Because life is more important than a 9 - 5

jobs r 4 fggts neet mstrrace

Why should we be limited to one job? We are free to do whatever we want, why be corporate slaves.

Often you can get paid more by switching jobs.

To live from taxpayers money

Ive saved 6k working a shit sales job for a little less than a year. I plan on quitting and traveling abroad, am i degenerate?

Have you ever tried negotiating a raise? Why would you settle for a 80 yurobucks annual raise - effectively losing money to inflation - when you can get +30% switching job with the experience you now have?

No, just stupid. You're gonna come back with nothing, and a gap in your employment history.

Because fuck living in a house and having stuff and things.

But my lifestyle of 10 hour shifts and no social interaction has me contemplating suicide. I think its worth it to go enjoy life for 6 months then find a new job.

Sales sucks, I wouldn't blame you for quitting.

it's possible, easy and offers more instant gratification.

there's no narrative in the west today under which it makes sense to slave away at some boring office job. back in the day most people found meaning in their work because through it they supported their family and it was universally accepted that family=good, responsibility=good

nowadays everything is being deconstructed and meaning is only found in novelty until it wears off and you go find the next thrill. classic family life is frowned upon and considered something for "squares"

there's not much anyone can do. just sit back and watch the WASP + ethnic Western EU population drop by 50% in the next couple of decades. it's fucking over, individualism is a virulent and incurable cancer

Efficiency through technology + labor surplus = poorly paid workers + no benefits

Worker loyalty is dead because there's no incentive for the workers to stay there. All a person can hope is that their work experience will help them get better paying jobs before their jobs are lost to foreign workers or badly paid interns.

You can thank globalization and overpopulation for this shitfest.

Maybe if employers would show a bit of loyalty towards their employees, their employees would show a bit of loyalty to their employers in turn and not leave so quickly. Or at all.

>Why do millennials quit their jobs within a year?
Because they can afford it.

Go have fun user, ignore these plebs wasting their lives slaving away making money for someone else.

Here's what I would do - use 1k to take a month off, save the rest. You'll thank yourself when you come back from your vacation that you have 5k in the bank or the market, trust me. I blew 2k over the summer on dumb shit I don't even remember.

You in college?

There is no point in me working because there is no work to be done.

Yes, final year of college.

Because the jobs don't pay and don't have a way up. You want more pay? Look elsewhere. Want a better role? Look elsewhere.

These guys are right. Loyalty is earned, not deserved, and companies today don't really bother trying anymore.

As benefits and pay become increasingly mediocre, there is gradually less and less incentive to work a miserable job.

A young person today who has not saddled themselves with debt can easily sock away 20-30 grand savings in a single year. For most renters, that will cover a year's expenses.

Very few companies offer genuinely good benefits capable of holding employees who gain nothing from them aside from rent money. Paychecks can come from many sources, and companies do little to engender loyalty in their employee pool. While there are certainly great companies out there to work for, most treat their employees like throwaway assets, and their employees return the favor, milking them for cash with the bare minimum of effort before moving on to something more interesting.

By the time a millennial reaches retirement age on a year on - year off cycle, they'll have had nearly 30 years of leisure time under their belt, which is likely more than they will live through in retirement.

She has bad skin.

This. Companies don't promote from within anymore. You have to take that next level job at a different company if you want to get ahead. Employers show zero loyalty to their employees and this is a natural consequence of that behavior.

>move jobs every 1-2 years
>20% pay increase and promotion each time

>work at local gas station for 8 hours

>get paid $20

Jokes on you, I quit in one day.

Because the whole is greater than the sum.

Pretty much this.

My last company treated me like dogshit.

They changed my role and made me work longer hours and decrease my pay to nearly minimum wage. I worked a sales assistant role.

They just made me pack boxes for 6 months until I said fuck this I'm out. I saved 12k and now I'm working at Costco and believe it or not I'm making more money with less hours somehow.

I do want to die everyday though.

It looks pretty nice to me, user

Is there a benefit to "growing up" and acting responsible for millennials?

$20 an hour for gas station is pretty shitty wage. I'd never even show up.

How the fuck do you save 12k in 6 months on minimum wage?

she's white?

I worked 5AM to 7PM and got a bonus. I had a two hour commute too. Living my family helped me out too.

You don't spend all your money. If you're not stuck with tons of debt, there's alarmingly little that you NEED to spend money on.

I worked six months selling fat people diet food and I put up almost 20k in savings and another 4k in my 401k.

Then I quit to become a writer and now I get royalty checks and have a book on Amazon.

From my point of view, at least here, Companies do rarely increase your pay so you gotta want to keep opportunities rolling by whoring yourself out to other companies in the hopes of a better benefit.

Working a minimum wage job for 5+ years is happiness.

If you disagree, well then, heh, you're kind of a fucking idiot.

>work 8 hours
>paid $20

Only $20? Because if so, sounds like shit that never happened unless you're old as shit and reminiscing about your youth. $20/hr? I'm inclined to disbelieve, mainly because factory jobs in my area pay even less than that. But I suppose you could be in Cali, or some other state where the minimum wage is on par with what factory bitches make in my area.

Because that liberal arts degree isn't paying off.

Probably because the last 2 decades have seen an exponential growth in information technology, allowing the typical monkey sphere of your average joe to extend well beyond the norm thanks to social networking and instantaneous global communication. Peoples priorities have shifted regarding their place in the world and their effect on it thanks to their ability to easily educate themselves independently of local, familial, and social norms.
Capitalism has failed, and the generation caught in its chainstoke is more aware of its failings than those who have spent their entire lives living in the shadow of its failure.

Tldr; the pendulum of society has always swung to and fro, now is no different. Each generation just goes through a period of self induced amnesia where they forget they were young people once too.

Another problem is changing jobs. If the company even gets a hint that you're looking for a job, they'll fire you or put you on a "performance improvement plan" when in reality you've done nothing wrong. It's their little way of firing you.

Because it is easier to find a new job than get a raise at your current job.

It's the money & perks version of riding the cock carousel.

Because millennials think working hard treads on their rights and self actualization.

They've been brainwashed to be hedonistic and lazy because it's "cool" (thank jews and nig culture pushed by Jews)

Because they want to pursue better pay and better opportunities?

PhD in chemistry at a nice start up.

Money is okay and benefits are meh but I love the flexible work hours. My job is fun and I enjoy it though I would prefer the management stay out of my hair and let me fuckin research. Shit takes time to discover and figure out jeez cool it nigger.

>quit

they get fired for being worthless and fucking around on their phone instead of working

yeah, I got paid $20 for 8 hours of work.

Too poor to afford a lawyer, so they got a full day of work from me for free.

enjoy taking care of all the oldfags and refugees leaf

Trips of Lucifer!

What the fuck is with these "why are millennials x" or "why do millennials y" threads with soe pics get posted all the time. What fucking autist is doing this shit. I can't remember the last time I looked through the catalog and didn't see one of these threads. Fuck you OP. kys.

Enjoy not having any power to make an impact on this world.

Want to know?

This video is pretty good.
As a millenial I believe it relevant.

youtube.com/watch?v=5MC2X-LRbkE

Would not say that at all.

Some do, some don't. The people I know who do shit are usually the ones on the bosses good side. I had a co-worker who did nothing and made me do everything for her. When I didn't, she told my boss that I was being lazy and got a call from HR telling me I have to be "more helpful."

What genre? I write adult erotica for a free website. Is it worth selling my collection on Amazon?

Bingo! We have a winner.

Shitty middle management is a plague on most industries. Its a byproduct of degree culture. Companies regularly hire 'qualified' management rather than promoting from within, which places inexperienced academics in charge of people who actually do their jobs.

They studied 'passive intervention' and gender pronouns in school to learn how to be better managers, but they never learned how to manage or do the job they're overseeing.

Underage b&

I write horror. Amazon is a pretty solid venue, and its relatively cheap to publish e-books. They even let you publish by the story if you're not down with the whole anthology bag.

>Too poor to afford a lawyer

You don't need to pay for your own lawyer in this case, your employer was in direct violation of FLSA, the Fair Labor Standards Act. This isn't civil claims court bullshit, the government will take care of this particular case for you as long as you're within two years of getting fucked.

dol.gov/whd/minwage/q-a.htm Educate yourself son. It amazes me just how many people today don't know their own rights.

Because boomers find out we are paid more and go out of their way to get us fired, i whooped a 50 year olds ass once for it

>gap in employment history

How fucking retarded are you to leave blanks in your resume? Just lie like everybody else

Hedonism is the ultimate blue pill. I am in fact enjoying myself.

23 years old, good try though.

Would agree. Middle management is always people from the outside. My manager worked in fashion for 25 years before she became my boss. She kept telling me gain weight, as in fat, because she said that I "looked gross." She was morbidly obese and had ruined her whole lower body because of her weight.

Soe pisses me off tbqh
>be somewhat good looking
>get to live a comfy life with no work

Cool. I'll look into that. I thought about Patreon but Amazon sounds legit

Because they will call said place and if you lie, you're fired or they won't offer the job to you.

Not at all. Sup Forums will bitch and moan that everyone isn't miserable at home shitposting, and then when someone who has a job posts they'll belittle them for their job in the same breath. Enjoy life, it's not forever.

Easiest way around this is to explain it away as 'taking time off to pursue creative work.' Art, writing, music. Whatever. They can't challenge you on whether or not you were actually trying to make a career of a creative pursuit, nor is there any real record.

Being able to point to things you produced is nice, though. Write some bullshit articles for some E-zine or something and you can add it to the resume to fill any gaps.

Helping take care of sick relatives works well, also.

this. I haven't had a job longer than a year. I truck for 6 or 7 months at a time and take winter off. before that my shitty jobs at Fry's Electronics and HnM never laster longer than 3 months tops

fuck full time work

>get prepaid phone
>disguise your voice

Wow so difficult. Unless you're a dumb ass and put google or apple on your resume you'll get away with it

Because jobs are jobs, and most are no longer employment.

Employers treat employees like shit, disloyalty is a natural response to that.

Patreon is a good way to make money without producing content. People will help support you between releases. You should do both, honestly. You can offer patreon members raffles for free stuff or coupon codes or cameos in stories, or even custom stories.

Take advantage of every source of revenue you can.

this

here in italy there are no jobs and the few ones are taken by women, immigrants, disabled or handicapped people or guys "that know that guy"

if you know what I mean

I quit after two years because they were paying me a ridiculous amount of money for doing some backend bullshit. Now I have enough money to live as the yuppie I am for at least 5 years without working... of course, I am not gonna do that, but let me be a NEET for a few months at least!

I'm an immigrant with green card by the way, this country is just too easy...

So everything this guy said is bullshit. Do you believe this garbage?

Because they are spoon fed through school and have people who will forgive all their mistakes and give them endless second chances, who will chase them up and make time for them to catch up on anything missed or not completed through laziness.

Basically everything you're expected to do properly first time in a real job, you're supported through in school. The real world comes as a shock and they can't hack it. Stuff like being in work every day, and on time. Doing what you've been asked without repeated prompts and to the original deadline first time.

Basically the drive for results in school means they are so mollycoddled they can't take personal responsibility or have the motivation to stick at anything. They're also entitled brats that think everything should be on a plate because you're always told when young that 'you can be anything you want to be' despite the realities of not being able enough, wealthy enough or where your face just doesn't fit.

So they can't do a job more than a year without quitting, going on an extended holiday for a few months until their saving run out and move back in with their parents. Rinse and repeat.

If you're under 30 you're too underage for Sup Forums

If you're over 30 and still on this board, you should seriously consider an heroing.

This is a slide thread, but OK.

a.) Disillusionment.
If they don't pay taxes, they don't support your wars. Your civilization collapses. Well thats good isn't it?

If they actually had something to gain besides sterilization you might actually have a better country. Neutered beta-males are impotent. This is what happens when you let capitalism poison the food, and sell whatever drugs they want legally for the people.

Also they don't have children because of the divorce laws. Which specific target a certain race. Why bring home the bacon if your wife is going to run off with it?

No children. No future. No wonder.

b.)
The other half is because of socialism and liberal arts degree. Banking has allowed capitalism to grow the university and fill it with cheap shitty degrees. People who go to university end up stupider than when they went in.

I have only ever quit one job. Been fired from a few, but only ever quit one.

I've never gotten a significant pay raise without changing jobs, and recruiters hunt me down on LinkedIn -- soooooo....

Also I work primarily for start-ups, I get some of my stock vested and move on to another so that I can have a broader range of potential benefit if any of them get acquired or go public, which some of them have.

>get job
>Boss pays shit
>Apply for another job
>Boss pays a bit more
>Switch every year for 4 years
>Making 65k and have a bitchin' benefits plan despite never improving my credentials
>Think I might actually settle into this work because it's fun

Such is the millenial life.

Especially in the US with there being practically zero vacation days allowed at any job I'd go fucking insane if I didn't quit every year or so. Showing up every day for an entire year just to net a week?
Yeah fuck off with that shit, quitting and enjoying nature for the next two months.

What do you want from me? I have been working since I was 16. Longer than some shorter than others. I have never quit a job, except when it was a natural progression. (Moved to college, internship ends, that kind of thing). I have been at my first job out of college for soon to be 11 months now and I would have quit 4 months ago but it took me that long to get a solid job offer. I am quitting because the treat me like the h1b monkey I have to work with doing work unrelated to my degree which isnt hard -
ee is a broad field, in which the company I work for does a broad variety of work in ( at least their website says so). But as they are a consulting company I dont have any direct access to HR or any shit like that and this work involves trips that have physical discomfort and hazards and extreme overtime. Something they did not mention. They say after a year you can switch etc. But I can tell company culture sucks and its gonna be a gamble to find a good assignment. Their overtime structure is whacked out because they follow some formula that has weekly pay/hours overtime for hourly. For example I worked 32 hours of overtime one week and got oaid 8.25 and hour, next week I worked 38 and got aroud 7.50. Fuck that shit fuck this company. Having legal monkeys to import not only takes away jobs, it lets you strcuture jobs where you don't have to care employee discomfort or compensate them for it. Making the labor dumber and the managment less culpable is stupid...

Good post

Moot was 15 when he made Sup Forums. He's turning 29 this year, if he hasn't already. Many anons are around the same age range.

>38 hours of overtime

That's absolutely ridiculous. I'm guessing they're very understaffed and make up for it by making employees essentially do the work of another employee

Snacks is probably somewhere creeping on underage girls as we speak.

>Often you can get paid more by switching jobs.

This.

Last job I started was during the economic crisis so I couldn't demand a high starters wage.
I basically HAD to quit becasue it was a career dead end with newcomers getting payed more than me.

Because career advancements aren't happening as much as they used to. Corporations and just plain normal businesses treat their workers as easily-replaceable temp-workers. There is no loyalty towards their workers, so why should the workers have loyalty towards their place of employment?

Blaming the entire millennial generation for simply adjusting to the slave market created by Baby Boomers is ignorant at best.

And Moot quit years ago.

i had a 7 year gap in mine

on your resume you put self employed dingus

for dude travelling abroad he could literally say that and just add he was teaching english or someshit

Theyre struggling between:

>a) Man, fuck this shit. Ima free human n shiet. Viva la Revolution hehexd

and
>b) I need money, because my parents wont pay for my genderstudies anymore.

Idk but she is cute as fuck

You can lie and put anything to fill an employment gap.
Self employed, taking care of a sick relative, volunteering, went back to school, free lance, etc.
I've never had any of my references ever called, and I am a reference for at least a dozen people and I have never been called. I'm pretty sure it's only on resumes as a "shit test" to filter out autistic neets

Because employers and corporations expect loyalty and dedication from us without giving us shit in return but a pittance. I'll try out a job and if within a year I dislike it in any way I'm gonna be searching for greener pastures

>Their overtime structure is whacked out because they follow some formula that has weekly pay/hours overtime for hourly. For example I worked 32 hours of overtime one week and got oaid 8.25 and hour, next week I worked 38 and got aroud 7.50.

Jesus fuck, this again. dol.gov/whd/overtime_pay.htm Take this and go crazy. Things to keep in mind.

>Unless specifically exempted, employees covered by the Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay.
>Federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr

If you're paid less than $10.87, possibly $10.88 depending on rounding for your overtime pay, they're probably in violation of the FLSA.

The more important question is - what shitty lager are they drinking in those Hoegaarden glasses?
