Day In The Life Of A Gen Z Wage Slave

    3:30 AM - I wake up, last night being the first full 6 hours of sleep I've gotten since Christmas. Time to get ready for work. I roll over and grab my phone, it's time to see what is going on in the sphere of the internet that I have let my attention shift to.

    Will Smith Slapped Chris Rock...

    Ukraine is being invaded by Russia...

    Ozempic is being tested for it's efficacy in weight loss...

    4:30 AM - I just barely made it to work on time, as my dog threw up on the carpet and I had to clean it up.

    I arrive to a workplace that is, for lack of a better word, trashed. The dishes aren't done, the floors haven't been cleaned, and the drink dispensers haven't been wiped down. But it's nothing out of the ordinary.

    6:30 AM - The restaurant opens up, and we get the same construction workers and elderly people ordering the same items off the dollar menu. Mornings are pretty easy, they are slow, and I always opt to take out the trash so that I can get some sunlight.

    8:00 AM - My manager is doing dabs in the parking lot, and I can't join him because I am the only person left in the store. Now I have to work 5 positions at once. As usual, my manager takes his sweet, sweet time.

    8:20 AM - My manager gets back and is mad that our drive thru times plummeted from 2:15 to
    6:24. I explain to him that I was by myself, he retorts with, "if you can't work 5 positions at once, you shouldn't work here at all, chud." I sit in the corner and keep working drive thru while he resumes working the line. At least I get free iced coffee...

    1:00 PM - My manager waited until the end of my shift to send me on break, as he wanted to go first. But at least I get a break today. I have my 4th iced coffee of the day and some of the free food we get at work. I've put on 20 lbs since I started working here, maybe I should start packing lunches.

    2:00 PM - I finally clock out of work, time to go to my 2nd job.

    3:00 PM - I start doordashing around now, even though it isn't too profitable, I need money to pay rent.

    5:00 PM - I get lunch at McDonald's. I'm trying not to spend money, but I always forget to pack a lunch. At least I only order from the dollar menu.

    9:30 PM - Time to head home, I made about 100$ doordashing, not too shabby for a side gig.

    10:00 PM I lay in my bed and try to stay awake long enough to watch an episode of my favorite show stranger things, but I fall asleep in 10 minutes.

    OP that life sounds horrible. I've had a job before and I did not like it at all. The mentally worse job I had was working at a breakfast diner in a small town. THey had me on 3 15 hour shifts that would be like 6am to 9pm or 8am to 10pm

    SO the whole fucking day from before the sun came up to the after the sun went down I had to either be cooking food or waiting on tables for shit money. I remember drinking beer and having tears run down my face because my arthritis was bad back then and my knees and feet would hurt so much and I'd just be drinking my beer wondering if I'mma get fired (I was eventually made manager lol) for drinking on the job and at one point I had to do it for a couple months while I was in jail so I couldn't even drink beer and was just trying to lean on stuff and sit down in the blind spots (everything was on cameras that were moderately checked) and the then manager would be like "Why did you sit down for 20 minutes?"

    We were told we could get breaks when there was no one in the restaurant because in an effort to save money they would have 1 cook, 1 waiter--that's it mane.

    My body would hurt, my feet hurt, I would have a pounding headache and customers would come in and I'd have to stand up all prim and proper and say "Hi Welcome to George Webb's, I'm Breakfast Brad and I'll be your server today, would you like ea booth or a table. Alright, what can I get you to drink?" and go grab my pad to take orders on and just pray to God--*bell on the door tinkles with more customers*

    "Hi there folks, I'll be right with you." just knowing I got 45 minutes of bullshit ahead of me.

    Everyone I worked with preferred to be on the grill but I didn't like doing that shit as opposed to just talking to people and being nice and serving them. Eventually you get good enough friends with the regulars that when the food is being cooked, you can sit down and have coffee with them (especially if they're old or gay and by themselves.)

    The manager would be like "Don't let the customers see you sitting around, if you got time to lean you got time to clean." and like actually thought I would be the only server, hostess, help the cook, run the cash register, help with dishes, do prep cooking during lull periods, and clean for 4.50 an hour + tips lol

    Zoomers are low IQ but they can be put to work and they're like ants you just watch em go mindlessly in line

    That's all well and good though the mi//ennial generation is high IQ but doesn't work at all. And Gen X is the beevis and butthead generation they are low IQ and take up space. Baby boomers are mid-range IQ and tend to not work but rather take up space and resources what can you do tho.

    To summarize,

    Boomers: mid iq, takes up space/works but is useless
    Gen X: low iq, takes up space
    Mi//ennials: high iq, doesn't work for shit
    Zoomers: dumb as hell low IQ but are useable for work

    I've not had a full time job(like an actual job with a contract and specific hours) since my late teens

    I dont think full time employment is anywhere around the corner either and I'm perfectly happy and content with that shit.

    Could be dead or jail so just chilling on my.couch. I'm not harming anyone

    What's the question again?

    Even if everyone around you is fucking the dog and nobody gives a shit and even the bosses don't care, you should always take pride in the work. When the owners come and are aghast they can and will fire EVERYONE in the room chatting around the water cooler but they will come up and shake the hand of the one guy with the broom in the back actually working

    be that one guy. There is always one in every place and upper management only notices them.
