Why do we still treat most people like factory workers
It's 2025

Saw a driver (almost) slept through a green light.
Reminded me how many people coast through toxic jobs.
It’s 2025. Why do we still treat most people like factory workers?
Stop normalizing:
- “That’s just how this field is.”
- “But they pay well.”
Vote with your hours.
Go where you’ll thrive.
Ask yourself: For what?
To collect all kinds of illnesses before 40?
A few months ago,
I left corporate without a back up plan.
Now:
- I have new ideas
- My energy is back
- I crushed my job
Because I knew:
When work feels like play,
You'll achieve what others can't.
So take that risk, while you still can.
The safest path is gonna hurt you the most.
