These days, people seem easily angry, especially at work. The workload has gone up, but the pay?... My assistant mentioned the other day that their pay was only increased by 50 cents. No wonder everyone’s frustrated.
People take it out on their coworkers, the ones they see every day, instead of the invisible corporate executives we never see who aren’t fighting for the “little guys” to make a decent living from their labor. The average CEO of a Fortune 500 company makes around $16 million a year, while the rest of us are trying to stretch every dollar to give it back to them for services and goods we need.
When was the last time you got a decent raise?
Meanwhile, the companies we buy from as stated above every day keeps raising prices on our daily essentials.
I just came home from Walmart after picking up some veggies, kale, cabbage, carrots, and a few cans of tomatoes, and it cost me $25. I shook my head. People are told not to complain, just work harder. The results? everyone’s walking around frustrated and angry at the system. Most healthcare institutions are now scrambling to find people to work because people are quitting because of being overworked and underpaid. And those who stays, the smallest thing can trigger someone because they’re already carrying so much that is burdening them.
That’s why I mostly keep to myself these days. If I accidentally bump into someone, I’d rather joke or apologize than risk an argument. People are looking for an outlet for their frustration, and sadly, that’s become normal both in public and at work.
Stay safe out there.
