definitely.
but at my age my parents stressing that you gotta survive. i be on my intellectual property/creative pursuit (beats clothes etc.) and they be on some **** like 'thats all fine and good but you gotta pay bills and eat until that takes off'
****s scary how you can one day be trying to get on your feet just paying bills and eating consistently and then you start waking up to those age milestones like 30, 35, 40, etc.

Miss me with this nonsense. Would you rather get paid . 30% less and have more vacation days? There are tradeoffs.I think it sucks how the US doesn't have mandatory paid vacation like all the other 1st world countries in the world

LOL Ok bro....I have a trash job
All those countries pay less than the US for the same work. The reason all those countries have paid vacation is because of HIGH taxes and very pro-labor laws which causes private companies to pay less......

I get it, I am speaking to the graph that I quoted though, not fair to speak on how much paid vacation other countries get without mentioning the tradeoffs imo.....

I was taught at an early age that you earn your way through life. I have zero fear of working that entire time. I have all the benefits and VT you can ask for really. But I have earned it. The mind set of going to work is all wrong. People look at it as some sort of sentence you receive as punishment. When in reality its a requirement in life. Period. Its your mental approach about work is what drives your mind set. You got two options, coast or try to be the best you can at what you do.
I have worked at the same factory for 20 years. And have seen people take both of those roads. I am doing the same **** I did nearly 20 years ago but with a mountain more of responsibility. Professionally and personally. What I will say is that people that hate working so much are more miserable than people that actually have self goals and daily try to reach them. Do I believe I will work ALL my life? Yes. Afraid? No. My bad habits will catch up to me. The biggest challenge we face at the job is not the job. Its the people that dont want to be there because they think life is owed to them. The guy thats miserable at 45 has the wrong mindset. Mindset is driven from the individual worker. Not the place of employment.

That’s because Both of those exact corporations aren’t always thinking about Maximising profits year after year. The owners are good guys that respect their employees. And they’ve gotten flak from wall street... “you’re making us all look bad” And yes I agree my Costco got the same people year after year because top to bottom they care about their employees. Unlike amazon that has had workers die on the shipping warehouse floors and told workers to walk around the corpse.
Top Costco Shareholders
The top Costco shareholders are Craig Jelinek, Charles Munger, Patrick Callans, Vanguard Group Inc., BlackRock Inc., and State Street Corp.
Costco CEO Craig Jelinek Leads the Cheapest, Happiest Company in the World
Costco’s CEO furnishes his boardroom with faux-wood tables, has no PR staff, and doesn’t offer customers shopping bags—but he does pay employees a fair wage. Now that his formula is pleasing Wall Street, will other companies follow?
