Geezers rule!
“One in five employers reported that recent college grads are generally unprepared when it comes to interviewing for a job.”
Weed
“For that same reason, 48% of employers are offering remote or hybrid positions to older employees...”
He might be a lazy Gen Xer who smokes weed everyday and doesn’t want to change out of his pajamas, but at least when something needs to be done, he can do it!
This is intentional.
Salaries are not considered to be participation trophies.
“I can TikTok, and stuff...”
You don’t make much eye contact when you’re texting. I predicted years ago that cell phones would cause developmental problems in kids. A huge amount of information is imparted by gestures, expressions, eye movements, etc. These can totally alter the meaning of words themselves in conversations. And, the development of empathy. Kids don’t learn to interpret or use those when their main form of communication relies on anonymous electrons hurtling through space.
The indust6rial plant from which I retired a number of years ago found that more than 10% of so called high school graduates applying for entry level jobs couldn’t fill out the basic application form. We turned them away as that was an indication of their inability to read job directives and safety instructions.
It’s easy to chuckle at this and one would like to think they would try to adjust for the better but the reality is that this cadre of underemployed malcontents are easy picking for Leftist grievance merchants.
probably showing up late, if at all, covered in tattoos and piercings then proceed to say they demand to work from home.
We had practice interview sessions even in high school business classes when I was in school. On those days, we were expected to dress in business attire and were critiqued on that as well as our responses to questions by the interviewer.
Government public skools have done a great disservice to an entire generation of students. The next generation doesn’t seem to be getting anything better.
Never fear, young grads! I hear Boeing is hiring door plug inspectors by the carload.
Glad I retired when I did. All the younger workers were lazy and called in sick all the time and most of management were sociopaths that got promoted because they were special interest groups that couldn’t be fired.
I interviewed candidates for a position and had some of them show up in jeans, T-shirts and flip-flops. No kidding.
How much more evidence do we need that colleges are a total failure? They have nothing to do with education or life skills.
All colleges are for today is to put fools in debt and indoctrinate them, preparing them to only believe what they are told to believe.
I recently retired, and my employer wants me back.
