My contract was not renewed by my employer in 2016, without warning. Every indication was given that I would be renewed and was on track for promotion. When I met with the head of HR, she told me to my face that they were looking to fill my position with more women. I was a park ranger. Nobody ever cared. You’re a number
Guarantee you they're paying the woman less than you.
Sounds about right. Even if they didn't hire a woman, they're just hiring someone cheaper than you
Don’t be upset and leave
Find a contracting agency that will treat you better. They do exist, few and far between though.
Become a plumber, work towards ur journeyman's license, do side work. I make lots of money and it's all thanks to me. Don't rely on others to provide you with a job make ur own job.
I've found out recently that the only way to get a real raise is to quit and go somewhere else that will pay more. There's literally no reason to stick around at a job for any extended amount of time.
Maybe take a look at your own work ethic. Yeah this is fine if you want a $15/hr job, but it catches up with you if your in a higher paying tier. if your not giving at least 2-3 years, that is a big red flag on your resume. But hey...you do you.
@@jcfra420 I'm on a salary of 120k in a low COL area. This isn't just true for "15$ hr jobs" lol.
I have a masters and multiple professional certificates in my industry and companies do not give raises. OP is right, doesn't matter what industry you work in if you want higher pay you have to switch jobs.
@@jcfra420maybe be less dumb.
@@jcfra420 minimum is 1 year, perfect is likely around 2, absolute max is 3, unless you were significantly promoted or get a raise. And even then, always take a better opportunity given, and always check where you are, is your company a good place? Do you they have benefits you want/need? and so on.
This is nothing new in the US. It showed up around 2018.
"We've added new jobs!"
The jobs:
*government jobs
*minimum wage retail part-time jobs
Jobs that were lost during covid
It's horseshit. They are all jobs noone wants to do for the pay they are offering. It's a joke
Also companies posting for new hires without actually hiring anyone forever
yeah this is like when someone steals $100 from me and then they give back $50 and they're like "but i gave you $50."
Government jobs? Private industry contracts that just funnel more money upwards.
You’re not an employee, you’re a resource.
This weighs alot dude
They're the same thing.
I thought everybody knew that. HRM stands for Human Resource Management no?
That's why it's called Human Resources and not Employee Department.

Trust is also dead. You can have the skills, experience and knowledge but you get ignored. And then company wonders what went wrong
The answer is having genuine, networking outside of being a mercenary. Many of us are still privileged enough to be whining, this has been going on for a long time. We still have community infrastructure to work with, but everybody wants to be a doomer
@@Angelitechwhat exactly do you call being a mercenary? Just want to understand your definition. But as an extension of that, do you have any proof that people who aren't "mercenaries" do any better?
It's all about nepotism.

No wonder there is a deficit of people getting married and starting families. You kind of need job security to have a good marriage and provide for your children.
Marriage is overrated anyways. Too much risk for men in return of nothing
This shit has killed our society, we're just here to watch it fall over at this point.
@@lucadesanctis563That’s modern marriage. Historically marriage was kinder to men, sometimes too kind.
@@ernimuja6991 Explain this "kindness" you are talking about, what was kind about marriage back then?
@@maozedong8370 The men owned their families? It was heavily skewed toward the man.
Modern society tried to fix that and in typical fashion just ended up swinging things on the opposite end.
Why would I care about a corpo, when they don't care about me?
Switch job every 2-3 years, boys. Best strategy these days.
I can't make it more than about half that before I'm ready to go
Well it is how you earn the best money nowadays. Every new employer has to offer you enough money for it to be worth the switch, and sadly experienced employees that single handedly run half the company are paid pennies because "they won't look for another job anyways" - it's... very tragic, but it only reinforces that yes, you SHOULD change jobs often. If you stay in one place for too long, the employer won't pay you what you are worth
Facts I gave up on 2 weeks notices too lol
Then work in a time tested field.
Its time once more to remind the system that the workingclass is not the cattle class but people are too lazy.
Staying at a job gets me a $1 raise a year.
Inflation makes that a pay downgrade.
Literally cannot afford to stay at a job because they dont increase pay fast enough to keep up with the cost of living.
You get a yearly $1 raise? I'm jealous. I get told, "if you don't like it, you can leave."
Yea $1 is actually not bad lol. Historically, I have gotten probably $.25 an hour raise (every 6 months).
thats a smart way to look at it, because starting wages always outpace raises your dumb if you stay at one job, even if your making what seems like lateral moves
I was at a job, was given glowing accolades. However, they sat me down and spoke various types of yang about my work ethic, speed, etc... all things they literally praised me for just that morning BEFORE the official review. "We never rate people higher than 'x' because everyone has room to improve.' Strangely enough, all the executive level staff there got legitimate raises.
Got a $0.06 cent per hour raise after that review.
I was stuck there for a while, but moved on when I could and I no longer went out of my way to do anything at all. No matter how much I was doing, they always insisted I could be doing more. Got two promotions in a single year. Ended up making... a whopping eighty more cents an hour... for a non-executive management position... meaning I had to do so much of the crap executives dealt with, make sure everyone was working... but got none of the pay or authority to make it happen.
Was there two years before I could escape that nonsense.
This is nothing, the job I left back in 2019 would give 25 cent raises every year, and a max of 40 cents if you’re a “good performer”. Both amounts are a whole ass joke of course.
I work in the mining industry; there's a running joke that the company I'm contracted with is the 6 months training course for the other two competing mining companies
that was IBM tech support a long time ago. Same exact joke.
KCGM?
Job satisfaction is almost entirely connected to Pay. I'd clean up shit full time if it paid $150/hr... and I'd love my job.
Anyone who says otherwise has had it way too easy for way too long.
You damn right
Yeah. Companies are weird. They act confused like it's a puzzle how to make employees happy. Free pizza day to reward employees? Casual Friday? $10 gift card for high performers? 'Employee Appreciation Day'? Boring paragraph recognizing the employee for their hard work?
Nah, just give them a raise.
Not true. Maybe if it was a huge difference, but I would personally take a decent pay cut to do something I enjoy with people I like.
"Maybe if it was a huge difference"?! $150k is well over 2.5x the average US salary.. that IS a 'huge difference'.
"Not true"? Sure, to you maybe.. You say this because you're financially comfortable enough to say it.
@@Paqqqman I was saying if I could make similar money..$125k for instance doing something I enjoy over $150k to pick up shit. I would do it at this point. I make half of that. If I could make similar money, I would take a 20-25% pay cut to do something I enjoy in a place I feel appreciated. Pay plays a big part, but there are other factors when that need is filled that will make you happy. Some don't need all the extras, and are happy working less if their needs are met.
notice how blue collar work wasnt mention'd at all. thats why im a plumber on new builds. everyone has to take a shit and everyone needs a house or apartment.
Hell yeah! I’m blue collar and when I got started I was making a lot less than most the folks I know. I also had way less in student loans (I had to attend 18 months trade school to get my A&P). Now the roles are reversed and I’ve got a great salary, paid off my student loans and my buddies are feeling the pinch. Not that I’m excited for that, but I’m glad I chose the path I did
The real fun for you is gonna be when most people are replaced with AI so no one has a place to live since they don't have an income.
Construction and trade jobs always need talented workers. Talented contractors will get more jobs if no other way, then word of mouth. That is how my dad made a living before he retired. He tried everything to advertise himself as a contractor, but in the end word of mouth was what got his good name around. Although he is retired now (he is 78 years old) and he still get's calls for jobs now and then.
The average person can't work a trade for the same amount of time they can work an office job. Humping shingles up a ladder and replacing 1/2 inch plywood sheets in 90+ degrees isn't for everyone. Nor is pulling coax and fiber through new drops in an un-energized 50 year old house with windows that were painted shut 10 times.
Oh, don't worry, with AI taking everyone's job, you'll see a lot more people in that realm
Kept asking my job for a raise cause it was 6months. I open and close for them know all the stations and pull doubles, half of the older guys don’t even do that, and come in on off days to help when they ask. They said nah we give them out at a year when previously they told me otherwise. Not much I could do besides not care anymore and I made sure they saw it. My coworker told my manager I wasn’t putting in the effort and should talk to me.. He asks me “what’s up? What’s going on.” At first I say nothing cause I hate confrontation but he pushes me, so I said “I think I don’t get paid enough.” My manager just goes instantly “so do you wanna quit?” I said “yeah kind’ve.” He asked me again “so are you quitting?” I just said “yeah.” clocked out and walked out. Walked in a week later asked for my check and left not another word spoken. Most places are revolving doors.
Well just think man, all that hard work you did lined someone's elses pockets
your first mistake is do more than than the minimum required to not get fired. THere is a reason if "the older guys" don't do that
Just FYI When they ask "So do you want to quit?" Dont ever answer that question. Its a trick to get YOU to quit instead of them firing you and then having to payout for unemployment. Though some places you just want to get out asap and it doesnt matter.
Wait, you’re there for 6 months and think “i need a raise”. Did I understand that correctly?
When your boss or HR manager asks "Do you want to quit?" you must always answer, "I am absolutely not quitting!" Even if you do want to quit, never tell them that you do. If you even hint that you want to quit, your employer is off the hook for paying unemployment if you get fired or laid off.
Job security died many years ago. Nothing new. When companies offered pensions it made sense to stay with one for a long time. But since companies don't have pensions, switch jobs every 3 years. BTW, only gov and military still have pensions
they nerfed military pension with a new system called TSP. You have to be grandfathered into the old pension system if you want a reasonable endgame or else you'll have to serve a lot longer in the TSP pension system.
I'm an airforce engineer, don't rely on pensions from the military
Nintendo offers pensions, that's why it doesn't reinvest money that actually BELONGS to their employees who earned that money IN THE PAST, it's just located at the company. It's not YOURS, or "something Nintendo owes for our long-time customership", you SPENT that money. This is what Asmon calls "like your grandma who bakes cookies for you but is also a racist", not selling out your contracts for short-term consumer pandering is the "bad" part.
Like online, that's literally a US anti-competition barrier that Nintendo CAN'T invest in the same way as global corporations like Sony and Microsoft. Because Americans vote is the primary reason they don't get the benefits of global market being actually competitive: it would be nintendo STEALING YOUR JOBS. YOU can set up online infra because you're like a little girl allowed to operate a lemonade stand on "public" roads right next to Walmart.
Walmart, roads, and free cables for Netflix to not pay tax on, doesn't exist because "you supported US protectionism for so long". They exist because USA had a BELT AND ROAD INTIATIVE to build freemium roadways. Freeways. Ran into the ground by Amazon trucks earning tax revenue.
Blue collar still gets pension at least here in New Jersey
@@leekyonionI’m in gov. Tsp is literally a 401k. Nothing special.
You get a legit pension still but from what I understand it’s not as good as the old one.
But with proper investment tsp plus new pension beats the old one
Its always "X million jobs" and not any mention of the quality
Or their intention to not actually hire anyone.
theyre not going to say we filled 4 million fast food jobs. if we heard that. the public would now question what the real employement numbers are. and all hell would break loose. they're not saying . they keep that to themselves.
Companies keep very low staffing and demand way to much out of their employes and use fear to work them long hours every day and keep high stress on them. In most companies, there is zero work/life balance.
This is the truest problem. Some people need more money and some people that need more time. 60hours is NOT A LIFE. and if your working more im sure this imbalance is constantly on your mind.
Imagine overworking 995/996 and still getting underpaid.
@fg55tr lmao that's 🙄
@@deatheffect575 I look at those people as literal walking burnouts waiting to happen. Its great that they worked all those hours but the company doesn't care if you can't stand, you got work tomorrow lol
Corporations dont take responsibility for anything they do. They blame the ones lowest on the totem pole. Or fully take advantage of their power. Ive had female bosses sleep with my coworkers and in the same breath tell me I dont take the job seriously enough.
Being able to push liability onto the corporation, or from the corporation onto a scapegoat, has created a work culture of no accountability. No wonder bosses think employees are crap and employees think bosses are crap.
That's neoliberalism and neofeudalism for you.
Eh, if they miss a deadline, it's not the lowest on the totem pole who get canned, it's the VP or director who ran the project and promised it could be done by said deadline.
They think of the people at the bottom as highly expendable, agreed, and as such they treat them like shit. But they don't place blame for failures there.
@@MrSlowestD16thats just objectively false in most scenarios
Those at the top dont feel the heat until its finally reached the tipping point, but that point takes way too long to reach
@@theFORZA66 For major org level failures? Of course they feel the heat. The VP is answerable to the CEO who is answerable to shareholders and/or a board. They may do lay-offs, sure, but they're not firing some random factory worker because of a project level failure. How would they even know which one to fire??
Here is the thing. Even when the company makes a lot of profit and you are good at your job, they are still going to fire you. If they can raise their shareholder value. One of my worst experience was being a valued and liked employee, and then treated like an enemy from one second to another after the companies decision to reduce the workforce. It makes no sense anymore to be loyal to a company.
but it never made sense anyway. A company isn't your friend, it's a tool
it never made sense
@@marcogenovesi8570 You are right. Unfortunately I learned it very late in my life.

@@lifterlv you should care. it's your integrity and your word. are you really sick or not?
if a company hires you on, you owe them no long term loyalty but while you're working there you should do the best you can. you come first but take the job seriously even if it's minimum wage. work it as a means to an end and get yourself into a stable career.

1. Wait a year for a $0.30 cent raise
2. Find another job that pays $4 more an hour
People finally realized this and it became the trend….and jobs who say
“We won’t hire job hoppers”
Don’t have much of a choice these days
I remember getting a penny raise and a half penny raise before in the early 2000s
People actually still get pay raises?
It's crazy how true this is. working retail in the late 00s I'd get excited for a 10-15 cent raise. nowadays the minimum raise I'll get is 1$ every 4-6 months.
Well hiring specialists actually recommend job hopping every 2 years to maintain your job value and get the promotion you need for your career growth... by hiring specialists I mean the ones that don't work for companies and have the best for employees in mind.
@@TheExciteMike yeah, the same %3 BS from 20 years ago
I always thought it was a bit strange that companies want you to give 2 weeks+ notice when you quit, but can fire ("let go" lol) you with zero notice if they want.
You have to be loyal to them, but the reverse is rarely true.
Just dont do it. Giving them notice gives you nothing. I wouldn't even tell them I'm quitting, I would just stop showing up while telling them I'll be right in.
it's because of a myth that they will become a poor job reference in the future if you quit abruptly. it doesn't work like that. from my experience, it's rare for an employer to _actually_ look into your employment history (i've gotten away with lying about my employment history out of desperation many times). in a case where they actually do look into your past employment, they are legally required to only confirm basically three things: that you did in fact work there, how long you worked there, and whether or not you received any disciplinary actions. and if your past employer gets caught lying about any of those details, it's highly illegal and opens them up to a potentially huge lawsuit.
there is no deep dive that takes place into how they personally felt about your overall performance; they just want to confirm that you worked there, how long you worked there, and why you left. hr employees are extremely lazy and will almost never take that much effort into looking into your background. they just wanna put asses into seats.
2 weeks haha, here in sweden i get 6 month with pay so i can find a new job
@@nissepisse9768Americans get that as well with unemployment. We get 60% wages.
Company hopping IS the best way to earn more statistically speaking. Even if you have no intention of switching. Having a job offer with more pay gives you insane leverage for a salary negotiation in your old job
No it doesn't. Job hopping works well for low paying minimum jobs where they take anyone with a pulse. Any serious employer clearly sees you are job hopping based on your resume and will never waste time and money training a person that will be gone in a few months. This is way people are whining they can't afford homes and cars anymore.
Yeah your right, but you want to put in on average 2-3 years per job. I mean every once in a while you get lucky, because you offer a skillset a company REALLY needs. But if they see a history of a person working 6 months and hopping to another, not a good thing. You will be stuck in "job agencies" for contract work, and that is not a place you want to be.
After 2-3 years, your raises in pay have pretty much capped. Then you can find a new job with that level of pay, and it goes from there.
@@silverwolf6866 That is not true at all lmao, YOU definitely are a low paid worker if you think white collar companies care.
If you are a valuable employee and skilled worker hiring managers don't give 2 sh!ts about your job hopping.
@@silverwolf6866 There's job hopping every 6 months and then there's job hopping every few years. Maybe you're right in the former case, and I hate doing the latter, but it's a requirement if you want your pay to keep pace with the market. I don't think anyone is really recommending leaving a job in 3 months. It's more like 3-5 years.
And I've yet to find this to be an issue decades into working. I'm even pretty honest in interviews about why I have any interest in leaving my current job, always saying that I enjoy where I work, but the pay isn't where it needs to be. That also has the side benefit of showing me to be pretty drama free, with no ill will or interpersonal issues with the place I'm currently working.

I think that when employees lose their security in their job, they lose the pressure to perform or generally care at all. It’s probably the most toxic work culture that can be created.
When high performers are rewarded and noticed and lazy-bones are cut, it creates pressure to perform.
When high performers are ignored and and anyone may be cut due to shifting winds, it puts pressure to just not be noticed.
Employees who know that their company doesn’t give a flying carp about them, just don’t care enough to inconvenience themselves for their employer.
Very true statement unfortunately.
100 % agree. I work for the government and they don't differentiate between lazy and hard workers
The carrot is a completely foregone conclusion. Employers just threw it away and opted for bigger and bigger sticks. Now, the stick is so big and wide you can't see the sunlight anymore. Whether you do well or poor, there's never a carrot in your future -- just varying degrees of getting whapped with the stick. It's hard to be motivated when you're surrounded by sticks. Some might call it a cage.
@@ellemax4605 so does my spouse. She applied for a job in the coast guard, but she is very introvert.

Also the biggest problem are Nepotism and bootlickers. They get the most rewarded.
Nepotism can be a problem. Bootlicking is something people who can't take orders bring up.
I agree with the guy above. While nepotism is a problem, the bootlicker is being rewarded because He's willing to do more than everyone else.

@@JunchurikiMo In the scenario you presented I would hire the first guy. But you should recognize your scenario is statistically unlikely. It’s much more likely that people that’s closely share the genetics of a high achieving leader of a company will share traits of success. And high achieving leaders of companies are also highly unlikely to be stupid… which is why you won’t be able to give me an example of that ever happening outside of a Hollywood movie.
I moved between 4 IT jobs in a span of 4 years, move vertically because you won’t get as bigger wage rises or a wide range of experience by staying loyal. I increased my salary by 50%
The last job I was in it 5 years and saw maybe 15% salary increase over that time. New hires were getting way above my wage and I was having to train them sometimes. I stayed because it was easy and gave me a lot of free time.
That’s the reality. Loyalty doesn’t get you anywhere.
Skills pay the bills baby. I work in IT too, and did the exact same thing jumping between contract organizations on the same contract thankfully, so same job but different employers. But, the fact is that I will be constantly competing for my spot. As long as I have the skills to pay the bills, I'm good. I think we are all in that boat at the end of the day, some people just don't have skills and truly have no job security in that fact.
Truth is, once you get experience in a skill, you can go anywhere to find a job. Oh got laid off? To quote Jocko - "Good", time to find a better opportunity somewhere else. Your resume itself will speak for you at a certain point. Once you get there, man does it feel good. And so what if you can't find one initially? I searched for literally 2 months straight on Indeed while traveling between Job sites on my first job right out of school. Found my current job listing that had just been posted within 15 minutes. Luckily enough I was one of the first applicants, and received a call that day. Few months of the hiring process later (While working that shit job pulling data cable), finally got my spot. Persistence is key, and it's easy to lose hope nowadays but there is always an opportunity out there for the taking, it may just not come right as you want it.
Note: I didn't have a college degree, I studied at a trade school for IT in TN for 2 years, while working basically full-time at a fast food restaurant. In total, I was working and going to school for 70-75hrs a week. I now work as a contractor for the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) on one of their IT service desks. Nice comfy desk job, full time remote work. It's literally amazing. Hard at times? Of course, but man it beats busting my ass in that greasy kitchen, or digging ditches for fiber optic cabling any day. Work hard y'all, and you can take yourself to any place you wish to be. Just have to keep your head up and look for those blessings.
I did the same thing with my girlfriends.
I've been a Network Engineer for 8 years.
Worked 3 jobs in that time and never got a pay raise from the companies I was at, only when I got a new job.
My salary has almost had a 3x increase from jop hopping and the work is relatively the same. In some ways I actually do less work now than I did 8 years ago.

I got "promoted" from box packer to department head to assemble special orders and deal with the most difficult customers to office logistics manager without a pay rise, informed them i expected a review, did the job for 12 months because it was interesting / exciting even though stressful just to get the experience, then resigned to raise kids, they begged me to stay and offered me a pay rise, too little to late. I was drinking heavily the whole time at work which was why I tolerated the exploitation. That was 13 years ago.
I took a job opportunity that required leaving a job I'd been at for almost 2 years. I was told it was "secure" since the contract with the client was 10 years. I took the chance (it was 30% more pay, life changing money for my family). At 6 months, they suddenly realigned budgets and my position was eliminated thus causing a layoff.

But somehow we built a society where horrible business practices & human rights violations aren't enough to do literally anything to a company. fire & replace. even if half the machine doesn't work, profits still come in, and so they don't have to care about the half of the machine. and on top of this you get recycled thru this system for scraps, barely the pay for a relaxed living.
Self employment ftw.
cuz people worship money like god, u refuse truth and objective morals then complain about the outcome, o well no one cares anymore, keep letting people vote and women working and having no morals and worshipping materialism lol
Self employment is for really disciplined people. It's completely feast or famine. If you're not determined enough to find work, you're toast. However, I find that companies will pay more for an independent contractor to do the work than they would if they just hired an employee to do the work.

The issue comes from people quitting, then the company not hiring new people but just dividing that quitters job up into tasks that the other remaining employees have to take on with no raise or bonuses. Do this enough times and that is how people end up doing like 5 jobs for the same pay.
I worked for a company that has a union and isn't soposed to fire people unless they have a good reason, but they managed to create reasons and fired 50 people within 3 week in the district as a warning to everyone else. I left the company shortly after and found a better job.

Thats cause Asmon is going by court statistics and feminists lies/post that claim most cases are in the 90 percentile which also makes him and them wrong.
The majority of cases are inconclusive because the reality is neither victims of sa nor victims of being lied on magically materialize their phones to record.
Depending on the state proven false cases were almost as high as 10%. And rest that aren't proven false or inconclusive are proven true.
The proven true cases often still out weight false cases but ultimately inconclusive cases hold the majority in court cases.
Yes also have witnessed first hand more than once, wayyy too common nobody takes it seriously
Oh yeah, he straight up lied there. False accusations are VERY common. What makes it worse is that no one seems to want to do the real investigation into it because it is "controversial" but the fact of the matter is many reported cases are FAKE and the ones that are real are usually unreported. It makes it incredibly difficult then to find legitimate cases when the ones that are real aren't even reported by the victim to begin with most likely because they are ashamed and want no one to know what happened.
That therein means that the ones that are reported are either from individuals who have managed to fight the shame to report it to the police or are people just seeking attention or trying to ruin someone else's life with a false accusation.

Instead they made 2 acquisitions that bled the company dry. I was laid off and had no severance package because the company was bankrupt. Now I’m collecting unemployment which doesn’t even scratch my mortgage. Should have left the company years ago without any loyalty.
Incorrect. False allegations are way more common than you assume. Aydin Paladin made a video on that and actually cites studies and police data. Look it up.
Number of legal cases where it was proven that someone pressed charges and was found to be lying is very low. But then again, that's not exactly the most common type of a situation anyway, where someone actually tries to get police involved and it's 100% proven to not have happened.
Most cases are just some vague, but potentially life ruining smear campaigns on social media where the "victim" never presses charges and just makes all kinds of claims.
As libel cases are notoriously difficult to prosecute, often there are no consequences for the liar.

Boomers did this. Actual boomer generation not the meme boomer.
1000%
context?
@@420rogerz I can take a crack at it:
The growing sentiment is that Boomers are responsible for gatekeeping the jobs market, purely autonomously/subconsciously in order to preserve their own best, financial interests. By sacrificing the job security of the younger generations, they ensured their own tenure. You have no risk of being replaced if you sabotage your replacement. This also ensured that antiquated technologies are forced to stick around beyond their intended lifespan to accommodate their ornery views on technology.
Job security is sacrificed by setting the qualifications for hire to be greater than is required by the job. Demanding degrees instead of just vetting and training for the job based on merit essentially outsourced hiring to HR departments, who more often appear to be searching for a perfect spouse rather than a good employee.
The Boomers' abdication of ensuring the younger generations have the opportunity and training to take their own positions coupled with the heavy investment into prolonging their own life spans through medical research has ensured that, as soon as they all finally die off, there will be nothing left for the younger generations to inherit, not just privately, but publicly. Effectively, they are spending all the nation's wealth just to eek out a few more months of life rather than investing it in the future welfare of society.
Most, if not all, of our current Corporate structures are rigged to explode as soon as the Boomer generation keels over. The system is not designed for a world without their involvement. Additionally, they've racked up so much debt on our current infrastructure, mostly through predatory government social policies and regulations, that most companies will expire along with their Boomer bosses.
While it has become popular to rag on Boomers for their geriatric takes on the economy, one must honestly acknowledge that Boomers just did what they were allowed to do -- put themselves first and "get theirs while they can" even if that means sacrificing their progeny to do it. There was nothing to stop them from doing this, so why would they not? They successfully removed all competition and turned our once-Capitalistic society into a Social Corporatocracy -- Which entails Government Social Programs that exclusively benefit Corporations. It just so happens that most Corporations are currently managed by Boomers.
No. Their kids did. Boomers aren't the general management in these companies anymore. The only mistake boomers made was granting equal rights to women without equal responsibilities and doubling the workforce which suppressed wages.
I’m 23 and I have more than 2 dozen jobs on my resume, every interview I tell them I’m looking to settle down and stay in a position for 3-5 years but don’t actually mean to stay for more than 6 months most of the time, I’ve long stopped caring if I get fired and am willing to quit at a moments notice if pushed
Not sure what line of work you do but as a manager when I review resumes and I see someone jumping around that much that's pretty much an immediate no hire. I work in engineering and look for people have stayed somewhere at least a couple of years or more pretty consistently over the cpurse of their carreer. Seeing someone with short durations at their jobs would lead me to believe they either just don't stay anywhere long or they keep getting let go because they weren't working out. More often than not it's because they aren't good at what they do or lie on their resume and end up getting let go. Definitely not saying thats your situation bacuse you obviously just male the decision to leave. I guess it really comes down to they type of work you do too. Some professions may not care to see that much jumping around because they only intend to use you for a short period of time anyways. Just be careful with that because it could lead to having a hard time getting a job down the road. You're still young and have a ways to go.
@@starvinmarvin7964how can you discriminate on tenure when people aren't even given the choice to stay that long at a company.

The problem isn’t just the corporations doing shitty things. It’s the bootlickers and people who settle for low standards. It’s like people who eat fast food then complain that fast food prices are too high but buy it anyway. Corporations don’t do anything they can’t get away with.
Most jobs are just looking for best profit margins. Had a manager once get fired and replaced by someone with half the experience for half the pay the previous manager had. System is busted
A company I worked for in 2004 was transitioning to manufacturing over seas. They kept extending our contracts. They kept flying in people to train with us. Near the end one of the managers told me they were using the training to get better paying jobs. One had even lined up a new job so fast he quit right after getting off the return flight. 😅

I disagree with using coercion to keep people doing a great job. That is emotionally abusive and does nothing but demoralize and discourage the workforce which results in bad performance. This isn't a reality tv show like Gordan Ramsey; that stuff is half fake and half true because chaos and drama creates ratings. Irl, promoting trust, upwork-reward, and security is good for the company. Creating pressure is good but always using threats of getting fired leads to people leaving that company because the security isn't there and there is no stability.

Making employees feel like they could lose their job is not a good idea. The fact that you said it is makes me really question your reasoning ability.
Making employees feel like they may potentially lose their job does not motivate them to work harder to keep it. It does the complete opposite. It not only causes them to slack off because they dont care, because they could lose their job anyway, but it also causes them to prematurely seek other work and potentially even leave without notice.
They still make the employees feel like they could lose their job.
This is true for people like highschoolers and other people with safety nets. This is not true for people who are living from paycheck to paycheck and would be devastated by losing their job. The latter group working hourly jobs is a lot larger, so manufacturing job security uncertainty will make them work harder for fear of losing their job.

This is not completely true. There are some employers, typically smaller ones, who deeply value good employees who actually show up on time and don't call off for silly crap. Things have gotten so bad, I've seen these employers overlook things that would absolutely get you fired a year ago, but because you show up on time and do your job, they will accommodate you. Now, this obviously is not all employers and is still only a select few, but they absolutely do exist.
your right but its pretty much a small town/city thing now. but the problem is that as this grows in bigger city's and eventually takes over, morals wont matter, Because the system will squeeze them into following the same format, because of money. in less than 10 years only a very few jobs will still have this luxury, and it'll depend on the industry and its growth

14:00 - This just an uninformed take: From the Associated Press
"Brent E. Turvey, a criminologist, wrote a 2017 book that dispels this notion. His research, and that of two co-authors, cited statistical studies and police crime reports. One academic study showed that as many as 40 percent of sexual assault charges are false. Mr. Turvey wrote that the FBI in the 1990s pegged the falsity rate at 8 percent for rape or attempted rape complaints.
'There is no shortage of politicians, victims’ advocates and news articles claiming that the nationwide false report for rape and sexual assault is almost nonexistent, presenting a figure of around 2 percent,” writes Mr. Turvey, who directs the Forensic Criminology Institute. 'This figure is not only inaccurate, but also it has no basis in reality. Reporting it publicly as a valid frequency rate with any empirical basis is either scientifically negligent or fraudulent.'"

I worked at a big box electronics store while going to college. One day the corporate people came in and had a big meeting with management. Around midday they left for lunch and I was looking for a manager to help me with something. Went into the office where they were all sitting and had to wait for the floor manager to get off the phone. While waiting I looked at the papers that were on the conference table. It was official documents telling management what to do going forward. Specifically stated was that turnover was mandatory at 65%, even if they had to fake or forge employee reviews to be lower than they should. The idea was to turn over employees that could get raises and they would hire the next crop of high school students to replace the ones "let go for poor performance aka fired illegally". Those that manage to stay would be forced into management where they would basically live at the store 24/7 on a terrible salary pay. On holidays not only did you live at the store but you didn't get any sleep either. All those execs have a special place in hell all prepared and ready to go, just waiting for them to arrive.

Job hopping was massively popular in the late 90s / early 2000s, especially in the IT world. All companies were trying to get or increase their online presence, and the demand was so high, it was super easy to job hop.
The challenge with job hopping in the IT space is that you basically have to do one of three things: (1) keep increasing you IT knowledge and hope that what you're continually learning remains the next new big thing; (2) shift younrole/focus over the managerial work and oversee the IT efforts; or (3) shift your role / focus over to operations or business and find a landing spot there.

As a former psychologist, now gangbanger. I would recommend the books by Dr.Eric Berne, Norman Angell and Robert Greene, Dale Carnegie, Robert Cialdini.
And turn to a life of psychoanalytics, and to study what crime they can get away with.
I have 3 family's, Government pays for there food and housing,
I just have to live with multiple warrants and work under the table.
I get more out of life than most will ever have and yet out of hatred, they will never wish me well.
My company just gutted out the team leader positions. You used to be able to join as an operator, move into a key operative role where you would get training on the team leader role, which you could then use to apply to a team leader position, which would lead to a manager position. Now it's literally operative and then straight to manager. There's no intermediate position for me to move into and I'm told I don't have the experience needed for the manager position.
“Climb the ladder of success then pull it up after you” comes to mind.
Bet their buddy they met while golfing magically is qualified despite being fired from their last post/just finished school/worked in a completely different industry.
We've had managers walk into the job who couldn't organise the alphabet. Giving talks and presentations where they literally didn't know what the big words meant. One actually put the flammables and explosives cupboard under a fire escape because it "looked better there". Got promoted for working so very hard 😂
Oh, you who know every job on the shop floor, no you are not qualified to do the same work they can do.
Definitely not of their intellectual calibre. Which is apparently a type of vegetable.
@theghostoftom funnily enough, yeah, the new site manager is getting all his buddies in from other businesses he used to work at giving them the limited manager roles taking positions from team leaders who have been there 5-10 years who then didn't get through the interview process
@@lzl3lol Sorry to hear it. Not surprised though.
Hope you don't wind up underneath one of the bright sparks who heard that they have to stamp their authority by changing something petty and forcing everyone to comply.
One of those cost us a really good worker. The two of them got into a fight in the break room. Manager threw the first punch by all accounts, so lost his job but worker was being "unreasonably insubordinate" and definitely won the fight so they totally had to get rid of him. I've told him to get legal help, see if he has a case but we will see.
For now we are a man and a turnip down.
@@theghostoftom I don't mind change itself, change can he good, but often you see people changing things for the sake of changing something so they can say "look what I did".
I dont plan to stay at my company anymore, I'll be moving on, hopefully if it's not too late at 28 I hope to get into a trade, engineering preferably. My managers have described me as a "maverick" in my feedback for past team leader applications. Basically I don't butt lick my higher ups is how I took the feedback. Im outspoken and will voice my opinions or dissatisfaction on things, even if that means calling put higher ups, I've learnt that holding higher ups to the standards they put in place doesn't help you climb the ladder, so I've decided now to do the bare minimum required of me like everyone else and now I'm being asked what's wrong and why I'm not putting in the same effort as before.
I'm putting in the effort that everyone else is putting in, why am I working more for the same wage if there's no promotion to be gained from it.
Tech and automation was sold to us based on the lie that it would lead to a shorter work week (due to increased productivity). Instead companies have just raised employee expectations.
Who sold you that lie? Everybody knows that tech and automations allows to make more with less people. It’s been the same since the Industrial Revolution, which contributed massively to the abolition of slavery. It was just not needed anymore
I'm a cnc operator/programmer. Was literally promised a salary increase with a set number at a company I started at, after I learn how to program. I learn, functionally program and mention it in my performance review after 3 months. HR says it's impossible to learn so fast because others needed longer and refuse it. After 9 months I was programming for everyone else as well, and I demanded the pay increase. They terminated my contract..
Even in the drone industry. was making 52k a year before taxes before as a drone delivery pilot for Walmart and switched jobs after 9 months and took an offer with a competitor for 80k. You NEED to always look for better opportunities.
How old are you if you dont mind me asking? sounds like a cool job
Job Security LAMAO!!!
I am a Mercenary, I work for the highest bidder and will change allegiances without compunction if it benefits me.
I work for me and mine not my CEO's and theirs.
Time is a very valuable thing. Things should be worth doing.
hobos have plenty of time
Reminds me of that time I had a job that repeatedly fired & rehired the exact same workers, not because we were bad workers but to make us "new hires" as a method to avoid giving raises
I can say from real world experience, that one place of employment had a long-standing reputation within its workforce, that new hires always got paid higher than the old guard, because the internal mechanism of annual raises was lower than the market wages increasing... so it was better to quit and get hired in a different position, than wait for your raises internally.
Add to this, companies do not have loyalty to their employees or in the reverse, so there is nothing motivating people to go above and beyond the absolute required minimums by law or expectation, and there is no real good reason to do so financially either.
I went from Sales, to 1st Line Engineer, to Team Leader, to Manager, by jumping from company to company. I more than doubled my salary on this journey. Always put yourself first. Never show loyalty to a company because you are just a number and they will replace you in a heartbeat.
Yup. The worse things get, the better I feel about being a 33 year old dude who never "left the house." I only work 30 hours a week and still have plenty of time and extra money to blow on whatever I want. 😎 Life is *WAY* to short to w4ste it working.
what's really annoying is when the company raises starting pay but doesn't increase the pay of the people already working there to match so you got ppl who've worked there for a couple years making less than the incompetent idiots they're training.
Put it this way...... My grandfather worked for a company back in the day. He spent his life there, 9-5, salary enough to buy a house and support a family, frequent breaks, company bbq, family days, christmas banquet, full benefits package, and when he retired after 35 years, received a rolex watch engraved with a thank you message.
My company gave me a "temporary layoff" for 2 weeks... What they really did was fire and then rehire me into a different position with less pay. The issue was I was a non salary manager and was getting paid too much in overtime because managers are supposed to be on salary. If only I could afford a lawyer....
I've known 4 dudes who were falsely accused. Evidence cleared them, one had their accuser actually come clean about their fling. I think it's higher than we see.
When I ask my friends why they don't speak up about it they explained that people will still believe that they did it and got away with it. They have to stay quiet.
Nothing makes those headlines go away. When they look for new jobs that will be the first thing the employer likely sees.
I was originally hired on as a lead. Shortly after I set routines, company liquidated all lead positions and basically said become a regular worker or leave. They've changed my schedule and my duties multiple times within a 6 month time frame and made me the garbage woman who picks up all the shifts nobody else wants. 2 weeks ago a stable position was available and I went for it. I was trained by the very staff who was transferring out and trained as if to take her place. I go to the office and boss tells me the position has been filled and there's no need for me to take that shift. Come to find out yesterday that boss blatantly lied to me and had to hire someone brand new for the shift I wanted. And guess what, I'M the one that has to train this staff to take over the position I wanted. I feel crushed and overall disregarded in the most disrespectful way. I don't have a problem with my clients. It's management that is the problem.
Im a heavy machinery operator about to start electricians apprenticeship. Glad i dont have to worry about this lol
8:35 difference between taxi companies and uber/lyft/clones is that taxi employees are salaried employees with all of the benefits and safety that this entails, while uber/lyft/clones workers are legally franchisees, so the company doesn't actually have to pay them anything and don't have to provide any benefits or securities, while the franchisee pay a cut of their salary to the main company. A taxi driver has a million more rights and benefits than any uber driver could ever dream of, and these kinds of "you work for us, but not really" operations are increasing daily because corporations love nothing more than taking advantage of the workforce in any way legally possible.
Confucius said "One who offers bananas for a job position would only hire monkeys."
16:48 Exactly my experience. I lost my job three times (two times offices closed, one time I was on a 6 months period and after our project finished the whole team did not receive contract extension). Now, I literally don't give a rats ass about being fired. I know I can find another job and do other things so when I start working at a company I work as I feel like without fear of being let go
ikr, its an amazing feeling when you stop caring.
I started a shoplifting gang and live in a tent for the past 5 years.
Ive gotten more food and women than all the years of working. So its off to the tax payer to pay from now on.
12:40 Because those min maxers are squeezing every drop out of workers. Instead of doing 1 persons job, youre doing 1.5 peoples job with min to no training.
Job Security was ALWAYS an illusion. It's all about perception. Same with the stock market.
asmon worked 15 years ago and thinks he knows everything about the work force and if “you argue your dumb”
Yeah. I’d say the biggest shift in the job market occurred AFTER he quit working.
Even mom and pop places use online hiring methods nowadays. It’s insane.
the 2020s just feel like the 80s again...
But more gay
Minus the booming economy lol

I worked in retail after getting tired of mcdonalds in highschool, absolutely hated it but when I got a job at a gas station I stuck around for 6 years, then I went into office and blue collar work, it took another 4-5 years from moving job to job every 4-6 months to find a job which I'm currently still at, even with that being said I've yet to find a job that'll ever respect my time then I did working at a gas station crazy enough.
There's nothing I can't stand more than someone as entitled and wealthy as Asmon trying to talk about REAL JOBS like he has any idea. This dude has been living at Mommy and Daddy's house his entire life and got extremely lucky with Twitch. He may have worked a retail job once or twice but he's never had to struggle for anything. Just like ALL these entitled streamers they have NO IDEA what it's like to actually struggle or want for ANYTHING.
We have made up too many jobs that are just completely unnecessary
7-8 years ago I had gotten a position that was a launching point with my city Park Board, it wasn't the job I applied for but I had my foot in the door to have a chance to end up where I wanted so I took it. After 2 years of "full time seasonal" employment I was let go because of two standout factors. The first was I had been on my multi park weekend route when I was called back to the park where I was headquartered to clean up a restroom unit where someone opted to use the floor drain instead of the toilet The weekend supervisor who was in that park at the time called me in from downtown to come clean it up and I wasn't super enthusiastic in my response so that looked bad I guess. The other part was that my position was being shelved so the park board could take on a bunch of homeless people as a sort of job outreach program to help them onto their feet, so I just got dropped.
