Wageslaves feel bad for their older co workers?

Makes me want to kill myself thinking about how middle aged adults do the same shit they've been doing since they were out of high school. I sure as shit don't want to live my life like this for much longer. Couldn't imagine doing it for decades.

I worked at mcdonalds for a few months and there was a guy who bad worked there 20 something years. He looked dead inside constantly. I never seen him smile. He's probably killed himself by now

No because I'm likely to be one of them in 30 years

Not really.
When you're youthful you're very keen to attach yourself to an external source of validation or identity like a career, a political ideology, people and activities.
As you age you lose this need for a 'shell' and your identity stops consisting of circumstantial traits.

These people do not feel the same way you do about their work or lifestyle. They're more than that. They are themselves.

H-hehe

I work retail and one of the people I work with is in his late 30's. He's a short, balding guy. He's been there since he was in his early 20's and he's just one step above me. I can't imagine he makes more than $15/hour. He takes the job seriously and can get angry, but he never takes it out on anyone directly. You can approach him in these moments and he'll be fine to talk to. He is a super hard worker.

I just don't get it, how there's still a light flickering inside him after all that time at the same menial job. I don't think he has a romantic partner either. I just don't get it. He comes in every day with this strong work ethic and refuses to let life beat him down. Maybe his anger is his way of expressing his discontent, either that or he hides it superbly. Either way he kind of bums me out, being so content with the menial life of a wagecuck.

No. All older co-wageslaves at my last job were absolute pieces of shit and deserved to be where they are.

I don't feel bad for the older workers because they are retired and come to work to get away from their wives and get exercise. It instead makes me feel bad because I constantly remember that I am doing a job which any retiree can do.
