I’d rather die than work a 9-5

Today is June 18 2024, I can’t do this anymore…

Thanks for watching!

"I don't care about money, I want time!" You're a wise young man. I wish you the best.

53. Worked for 38 years. Almost nothing to show for it. Now I work for myself and take 3 months off a year.

You’re a smart kid. Walked out on my job after 7 years. Work for myself now. Time is the biggest currency.

The fact that companies still want you to be in a physical cubicle for 8 hours a day and not a single hour less, it angers me

"You've helped someone else achieve their dreams" was real asf😭

Glad this generation is waking up to garbage corporations put people through

I especially hate the toxic positivity in office jobs, it’s like you’re not allowed to voice any opinions without the fear of being fired. It’s like you’re expecting to be eternally grateful to your employer for the job despite its shortcomings all in the name of 'professionalism'

[mr.mayhem]

People who have given all their lives to companies have no concept of free time above that 2 weeks their employer 'gives' them. WORK FOR YOURSELF. Companies are literally prisons.

"The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care."

My favorite flick of all times.

I'll be 26 this year, "learning to suppress the feeling of wanting to die" couldn't be a more accurate description of the last 10 years of my working life.

the fact that nobody talks about the book called "arab money secrets" speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

You’re telling people to quit their 9-5 jobs but if you open up your own business, you’ll hire people to work 8 hours a day to keep your business running.

9-5 is a very quick way to major depression imo, it’s just so hard to escape

I'm in my 50's and I've never been loyal to an employer. When I was young, that was viewed as being anti social, workshy, lazy. Now it's how most people feel.

Im 23 and completely in the same boat. Ive been breaking my body welding and doing construction since age 18. Compared to your IT work i have at least been learning and mastering trades i can use to make my own business, but a year ago today i got my first fun job. I went all in like you and traveled (not far) to be a white water guide in Pennsylvania. While there i decided to get a job teaching people how to ski which was a blast and i met so many people that think like you and i. Now im back home (in NY) and i got offered a position as a ski instructor at Copper mountain in Colorado! Do i have family and connections there? No. But will i make it? Absolutely. By all means necessary AVOID BECOMING A CORPORATE SLAVE!!! You got this Shawn!! Thanks for the inspiring video!

I remember going to a meeting in Walmart. I work there as a stocker. The actual job isn't that bad. But I remember going to a meeting that was being held, where we were prompted to voice our concerns. I kid you not, every single complaint was met with some variant of "we can't change that." From "we need to train every person on how to use the cardboard compactor, " to "we need more space in the backroom, " all were met with some cleverly reworked version of "nope, sorry, that's too much." It didn't feel like upper management trying ti reach out. It felt like upper management trying to quell dissenting opinions.

Slaving away for someone else !!! Not worth it!

It’s why I DoorDash. I literally cannot stand being in an office for 8 hours a day. The lingo, the sad lunches, the gossip and the bullies who never left their high school mind set. I’ve heard the only way to beat the matrix is to be rich or be homeless.

This is such a breath of fresh air! I'm so tired of people expecting us to follow traditional paths when in reality there are so many possibilities out there. Great video!

9-5 is a blessing, to those who work 6am- 10pm 7 days a week
