  1. 0:00You know, growing up, I always thought  getting a real job was the finish line. Like,
  2. 0:04that's it. You made it. Congratulations.  Here's your desk and your 401k, whatever
  3. 0:08that is. And now life just works itself out.  But alas, I was brainwashed. Brainwashed by
  4. 0:14on TikTok who glorify the [ __ ] out of this  life. How come nobody said anything about the
  5. 0:18corporate jargon and the 3* 3 cm pizza that's  supposed to make up for a missing bonus? So,
  6. 0:24today we're going over exactly why corporate  life probably sucks. First things first,
  7. 0:28the suffering starts way before you even  step foot in the office. Cuz to get a job,
  8. 0:32you need to apply. Bro, why is applying for a job  basically a part-time job in itself? Are you a
  9. 0:37Mexican? No. How about Hispanic? No. Military?  No. Are you Go ahead and hand over the resume.
  10. 0:44Let the AI have its way with it. All right. Now,  go to the next page and enter all the information
  11. 0:48you just gave us manually. Zero years of  experience. Don't you know this is entry- level,
  12. 0:52kid? The clanker already rejected you, by the  way. It's just waiting for you to hit submit.
  13. 0:57You sure you're not Mexican? Never committed  a crime? Explain it in detail. No. You got
  14. 1:01any felonies? Explain it in detail. No. You ever  killed a man? Explain it in. What race are you?
  15. 1:07Black, white, Asian, or a secret fourth thing?  Mexican, perhaps? You got to tailor your resume
  16. 1:12for every single application down to the last  minute detail. You got to write a cover letter,
  17. 1:16which let's be for real, nobody's reading that  [ __ ] Pouring your heart out on why you're so
  18. 1:20passionate about a mid-level logistics coordinator  position at a company you found out existed 3.4
  19. 1:264 days ago just for the hiring team to autodelete  your resume cuz you lack passion. Passion. There
  20. 1:30is no vision. There is no aggression. There is no  mindset. Oh. Oh. Oh, you have all those things.
  21. 1:36Oh well. Um, you know, the manager's daughter just  turned 18, so sorry. Sorry. Anyway, basically me.
  22. 1:44I'm supposed to convince a stranger I'm passionate  about supply chain optimization to pay my rent.
  23. 1:49And then after you send like 50 applications into  the void, if you're lucky, you'll get a response.
  24. 1:54Unfortunately, after you send like 300  applications into the void, if you're lucky,
  25. 1:58you'll get a response. First is an automated email  confirming they received your application, like,
  26. 2:03"Okay, cool, man. Thanks, Mr. Robot. I already  knew that. I was there. I was there." Then weeks
  27. 2:07of nothingness until randomly you finally get  a call for a screening interview with somebody
  28. 2:11in HR who's 100% going to ask you the exact same  five questions they got from LinkedIn. What's your
  29. 2:17greatest weakness? Stop right there. Stop right  there, everybody. That is called a trap. That's
  30. 2:21a trap. Everybody knows this question is fake as  you're really supposed to say a weakness that's
  31. 2:26secretly a strength. Like, oh, uh, I work too hard  and I I care too much when your actual greatest
  32. 2:30weakness is, um, the urge to dismantle someone  when they take your food from the share fridge.
  33. 2:36Anyway, um, let's say you survived the screening  call. Now, you got to do round two and round three
  34. 2:41and round four and round five for a job that pays  55 thaw a year. In this economy, that'll get you
  35. 2:47a, drum roll, please, a studio apartment. Enjoy  NFL Sunday while someone takes a [ __ ] in your
  36. 2:55living room. Anyway, four separate interviews.  One of them will be a random culture fit
  37. 2:58question where they ask you a weird hypothetical  question like, "If you were a kitchen utensil,
  38. 3:03what would you be and why?" Mhm. Mhm. What in  the everlasting are you talking about? Asking
  39. 3:08these weirdass questions just for you to spend  most of your time on Excel. And on top of that,
  40. 3:12sometimes they hit you with the unpaid assignment.  just do this little two-hour project for me real
  41. 3:16quick so we can see your skills in action. Is  this slavery? Am I being slaved away right now?
  42. 3:21You want free labor from me before you even  decide if you want to pay me for real labor?
  43. 3:24That's crazy. And they also ask you if you would  do this job if you weren't getting paid. I mean,
  44. 3:28no. That's why I'm applying. But, you know, you  got to say yes, master. Of course, master. Yes,
  45. 3:33master. I do it for the passion. Cuz we all know,  you know, landlords won't evict you if you have
  46. 3:36a passion working for free. Why do you want this  job? Well, um, I want this job because I just love
  47. 3:40helping people. Also, working with others towards  a common goal. Nice. Okay. Then you ask me, "Why
  48. 3:45do I want this job?" I'm like, "I need money."  I'm just a very outgoing guy. I also love to take
  49. 3:50initiative and taking leadership roles. I got gas.  You must not know. Take a lot of auto [ __ ] bro.
  50. 3:55For real. And after all that, you know what you  might get in return? Nothing. Just nothing. Yeah.
  51. 4:00Try sending in a thousand applications next  time, buddy. What is the job market like in
  52. 4:032026? I really wish I knew how to sell crap. But  okay, let's say you make it through all that. You
  53. 4:08actually land a job. Cool. Now, welcome to day one  and welcome to HR because that's really where the
  54. 4:13true corporate experience starts. HR is such an  interesting department to me because they present
  55. 4:18themselves as being there for you. Like they're  actually your friends and like they got your
  56. 4:21back. But bro, HR does not work for you. HR works  for the company and that's it. And you going to
  57. 4:27find out real soon the easy way or the hard way.  Their job is to eliminate threats to the company.
  58. 4:33So the second you got an actual real problem,  an issue with a manager, a genuine complaint
  59. 4:37about something unfair happening, you go to HR  expecting support. Hell no. They'll say, "Oh,
  60. 4:41we'll look into it." And somehow someway 6 months  later, nothing changed. But now everybody in the
  61. 4:46office mysteriously knows what you said in that  confidential meeting. Negative 80 team chemistry.
  62. 4:51Bring it up again and they might bestow upon you  a present, a brown box. Enjoy. That's wild to me.
  63. 4:56You're supposed to trust this apartment with your  most sensitive workplace issues. and it functions
  64. 5:00more like a PR firm for the company than an actual  support system for employees. Hi, I work in HR.
  65. 5:05We're a family. I fired three family members  this week. I'm not your friend. I'm the company's
  66. 5:10lawyer in a cardigan. I don't solve problems. I  make sure the company doesn't get sued for them.
  67. 5:15You came to me with a complaint. Now you're both  under investigation. But you wouldn't think that
  68. 5:19the way HR runs you through hours, literally hours  of mandatory training videos with a cartoon mascot
  69. 5:25explaining why sexual harassment is bad. Like,  bro, I know. Damn. Why do I got to sit down while
  70. 5:31someone tells me why enacting the culling games  is going to get me fired? Like, it's pretty much
  71. 5:34self-explanatory. What they should really put in  those videos are like the mini workplace rules
  72. 5:38these people set. Like, whose parking space is who  so I don't get death stared on the first day. And
  73. 5:42to top it all off, these videos always end with  a quiz. A whole quiz. If you were walking through
  74. 5:46the halls and saw Robert, would you a smack him in  the face? Bend him over and throttle his [ __ ] C
  75. 5:52flinch at him, or D greet him, G man, I wonder  which one. All of the above. And speaking of
  76. 5:58things that make corporate life miserable, let's  talk about the buzzword slop, cuz [ __ ] like this
  77. 6:01is just exhausting. Corporate people, for the life  of them, will not speak like normal human beings.
  78. 6:07They speak like aliens trying to fit in with  society. Everything's got to be dressed up in some
  79. 6:11vague, meaningless phrase that sounds important,  but says absolutely nothing. Every word that comes
  80. 6:16out of their mouth needs to engage and put more  fire into the conversation or they'll be having
  81. 6:20a chat with Rebecca after the Zoom call. Let's  circle back on this. Let's take this offline. I
  82. 6:25don't have the bandwidth for this right now. What  does this mean, bro? What does that even mean?
  83. 6:29Don't tell me to keep paying your mortgage, you're  forced to behave like a bot. Let's touch base. We
  84. 6:33need to leverage our synergies to move the needle  on this initiative. I don't even believe that the
  85. 6:37dudes who say these things even know what  they're doing. They smart though, you know,
  86. 6:40like if they speak vaguely enough, you can never  really be held accountable for not doing anything
  87. 6:44cuz technically you did circle back and you did  touch base even if absolutely zero progress was
  88. 6:48made. And I just feel for the poor poor intern  that has to sit through all of this. Oh. Oh,
  89. 6:54that's me. As some of y'all know or might not  know, I'm doing engineering. So, my dumb ass
  90. 6:58had to get a summer internship. I can't say the  company for obvious reasons. Just know it's the
  91. 7:03uh red and white social media platform used to  discover, save, and organize digital ideas. Uh
  92. 7:09connect the dots. Anyway, for some reason, it was  in person, but we still had these stupid ass Zoom
  93. 7:13calls where people who probably make 500K plus  a year get to waste their time spewing BS for
  94. 7:1945 minutes. I kid you not, unless you've seen  firsthand, you will never understand. These
  95. 7:24Tik Toks don't do it justice cuz it's not just  60 seconds. It's like 45 minutes non-stop of
  96. 7:30them just spewing nonsense. And after that, they  expect you to know what they were talking about.
  97. 7:34[ __ ] was so bad I started taking YouTube more  seriously doing weekly uploads and [ __ ] I said,
  98. 7:38"Fuh no, I ain't doing that [ __ ] for the rest  of my life. Hell no. Hell no." Everyone see my
  99. 7:41screen? Great. Let's kick things off with a word  from our CEO. Hey there, everybody. My name is
  100. 7:46Rick Rutled. I make five times your salary and  do half the work. and I'm here to tell you why
  101. 7:49you don't deserve to work from home. So, as you  can see on this graph, employee satisfaction and
  102. 7:53getting [ __ ] done are directly at odds with one  another. And as your corporate overlords, we tend
  103. 7:57to lean towards getting [ __ ] done. We took it  upon ourselves to study a local cattle operation
  104. 8:01to see how they manage their livestock. And what  we discovered was that the most efficient method
  105. 8:05is to pack as many animals as possible into as  tight a space as you can. And that's why we'll be
  106. 8:09giving each of you your very own cubicle. Not to  mention this earlier, but nobody's getting a bonus
  107. 8:13this year. Sayanara. And don't even get me started  on premeating. Yes. Yes, you heard that right.
  108. 8:19There's a meeting before the meeting. I don't  think you know what a bad day is. A bad day is,
  109. 8:27but you going to find out. Yeah, that's a  real thing that happens in corporate life. You
  110. 8:30got to have a meeting to prep for the actual  meeting so the actual meeting goes smoothly,
  111. 8:34which if you think about it means the whole point  of having an efficient meeting got defeated by
  112. 8:38needing two meetings just to have one productive  conversation. And then after the real meeting
  113. 8:42happens, guess what? They send a follow-up  email recapping everything that was already
  114. 8:46said in the meeting. So now you got a meeting  that could have been an email plus an email
  115. 8:50recapping the meeting that could have replaced the  meeting in the first place. Just a nasty, nasty,
  116. 8:54nasty waste of time and money. And now let's talk  about the propaganda. This fake ass happiness
  117. 8:58cuz I can't lie. This got me. It actually got me.  These Tik Toks glorifying this life have probably
  118. 9:03done more damage to society than the J word. What  do you mean I can't go into my car and have a
  119. 9:06Nikico avocado style mukbang for an hour without  getting terminated? What? What? What do you mean
  120. 9:11I can't be flirty with co-workers without going to  jail? What the? Another propaganda piece corporate
  121. 9:15culture demands is this constant unrelenting  positivity. No matter what's actually happening,
  122. 9:20company just did layoffs. We're so excited for  this new chapter. Streamlined efficiency. Bro,
  123. 9:25are homeless. Why do these company emails always  have so much enthusiasm for people going on food
  124. 9:30stamps and that fake plaster on positivity gets  exhausting real fast? Cuz you're not allowed to
  125. 9:35just be honestly tired at work. You got to perform  enthusiasm. You ought to act like you're thrilled
  126. 9:39to be there doing a task even though you would  much rather blow your [ __ ] smooth off. Cuz if
  127. 9:43you don't perform that enthusiasm convincingly  enough, suddenly you're the one with a bad
  128. 9:47attitude. And now Rebecca would again like to have  a conversation with you after the Zoom call. Oh,
  129. 9:51and when this fake positivity seems to not be  working, you know how the company fixes it? A
  130. 9:56pizza party. Yes. Ah, yes. The optional, but  not really. Unless you want that brown box a
  131. 10:01pizza party. Just what we need. Company misses  a huge deadline. Employees pulled overtime for
  132. 10:06a week straight. Morale is at an all-time low.  And how does leadership decide to fix it? Pizza
  133. 10:10in the break room on a random Thursday. Like a  couple boxes of cheap cardboard pizza are going
  134. 10:14to erase weeks of unpaid extra hours and stress.  And they have the audacity, the audacity to frame
  135. 10:19it like this huge generous gesture, too. Like as  a thank you for all your hard work this quarter.
  136. 10:24We're providing pizza in the break room from  12 to 1. Bro, you want to thank us? Give me
  137. 10:31a raise. Give me money. Give me money. I would  have preferred you just throw the coins you used
  138. 10:36on this slop at us instead like we're peasants.  Or just give us better hours. Anything. Give us
  139. 10:41actual tangible compensation for the hard work.  Not two slices of lukewarm pepperoni pizza that
  140. 10:46we got to eat standing up cuz sitting down means  you're not engaging with the get together and
  141. 10:50lowering team morale. And what pisses me off  is that some companies genuinely think this
  142. 10:54works. They actually think a pizza party is an  acceptable substitute for real appreciation. And
  143. 10:58they'll bring it up in the next town hall or in  the next meeting like they just did this generous
  144. 11:02act of corporate kindness. We really believe in  taking care of our team. Remember what we did,
  145. 11:06guys? Remember that pizza party? Remember that,  guys? And let's not forget the office layout,
  146. 11:10either. Cuz things like this just make me wonder  if companies just want their employees to be
  147. 11:14in hell at all times while on the clock. At  some point, somebody in a leadership meeting
  148. 11:18decided that removing all the walls and all the  privacy, all the personal space would somehow
  149. 11:23boost collaboration and innovation. when really  all they did was create an environment where you
  150. 11:27can't concentrate for more than 5 minutes without  somebody walking past your desk or somebody having
  151. 11:31a loud ass phone call two feet away from you or  somebody's keyboard clacking so aggressively you
  152. 11:36start questioning if that 401k is really worth it.  There's no privacy for anything. You can't even
  153. 11:40have a normal quiet conversation without the whole  floor hearing it. If they could, they'd build a
  154. 11:43toilet in public because it boosts employee  engagement asking someone else for more TP.
  155. 11:47You can't take a personal call without everybody  around you knowing your business. And somehow
  156. 11:51despite all this nonsense, you're still expected  to produce deep focus highquality work. Like the
  157. 11:56environment itself isn't actively working against  you the entire day. And then there's this thing
  158. 12:00called hot desking where you don't even get your  own permanent desk anymore or PC. You you just got
  159. 12:04to find whatever spot is open that day. Like are  you are you are you serious? Is this a workplace?
  160. 12:09Real [ __ ] Is this a workplace? This some [ __ ]  you do in high school. Also, we got to talk about
  161. 12:12business casual for a second. Um what is business  casual, you ask? I don't know. Don't look at me.
  162. 12:17Is it a polo? Is it a blazer with jeans? I feel  like every single office seems to interpret this
  163. 12:22phrase completely differently. Cuz during my  internship across the street was the red, white,
  164. 12:26and gold bank. And they would be wearing the most  craziest, ludicrous fashion I've ever had the
  165. 12:32misfortune of seeing. I mean, Supreme Headbands.  Come on, bro. Is Is this a good first impression?
  166. 12:37People spend way too much energy deciphering what  they'll wear to work because for some reason,
  167. 12:41corporate culture insists on this performance of  professionalism through clothing. Like looking a
  168. 12:45certain way somehow correlates to the actual  quality of your work. in high school because
  169. 12:49with swag were always the ones that did no work.  So, I don't get their point. It's just another
  170. 12:52layer of unnecessary pressure stacked on top of  everything else you already got to manage before
  171. 12:579 in the morning. But like I said in the beginning  of the video, I don't think you know what a bad
  172. 13:00day is cuz corporate email culture is genuinely a  unique type of tom foolery. I mean, it's basically
  173. 13:06chess. You ever notice how every email at work has  to be wrapped in such unnecessary politeness that
  174. 13:11the actual message gets buried underneath it? Uh,  hope this email finds you well. Okay, so I'm just
  175. 13:15going to skim through that just to be hit with  just fall in love on my previous email sent with
  176. 13:19just enough passive aggressiveness to let you  know that they are annoyed you didn't respond
  177. 13:22within 4 hours but not enough to actually say  um [ __ ] you didn't respond please respond and
  178. 13:27then there's the dreaded per my last email which  I assume most corporate adults know is corporate
  179. 13:32code for read. You clearly didn't read what I  sent you the first time and I'm mad about it.
  180. 13:36I see you playing unblocked games on my computer  30 ft away from me and I really want to walk up
  181. 13:40to you and gouge your eyeballs in but I got to  stay professional so I'm hiding my frustration
  182. 13:45behind three polite sounding words and you got  to respond nicely too matching that same fake ass
  183. 13:49energy unless you want to be forwarded to Rebecca  again. Will you try something new? Um Jay, any
  184. 13:53ideas for like improving our reach? Yeah, we could  reach for these nuts. Leverage this opportunity,
  185. 13:56right? So like uh any any any thoughts? No, not  really. Y'all I don't think conversion rate is
  186. 14:00a problem. I think we really need work on our  target audience. Target this dick. Let's take
  187. 14:03time to kind of identify every customer touch  point. That's a dick. Yeah. Yeah, Cooper, you
  188. 14:07make a good point. Okay. Well, we'll start back to  that. I also want to talk about code switching cuz
  189. 14:10depending on what race you are or actually not  really nowadays, but depending on where you're
  190. 14:14from, this will actually be the death of you. You  right now sitting at home thinking this is easy,
  191. 14:19you don't realize how many times you actually  say some [ __ ] or swear or say slurs without
  192. 14:23realizing. I didn't know how much I swore until  I started that [ __ ] ass internship and YouTube.
  193. 14:27It's exhausting. You basically have to become a  bot the second you walk in through those office
  194. 14:31doors. Having to perform a slightly different  version of yourself for 8 n hours a day and then
  195. 14:36switch back the second you walk out them doors  and get back to your actual life would probably be
  196. 14:40dangerous for a couple years. Like after a couple  years it would probably be dangerous cuz give it
  197. 14:45a few years and you might talk like how you talk  at work outside of work for the rest of your life.
  198. 14:49Like you might get stuck talking like that and  then you're actually cooked. Let's talk about
  199. 14:52performance reviews cuz these things just don't  work to be honest. Unless you work for Google,
  200. 14:55you know, if you work for them, you'll actually  get a raise out of this. For most people, you sit
  201. 14:59down once a year, sometimes twice, and you got to  somehow summarize an entire year of your work into
  202. 15:04vague categories like exceeds expectations, meets  expectations, needs improvement. And half the
  203. 15:09time, these ratings feel completely disconnected  from your actual performance. Cuz it's not really
  204. 15:13about how hard you work or how much value you  added. It's about budget. Companies only got
  205. 15:17so much money allocated for raises. So even if  you crush every single goal they set for you,
  206. 15:21sometimes you still get raided meets expectations  because giving everybody exceeds expectations
  207. 15:25would mean giving out more raises and the boss's  son losing out on free Christmas money. You know,
  208. 15:30at most places nowadays, they got unlimited  PTO. And this one's a trap, too. Sounds amazing
  209. 15:35on paper, right? Unlimited vacation, take off  whenever you want, right? But it's all again
  210. 15:39jutsu. It's all againu cuz I dare you to actually  take one of those days off. I dare you. Come on,
  211. 15:44do it. I dare you. You might come back to Rebecca  sitting on your seat like a super villain. You'll
  212. 15:49get to see HR in person. In practice, most  people with unlimited PTO end up taking less
  213. 15:54time off than people with a set number of days.  Cuz if there's a set number, there's a use it
  214. 15:58or lose it mentality. So people actually take  their a loted time. But when it's unlimited,
  215. 16:02there's this like unspoken rule, this vague guilt  trip built right into the policy where taking too
  216. 16:06much time off makes you seem like a lazy bum,  not a team player. You're not hungry enough. So
  217. 16:10people end up barely taking any time off while  the company gets to avoid paying out on unused
  218. 16:14vacation days when somebody quits, which they  legally have to do under a normal PTO system. The
  219. 16:18greed is immaculate. And another thing too, the  fact that for some companies it's a requirement
  220. 16:23to get LinkedIn is truly a human rights violation.  Every single post on that godforsaken platform is
  221. 16:29either somebody humble bragging about a promotion  the most snarky way possible or somebody turning
  222. 16:34a completely mundane life event into some  deep profound leadership lesson. I got cut
  223. 16:38off in traffic today this morning. And you  know, it taught me something powerful about
  224. 16:41patience in the workplace. Hey, hey, hey, [ __ ]  Nobody asked. My wife left me and took the kids,
  225. 16:45but I look forward to pivoting and scaling my  personal brand. Career tip: Never take PTO and
  226. 16:50always work through lunch. Your boss will notice  and give you a big raise. As with gratitude to
  227. 16:54share that I've been laid off. I want to thank  my company and co-workers for all the amazing
  228. 16:57memories. Unpopular opinion. Commuting to the  office is so much better than working from home.
  229. 17:01There's just nothing like circling back in person  and feeling that sweet synergy with your coworker.
  230. 17:07These bots are probably what these mandatory team  building exercises are targeted towards. And the
  231. 17:12reason these are so annoying is because it's just  so forced. Nobody builds genuine connections being
  232. 17:16told on a random Tuesday afternoon that you and  your co-workers got to fall backwards and trust
  233. 17:20each other to catch you or spend an hour building  a tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows to
  234. 17:25represent innovative thinking. Bro, half these  people don't even want to be friends with each
  235. 17:29other outside of work and now you're forcing  them into an escape room together. Like that's
  236. 17:33magically going to fix communication issues that  have existed for eons and it's always scheduled
  237. 17:37at the worst humanly possible time to like right  when everybody's actually got work piling up cuz
  238. 17:42you know this is a workplace but nah stop whatever  the [ __ ] you're doing and go do trust falls in
  239. 17:46a conference room for 30 minutes straight. Oh oh  oh and company culture being used as a replacement
  240. 17:51for actual tangible benefits. He could only  have gotten that idea from Benjamin Netanyahu.
  241. 17:56Companies love love love to talk about culture.  We got a great culture here. Culture fit is so
  242. 18:02important to us. And what that actually translates  to in real time is we can't pay you as much as our
  243. 18:07competitors. But uh hey, we got a ping- pong table  in the break room. Bro, I don't want a ping- pong
  244. 18:11table. I want a livable wage. I don't want to  be a slave. I don't want a casual Friday where
  245. 18:15I'm allowed to wear jeans. How about not being a  slave? Companies have gotten so good at replacing
  246. 18:20real meaningful investments in their employees  with cheap surface level perks that look good in
  247. 18:24a recruitment video but do absolutely nothing to  improve people's actual lives. free snacks in the
  248. 18:29break room, bean back chairs, a wellness Wednesday  where they send you an email suggesting you take a
  249. 18:34walk like, "Wow, man. Thanks. This will definitely  solve my crippling depression." None of that
  250. 18:38actually addresses the root causes of burnout  or fixes understaffing or fixes unrealistic
  251. 18:43deadlines. It's all again jutsu. Moa should have  won. And actually works at distracting people,
  252. 18:47too. I mean, at least for the first two months  from how little they're actually getting
  253. 18:50compensated for what they give the company. You  can give a company 40, 50, sometimes 60 hours a
  254. 18:55week of your actual life time you're never getting  back. And in exchange, they give you a foosball
  255. 19:00table and a company hoodie. And in exchange,  I walk in there with an AK-47. Resist. Resist.
  256. 19:04Resist the urge to walk into your boss's office  with an AK-47 and just continue working for free
  257. 19:10for 40 years. Hit me. Hit me. Hit me. I love I  live for this type of [ __ ] But let me know.
  258. 19:18Hit me. Hit me. Hit me. I knew it. Hit me. Hit me.  Hit me. Hit me. Get up. Ain't nobody shooting at
  259. 19:24y'all. Get up. Get up. Nobody shooting at y'all.  Nobody shooting at y'all. Get up. Shoot me though.
  260. 19:30Shoot me. Homies talk about being like a family  but failed to realize families won't fire you the
  261. 19:35second quarterly numbers dip. You know, families  won't lay you off over an email on a random
  262. 19:39Tuesday morning while simultaneously posting  on social media about record-breaking profits
  263. 19:44the same day. Real families don't operate like  that. So, when a company calls itself a family,
  264. 19:48what they really mean is, uh, we want the loyalty  and emotional labor you'll give an actual family
  265. 19:53without any of the actual protection or security  that comes with being in one. Families won't
  266. 19:56replace you with AI and give you UBI for eternity.  That's all I'm saying. We are cooked. If there's
  267. 20:01a lesson buried somewhere in all this yap is that  corporate companies, generally speaking, are not
  268. 20:04designed around your well-being. They couldn't  give two about you, they'll sell your soul for
  269. 20:0982 cents. The sooner you realize all they care  about is money, the better. YouTube. Also, I'm not
  270. 20:14saying every single job is miserable. Don't blitz  me. I know plenty of people who generally enjoy
  271. 20:18their work and like their co-workers even a little  bit too much, but that usually happens cuz they
  272. 20:22got lucky with a good manager and a good team.  Anyway, that's about it. Comment some corporate
  273. 20:26horror stories from your own job or someone you  know. Follow the [ __ ] Twitter. I'm legit. I'm
  274. 20:31legit begging. Please, please, just just one  follow. Make an account and delete it. I just
  275. 20:34need it cuz like, you know, if YouTube trips out,  which you've probably seen from many creators,
  276. 20:38they've been tripping for the past month. I got  a place to update y'all. And also, subscribe.
