Then why hire them?
A place where I used to work, an electronic defense subcontractor, hired a college grad with a new diploma in the engineering department.
He was a Mr. Know-it-all from day one and started criticizing everything. This was ‘wrong’, that was ‘bad’ this would never work, etc.
He lasted a week...................
“When considering youth disqualified for one reason alone, the most prevalent disqualification rates are overweight (11 percent), drug and alcohol abuse (8 percent), and medical/physical health (7 percent),” the Pentagon’s 2020 Qualified Military Available Study of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 read.
.,.. most ineligible youth (44 percent) are disqualified for multiple reasons rather than in only one area.
Among those ineligible for only one reason, being overweight was the highest disqualification, at 11 percent. Drug use (8 percent), medical/physical only (7 percent) and mental health only (4 percent) were the other leading categories found in the study.
The largest increases in disqualification estimates observed between 2013 and 2020 were for mental health and overweight conditions.- https://americanmilitarynews.com/2023/03/77-of-young-americans-too-fat-mentally-ill-on-drugs-and-more-to-join-military-pentagon-study-finds/
So now do you see why we want to use H-1B visas?
Now with Ai, young people are getting degrees without ever opening a book, writing a paper themselves, or struggling to learn anything. They can’t read, can’t write, can’t think, and can’t hold a conversation about anything beyond what’s hot on TikTok. Hiring them is ludicrous. The Idiocracy has arrived....
“Most Hiring Managers Say New College Grads Are Often Terrible Hires”
That’s how braindead and drug addled they are.
Sherlock was unavailable for comment.
Matlock too.
I heard a new one yesterday.
Back in the day, HR folks usually noted a work ethic difference between Country Kids and City Kids.
The Country kids usually had life experience holding responsibility for death/demise of animals and crops if poorly attended. Their work was usually higher quality and seldom needed a lot of management.
The new one - Theater Kids - Real life experience in front of live audiences, where they needed to collaborate and follow the script for success, yet in the moment, adjust or ad lib to maintain the continuity when things went south. Eventually it was the audience that judged the performance.
Theater kids understand an audience’s appreciation for a quality show. Flowers are not given for participation, flowers are given for excellence.
They all need ‘mental health days’ to recover from having to work and will go off on people who don’t use the proper pronouns. Even having to work a full work week is too much for them as they believe they should be given what others have worked an entire lifetime to earn.
They are all looking to declare a workplace ‘hostile’’ so they can rule the workplace as everyone is afraid of offending them. Heck, even the Mafia can’t find good young people to work.

Normally, there are no two snowflakes alike but now we have typical “snowflakes” of the tribal kind.
I suspect a lot of these could be weeded out by holding the interview at 7:30am, and including a reading comprehension test with hand-written replies, no phone allowed.
THE LEGACY OF PARTICIPATION TROPHIES WILL LINGER FOR A VERY LONG TIME

I once hired a guy with a BA in accounting for a clerk job.
He couldn’t use a 10 key adding machine.
“Colleges don’t teach students how to behave in the workplace, and there is a lack of transitional support from both universities and employers,” Resume.org’s career coach Irina Pichura stated in the report.
“Most students graduate with little exposure to professional environments, so when they arrive at their first job, they’re often learning basic workplace norms for the first time.
Colleges should have a workplace training program to support graduates’ transition to the workplace.””
If they haven’t learned the basics of work ethic by the time they enter college, then it’s doubtful they will ever learn. My parents taught me the importance of listening, being on time, dressing appropriately, etc.
In middle school we had lessons on proper etiquette, even how a couple should enter a room together. In high school business courses, we had lessons on how to answer a telephone in a business setting, when to offer to shake hands, to look a person in the eye when speaking to them, etc.
If these young people are entering the work force not knowing those basics, then they may as well just apply for public housing and SNAP benefits because that is what’s in their future.
It is not the job of college to teach work skills. That is the parent job. By sending their teens to flip burgers pack groceries mow lawns and get real jobs as youbg teens.
That prepares them for work world.
One child worked part time for dunkin. Worked with people she never would have met before... marginal financial people. . Learned how to work and be grateful. I remember her telling me that she was complaining about getting my hand me down 8 passenger vehicle and the manager a father put her in her place saying he would love such a vehicle.
She moved over to Starbucks a year or so later. They had such a lousy tracking of he drive through orders that she initiated the dunking drive through system there at age 17. At 18 she was the youngest manager in their system.
She is an excellent employee and has had the pick of jobs in her field. STEM.
Send your kids to work Mama!
