I’ll agree with the owner. No not all Gen Zer’s are but the majority just don’t want to work, to stupid to work or want to be CEO on day 2 because they deserve it or quit after a couple hours because they didn’t know work can be hard.
Nobody wants to hire someone who doesn’t even know their own gender or deal with the baggage of self obcessed brain dead indoctrinated liberal.
Yes there’s hard working young folks who actually want to make a living be productive but they’re in the minority.
The buck stops at the door of wimpy parents and cowering bosses. They cause more damage to society than the “bad” people, because they underwrite and give approval to self indulgence. Young people “fall to” under firm and consistent guidance by authority. Workers will step up for a real boss but are demoralized and become apathetic under a limp wristed one who lets lazy workers off the hook and uses the productive to cover for them.
My favorite bosses, looking back, I was a little scared of. One of the best was a Martha Stewart type who demanded high quality at all times. You KNEW not to mess with this woman, smiling and elegant as she appeared…but you also knew that if she affirmed your work she was not stroking your ego. She meant it.
You could try to blame the current generations, but who ruined them? Who was complicit in their immaturity? Parents and bosses! The “greatest generation” didn’t want their kids to suffer as they had, thus depriving them of the conditions which had developed their own vaunted character. Look where that’s gotten us!
This is just part of life. When you’re younger, you sometimes don’t know HOW to work. I remember when I got my first job out of college, and I have to admit, looking back, I was just terrible. But soon you realize that you have to really push yourself because it’s not just your life that depends on the quality of your work, it’s also your wife and kids. So as you grow into your 30s and 40s, you become a better worker over time. Now there are some that never learn... Those usually can’t be helped. Some have a great work ethic at age 16. Some need a few years of working to learn how to work. And some never learn. That’s just how life goes...
Looking back, I’d fire my 24 year old self. I’m glad somebody didn’t give up on me, had a bit of patience, kicked my butt into gear, and gave me the time I needed to mature into a star worker.
If Sloe Biden can hire based on nothing more than immutable characteristics, then so can this man.
Yep, there is an art to working, and you only gain it by working.
Every snowflake thinks it didn’t contribute to the avalanche.
Every ‘parent’ thinks their snowflake doesn’t, yet, we all know they do.
If we want people to work and do a good job, perhaps we stop REWARDING them for NOT working...
I have friends who has kids older than mine. (Started my second family with Mrs Deplorable) Their kids are late 20s and early 30s and one kid (who is 32) had more jobs than I did. The kid’s mom (since he never knew his dad) gives him everything. Another kid who’s 29 spends more time doing drugs than looking for a job. He told me the government pays him.
I’m an HR attorney for a large entity. Our biggest problem with 20 somethings is they get offended by everything. If their supervisor tries to counsel them on job performance or some such issue…it’s harassment. One day recently, a 50 something male was on an elevator with one of the 20 something females right about noon. He engaged in chit chat with her. As the elevator doors opened he said ‘it’s noon, I guess we had better go to lunch’ and then he got off leaving her there. That resulted in a sex harassment complaint. It some new slight or grievance every few days by these employees. It’s crazy. Recently a couple of older males were discussing hunting season and what rifle each used. That resulted in a complaint from a young female coworker that she was frightened for her safety at work. We do have some great, hard working 20 somethings, but they re not the majority.
Any more stories you are able share/expose?
It’s not easy to work when you have your face in your FB all day.
Millenials are a mixed bag... far more on average than previous generations...
Some are hard working... a lot are lazy and entitled.
Generalizations are always just that... no one generalization ever covers an entire group of individuals.
Absolutely, I agree. There are far more lazy and entitled in the 20 something set (as a percentage) than any previous generation.
The silent generation had a stellar work ethic. The baby boomers had a solid work ethic. Millenials are super hit and miss. You get many ambitious Millenials who are nose to the grind stone, than many others who just want to sit around and play video games all day. I don’t know any Gen Z.
Me, mentally banging my head onto my computer desk. If it didn't cut into social time, it wouldn't be a job.
I’ll admit, I didn’t have much muscle as a kid. I was more of a nerd, but amongst my own peers, Gen X, I was more the exception, rather than the rule. I’ve actually developed more muscle tone as I have gotten older.
If most kids are really like that nowadays, we are in big trouble, considering the tough times that are likely to come. Let’s go, Brandon!
“. They go through a temporary agency so they don’t have to handle the paperwork for the employee turnover.”
And like most companies doing the same they will cherry pick the temps that show initiative and work ethic and hire them as full time employees.
Hi.
I still get offers for employment.
And in the fwiw department, I will no longer work 60 hrs a week.
Life is good.

Many of them, like most progressives, have such an entitlement mindset. Want to work from home, when most of our business is field work. Many want to not have to come in until late morning. We were almost completely “work from home” for quite a while during the “scamdemic,” and many don’t understand why they can’t keep working from remotely. A few more things...but the biggest is as I said before...they are so “offense” minded. Just a verbal suggestion/correction from a supervisor is “harassment.” Discipline is discrimination. Normal interactions between men and women is now “sex harassment.” We have a 20 something fellow who now wants to be a gal. He has been complaining at times because people that didn’t know he was now “she” keep turning their heads when they see him/her walk by. Its “transphobic.” Many of the 20 somethings are just miserable in life and everything offends them.

Now that summer is here, check out the physical fitness of the average teenager. The ones that aren’t blobs of fat still aren’t the fit, toned hard bodies of yesteryear. I’m talking about young ladies with legs that have a nicely shaped hamstring or definable arm and stomach muscles. You probably won’t find any.
Girls these days don’t care about their figures the way their mothers and grandmothers did.
And the young guys are just as bad.
