The world of work can be a difficult place at times, as one TikToker found after graduating college and getting her first job. The reality of travelling into the city, working, and getting back late was all too much for Brielle, who goes by the username brielleybelly123 on the site. Brielle recorded a video of herself in tears, reflecting on her experiences of beginning a new job after graduating. Speaking to the camera, she said: “I know I’m probably just being so dramatic and annoying, but this is my first job, like, my first 9-5 job after college.” Brielle added: “I’m in person and I’m commuting in the city and it takes me f***ing forever to get there.” Later in the video, she said: “I don’t have time to do anything. I want to shower, eat my dinner, go to sleep — I don’t have time or energy to cook my dinner either.” @brielleybelly123 im also getting sick leave me alone im emotional ok i feel 12 and im scared of not having time to live Speaking about her commute in the clip, Brielle said that she travelled more than an hour each way and left for work at 7am. Her words sparked a big reaction in the comments section, with many sympathising with her and calling for a four day working week. One viewer wrote: “The 40 hour work week is beyond outdated and your feelings are totally valid.” Another said: “High school set us up for the 9-5 then college ruined it.” One more wrote: “40 hour work week was designed with a homemaker to take care of house tasks. We need dual incomes now, so that’s not possible. No time for anything.” “Gen Z need to collectively move up into management positions and then collectively enforce the 4 day work week,” a user commented. One more seemed to sum up the collective verdict, saying: “Everyone feels like this and no one does anything about it.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Have your say in our news democracy.

Bad news for banana lovers – scientists have warned that the fruit could face extinction, after a fungal disease outbreak. Crops of the Cavendish banana have been hit by an infection called Panama disease, with those in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Australia and central America particularly badly affected. The disease, which is also known as banana wilt, starts in the roots of the banana tree and then spreads through its vascular system. Ultimately, it stops the plant from absorbing water or carrying out photosynthesis, eventually killing the tree. For Cavendish banana growers, it could spell disaster. While there are more than 1,000 varieties of bananas, about 47 per cent that humans eat are Cavendish. Cavendish has historically dominated the global banana market since the 1950s, partly because of its resistance to the main banana-killing diseases. It also has a long shelf life, making it more attractive for international import and export, and the plant also produces more bananas than other varieties on the same amount of land. Part of the reason scientists think it could be endangered is because of what happened to another popular banana variety called the Gros Michel. Gros Michel was the main export banana in the early 20th century, but was practically wiped out by a predecessor disease to the one hitting Cavendishes now. The first infections of Gros Michel farms began in the late 19th century and took several decades to affect production to the point where growers were looking for a new variety to sell. Cavendish, meanwhile, was first hit by the current strain of Panama disease in 1997, and it has now spread across several continents. However, scientists are working on a genetically modified version of the banana to fight to infection. James Dale, a professor and leader of the banana biotechnology program at Queensland University of Technology, is working on the project. He told Insider: “The disease moves slowly, so we have at least a decade before the impact is drastic.” “I would say with certainty that there will be a solution before the export market for Cavendish is severely affected.” Let’s hope he’s right.
