She’s just doesn’t give a shift.
Sticking to a strict, stifling work schedule wasn’t Grace Sarah’s vibe. So, the Gen Zer up and ditched her 9-to-5 without a sizable savings or a sound game plan.
“I just quit my job to my boss’s face,” Sarah, a 20-something from Australia, confessed to a TikTok audience of more than 226,000 stunned viewers.
“I told him that the $1,800 a week was not worth it,” continued the brunette, who purportedly held a position in investment property sales.
If she did earn that salary, the youngster’s annual income exceeded $93,000.
“I have no idea what I’m going to do, but I’ve got six weeks to figure it out,” said a crestfallen Sarah, “because that’s how much I have left to pay my rent.”
And now, as a consequence for sharing her sob story online — where virtual vultures love pecking at “lazy” Gen Zers with seemingly weak work ethics — she’s having to pay the piper.
“That was not clever,” a critiquing commenter wrote, bashing Sarah’s questionable career move.
Many others piled on, too.
“Eggs are $20,” spewed a separate sourpuss, noting the troubling economy.
“[You’re] young and drastic,” rebuked another.
“You are lost,” scolded a critic. “Your generation is loopy and expects too much too quick.”
“Kids these days,” another groaned, punctuating his frustration with the facepalm emoji.
“You’re gonna regret this,” wrote an equally pessimistic cynic, echoing a doomsayer who forewarned Sarah about “failure.”
“$1,800 a WEEK is too good — what?” another questioned.
Clapping back at the digital jabs, Sarah explained that her handsome salary “wasn’t worth the personality points I would lose staying [on the job].”
She later added that “the job was good, the boss was not” in the comments section beneath a subsequent post.
However, unfortunately for the newly unemployed zoomer, bosses worldwide don’t necessarily view themselves as the bad guys of big business.
In fact, a recent poll revealed that most captains of industry consider their Gen Z employees — folks ranging in age from 18 to 26 — “too easily offended” and inept.
And it doesn’t help that a number of those newcomers to the workforce are tapping mommy and daddy to fill out their job application forms and accompany them on interviews for moral support.
It’s the era of “Peter Pan” adults — grown-ups who never want to grow up.
The rising generation’s presumed lack of ambition aside, a slew of supporters rushed to Sarah’s side, lauding her for leaving a job that left her unhappy.
“Money is not worth your mental health,” chimed a backer, who praised the belle for valuing her well-being over her wallet.
“Proud of you,” cheered another.
“Sometimes,” added a kindly commenter, “you can work in environments that make it feel like it’s not worth it.”
