      Glad to see UA-cam still prioritising top comments by who expresses 'respect for secular (read: atheist) beliefs'. You know why people tend to watch UA-cam? To vicariously experience something they don't have.
      This something (faith) is a little easier to obtain than most things you don't have in this world. Not because the path is easy, no. But because it's always open, and it's open (and frequented by) the poorest of the world.
      Religion is a system of control. Tell me, how is your self control?

    Bruh you have no idea how this video blessed me. I’m 28, broke, about to get into a new job, but i’ve always wondered why my life had to be so rough. And now, hearing your story, i’m convinced that it all has a purpose. I survived a surgery that went wrong(left me partially paralysed), nearly got imprisoned for drugs that i was framed for, had to deal with life without proper use of the left side of my body. For the next three years it always felt as if God’s promise would never come to pass. But you. You meme-filled, humourous, animal loving human. You gave me hope to believe that God will provide.

The suits get very pissy when they "catch" us finishing a bit earlier than the exact second our shift officially ends, even if we have our quota fully met and our workspace cleaned and ready for the next shift... fuck those people.
      I mean, i am OK with my job, the production quotas are measured pretty tight already, but if you are smart, you get to work asap after coming in, shorten up your lunch break a bit and you can easily end and have somewhere from 20 to 40 minutes to clean the machines up without any rush and chit chat with the guys on the next shift.
      Its not like they havent raised our quotas multiple times over the years already, but they cant do it more because of laws about physical load on a person/day.

And if breaking away from your work for a bit to recharge when you’re not needed is somehow “stealing time” then call me a thief.
      A smart worker knows when to go full throttle and when to pull back a bit for their own health and sanity. If you just go, go, go you’ll eventually burn out and will be of no help to anyone.

As long as the project is complete, they get their moneys worth. Other jobs have some kind of constant "tap" where you effectively have an infinite cap of work you can do. I guess some sales jobs are like that. Even if you meet your metrics, and even if you outperform your entire team....theres always more you can do. Those kinds of jobs are real rough on some people.

      Yeah, get a job thats performance based and not "time spent doing things" based. The former gives you autonomy and job satisfaction, while the latter provides anxiety and bitterness. There's a reason retail employees are dead-eyed. Sometime to finish my assignments I work over 40/hrs a week but dont get paid for it as Im salaried. Sometimes i work 20/hrs a week but still get paid for 40 as Im salaried. Two-edge swords cut both ways. I also love my coworkers and bosses, which helps.
