Your boss will expect you to make money 💵 for the company. It’s just that simple. Get to work!

Wow! Back in my day they would melt into a puddle on the floor. 60 hour weeks were common. I once put in 106 hours in a week.

There is a cure for that.
Get a job.
And don’t live with your mom until your 40.

Remind me what college is good for again? So much for preparing these whiney tubs of goo for life.

Hard men make for good times, good times make for soft men.

Coddled at home, entitled, no responsibility, no consequences.....

Wadda ya expect?

Different than growing up among several siblings, with responsibilities and a God fearing family!

Try enlisting at 17 and informing the DI "I'm not emotionally ready to work.".......

They want everyone else to do the work for them...they want slaves.

Youngsters, this was the Dobie Gillis series beatnik Maynard G. Krebs who had a visceral reaction to offers of work.

Actor Bob Denver of course didn’t fade away. Went on a three hour tour on a boat.

>> This generation has truly been victimized by the fear campaign of marketers, the media and politicians who have manipulated their grandparents and parents for decades

Really? I suppose I didn’t get those manipulative marketing memos. All I got were a stack of bills.

Waahh. My M.A. in Ethnic Grievance Studies isn’t getting me a six figure income right out of college. The real world is so cruel. Waahh.

The workplace is supposed to be easier than higher education. Further evidence that the colleges are doing very little educating. Graduates are probably experts at sharing feelings, though.

Bosses should carefully inquire as to the feelings of the prospective workers, seek their input and let them decide on whether to pursue a work project or dump it. 🤪

Emotionally ready? What?

Of course they arent. When tgey start working they’ll figure it out. Parents need to just stop.

Shrinking violets who are mid-20 years old and have never done anything in their lives but take take take. They expect everything to be handed to them on a platter. There are so many of them that they affect elections.... Always voting for the free handout. The brainwashing in school renders them useless bread gobblers while believing that they are royalty. Very messed up people.

They probably don't mind going to work so much, they just object to having to do anything once they get there.

This is harder than playing video game and texting. And sucking down $10 cups of coffee drinks.
