If I read the article correctly it’s a statement on Gen-Z’s feeling about work and happiness - in Singapore. I remember seeing programs on Singapore and reading other information. They have tons of public resources, healthcare, etc. and it’s not hard to envision that it might be easier for a young person to be out of work there than somewhere else not as economically developed (e.g., Singapore has the second-highest per capita GDP in the world). Lot’s of money floating around the place. I wonder what the results would be in another country like the US.
I saw that it was Singapore too, but initially I thought it was about the United States. Which was odd as I had read an very, very similar article about the same generation pertaining to the United States within the last week.
The attitude is pervasive. If the job interferes with their enjoyment of life, they just quit. My work requires staff be able to work around the holidays. Animal lives depend on them showing up to care for them. I had a colleague have 5 staff members quit the week before Christmas, before the schedule even came out! It takes a team to rotate shifts so everyone gets holiday time for family or friends. Those 5 selfish, spoiled brats only saw themselves as important. Not their fellow team members and not the lives of the animals in their care. They assumed we would pickup the slack, ‘because we are older.’
Selfish, spoiled, unwilling to sacrifice, unable to act like a team member, unable to see how the small picture fits into the big picture.
Yes. Your comments are what I was alluding to.
It’s a luxery to not have to work.
