It is mostly school indoctrination into irrationality (removal from the Natural Family with promotion of satanism (irrational Marxist/Socialist ideology) where Up is Down.
After 12 years of repeating lies and misinformation for foundation of life and watching tubes for their “Reality” so they really embed irrational ideas and destroy their Creativity and ability to think critically-—the children grow up to be just plain dumb with no natural instincts—just self-loathing (God-loathing).
Our 25 year old daughter called her mom the other day and thanked us for giving her some life skills. She is living on her own in a big town.
Problem is that they are “cancer” to the team. The few I have had the displeasure dealing with have the attitude that “I refuse to work, and you cannot make me work”; then there is the “I will use my sick leave any way I chose to use it” mentality.
When they meet an end of my patience, and they get the “You are fired, effective immediately” drill, the whining and crying is comparable to that of a spoiled child. Problem is that by the time I have done my required due diligence, some other “normal” employees have learned this behavior, so I wipe the cancer from the team completely.
It is harsh, it is brutal. It is done for the sake of the team. And afterwards the junior and senior members pull me aside and say “thank you, for doing that bit of unpleasantness”. You see, they are the ones that do the initial screening to see who comes in at the entry level. And they are learning the harsh realities of “Snowflakes”, like everyone else.
Avoid them, if you can.
Thing is, I think we push our kids to too much too soon. Right after high school, we shove them into the uni system thinking that these kids are ready, but a lot of them are not. Kids should live a life first, not continue high school and basically get more drama into their lives. Campuses are hotbds of drama and chaos, more than study really.
Good grief. That chick needs a Thorazine milkshake.
When I began my career at the company, the probation period was one year. There were no vacation days and no sick days for that year.
TC, I’m a few years ahead of you and recall in college several times where people in the dorm rallied around someone having a meltdown or anxiety issue and helped them get through it.
And sometimes all it takes is for a peer to tell someone if they don’t get their $#!+ together it’s gonna get a whole lot worse for them than it is now.
We now have proof that focusing on your feelings and self esteem is counter productive to raising successful adults, though the movement was done precisely with that premise.
Some of them even freak out at the concept that others disagree with them without apologizing, hence, SJWs.
Stephen Molynaux had an interesting thesis that the chronic anxiety and over-reaction was the result of a generation raised nearly entirely by daycare workers instead of parents.
Where I work, we have 13 days of sick leave and vacation days per year, accrued at a rate of 4 hours every 2 weeks. Probation lasts a whole year; and a snowflake will not last the year.
It is always best to get rid of a problem early on; than to deal with the disruption later on. Unfortunately some supervisors prefer to take the easy way out, and let things go. Then I step in and fix the problem.

Now, he experiences life as an adult; and has absolutely no clue, nor a single coping tool in dealing with the stresses of adult life.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Adulting must be new speak for GROWING UP

Yes.
“It wasn’t just the numbers, it was the intensity and severity,” said ECU Director of Counseling Valerie Kisler-van Reede. “It felt like something very different was going on...
I agree. The first-year washout rate (high) and the four-year graduation rate (low) for most universities are evidence that many students are not prepared. I don't think it's a failure of academic preparation so much as a lack of maturity.
One thing I've observed is that the above-average students in high school are used to a lot of hand-holding, a lot of "good kid" points from adults, a lot of slack being cut for them. They aren't used to doing things for themselves or facing an indifferent system, so if they run into difficulties in college, they don't actively seek out all the help that is available. They wait for a rescue from someone outside, and if it doesn't come, they're toast.
This is what happens when people grow up depending on the godless government rather than on God. The totalitarian Utopia takes the place of God and kills babies because it is cheaper in the long run, fewer mouths to feed and cloth, less responsibility for the government.
