This is 100% the fault of what they’ve been taught in the Government Indoctrination Centers. Self esteem, feelings, etc.
Welcome to the REAL WORLD where you bust your ass and reasonably expect nothing in return but a paycheck.

If you want to go, “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” then do it. But expect nothing in return.
Sorry, I’m really fed up.

I mentally participated a grueling 3.5 hrs nfl game. I should get a trophy, in fact I deserve to be paid like a professional football player.
