Why You're Doomed to the 9-5 Trap | Charles Bukowski

Always love what you have to say bro, but I do have to point out Harper lee’s friends did the same deal. That’s how she wrote To kill a mocking bird.

I’ve been sacrificing my sleep just to have some free time. Been doing this for years now. I work far from home. So I get 3-4 hours of free time before I have to go to bed to get 8 hours of sleep. By the time I get home. I usually have 2 hours left. By the time I get done with family asking me to do something. I get 1 hour. But the time I take a shower and just try to take a break It’s 9 or 10pm when I should be going to sleep. Instead I so badly want my free time that I’d rather sacrifice my sleep to just play some cod mw or just watch something till 12. I’m digging my self in a hole I can’t find a way out. If I quit my job that I enjoy doing, I worry I won’t find a job nearly as fun, or in the repair industry as I currently have, but will pay more and be closer to home. It’s a balance I can’t figure out.

It is ok fornme to do 9-5 work... as long as my familly can eat and live a good life...

Our world now is Capitalism weather you want it or not....

It's All Maya-Cosmic WEB Mahamaya OF God From ITS HIGHEST Dimension TO CONTROL HUMAN N OTHER SPECIES Evolutions After Evolutions AS A TOOL N Mechanism TO DO Individual Karma's IN THIS EARTH DIMENSION OR OTHER Celestial Dimensions AS EXPERIMENT FOR ITS MENTAL Satisfaction AGES AFTER AGES WHETHER Positive Or Negative,PURE OR IMPURE DHARMA N Adharma ETC

Capitalism isn’t the future. Endless growth on a finite planet is unsustainable, even when we move to other planets we need a sustainable system to have two planets instead of ruining both with Capitalism.

Democratic Socialism

Anarcho-Transhumanism

Aging is a Curable Disease

I work as a network engineer and recently have been working with a network architect on solving some fundamental issues on the network. During our project a close family member of theirs passed away. They were supposed to take time off to grieve but never did and just kept working. This was a powerful reminder to me of what I never want to be. This person had a family member pass and all they could do was keep working 14-16 hour days.....

Jesus Christ, what's you guys' problem with 9-5 jobs anyway? If everybody in a 9-5 job would immediately would quit today, you guys will feel that very quickly when you have to do a lot of stuff by yourself that others do for you now. Stop looking down on the people that help you make your life more comfortable!

Wow, great video! It's amazing to see how cryptocurrency can provide a reliable passive income stream for investors. I think it's really important for us to keep our safety in mind and focus on our primary goals when investing in cryptocurrency. I found Maria Williams trading strategy to be really helpful and have personally seen great results, accumulating 32btc in just three weeks! She truly is the best cryptocurrency signal provider out there and her strategy is a game-changer.

The comment “they become resentful when they feel they aren’t making what they should be at work” is not quite the truth. Truth: People become resentful when they realize they’ve worked their asses off for decades while being screwed over by a system that pays a fraction of the profit generated by the worker, to the worker, while giving the lion’s share to those who simply have the power to unjustly take the lion’s share. Which doesn’t justify murdering coworkers of course. But let’s tell the truth here at least…

This isn't so bad. How would you like to be Chinese and trapped in 9-9-6.

So Matrix does exist

I think the content is making from AI

"On 19 May 1869, President Ulysses S. Grant issued a National Eight Hour Law Proclamation."

Are you kidding me...150 years later and humans are still throwing their life's away slaving 40+ hours a week for what...

Im optimistic for an eventual ascension of man and maybe that involves AI lol

the fastest way to escape the Rat Race is by building your financial literacy

I feel like I am one of the few ones who actually like the job I have. I wake up and feel excited, I'm curious and I feel that I am making a change. If I had the same salary for doing nothing I would feel useless.

Life is like life. As biological beings we adapt to the physical environment, well as intelligent humans we should adapt to the nature and rules of society, by finding ways to perceive things beneficially. Some things we cannot change, so instead we should focus on the aspect of that thing we can change which is our view of it. Something like directed perceptual adaptation. This malleable layer of our lives is so key, and a gift, but quite hidden to most.

I've tell my husband that we really needed to work on doing nothing better. Because usually despite what we are doing. when you are asked what are you doing. the majority of the time the answer is "nothing". but unless you have been asleep or just that deep of a state of "mediation" aka literally the art of existing. Practicing just being in this moment as you are alive. Breath in breath out. you are usually multiple tasking on a far more failing level than we ever should have been asked to attempt. So much so that children theses days believe that the hole world would literally stop rotating if they had to wait on anything in this day and age. We have been condition in public schools to be the good little workers just like ford needed back then. Snowballed us with this faster and faster pace in an ever expanding universe in this age of technology it's no wonder our mental health of humanity has spiraled so out that not even our children that could have had a hole life time ahead of decided to shoot there way out. And with their parents being the same products of those public schools failing systems are at the least threatened with punishment for parents who needed to allow their children to not go to school for their child's life. But I have never heard this brought up after a school shooting. Because he who has the money has the power. Unless you have the means to stand up to said power than you have a revolution. But what can you do? When your hole existent has been a lie.. but I fear I am rambling or possibly i just need to jump in the shower. Lol❤aperture

By 2030 you will own nothing, live in a rented cell, spend your free time in a VR fantasy, eat bugs, and be drugged to be productive and "happy"...

It is BS and leads to nowhere. Just be with your children etc. And hope they find a way to escape this and not waste their lives.

I will free myself from this servitude, in due time.

It is a shame WE will NOT be Alive to see advanced A.I fix the money issue.

Already, I’m thinking of a healthy and fulfilling job for my future. I don’t want to be faced with the reality of working and stressful or depressing job.

I hate being told what to do so 9-5 is not for me. I discovered gig work like Uber and Doordash and been much happier no boss trapped in office same coworkers gossip politics bullshit…

I don’t mind working as long as the pay is livable, and proper PTO is provided. The fact America has no mandatory vacation law is absurd, and needs to change.

The root of all evil, in contemporary society, is filthy rich people.

This! HahahA. 😗😉😌

There are messages like this, and then there’s messages like Dave Ramsey. Someone just tell me what to do.

Im trying to do my own thing, but its all about ur mindset regarding a 9-5 or anything else for that matter. My way of coping with a regular job is to see it as a stepping stone for something better and developing a mindset of a more humoristic approach to life, to just observe the ant colony of humans and make up jokes in my mind. To think about the absurdity of life and not let any existential dread drag you down, its all in your mind

Work-life balance is an oxymoron. Work in its modern iteration is antithetical to life.

a work day should only be 4 hours, you should have the rest of the day to yourself, this way you don't get fed up of the job and it will be fun to do, you will look forward to it in fact. also there will be work for everyone since companies will need employees for 8 hours per day.

Not everyone becomes ugly though.
Some people age gracefully well into their 70s.

If you choose to become an entrepreneur I would stress that you will often be working evenings and weekends and long hours. The crucial difference to being a 9-5 slave is that those extra hours are making money for YOU! Why toil to make someone else rich???

I like him, but he was always selling himself as the victim. He advertised himself as such. Pity, is this what he wanted?

work will set you free

Anybody else have an issue with the "tax"? You know, the way that employers give you a lunch but always insist that you stay 8-12 and a half hours instead of just 8-12, becuase they gave you a lunch out of the "generosity of their hearts" and now you gotta make it up. What about the 2 hours i spend getting prepared/commuting to the damn place?

I like what this one guy said the less we spend the more we have to make. I’m really letting that sink in while I put money up. Eventually you break the chains

Not me I got autism so im on disability 🎉

I only work 3 days a week, so I work 1 day and I'm off the next. In other words, I never work more than 1 day without being off work the next day, lol. I refuse to give anymore of my time/life to this system than I absolutely have to. I get by just fine too, because I live debt free.

"Cognitive dissonace"
Shit man, Inthink you just nailed the meaning of life. Modern life atleast.

I've had around a dozen different "low-level" jobs in a few different states; and there seems to be very few of us who seem to realize that the corporations that run the world and rule over our collective realities are TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THOSE OF US ACTUALLY DOING THE ACTUAL WORK. What is it gonna take to disrupt us from our giant slumber? Why do we allow these unqualified con-artists to rob us of a meaningful existence?

The commentary nothing about the long hours of farm work.

Somebody kill me

2 months ago I quit my J.O.B. to launch a freelance venture. My blood pressure is lower than it has been for years. I don't dread the start of each day. I don't say "thank God it's Friday."

This is why I'm not entirely against AI taking work. The problem is if we do get shorter work weeks the company will likely just cit your salary as well.

"Happiness at work" is a fool created
