StevieT Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 This is probably going to unpopular especially with this generation today and I'll probably be labelled as a "detractor" but just hear me out. I completely sympathise with Phil's situation, as a human being, it's not nice to see anyone struggling financially. But sadly for a lot of people that's a part of life, life is not easy, it is fucking hard and so many people have financially struggles but a lot of those people go to incredible lengths to change that. Phil stated in his recent video on his schedule changes how he's upset that he never gets any downtime with Leanna and how he deserves to get time off and that pissed me off. You don't deserve anything, that's an extremely entitled mindset on how you deserve time off, FYI Phil, time off is a LUXURY and luxuries are for people who can afford to have time off. I know people who don't have any days off (other than Christmas day) because they have to balance 3 jobs just to put food on the table for their family. I don't get time off cause I have 2 jobs just to provide. So if you're in as much financial trouble as you say are in your videos then you shouldn't be taking any day off, you should be working every day, ridiculous hours to put food on the table for you and your girlfriend. You maybe working more hours on certain days to "earn" the days off but you should be working those hours every fucking day so you can get out of this mess and continue to put food on the table. And if Leanna doesn't like that, tough shit, that's life, she should be grateful that you'd be willing to work that hard to pay the bills. So I'm not coming at this as a "hater" but in my opinion if you're in financial struggle you should be doing everything in your power to sufficiently provide for your family, no matter how much hard work it is. But this generation doesn't work hard, it's the entitled generation but that's another conversation entirely. So Phil I hope you take my points into account and make the right decisions in order to provide for yourself and your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichterTryhard Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I don't see how that makes someone enititled. And quite the blanket generalization there about an entire generation of people. Everyone deserves time off if they work hard. I don't know why you let that upset you. So you think Phil isn't deserving of this time off due to his financial situation right? Because you know people who work harder?? Someone is always working harder out there.. How does that mean that's the standard of deserving time off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the fact that Phil has made it clear he has financial struggles in plenty of videos and then makes a video saying he should take time off. If you want to take time off then don't make another video complaining about having no money cause in those days off you could have been in the office working your ass off. And maybe I am generalising but that's all I fucking see today, people who believe they are entitled to something and don't want to work for it.

Time off is a standard with most jobs in any industry. Now I agree you shouldn't take it if you can't afford it, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve it. If Phil thinks he could afford it then maybe that's why he is ok in thinking to do it. Maybe he is expecting support, idk. He did say he is taking another hour each day he works. Also he is still uploading on his days off, he said so in the video. And just because its what you see, doesn't make it the reality nor the truth..

SilentWarrior25 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Here's the thing. He'll end up playing for more hours overall with the extra hour per day and the day off than how he's doing things now. And since videos would still be uploaded on the day off, he's not really losing anything overall, making it so that he can relax without compromising anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many young people work hard everyday Ok we're not going to agree on whether time off is a luxury, you think it is and that's your opinion and I respect that. Now I'm glad you can agree that you shouldn't take time off if you can't afford it but I don't see how Phil think he could afford it if he's constantly making videos on how poor he is doing financially, he often says there's the threat of him not being able to pay his bills and that to me sounds like he certainly can't afford to take time off. A couple of extra hours a day ain't gonna cut it, he has to be working his damn hardest every day to make ends meet. But like I said if he wants to take time off fine, but don't ever make another video talking about the struggle you're in when you were taking time instead of working to fix it. And I agree lots of young people work hard, I am painting with a broad brush, I'm just frustrated with what I see on social media these days. 8 minutes ago, SilentWarrior25 said: Here's the thing.

If he's that worried about his situation, he should be working harder than he normally was, not taking time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightSideViking Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 the thing is. No matter what you do. How easy your job is thought to be. Everyone have a break in what they are doing at least one day a week. No matter how hard they are struggling financially. This have been the standards for thousands of years. And is a part of both western religion, and culture. I know OP is just a troll but this is the definitive answer he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a lot people take a day or two off each week, cause they can fucking afford, those of us who can't don't, if I'm sick and take a day off, no food on the table. I've been injured doing a job before and carried on cause I have to put food on the table and I have no idea why you're bringing religion into this, I guess to try and make it look like you're giving an intellectual answer?

RichterTryhard Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 A troll is someone who is trying to get an emotional reaction out of someone for thier own amusement right? Rile people up for the funsies? I think OP had a fair question. I just don't agree with him on whether time off is a luxury or not. He clearly has a stricter perception on working and taking breaks from that work. I don't think that makes him a troll. He disagrees with Phil's actions.. And explained why.

BrightSideViking Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 He didn't have a fair question to begin with. Having a day of is something everyone does. And OP sure is good baiting people if you haven't noticed. My guess is he don't even have a job. He is here to argue something that is really asinine. We are not hunter gatherers any more. We don't have to fight everyday in a jungle to survive. If you want to call this Not trolling, it is fine by me. But you are being baited. And I have told you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal_Phalanx91 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Having a day off is required for wellbeing. It's not going to have much of an impact on Phil because he is going to stream more during the week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the reason phil isn't getting more popular is oversaturation. Too much content. A 4 hour stream is long yes. it's a 1/6 of a whole day. Just sat watching phil. In reality I don't even think he had to add an extra hour on his stream the other days. But that is just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruthCommission Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Everyone needs time off be it one day or two days and there's a reason for it. Just because you owe a bit of money or are struggling doesn't mean you have to go work 12 jobs a week for 34 hours a day. Work rest and play is what it's all about. you wrote you should be working those hours every fucking day so you can get out of this mess and continue to put food on the table. And if Leanna doesn't like that, tough shit, that's life, I'm not sure how they do things in hardgraft city but did you expect Phil to take your ideas on board and say tough shit girl, no outing for you today or relationship stuff, some guy on the internet said I should do 3 jobs and work more because im slightly struggling lets not have fun and live a hard working but dull existence? That sentence seemed antagonistic given current trends and that is why I called your post a b8 post. Just so you know. Because you asked. Because I'm a nice guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
