[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unbelievable.  A young woman in her first job out of college is complaining that having to commute to a 9-5 job, she has to leave by 7:30am and doesn't get home to 6:15 and then doesn't even have the energy to make dinner.  She laments that she doesn't have time for friends or "her life".

She should be glad that she only has an office job and not a laborer or factory job and that thanks to the way paved by labor unions in the past, that employers can only have a 40 hour work week without paying overtime (to non-salaried workers).   Gen Z is so amazingly entitled.

How is this entitled?

People don't want a life of working long hours out of the home, and tack on long commutes to that. She's realizing that this is her life now and, for lots of us, it sucks. Maybe she envisioned something else for her life. Maybe she wishes she could afford a place closer to work. Maybe she's realizing what she went to college for was a waste and she doesn't enjoy it.

Who are you to call her entitled for feelings that are valid? We work like dogs in this country and don't enjoy good standards of work/life balance on the whole. WHat is there for her to be excited about? That she's not a day laborer in the fields? Oh, ok. I guess if you set the bar that low then you have a point. But, you don't. [/quote]

Yes employers need to pay for commuting [/quote]
