Based on her commentary, she is working a 40-hour work week that involves getting on the train at 7.30 a.m. and then arriving home at or after 6:15 p.m. She pondered how one could do activities like date or interact with friends. She complained that she did not have time to do anything. Some of the supportive comments on her channel argued in favor of an alternative to the &#8220;outdated&#8221; 40-hour work week.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From insider:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the upload, Brielle explained it was her first job out of college and she worked from the office, which meant she had to commute into the city even though it took &#8220;forever&#8221; as there was &#8220;no way&#8221; she could afford to live in the city at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>She said she gets on her train at 7:30 a.m. and doesn&#8217;t get home until &#8220;six-fifteen earliest&#8221; at which point she said she has no time or energy to cook dinner or work out, and she was &#8220;so upset,&#8221; not by her job specifically, but the nine-to-five schedule and the commute which wiped out her days.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the video, the TikToker said she was &#8220;probably just being so dramatic and annoying&#8221; and later in the upload acknowledged her situation could be worse and she could be working even longer hours, but questioned how people were supposed to make time for friends or to date.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t have time for anything and I&#8217;m like so stressed out,&#8221; she said towards the end of the video.<\/p>\n<p>The upload appeared to resonate with many, as it received 1.2 million views and over 7,300 comments, many of which wrote they could relate to the situation, as they shared they too had limited time for their own lives after work, and found the repetitive routine difficult to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 40 hour work week is beyond outdated and your feelings are totally valid,&#8221; one viewer wrote in a popular comment.<\/p>\n<p>Others echoed how hard it was to work a full-time job while staying on top of household tasks, let alone trying to maintain a personal life, and questioned how they were supposed to one day make time to raise kids as well, as they spent more time at work than they did with their family.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Insider has the rest of the story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/college-graduate-upset-shock-working-nine-to-five-tiktok-2023-10\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young woman, who recently graduated from college, took to TikTok to voice her frustrations.
