This is really bad. I’ve always annoyed how Canada didn’t follow America down the security surveillance hold.

Creepy but this would be very helpful. Hopefully it’s on device instead of the cloud.

He’s definately working more than that.

Yeah unfortunately once you hit a certain age your stuck as nobody will hire old guys unfortunately

But somebody has to design, build and maintain them. If I was young I would go into robotics. My best buds son is doing great in this field.

I never said it wasn’t worse. My initial complaint was the quality of workers showing up in the workforce now that don’t want to work. My experience isn’t with the bottom rung.

For sure the bottom rung is getting screwed which is why they need strong unions again. Look at the rest of the world. Raises should always be increasing above inflation and if not then it’s time to organize.

I mean you could never survive on minimum wage but it’s much worse now.

Went through three distinct careers in my work time. Needed to stay up with the times.

Get a skill that pays well. Only takes a few years.

Those 2 generations fight to get that. I remember cars being burned and flipped during strikes when I was young. This generation needs to do the same. Now when people go on strike everybody hates on them. Our grandparents put their lives on the line to get pensions, weekend, overtime pay etc etc. People now are letting it all slip away. Time to stop blaming the ones that got it and start blaming the ones letting it go.

Imagine an economy where everybody had that attitude. We would be eaten by foreign countries and then you’ll see real hardships.

And then cry when the country falls apart because too many people are like you.

Privilege… Lol. My wife and I worked fucking hard. Always had multiple jobs, saved and saved. Worked all the overtime. Lost half of everything in the 90s. Recovered and lost a third again in 08. Definately not privileged.

Look around you in that corporate structure. See any people your age? Ask yourself what they are doing right.

You’re hired

Perfect example of the defeatist attitude. Btw it’s not an ancient system. Didn’t even exist in my grandparents time. Neither did the concept of a weekend.

You guys are the majority now. Make the changes you want.

I think you got to spend too much online if this is the mental attitude you have. There’s tons of opportunity and good jobs and unemployment is crazy low right now. Like I said, get yourself a skill or a trade and there’s a shit pile of money to be made and as much work as you’re willing to do. I mean it took me and most of my friends into our forties to really accumulate anything, but I feel like the people on here think they should be rich or that every boomer was rich in their thirties. That’s very bizarre and a big disconnect from the reality that it actually was for many

Also Gen x

Retired a few back but keep in touch with the higher ups as well. You’re completely wrong with that statement. Many people get rewarded for hard work. But in order to get rewarded, do you have to be the one that is seriously helping the company. If you’re talking about the bottom of the worker pile then you have to do something to stand out. In my case I started off building on the factory line. Saw what they ran for computer systems. Trained myself at my own expense to learn them and ingrain to myself Socially with the people that ran them. Hard work isn’t just the physical part. It’s also the mental part and most importantly the social part. So much of business is social and if they don’t know who you are they’ll never know the hard work you’re doing or how beneficial you are to the company. If you are, that is.

You don’t need any of that to be successful. You just need a skill that pays and a willingness to work.
