A Gen Z Aussie who quit her $1,800-a-week sales job because it wasn’t ‘worth it’ has been slammed as ‘entitled’.
Grace Sarah took to TikTok on Tuesday to announce she had resigned from her sales job.
‘I just quit my job to my bosses face. I told him that the $1800-a-week was not worth it,’ she said.
‘I have no idea what I am going to do but I’ve got six weeks to figure it out because that’s how much I have left to pay rent.’
One person wrote in the comments: ‘$1,800 a WEEK is too good. What?’ with Grace Sarah responding: ‘It wasn’t worth the personality points I would lose staying’.
Her $1,800 a week salary adds up $93,600 a year which is much more generous than the weekly average of $1,510.90 – or $78,567 a year for all workers.
The video immediately drew backlash with many taking issue with the fact that she was willing to give up a well paying job during a cost-of-living crisis.
Boomer commentator Prue MacSween led the charge labelling the young worker a ‘spoilt brat’.
‘She clearly has no work ethic and no comprehension of reality,’ she said.
‘This person is clearly a spoilt brat. A facile product of an indulged childhood. She will never understand the rewards from hard work and effort.
‘One day reality may hit and sadly, the taxpayer will end up paying for her future life on a couch watching soapies.’
Ms MacSween’s statement was echoed in the video comments as ns feel the effects of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
‘Wow talk about entitled young ones of today, good luck,’ one user wrote.
Another said: ‘I’d lose all my personality for 1800 a week.’
Someone also said: ‘1800 a week? And that’s not enough?! I don’t even get that a fortnight.’
But there was some solidarity with a few inspired to describe their terrible work experiences.
‘I walked out of a principal job 6 weeks ago,’ someone said.
‘Sometimes the money just isn’t worth it.’
Another commenter said: ‘There is something in the air because I just quit my FIFO (fly-in fly-out) job yesterday and have no idea what I’m going to do next.’
ns are doing it tough right now, with n Bureau of Statistics (ABS) figures on February 5 showing that employee living costs last year soared by four per cent, even with generous electricity rebates from the federal government.
One social media user gave a stark warning to the young woman.
‘Girl, strap in, I’ve been applying for jobs left right and centre for about 10 weeks,’ she said.
‘[I] jumped through 5 interviews with one company over 8 weeks just to not end up with the job and have only heard back from 1 other job.
‘It’s rough out here.’
Daily Mail has contacted Grace Sarah for comment.
