Gen Z girl MELTS DOWN over 9-5 job, but does she have a point?



A 20-something Gen Z girl broke out in tears on TikTok after learning that the nine to five grind isn’t all fun and games.

“This is my first job, like my first nine to five job after college, and I’m in person, and I’m commuting in the city, and it takes me forever to get there. There’s no way I’m going to be able to afford living in the city,” she told the camera.

The girl also claimed she has no energy to cook or workout and no time for friends or dating.

“I’m like so stressed out,” she sobbed.

Jason Whitlock has a surprising take on the TikTok.

“I’m somewhat defensive of this woman,” he tells Shemeka Michelle, who doesn’t disagree.

Shemeka recalls being a biology major in college and telling people she wanted to be a doctor while her heart was actually set on something else.

“But really, I want to be a housewife,” she tells Whitlock. “And like you said, it’s against nature, and they can’t figure out why they’re so unhappy — that’s why. Be at home, get you a man.”

“When you do a job or get involved in corporate America,” Whitlock responds, “you’re taking on someone else’s burdens and responsibilities and giving yourself a whole new set of problems that maybe you’re just not that passionate about.”

Whitlock believes the video is a symptom of America’s move away from “traditional family structures.”

“If things were working properly, our grandparents would probably at some point come live in our house, we would be married, we would have kids and the grandparents actually would take part of the load,” he explains.

“The whole system is out of whack,” he continues, “and I look at this young woman and she’s stressed, she’s got anxiety issues, she’s overburdened because our entire family structure has broken down.”
