The viral video has been viewed more than 1.1 million times and counting as of this writing; it also received over 6,700 comments from fellow TikTokers who validated Brielle's sentiments.

"The 40-hour work week is beyond outdated, and your feelings are totally valid," reads the top comment.

One user agreed, writing, "No, this is so real, and any time I bring it up, everyone just kinda shrugs and says, 'Welcome to the real world.' Surely, there is more to life??????"

"It's so repetitive and depressing," a second person said, "I feel you girl."

A third TikToker shared, "I had a crisis when I got my first 9-5 job. Literally, I couldn't believe this was life."

"Tbh, it doesn't get better," a fourth TikTok user commented. "You just learn to force things in after work despite being exhausted [because] u feel like ur being cheated of time." Isn't this so sad?!

Another person responded, "The first year is the HARDEST. Omgggg, I remember crying after my first day. You will get through it." We couldn't agree more, and it does help if you have a job you're passionate about!

"You are NOT ALONE!!!! You will find [the] schedule that works for you girly!" a kind TikTok user wrote before advising Brielle to "make your dinner for the WEEK! That helps me a lot!"

Someone else (jokingly) stated, "Gen Z need to collectively move up into management positions and then collectively enforce the 4-day work week." Honestly, we're so here for that.

What do you think? Is there a lack of work-life balance these days? Let us know!
