I sense you bruh especially these jobs nowadays. I left my job last year after I graduated. One of the best decisions that I can make. About 2 years prior, I started peeping their hustle game and finesse moves that they were pulling on the employees by giving mountains of assignments to complete, and they'll even exalt about getting bonuses and work harder for a bigger bonus but they would never keep that same energy on salary raises. A couple of things that'll make me heated is one when someone trying to finesse.........I had an old white coworker that was at my old job. He worked there for 10 years. He started doing supervisor duties without the title because during this time; the previous supervisor had injured his shoulder and was out indefinitely. My old job was hiring for our department. They hired this young white kid. The old white coworker told the manager that he'll take the supervisor position since he has already been doing it for the past couple of months. Then about 3 months afterwards, the manager promoted the young white kid (with no experience) as the new supervisor. The old coworker asked the manager why he didn't hire him as supervisor and the manager said "because you're near retirement". That was the start of me, peeping the fuc sh*t from these companies. I said to myself I gotta get out of here because I know if he played an old white, loyal employee like it's nothing, then I know that the manager don't give af about me. I started getting my money right. After my coworker retired then A year and a half later, I sonned the manager in a meeting, told him that I'm out and left.
I had a coworker name Greg. Cool as nigga. We used to talk about empowerment, social justice, local things. You know barbershop talk. He been at my old job for over 2 years, working over everyday to complete assignments. My old job went from $2-$3 millions a year (back when I was still there) to $6 million a year (after I left). Guess what? even with an increase of $3-$4 million per year, they still haven't gave them any raise yet smdh.
Yes, it's very vital to have multiple streams of income. Your regular 9-5 job should be your main investor for aspirations and other streams of income. We were so condition to go work for someone else (Amazon hiring, Volkswagen hiring, Fedex hiring etc) but not one time say "What do YOU wanna do in life?" I be telling people "you gotta go after what you love to do. The money will flow like water. A job can pay a nigga $25 a hour, if it's not his passion, hard and stressful to deal with especially the atmosphere. Then eventually he is going to say fuc this job"......that money don't mean anything anymore. It's about being liberated. Also, be around like minded people that have the 1 percenter mindset. Me and of my childhood best friends were discussing about future business ventures. I told him "It took me awhile to get in a good position. Now I'm about to go get my land back". My bad about the titan graph, fam lol. This is a great topic that always keep me motivated and interested
