Working Class #5-2023: Why I Left My Last Job

CORRECTION: I meant to say, “8 hours a day.” I incorrectly said several times in the video “8 hours a week.” Workers since the 1800s fought (sometimes died) to have an 8 hour workday so they could spend time with the families, rest and have a life outside of work

THIS VIDEO: I explain why I resigned from my last professional job. Don’t get me wrong. I like to work. I get off on doing the best job possible. My goal is always to work at the highest level I can. It makes me feel good. However, forced and coerced into doing shitty work by cheap or rip off employers and superiors is discouraging. That’s when I made the decision to pivot to something much more important than to just have a job and hate it.
