A TikTok video of a young woman complaining about her work-life balance after getting her first 9-to-5 position after college—described as “Gen Z girl finds out what a real job is like” in an X post—has gone viral. But while many have perceived her rant to be about having to work, a closer listen shows it’s really about having to commute to and from the office—and what little time there is left in her day after that.
Many of them can last a single day being babied because it's their first day on the job - but then before they get any real responsibilities they'll reveal that they're doing an "undercover boss" shtick and propose a bunch of changes that make surface-level sense but won't actually work for reasons they haven't learned yet. Then they'll go on to self mythologize about how they've worked "on the line" even though doing on the job training with a CEO salary is in no way comparable to working for the actual wage for months or years.
