An influencer named Brielle shared a video of herself collapsing after an 8-hour day at her new job. “I just want to take a shower, have dinner and go to sleep,” says Brielle, completely distraught, after returning home at 6 p.m. “I don’t have the time or energy to cook.”
It is impossible to function after such a long day at work, let alone do anything meaningful – for example, “dating, playing sports or maintaining friendships”.
Her tears, however, “have nothing to do with the work itself,” Brielle continues. “8-hour days in general are just crazy.”
Brielle has to drive an hour to work every day
What makes it even more difficult for Brielle is that she has to take the train to work for almost an hour every day, reports the Daily Mail.
In general, her life is very difficult, Brielle tells her more than 100,000 followers. She completed her university studies with determination, but then despite graduating she had to write “hundreds of applications a day for five whole months.” Finally, she received a job offer from New York – and as a poor student had to move to neighboring, cheaper New Jersey.
“I get on the train around 7:30 a.m. and don’t get home until around 6:15 p.m.,” says Brielle. “I don’t have time for anything [anderes] to do.” The work and commute just took “f****ng forever.”
Gen Z understands Brielle’s complaints
Almost all of Brielle’s followers agreed with her, reports the Daily Mail. “Feel 100 percent the same,” one of them writes. “[8 Stunden zu arbeiten] is so repetitive and depressing. I mean: five days work and two days off! Feels like hell to be honest.”

“You are not alone,” writes another. “It’s sick, like [nach der Arbeit] “Your whole day is really gone.”
There are only a few opposing opinions in the comments. “Imagine: Children will be added later!” writes one user.
