“The workplace is supposed to be easier than higher education.”
Damn right it used to be. My job never gave me an extra 10-20 hours of “homework” a week that I was supposed to do without pay. Though on the flipside, if I could skip every class in college and still pass the tests, the professors didn’t care, but work does want me to show up for at least 40 hours a week even if I can get the work done in 25.
No, but they are mentally ready to have their organs sliced off, or so the left thinks.
btt
“they feel burnout at least once a week in their careers.”
OMG. Pathetic little pansies.
“respondents believe that their time spent in college did not adequately prepare them to make the “transition” into the workforce.”
That’s their parents’ job. That should’ve been ingrained in them by age 14-16.
“Bosses should carefully inquire as to the feelings of the prospective workers”
Our friend told us about a man who hired a 28-year-old guy. After he had been on the job for three days, the guy’s MOTHER called the boss to give him instructions on how to speak to her son so he wouldn’t get upset.
It didn’t work out.
LOL.
Funnier anecdote that most fiction.
I did 7 days a week, 12 hour a day for two months strait during the first Gulf war and I wasn't even in the military.
Made a lost of money on OT and partied hard on my per deim.
Having to wake up before noon is hard for them to “wrap their heads around.” Really tough on them emotionally.
shocking that the participation trophy/helicopter parent generation for some reason isn’t ready for real life!

Much like my Brother-in-law. “I can’t find a job!” was his motto!
I found him a great paying job with great benefits and he said....”I don’t want to do that kind of work!” (same work I did for 31 years)
Then my other Brother-in-law found him a job and he lasted half a day before getting fired.
I believe the USA Army basic training prtocols include trainees being able to give ‘time out’ cards to training personnel. Essentially saying shut up and go away’ to training personnel. This is not new, it predates the Biden administration.
Good story. We have to get a feeling of satisfaction out of diligently working and contributing to society. We are seen as oddballs today.
I wish that was unbelievable, but unfortunately it is not.
“Do you want fries with that,” shouldn’t be much of a struggle.
Yup 😂
Our buttercups have wilted under mental health challenges with this powder puff college schedule:
“According to one survey conducted by the National Survey of Student Engagement, most college students spend an average of 10–13 hours/week studying, or less than 2 hours/day and less than half of what is expected. Only about 11% of students spend more than 25 hours/week on schoolwork.”
