Because they have made it a habit and understand that in order to be paid they actually have to generate value. They probably also realise that running a whole company just for the equivalent of a doctors wages isn’t worth dedicating your whole life when you can just work, fuck around, have fun and take the motorbike out on weekends with no stress

>I will work my whole life, carve out an investment portfolio so I can go to the beach when I retire

Regular person that lives by the beach
>I will go to the beach tonight after I clock out

It's just a boomer and gen X thing - "Work hard, go above and beyond, get yourself out there"
Millennials are more easy going - "Do what needs to be done, but I clock out the second I am able to"
Zoomers give no fucks - "What can I get away with not doing but still be paid"

For many reasons. From keeping your own thoughts at bay, societal and or family pressure, the culture and values they learned, shame and even for pussy. I know many boomers in my country who feel very proud, not of their work, but of how many years they paid taxes. Then, they have to wait for months for an appointment at the hospital, they have to wait for as long as the neet or the refugee. But they seem happy about that.

Is it a bad thing Gen X/Boomers actually care to be genuine about their work and do a good job? I swear you faggots are so fucking stupid and this is why the quality of work has gone down hill for everything. No wonder there are mass layoffs for bullshit work like tech.
Zoomers, especially female entry levels, are just retards who can't account for anything whenever they make mistakes and pretend nothing is their fault. We really want this good for nothing mentality in our work force, huh.

i hate my home life and work is a nice distraction. i often stay late just so i dont have to go home

>>58756792
Makes me wonder if I should even bother trying to promote and instead just get paid to mess around and quite quit.
>>58756861
Kek, I always thought it is dumb how many people in Europe say they pay 50 dollars for xyz health service. But have to pay 50% of there income into the system.
That aside flexing for paying taxes is dumb.
Flexing for tax "avoidance" is based.

>>58756913
what does it take to reach this level? genuinely curious

>>58756931
Getting married.

>>58756913
>>58756931

get married and find out

>>58756931
get married to someone you dont love

>>58757120
>>58757138
>>58757153
Why would you get married to someone you don't love? Knocking up a slut who refuses to use protection or get abortions notwithstanding.

>>58756792
>30 years later
>wow the beach kinda sucks

>>58757177
>he doesn't know the person he loves will eventually hate him

>>58757177
For a lot of people, everything changes once they have kids.

>>58757177

They change big time after you marry them.

>>58756775
You'll be the same way kid. Everyone is. Once you hit 40 you'll realize you don't have enough saved up for retirement and you're gonna go extra hard to make up for it

>>58757193
That is exactly me. I hate summer because of the tourists and the insane traffic to do basic things. I instead moved out to the desert to get my peace and quiet

>>58756775
>Why does anyone that is 40+ think that dedicating themselves entirely to their jobs is ok?
This makes me seethe, I've lived a pretty miserable life and I'm pushing 30 with no real future ahead of me. Everyone just keeps telling me to go to a trade school, break my body for 35 years, and then retire to whatever livable home I can afford and enjoy it while my body fails me.
What the fuck is the point?

>>58757283
It should and you should do something about it.

>>58756775
>noooooo why do people enjoy being productive and creating value nooooo they should be blackpilled hedonistic doomers who only receive dopamine from demoralizing others on the internet NOOOOOOOO

>He thinks showing up early to gossip, and talk about Sky's gymnastics tournament is creating value.
>>58757283
I would do it buy your aim should be to become a foreman or master within 7 years if you don't manage that then unironically you deserve it.

>>58756913
are you supposed to be bragging about your situation?

>>58756775
I had to start bringing the HR lady a bottle of Hennessy every once in while, ever since she busted me playing Fortnite in my office. I spend about 2 hrs in meeting everyday then hit the Xbox.

>>58757390
Kek
I would bring my boss coke and weed so he would let me sit and chill on the job.
Sadly he got fired.

BRUTAL marriage-pills ITT.

>>58757462
Imagine bagholding a nagging wife for the rest of your miserable life kek. Normies actually fall for that shit lmaoooo.

>>58757766
Cheaper to keep her is cope.

>>58757306
Like what, vote? I'd be better off gambling

>>58756792
>Regular person that lives by the beach
>>I will go to the beach tonight after I clock out
people who live by the beach see it as mundane. they certainly aren't all just going to the beach after work.

>>58756775
,to my rich anons ,does banging jap and thai whores and sitting in the beach get boring fast?

The older you get the more life sucks.

In your 20s or maybe early 30s it's easy to have a social life, after that everyone is busy with marriage and kids. Video games and other distractions no longer have appeal.

Work is one area where you can feel some sense of purpose and progress in life.

im 100% in crypto

I'm literally just waiting till the end of the year or 2025 when retail starts piling in so I can exit

This is the only time in my life where I wish time would go faster

>>58756775
I am 40 and I have no woman, I have no children, I have no house, I have no friends, I have no money and live paycheck to paycheck. When will my real life begin bros? I'm tired of the grind, I'm tired of this life, just very very tired that's all.

>>58757335
You would have a point if society and the political system in any livable country consisted of anything except extracting maximum value out of the middle class whilst importing as many "refugees" as possible.
At least if you manage to live long enough without becoming dependent on the system by virtue of having kids or marrying, there is no point in contributing to it. But by all means, keep scooping water out of this sinking ship with a bucket.

>>58757193
>>58757270
The beach sucks when you're 60 either way, you will never be 16 again and crushing on that one girl you don't talk to because you don't know how to talk to her or 35 and trying to fuck that 16yo because it's mexico and legal. You'll just be a fat old guy trying to bang hookers.

>I mostly see this behavior in people over 40
nah there are no shortage of 22 year old tryhards fresh out of undergrad that think they're real go-getters and hot shit

>>58756913
meanwhile THIS is the reason I typically think of when I see middle aged men staying late

basically I think the premise of your thread is deboonked

>>58756911
You're asking the world from kids who see no value in their work, see no future in it, and have no passion nor purpose in their life. With nothing to keep their head up, they can only see futility in people's situations.

>>58757354
I swear that show hit the bullseye on this board's demographic.

>>58756775
>Do they not have anything else to live for?

No. This is hell. You have to work that hard just to have the privilege to live paycheck to paycheck.

>>58756775
They didnt start a habit of investing early and now they have to pay the price and grind when they have a family, retirement and mortgage to pay for. Its a psychological coping mechanism so that they dont sit around in quiet and start listening to the voices asking them if this is all there is to life.

>>58759795
>Ikigai
Sounds like new age woo-woo...but I dig it. I would be content with
>World Needs + Good At + Love - Pay
Anyone who could find that hobby / passion / talent has found a precious treasure, and it doesn't pay because it's priceless.

>>58756783
>They probably also realise that running a whole company just for the equivalent of a doctors wages isn’t worth dedicating your whole life when you can just work, fuck around, have fun and take the motorbike out on weekends with no stress
They're dedicating most of their walking time plus extra free time for 2 days off. The company owner will work hard for a few years then retire much younger than the wagie

>>58757335
>creating value
that they don't profit from

>>58760336
I think he meant like a manager. Manager is the most cucked position because you take all the pressure, responsibility, and work for a company that isn't even yours. While the owner yeah might have risked the capitol or applied for grants/loans but literally just fucks off to Cancun.

>>58756913
this

guys with wives/families will understand

if your home is just you and your vidya game system + weed, then yeah, you'd probably wanna go home asap

>>58760351
i know it's hard to believe but a lot of people have good salaries and benefits

>>58757138
I've successfully avoided marriage and not one day do I regret it. You do have to live with stringing someone along who you will never put a ring on or even live with, but it seems better than the prison sentence that is marriage.

>>58760420
The key is to find some autist who's low maintenance, doesn't want kids but still contributes independently so you can still have your life while married. Good luck on that though. Most women want kids.

>>58760622
I can't believe how lucky I was to get with my sugar momma. Weeb, fit, enjoys vidya, doesn't want kids, makes very good money wfh, great cook. She's out there frens, believe.

>>58760655
Is your name jose

>>58760622
>>58760655
i feel ya sounds comfy but if i'm gonna be with a woman i think the whole point is to have kids
