Young lady with glasses sitting at her desk frustrated

Not a lot of people are, but for some reason this Gen Z’er is not happy with her current 9 to 5 job! Her rant has gone viral, enough to where The Mike & Carla Morning Show had to share it this morning. And the feedback on it was not sympathetic.

Clearly this young lady is upset with the fact that she now has to work 9 to 5 Monday through Friday. And it’s obvious that she’s not setup for this, even though she claims to be a college graduate. She has made it clear that this lifestyle is NOT for her.

Now keep in mind that she works in New York City, the commute is killing her. Leaving early in the morning, getting home after dark. She has no time to workout or even date for that matter. In fact she noted that it’s pitch black when she gets home.

But let’s be honest, who really was prepared to work for a living? Knew what it actually took to keep up a certain lifestyle? Okay, maybe some of us, but it seems her parents did not prepare her for life after college. Told her that she has to prepare for life after school. Getting a job, earning a living…and most importantly, getting her own place.

Hey, we’ve all gone through it and who knows, had we had social media back then, we wouldn’t have done the same thing. But this girl is very dramatic and totally loves the word “like”. Not that we were counting, but she said it 25 times during the rant. Uh, that’s LIKE a lot of times!

So, listen to the segment from this morning, hear some of what some listeners thought about it and then feel free to tell us what you thought. You can do that through The M&C Mailbag at Mike&[email protected].
