Absolutely true

The modern day 9-5 job has become a recipe for burnout! It has become a Fast-paced work environment with little to no breaks in between work - Strict deadlines and multiple tasks to juggle all at once - High customer service expectations from the client all the time - Long commutes in traffic (up to 2 hours!) leaving you spent - Repeat this cycle day whole week in and day out, with no end in sight And to make matters worse, some countries are even adopting a 9-6 workday! Moving away from the 9-5 working hours.

you say all truth, in Germany and Croatia is the same, before they were better and tried to introduced person to a job slowly and now they fire people for a single thing like not having understood something in the first 2 months - immediatelyfire instead of organizing short training by senior coleagues!

I really supppot the ineffecient manager point , as i have personally seen now a days not MNC but many startups tends to hire untrained , underqualified , managers for cost cutting and that what leads to massive organization politics wrong feesbacks ,wrong hiring , and frustrated subordinates who leaves organization because of them , lots of firing and organization face huge losses in pre sales , winning recurring contracts too Thanks for video and bringing lot of good points

Apart from US, many European countries also have quick fire policy like 7 days or 15 days layoff. But it should be noted that people in these countries get payment from government everyday even if they are jobless and useless. e.g. Finland pays Euro 37 per day to each jobless citizen of their country. Thats the reason such countries charge 50 to 60% income tax on the gross income including for expats. But in India half the money collected by the government goes in corruption and the other half is diverted to either industrialist or below poverty line schemes to lure their votes. A working middleman gets only peanuts. Apart from investment, family support and some basic education & skill, there is no booster for a common man in this country. Even with your friends and social network, not everyone would willingly help you because either they can't or you are their competitor at some point of time.

Listen gone are the days staying loyal to any job because loyalty is a two-way street. Companies really soured that relationship so why stay loyal to them. Also always have multiple sources of income never allow a job to be your only source of income.

Well in Singapore, it still takes 2-3 years to fill up some positions.

Yes “invest in skills not in your company”. However company reaps benefits when skills are put to good use. Win-win situation for individual and company health or co worker health

Yes mam all information is so helpful for me as a post graduate fresher. I am a nutritionist but working in sales and marketing department of a global company. Hence ended up getting a few skills for marketing as well as sales. Just 2 days back my boss indirectly asked me to change the job indicating that I dont have any growth in the current company. I am searching for better opportunities as well. I also know a health start-up in India which hires freshers in bulk and fires them in bulk in just the duration of 4-6 months. I dont know about other fields but for my profession of nutritionist, the job market is really fluctuating. I don't know what to do. It gets really confusing at such times to make a decision.

Best advice while you are in the job try to create asset for you. Like smart investing, try to have your own home ASAP. Once you laid off these asset will help you more than upskilling. Try to create passive income source by investment or creating asset. Upskilling looks great on paper. While in reality nobody wants to take chance if you do not have prior experince. Learn whatever comes in your way while being in the job. It is very difficult to get job after getting laid off. Switch while being in the current job. Do not spend more than 5 years in the same company if you are not getting promoted.

I wonder what will happen if US and India salaries converge. You can hire a remote experienced software engineer from West Virginia or Mississippi for about USD 40K per annum (USD 20 per hour). Even at the same pay rate, sometimes a company might prefer an Indian software engineer because they are more loyal and obedient. For example, a US worker is likely to prosecute wage theft where an H1B would likely tolerate it. One common method of wage theft is being required to work off the clock and not report the hours. Such a scenario is more like 9 to 8, not 9 to 5.

In my previous company I used to work 7 days a week I used to give 95% of my time for the company but still they fired me now I have started my own business and I am very happy 🙂
