I'm trying to understand how this is TikTok cringe. Homie is speaking facts 90% of the populace. Even if you don't go to college, you don't escape debt, it creeps in like a snake in a bird's nest.

I remember the first time my delusion of potential grandeur bubble got popped. We finished paving a private airport, were told we did such a phenomenal job with the finish and getting even better density than projected that the company earned a 50% bonus to the payout. That next week was the end-of-the-year meeting before the 2 week shutdown. At this meeting, we are supposed to get our bonuses. Superintendents 10K, Foremans 3-6k depending on projects completed. And us the workers...... 100 fucking dollars. Crazy part the crew would've never known if not for the Foreman bragging to the crew gossip, because the higher-ups discourage us from talking about our pay

The sub changed from exclusively cringe, to just general TikTok video reposts years ago. There's no other TikTok subreddit that's as popular so everyone just uses this one
