After complaining for years that Gen Z grads are difficult to work with, bosses are no longer all talk, no action: Now they’re rapidly firing young workers who aren’t up to scratch just months after hiring them.
The numbers are stark. According to a survey, six in 10 employers admitted they had already sacked the Gen Z workers they had hired fresh out of college.
Intelligent.com, a platform dedicated to helping young professionals navigate the future of work, surveyed nearly 1,000 U.S. business leaders. It found that the class of 2024’s shortcomings are shaping how bosses hire next—and it’s not good news for future grads.(snip)
So where is it going wrong for fresh-faced graduates?
Employers’ gripe with young people today is their lack of motivation or initiative—50% of the leaders surveyed cited that as the reason why things didn’t work out with their new hire.
Bosses also pointed to Gen Z being unprofessional, unorganized, and having poor communication skills as their top reasons for having to sack grads.
Leaders say they have struggled with the latest generation’s tangible challenges, including being late to work and meetings often, not wearing office-appropriate clothing, and using language appropriate for the workspace.
Now, more than half of hiring managers have come to the conclusion that college grads are unprepared for the world of work.

When I had physical jobs in my youth, I'd come home exhausted. My father told me to get a good 8 hours of sleep, and I would be fine for the next day. When I moved into a career where I used my mind (Engineering and Design) my father also taught me that I needed a different type of a break to rest my mind. It took me decades to recognize his advice. Two different types of muscles. Two different kinds of rest.
Both equal, and important lines of work.
The really good ones will have to do the work of two people. The lazy DEI hire has learned who to attach themselves to.when the real high value worker gets picked off by an observant client at double the salary. The employer figures it out the hard way who was doing the work and valued by the client.
The kids saw their Mamas and Papas “work” from home and then complain about having to go back to work in the office. That’s the kids’ dream job. But the companies have moved on. They have AI.
the new 80/20 rule is 90/10 ...
Rough Post...
So don’t work for someplace like that.
No one is forcing you to.

Big digging isn’t just physical work it breaks their mind because after the first few pokes at the hard impenetrable ground they are convinced that the task of digging so deep and long is impossible, and they quit when they see how little they’ve done in an hour or two.
“ Late once and you’d be relegated to the end of a shovel for a long time.”
Which end?

Alright. They can make their own living. Their way. Socialism and communism never has worked for the long term.
Communist Russia fell apart after 70 years. That’s the best they did. Large effect after WW2. THEN pfffftttt.
LOL!
I went semi retired a couple years ago, and I started getting tons of calls lately trying to replace such people
Yeah thank God DEI was never forced onto businesses, right.....???
LOL, that was truly goofy, you appear to be unemployable judging from your posts.
In high schools today, everything is a group project where one student does all the work and the teacher only has to grade one project.students want their jobs to be group projects too. The no fail grading system is also a huge problem.kids figure out how to barely pass with minimum effort.
The reason it is hard to get a job at Costco is they hire only quality people - not ditch diggers.
I'll hire ditch diggers. And if they want to be better than that I can give them a chance. But they have to want it.
I also hire people who have a lot of experience in the trade.
But if those people don't perform they will be moved down the into the depths of despair and dismay - until they "dig" themselves out.
Plus they need to know what Ohm's Law is.
You however would not make it past a few days. If you make it past a few more post's on FR I'll be surprised.
In fact you should just quit now.
The socialist hive mentality of today's universities teach their hivelings that our private industrial system is systemically racist and sucks and they need to change it according to socialist groupthink.
Negativity and little to no initiative is the result.
and what’s so great about work?
