Why Everyone Is Quitting The 40 Hour Work Week

People are quitting because companies love to hire awful managers, have no progression strategy, dangle the carrot to get you to run, while paying you terribly. Mix all of that with the increasing inflation with stagnant salaries makes it not worth the high stress for little.

Quit my dealership job in the body shop office and opened my own business doing the same thing. Most time I’ve ever seen my wife and children. Also, made more money the very first year. Yeah, I work the same or more hours but I’d rather do it on my own terms and not have to deal with the office politics.

The HARSH TRUTH is most jobs SUCK.

i quit my job of 10 years. and together with my wife we ​​opened our work studio. peace came to life.

I’m working to buy a piece of land by next year, where I will use the skills I’ve been learning over 12 years to start a small farm, and build my house. I don’t plan on living in the city, nor suburbia, but rather in the country where I can live debt free and with the land as God intended.

Because we realized that working 9-5 will not get us a house and family like our parents gen did.

My husband got laid off last year. After 5-6 months he got another job making about the same amount of money. But he also started his own business because he lost his trust in corporate America after getting laid off. When the business becomes successful enough, he’ll quit the job he has now and run the business full-time.

Because it’s not worth it. Businesses want you to give EVERYTHING but then give next to nothing in return. They all say “We’re growing and there are a lot of opportunities for growth/advancement.” But then it doesn’t happen so why stay for maybe a 3% raise? Jump ship and you could get paid 10-20% more for doing the same thing.

If you got nothing(no house because you cant afford to buy, lease a car as cant afford to buy, cant afford to start a family etc) then you got nothing to lose, makes you more free to just quit and try new things, as you dont have that fear of losing anything. When you have nothing you do get a weird freedom to that.

Inflation, taxes and government corruption should be a big turn off for anyone.

Most people don’t have a choice but to work 40 hours a week.

Work for free is insane let alone to the wage I currently have

You know what is crazy is he hit every nail on the center of the hammer. My wife and I have been burnt out for the last two years working for companies that dangling a check over our heads. We are tired of feeling like we are not living life. We dont have kids or many responsibilities but we feel like we can never get ahead or take enough time off work to work our ourselves and our mental and physical health is not at its best. We are thankful to have jobs but at the same time we feel like this is not they way we should be living life. I know that life can be better and more fulfilling and working a 9-5 for 50+ years is a sure way to fly through life not feeling like you didint do what made you happy. At the end of the day I know I was put on this earth to do something amazing and my time is running out. I am 35 years old and the more the years pass, the more I become depressed waking up on a routine to make someone else rich. Its time to take a stand. I feel like this video is a sign that if I dont act soon, I will fall into this same pool of people that look back at their lives when there 60+ (if I make it that far) asking myself, was the juice worth the sqeeze? My time is now!

It split because we went off the Gold standard, fiat money is trash and inflated away...giving you less purchasing power.

I mean the job market is awful right now. Fresh out of college? Only a year of experience? Good luck in your field

I’m in the military the only only thing we know is working 50+ hours and we don’t even get paid by the hour…

"they dont smoke, and they don't drink MUCH" You can instantly recognize a drinker talking 😂😂

I used to skip history class to avoid learning all of this. And now I just can't get enough. You helped do that buddy.

Ah yes, another Monday, another video
