The 7 Lies of Wage Slavery

In this video I wanted to share the 7 lies of wage slavery. Escaping the 9-5 rat race using quiet quitting might seem wrong. But my failed life story so far shows me that is it actually makes perfect sense in corporate work. This is not just a rant, but a reminder why reaching financial freedom is important.

"20 years from now, the only people who will remember you worked overtime are your kids." 😯

[retrogamer]

The worst part is being disrespected at work, if you wanna kill motivation / loyalty disrespect your staff. One thing I’ve learned is do not trust anybody at work there’s no such thing as friends

My father has worked since he was 13; he has nothing but debt. The same man looks down on me for only working weekends. I have no debt, I'm starting a garden, and I spend my days learning survival skills.

Societal values are backward.

Another choice quote from Rockefeller:
“He who works all day does not have time to make money.”

Dude I started working when I was 15 and I knew right then we were modern day slaves and evertime I brought it up to anybody they said I was just being paranoid and told I know nothing of slavery so watching this is a breath of fresh air and I'm starting my own business as soon as I can

[kenmck]

I was told, "work hard and you will be rewarded". Yeah rewarded with MORE hard work. "Hey that guy works hard, LET him do it...ALL.

“Your employers care about your well-being” I have a story for that: During my last performance evaluation, I was explaining to my boss that my heart disease played a major role in my depression; he made a scoffing noise and minimized it as if I was just complaining. I quit that day.

I've been telling people this for the last several decades. The documentaries, Zeitgeist Addendum, and The Secret of OZ, really woke me up to the evil reality we live in. Thanks.

The obsession with workplace happiness always cracks me up. We’d get a survey every quarter asking what would make us happier - change the selection in the break room vending machines, more pizza parties, more “attaboys” from the bosses during meetings. I’d always write in “higher pay.” Seems like an obvious option to include, yet it never was. :-)

Burnt myself out and jeopardized my health for a stupid "prestige" job, one of the biggest mistakes I ever did.

I watched an uncle of mine work his way up from a cashiers to a regional manager only to be diagnosed with cancer two years before retirement and fired due to cut backs. Ain’t America grand!

[MarkMark-jits]

My dad worked his butt off. He ran a small business. I remember him taking us to the swimming pool and then leaving after an hour. I got home and the 7 days sign was placed outside the shop. He passed at 87 and mum was there when he took his last breath. He said "I was an idiot, I worked too much"

[zoniemom]

Minute 11:58 - "People who work the hardest are the people who get the most exploited." This is exactly what I saw in the workplace and why I quiet-quit in the end. One of the ladies I still keep in touch with is still being used for her talent and skill and still has not seen a promotion or raise. It's obvious that she's a workhorse and they are exploiting her. It's sad to see.

When I was working at McDonalds at age 17, I had been there a year. My boss kept having me clean the bathrooms and the new people didn’t . I asked him why I still had to do it . He said I was reliable and he knew the job would get done. That statement has always stuck with me. It was a lesson learned. I t has crept up throughout my career as a nurse. I now work casual and set my own hours at different hospitals just to keep the control in my court.

Nobody looks back on their life and says _I wish I would have spent more time at the office._

Excellent work, Tom. I worked for myself for 20 years as a Personal Trainer. I bought the lie of job security and got a 9-5 job. After 2 years, I am sick of it and going back to working for myself once again. I miss the days of taking short holidays whenever I want.

[mysticseer]

Agreed! I worked minimum wage job, no break, no lunch hour for 39 hours per week so the company wouldn't have to pay benefits, sick time, overtime, or paid vacation. One day the manager "quit fired" me by reducing my hour to 3 per week ( so I would be forced to quit) after I spent a previous week unwittingly training my own replacement. After 2 days the company began calling me 4 times a day over the next week. It seems my replacement decided the job wasn't for her and never showed up agAin? I decided as well not to come in and work the 3 hour work week as I was scrambling at that point for a new job so I could pay my weekly motel room. Because I didn't go back the manager had to cover my old shift - the gal had who quit for a total of 39 hour a week for over 1.2 months until they could hire another person . This person also quit after two weeks training. I was told later the manager lamented her decision to reduce my hours in the first place and give them to her friend the gal I wound up training. Since then I have never allowed a minimum wage slavejob to dictate my hours or bar me from a full time position.

“Society would crumble if we stopped working.”
Lol society is crumbling right now and we’re working harder than ever.

School was never about learning. It was training us for wage slavery.

12+ years of conditioning to sit still, follow orders, and never question authority.
