking with the basics. I, for example, would love to have a new car - but I cannot afford one. So I will stick with my older, paid for, vehicle and will keep it and maintain it for as long as I can. As long as it gets me from point A to point B, I see NO REASON to upgrade. I buy nearly everything used. If I see a piece of furniture discarded on the sidewalk, I'll take it home rather than purchase something brand new. Growing up in a poor household, I learned a lot from my mother, who grew up in the Great Depression.

When I was a kid, we lived in a nice, wealthy area and everyone had old cars, many quite rusty. That was just normal and people were quite happy with it. 30 Year later, the people around me have less wealth but comparatively MUCH more expensive cars. There are no old cars around our streets at all. People seem to feel that they need to have a new, expensive car, even if they have to borrow money to have it.
