These TikTokers have "a bone to pick with America" over their employment status.
Young Gen Z and millennial influencers are facing social media backlash — and some commenters’ support — about not being able to secure a job in the 2023 economy.
"So I’m headed to my serving job, I f***ing hate it," fitness influencer Alison Johnson posted to TikTok in October. "I make more money serving. I have my literal business marketing degree, that put me in a cute $80,000 in debt."
"And I make more serving sushi rolls," she continued to explain. "I’ve been applying to marketing jobs… for weeks now, and the pay cut is insane. But the jobs that are like a cute $150,000 to $200,000 a year, I’m not getting those."
