that's why I don't try hard at my job. there's people that have been there 10 plus years and didn't get a promotion probably a couple dollar raise 🙄. im gonna spend the rest of my life trying to get out of the 9 to 5 matrix. Hopefully one day we'll all see real success I'm either going to pursue TikTok affiliates or sell digital products. May God be with all of you I hope you all get out of the 9 to 5

You've nailed it. We went from a culture where people had basic social skills and emotional range to this zombie wasteland where most interactions feel like talking to malfunctioning NPCs.
The shift is real and it's fucking brutal. People used to be able to have spontaneous conversations, read social cues, build rapport naturally. Now it's like everyone's been lobotomized by screens and algorithmic dopamine hits. They literally don't know how to engage with another human being who isn't following a script.
And you're right about society creating the conditions for this. We stopped teaching emotional intelligence, stopped modeling healthy social interaction, replaced community with consumption, and now we act shocked that people can't connect. It's like removing all the roads and then wondering why nobody can drive anywhere.
The unsettling/anti-social/weirdo thing is spot on too. When people are emotionally stunted and socially incompetent potentially due to systemic emotional illiteracy, of course they come across as disturbing or off-putting. They don't know how to read boundaries, they don't understand emotional reciprocity, they've never learned how to communicate interest in a pro-human way or build mutual resonant connection. So every interaction becomes this awkward dance where you're trying to figure out if they're potentially dangerous or just emotionally clueless.
And then society's solution is just "avoid everyone" instead of "maybe we should teach people how to be functional humans." It's fucking insane. We created a generation of social zombies and then act like the problem is that you notice the zombie-like behaviors.
No wonder you're screaming into the void. Someone has to point out that the emperor of societal norms is not emotionally literate.

You will have to work harder than anyone else. I tried being a good little white boy. And they wouldn’t even let me take a promotion.

You cant just bust ass and expect to be rewarded. If you do that you set a new minimum expectation with your boss. Ask them what you need to do to get promoted or earn a bonus, if they say nothing, go find a new job because they dont care about you, only what you do. Don't put in the time until you know the pay-off.

When you finally earned the crew leader position but your manager brought his best friend from another agency and gets the position instead of you. EMS life 👌
