Work at a chemical manufacturing plant. Mandatory overtime for years. Ran off scores of veterans with decades of experience. Now the young folks the company are refusing to swallow the same "working hero" BS. I do not blame them. All working harder or longer gets you is more work. And fattens the bonuses for suits in the office, not for the workers.
Could you please feature a video on the benefits of lateral shifts -- meaning instead of only waiting for a job with a promotion and more responsibilities - but taking the opportunity for 2-3 years to shift laterally (in same company) for same pay, to learn more about another part of the company. And not only that this shift can make sense to your career long term, common pitfalls to overcome in doing this + how to reconcile you probably took a "ghost" reduction in overall pay in the medium term, by not getting promoted sooner in your current role.
Im trying to do a lateral shift because I was hired into a role that was never my jam, but I took it because during my interview I was told there would opportunity to jump to the other side of the organization if my current one wasnt the right fit. But so far its been so hard waiting for a position to open up that I wont have to relocate for, on the side of the organization that im wanting to jump to. And so now i feel extremely stuck and im having to contemplate leaving my corporation in order to find a job in the segment of the food industry that Im most excited about and have the most experience in. My quality of work life would really improve so much if i could do the lateral jump, and I'd accept the same pay in the lateral move.
A lot of boomers and gen 13ers I speak with were able to get into good jobs without degrees which gave them massive advantages since they didn’t have to accumulate massive debt for a job, but today those same jobs want bachelor’s or master degrees which cost insane amounts of money. And even if you work FT while going to college, it doesn’t mean you’ll be able to pay cash for your degree with no debt. Not every one’s parents save colleges funds for their kids.
Maybe all this depends on your motivation to work after hours. I am more on the ball and productive after 5 than I am before noon. There are far fewer interruptions and distractions after 5.
Interesting you bring this up. Since the company you work for says to workout overtime, workout a 2nd job to pay off debt. And you disagree working extra hours. Like the show but interesting you bring this up
Left a like, Ken the jobs literally are putting walls up for young men with and without degrees. They will not let us work without some long online process. He can get a job it just takes a really long time. It shouldn't take 4 years though. Bias is a thing Ken. It is alot, we just gotta play the odds and roll the dice, referrals are the only thing I see that works, it sucks to get laid off, but still trying to stay optimistic.
You want the extra mile you pay for the extra mile. Like a car. You want to drive an extra mile? Guess what? You have to pay for it. Also this guy is full of it. Quiet quitting is not the bare minimum. The bare minimum is doing your job.

I work at a car stealership, and only work OT if I have to, otherwise I’m out the door as soon as my shift ends.

I'd love to work overtime as long as I'm getting paid time and a half.

In the exact same breath as it cost more to replace somebody than to keep them employers will complain about having to increase wages.
