Am I the only one who thinks they’d better have the skill?
We’ll see how they’ll do in 20 years from now.
Personality hire in the ER? Personality hire in construction? Personality hire at the gun range?
These kids need real skills.
Hmm, I wonder what could cause the lack of skills among young adults just out of high school/college? I’m sure the scamdemic-related shutdown and Rat politicians prioritizing political agendas over actual reading, writing, and math has nothing to do with it. /s
“Personality hires”, I do believe they have misspelled “useless noisy floaters that people who do the real work hate”. These people have always existed and gotten by somehow. Only the label is new.
Just watched the “PanderVerse” South Park episode.
Yup. A world with no handy man. This is what is headed our way.
You said it.
Nope.
A lot sooner than H.G. Wells predicted.
Companies like Meta and Google had personality hires by the thousand. When they inevitably trimmed the fat and laid these ciphers off, they had no idea what to do, they never actually had to work for a year or more, and had been paid handsomely to goof off and schmooze all day. The idea of real job was beyond them.
They: “Hey King!”
Me: “You’re fired”.
They were called the “in” crowd. Mostly useless when real work was involved.
Personality hires were all the rage when I was doing underground nuke tests back in the day.
I see their personality.
Is staring at your phone all the dang time a personality strength?
Why do they call them Zeros? They are “The Dumbest Generation”. 100% Shickenchit.
I have several. Gen z grandkids
They worked part time during school year and full time summers….since they were 15 .
No job,no spending money..
So, they are out of luck in both respects.
They have been taught to look at the "whole word" as if it is Chinese characters, which is fine after you know a word by sounding it out and begin to remember it.
They are taught to guess at words they don't know based on the context.
When they get in the workplace and encounter a lot of words they don't know, they can't function.
Only those who somehow learned phonics can.
Even in high school and college in history and in technical areas they can't read the new words.
This started in 1909 and has gotten worse every year.
