Like many people, you probably follow the same path of getting some education, going out into the world, and finding a job. It is something that many people look forward to their entire life, but it doesn’t always turn out as expected.
That is seen in the case of a TikTok video that is going viral for more than one reason. It’s simply a woman who is discussing her first day at a 9-to-5 job, and she is not happy.
She unloads on the video and begins crying. The 21-year-old recent college grad is lamenting her first day of work and is reaching out to find out how anybody could possibly survive such a difficult schedule.
As you can imagine, there were some comments in both directions about what she had going on in her mind. Some people were telling her just to suck it up and go to work, but others were more sympathetic to the situation.
I think that all of us have probably been frustrated over the fact that we don’t have any time left at the end of the day. We may be able to get a few things in after a hard day of work, but considering the commute and everything else associated with the job, it basically sucks our life away five days a week.
Some others were commenting on how it was important that we consider a four-day workweek. That has come up on the table in times past and it is also a consideration in other countries, but in the United States, a 40-hour work week, five days a week, is still the norm.
In the end, she admits that she is menstruating, so she feels that may be why she is a little emotional. At the same time, however, it is probably a big change in life going from high school to college and then right into a career, and it can be a hard pill to swallow.
