Your job isn’t about work. It’s about obedience.

You wake up tired, commute half-dead, sit at a desk pretending to work, and then go home just in time to be too exhausted to do anything meaningful. Repeat until retirement or death.

Who the f-ck decided this was the best way to live?

Oh right, some industrial-era corporate overlords who needed factory workers to function like well-oiled cogs in a machine.

🚨 NEWSFLASH: You don’t work in a 1920s steel mill. You work on a f-cking computer—a device that can literally automate half of what you do. But here you are, chained to a desk for 40 hours a week, because some fossil in a suit refuses to admit that most jobs could be done in four hours or less.

👀 WORK ≠ PRODUCTIVITY. IT NEVER DID.

Your boss doesn’t actually care about efficiency. They care about control.

🔴 Finished your work early? Congrats. You get MORE work. 🔴 Left with nothing to do? Find something. Or fake it. But don’t you dare look idle. 🔴 Burnout? Not their problem. That’s what caffeine and unpaid overtime are for.

Half of you reading this are doing “work” that has no real purpose—bullsh-t tasks designed to justify keeping you locked in for 40 hours. You’re not an employee. You’re a hostage.

⏳ WHY THE SYSTEM WON’T CHANGE (EVEN THOUGH IT’S STUPID AS F-CK)

1️⃣ If your job only takes a few hours a day, they can’t admit it.

Because then you’d realize you don’t need them as much as they need you.

2️⃣ Keeping you busy keeps you compliant.

Tired, distracted people don’t question the system. They just show up, shut up, and work.

3️⃣ They dangle “success” in front of you like a f-cking carrot.

“Put in the hours and you’ll get ahead!” Spoiler: You won’t. The CEO works less than you do and makes 500x your salary.

🤡 "BUT YOU GET TWO WHOLE DAYS OFF!" WOW, THANKS.

Let’s do the math: 🛑 Five days of work. 🛑 Two days of “freedom” (which is just pre-Monday anxiety). 🛑 Zero days where you actually feel rested.

That’s not work-life balance. That’s a f-cking hostage situation.

And don’t even start with "just take PTO!"

You earned that time off, yet you feel guilty using it.

You’re expected to stay reachable while on vacation.

Some companies literally pressure you into not using it, because “We really need you right now.”

B-tch, you needed me? Where was my raise then?

🔥 THE BOTTOM LINE: THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED.

⚡ Most jobs could be done in half the time. ⚡ Technology has made the 40-hour week obsolete. ⚡ But they’d rather waste your life than admit it.

You are not being paid for your labor. You are being paid to sacrifice your time.

And when your time is gone, you don’t get it back.
