What's even more crazy is that conditions for low wage workers is even worse now than before covid because low wage employers can't get enough workers to do these shitty jobs for shitty pay, so they are perpetually understaffed, placing even more burden on existing 'essential' workers.

And still they refuse to offer the pay and conditions that would pull these workers in

Because they own the company. If you Want more, do more or find a better job. Work. Don't be lazy.

Or you are forced to work and earn nothing because the government forced you.

"There are only two certainties in life - death and taxes."
- Except if you're rich, in which case you can legally dodge taxes and thus pay less in tax than your average worker. And even postponing death itself is also becoming a real possibility for the rich with nanotechnology, so that statement is only a half-truth. It's rather ironic how the richer you are, the less taxes you pay. The secret is to move away from income-based salary into capital gains and store away your wealth in trust funds and holding companies.

Dude i am the same...
went into aeronautical engineering and when i came out in top 7-8% of my class (studying in a foreign language, not even english but a third language amongst locals) i was actually unable to find work in a field that pre-corona was supposedly lacking workers. Employers were looking for 5+ years of experience with certificates showing specific knowledge on specific aircrafts (certificates that both cost and require 3+ years experience on those aircraft) whilst wanting to pay under 1k-1.5k$ salary. we are talking about highly qualified engineering jobs at a country where middle class is starting from ~3.5k+$ salaries and goes way up...
so my basically "empty meaning" degree meant nothing.
was looking for a job in the field for over 6 months to find a barely ok position with the understanding of salary being raised within 6 months.... corona hit and i was let go for few months and then they got me back. the 6 months probation started over...
but because i requested 2 months of unofficial work "illegal" ( i wanted to participate in a eu program for some basic pilot training that required u being unemploeyd) thsoe 6 months got reset again.
and after the 2 months passed and i realised that the programm was a joke and they werent ever gonna start it, i left it and requested my work becomes official again. they were saving significant money not paying taxes for me and my helthcare costs (almost 1/3 of my salary ontop the money paying me) so it took them 7 more months to get me official again...
and due to corona i wasnt able to leave that job
and when i became an official employee again, the 6 month clock was RESET once again!!!
thats the second best paying place in this country in aviation (after air traffic controllers, which is a goverment job that pays great, but i dont want that stress currently in my early to mid 20s...)
sooo with over 2 years experience at this point, as an aeronautical engineer, whose job includes actually taking engineering decisions and responsibility with my signature on a document, i am being payed under half what would take for me to enter the lowest amount to start be considered a middle class...
i am actually making just above 20$ whats considered the poverty line for the capital city of the country - where i live...
and me managing to survive financially is based on me leaving in a college dorm (that actually costs nothing) due to me doing a double masters... which i am concluding litterally next week and will not affect my pay in any way!!! but that also means i will have to go on rented housing which with current pricing will actually put me in negative budgets by living the same way i do now... (which would be me spending less than 50$ a month for ALL of my hobbies and enjoyments)...
so yeah... maybe the job isnt terrible (though i have to do many things i am uncomfortable with (as to approving things i dont agree with), but this is a routine that must be broken. not for one person (like me or you) but for the entire working class...
but unfortunately the US is a leader in terrible worker rights and too many places are copying them...

They list that kind of shit in job listings now, under the "why work for us?" section
Like why would I give even a quark of a proton of an atom of a fuck about that? It has literally zero correlation to worker pay in almost every company on Earth (and even in the few exceptions, you have to be very high up for it to matter)

In a meeting, the company I work for announced that they had made an extra 1.2 million dollars, immedietly after that they told us they were no longer providing us with water and we would have to bring our own.

Amen. I have had to tell people not to overwork or else it will become expected of us and sure enough it did.

This is a great point because I’ve seen how nowadays they make you write everything online and renter all your application information because they don’t give a shit to read info about you as a person more so quick bullet points, “oh no experience?, bye” not only that but on average it takes longer to get hired, more and more jobs I sign up for are incredibly slow to respond as they wait for the “best applicant”

No, you're right. It is a needlessly complicated and truly unfair process these days, whereby the ones who need the job least (and are just corrupt or lucky enough to manipulate the system in their favor) are often the only ones who get tapped to interview. Meanwhile, dozens if not hundreds of qualified applicants spend hours filling in a lifetime's worth of employment and background information on forms that apparently get submitted to a black hole somewhere in the galaxy, never to be seen again. And today, with everything done online, you often get the added frustration of not being able to contact the employer to follow up on your application. Actual human communication is impossible. I'm not even that old, but I'm old enough to remember it didn't used to be this hard. It did NOT. Don't let anyone convince you that it did. It's not "whining" or "complaining" to observe when a system becomes almost impossible for an honest, smart, hardworking person to navigate. It should be called out.

@@francismarion6400 what’s normal ?

@@AGirlofYesterday I totally agree with you. Many people who I know who ended up even landing a spot in good companies had connections/ a family member in the job/sector etc. Even my own friend tried getting me in a social service job on the premises that I could get hired in without previous social service experience because they had an aunt who worked as a case manager worker. That went to crap when they lied about the pay and took it off when it came time for my second interview, why a second interview? After a 40 minute one? I don’t know. Also it is classist the system nowadays. Oh you want a job? Have a smartphone and computer for signing up and contact, even though often times people are trying to get those jobs to afford one? Not to mention how many of those applicants were talking about are thrown out deliberately by companies so that way they can have tax write offs for “providing jobs” by going “see! Look at how many hiring opportunities we provide to the state etc” it’s all bullshit. I grew up in a conservative family who would say my complaints are just being upset with the way things are, that they’re normal, if that’s normal then maybe I’d prefer weird. But yeah thank you, I don’t doubt myself for a second. As vaush as once said on a stream, I’m lucky I have a high self esteem.

@@janetpaskalov2094 Oh if you have high self esteem, that's the problem! They don't WANT self-confident employees. They want groveling, apologetic subservients that they can push around and overwork, and who will never complain, just take orders and be grateful for the crumbs they throw you. Unless it's a high level job, then you have to be so wealthy, elite, and connected you don't really need the job. If you have dignity but no wealth or major connections (like me), you're screwed.

I’ve been paying flat in the US the most of my adult life. The less I work the happiest I feel.

That's kind of true.And if the industry lost the social ability of "let people move higher social level"through works ,then more people will be lying flat…and it seems functions of social mobility in US and many other countries are playing the minimum role~so what's the way out ?hmm

Good to hear this out of China. The younger generation is wising up because they are the ones that are going to be given the planet when the old ruling elite are gone. But I'm sure the younger generation don't want to enable the further destruction of their home land for the benefit of a few obscenely wealthy people and corporations.
Hopefully they follow that train of thought and are willing to revolutionize the economy itself to end oppression. End the oppression of labor-for-income. Demand a UBI as a human right so everybody's needs are taken care of. Then work for system change away from the unsustainable monetary-market economy and build a better system based on natural law and careful management of available resources.

Don't get me wrong I would love to be a housewife. But work just exploits you and even if I can't work because I'm disabled everyone one that isn't rich is paying for higher prices for goods and that just sucks. It's hard for us as it is without them meddling

Lying flat and letting it rot are definitely the way to go. If the rich don't feel like treating their employees as human beings then they can just do their work by themselves

We can live like that again, but we have to amass enough of a movement of people that the ruling elites of the monetary-system cannot ignore our voice. What our ancestors lived like for thousands of years was egalitarian communities without money or markets. We lived successfully like that for over 90% of human history. Then we settled into communities, developed agriculture and that set off the need for trade, and then dominance, resource wars and oppression through labor.
But we live in the 21st Century now with advancing technology. We have the technical capacity to meet all human needs locally and sustainably without money or markets. We just don't have an economy that incentivizes or allows for that by its structure. The current market economy is unsustainable.
We need a revolution and transition to a resource-based economy (like our ancestors lived). How could we do that? Demand a global Universal Basic Income as a human right for all people to meet their basic needs without labor-for-income. That can start the transition to a moneyless society, because we need to take the boot off the throat of so many people overworked and/or overstressed that can't help a revolution unless they have their basic needs met.

The funny and most sad thing about the whole system is, there are probably are millions who want to do that, but their passions are being replaced with wage robots, and that discredits their whole passion. There is probably some one who wants to start a new fast food chain, one much better and healthier than the big ones, but the rep that the big ones have discredits that idea. Even in more comfortable and equal places like Canada and The Nordic countries this problem continues, although less, because people have to pretend to like someone else’s passion in order to succeed in life, rather than all people doing their own passion and only the few without going to whatever job is open. The only people winning are the billionaires who seemed to get rid of their passions long ago for the shake of their own wealth.

@@darkbrightnorth I find it hard to believe that someone is actually passionate about SEO, PPC or alike. Its an easy way for analytical minds to earn some money, but beyond that, nah. There is no passion there. I worked in this exact field and I have never met a person who is truly passionate about it. They might act as such for various reasons, but thats bout it. Deep down, I always knew that tinkering with online advertising tools brings zero value to society, just took me some time to realize it (sounds kinda funny in hindsight). The main motivator of why people do these types of jobs is "I am pretty smart and good with numbers, I just need to study about this for a few weeks and Im likely to get an entry job in the field, half a year in, I will get a mid position if I work hard enough and a few years down the line, Ill be a senior in a big agency earning decent money." I know this is an anecdotal argument, and thus pretty weak, but from all Ive gathered by talking with numerous people from the field, thats about where I stand.

​@@alexbarcovsky4319 You are so correct about this. And some people go so far into the rabbit hole of pursuing passionless work that they probably forget how it feels to be "excited" about anything that's not corporate or career-related.

@@alexbarcovsky4319 I think it's not about being passionate about the task or the day-to-day, but rather the big picture it enables. For example doing analytical work, furthering your knowledge of how the world works through your analysis. You may hate the actual tasks but enjoy being able to solve puzzles. At least that's how it is for me.

@@danklewis2670 Good for you. Most people can't, so while I'm not specifically a socialist, I openly support public and social programs that make sure that people, uh, DONT DIE if they don't make enough money. I figure that's just human decency lol

so true, the people who actually do work are paid shit and treated badly while people with bs jobs roll in dough and get celebrated by society, cruel world

This is so true. In my former job, we did a lot of "problem solving projects" that took way too much time and implemented no changes to the problems that we were supposedly addressing to solve.

One of the reasons that Uber, a software company that should have almost no expenses, isn't profitable. They make up things to spend money on and don't need.

In Junior high, my social studies teacher told us a story. During the great depression, her family was better off than most. When men would come asking to earn a daily paycheck for food for their families, her dad initially tried to simply give them money, but they refused charity. Eventually, he had them move a big mound of dirt from the front yard to the back.
I don't think this applies to the complexity of today (nor is any typical worker at fault for the collective choices of the powerful), but when dealing with worshippers of the status quo, sometimes tricks need to be played to get them to help themselves (and each other). Just look at how the trumpists fight unions and healthcare and education and science. Sheesh.

You should've quit on the spot during the town hall meeting. They told you what I'd imagine was far to obvious anyway.

So basically the government is subsidizing the living costs your employer does not cover?

Market economics is flawed by design. It essentially makes people just commodities and they are paid based on how hard they are to replace not on how hard they work.
We need system change, not tweaks to flawed market capitalist system. System change could come from the people of Earth demanding a UBI as a human right and allowing for a transition of energy systems to renewables, giving people more time for their own health and well-being, and creating more efficient, localized production and distribution systems to meet all human needs for essentially zero cost.

To them your payroll is an expense which reduces their profits. That's why capitalism sucks when you are employee.

I am convinced that you are paid to be miserable, and not paid to actually do a service. Waste your time and do it with a smile.

It's not about profit. It's about subjegation and domination. Profit is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that you know that they control you, your life, your time and even your toughts and that you know that you can't do nothing about it, because you are alone. Money is merely an instrument of control.

@@aleksapetrovic6519 I had the same thought watching the video. Labor and employment are weapons, used to keep those of us who work too tired, placid and afraid of losing our incomes to fight our abusers, and to ensure those who don't work lack to means to fight anyway.

@@IpSyCo no one should ever be in a position where they’re FORCED to work or otherwise starve on the side of the street. Whether they WANT to work or not is up to them, though most people will want to work at something. It’s just that, for many folks, that “something” would need them to take time off from work to study up on it, and the majority of people can’t take a week off or they’ll be out on the streets or inescapably headed there.

Too true, all those office workers get labor day off as well.

they dont do that in my country.

Weird.... I had never heard of an employer asking for a high school transcript. Most of them just assume you have one.

Yup. The amount of work you need to do to get a job at all is pretty much a full-time job in and of itself. Degrees nowadays are prerequisites for getting a decent-paying job, but it isn't the guarantee that it used to be. Not even if you study tech

Going to College and getting a full time job is like trying to become an NFL player, crazy competition.

What STEM degree just curious. Some stem degrees like bio and chem are very saturated.

@@GenerationX1984 "Plus our refusal to tax billionaires and large corporations and not regulate them is how we got the biggest wealth gap of any developed nation". this is incorrect. again, _your_ taxes go to *the billionaires & trillionaires that ARE THE GOVT,* and _their_ taxes go back to them as well. they are one in the same. it's a trick. there is no point to demanding they tax themselves because the taxes GO TO THEM.
regulation is used to selectively box out businesses that would be competition to the ones who are protected by nepotism. those who make the rules will never be forced to comply with them. who are they to choose who makes the rules? let the consumer decide. and no, regulation doesn't make stuff safer when, again, those big companies with so much power are NOT kept an eye on. that's why you have johnson&johnson and monsanto and diet soda and pharma pharma pharma giving people cancer with only a tiny percentage of victims winning lawsuit.
regulation is a false sense of security. a facade. the consumer must learn how to determine good product instead of relying on a bought and paid for govt to do it for them. oh yes, we must. the only other option is disease. a govt will not protect you from yourself or anyone else even if you believe it will with all your heart. they just protect he big guys and make it nigh on impossible for you to defend yourself or get justice in any real sense.
all of these CEOs of huge companies are bloodline. they didn't get it by working hard. and being able to tax producer income and KEEP IT has gotten them there. they love taking without consent. they *love socialism*. without it, the ruling class would immediately fall.
