Onko nuorio pilalla
25.10.2023 |
vai miksi nykysukupolvi on niin saamattomia vätyksiä? Tiktokissa collegesta valmistunut nuori nurisee 40-tunnin työpäivistä ja ihmettelee missä välissä ihmisen pitäisi ennättää elää, tehdä kotityöt ja deitttailla ja olla kavereiden kanssa. Varaa ei ole asua kaupungissa ja töihin pitää lähteä jo 7.30 ja kotona on vasta klo 18 jälkeen. Miljoonat komppaa tätä kermapersettä..
In the upload, Brielle, who asked that Insider only use her first name to protect her privacy, explained it was her first job out of college, and she worked from the office, which meant she had to commute into the city even though it took "forever" because she couldn't afford to live in the city.
She said she gets on her train at 7:30 a.m. and doesn't get home until "six-fifteen earliest," at which point she said she has no time or energy to cook dinner or work out. The nine-to-five schedule and the commute wiped out her days.
At the start of the video, the TikToker said she was "probably just being so dramatic and annoying" and acknowledged her situation could be worse. She noted that she could be working even longer hours, but questioned how people were supposed to make time for friends or to date.
"I don't have time for anything, and I'm, like, so stressed out," she said toward the end of the video.
The upload appeared to resonate; it received 1.2 million views and over 7,300 comments. Many wrote they could relate to the situation, as they shared that they, too, had limited time for their own personal lives, and found the repetitive routine difficult to deal with.

On. Elämän on pelkkää työtä. Ei saa olla viihtyisää elämää ollenkaan.
Roomalaisten kirjoituksissa jo nuoriso on pilalla ja on ollut jokaisessa sukupolvessa edellisen mielestä. Itse pidän nuorisoa paljon fiksumpana kuin omaa viiskymppisten sukupolvea tai minua vanhempia. Tämä palsta on elävä todiste siitä.
Nuoriso on ollut pilalla jo Sokrateen ajoista asti.

"The 40 hour work week is beyond outdated and your feelings are totally valid," one viewer wrote.
Others echoed how hard it was to work a full-time job while staying on top of household tasks, let alone trying to maintain a personal life. Some questioned how they were supposed to one day make time to raise kids, as they spent more time at work than they did with their family.
"Gen Z need to collectively move up into management positions and then collectively enforce the 4 day work week," one commenter wrote. Others said the option of remote work should be the way forward.
Brielle told Insider in an email statement, "I am very grateful to have my job after five months of unsuccessful searching after college, but it is discouraging and understandable why Americans are burnt out and mental illness levels are high," adding that she feels fortunate to have a job she is interested in and enjoys, but is concerned that many office workers aren't finding time to enjoy "sunlight, exercise, adequate sleep, healthy eating, and forming connections with other people."
She added, "I leave for work before sunrise and get home after sunset."
Brielle also highlighted the overwhelmingly positive response she received in the comments, saying, "I want to be able to talk for this next generation and explain that a 40-hour work week plus commute is not necessary for productivity. I appreciate all the positive comments from other sympathetic workers."
She said she hopes more companies consider rethinking the 40-hour work week, especially after so many people are used to being remote.
In July, New Zealand-based nonprofit 4 Day Week Global released findings from a pilot program that featured a four-day work week in participating companies spanning the US, Australia, and the United Kingdom, and found, after a year of testing, work intensity dipped but workers were more efficient and had a better work-life balance, Insider previously reported.
The 40-hour work week is a much-discussed topic on TikTok, with a search term that has 42.8 million views and features videos from uploaders calling for it to be reformed, highlighting the lack of financial reward despite working the full-time schedule, or parodying those who push for longer hours.
