Where’d they go? Living in mom’s basement making Tik Tok videos or playing video games. Sorry to say but this generation does not want to work. Recent studies have shown Gen Z values their time more than financial remuneration. Which, to me, translates into lazy lack of interest in working.
Have a young relative who is a manager with a large national firm and he is ready to change jobs because no one wants to work! Those they can hire are emotionally, psychologically, and physically fragile. It’s like a working daycare.
They value their entertainment. If they valued their time they would not watch Tik Tok videos or play video games.
Where did all the wage increases go?
I’m here - BUT car problems and now the cap on early SSI has my working choices limited. I’m working on the car problems first - at least one.
IF they would remove the cap on early SSI I would work MORE once I got working - more taxes collected for city, state and federal. And more incentive for me.
Hello Republicans - petition to remove the earnings cap on early SSI. You’ll get more workers and better workers, IMMEDIATELY.
Frankly, I’d prefer my old salary and no SSI (because I’d make too much) UNLESS they remove the earnings cap.
I am going out on a limb here, but maybe they took an “experimental” drug
I will join you on that limb and say They graduated from school without learning anything useful, but knowing all the genders and that we will all soon be dead from global warming or whatever is popular junk science, along with Fentanyl and other drugs. But most important, not actually knowing Christ as Savior.
That would be a logical conclusion IF the vaccines were effective.
My son was a GM in a national restaurant chain. He said what he saw was shocking. He couldn’t get people to work more than 1 pay period. They’d start, and work until they got their 1st paycheck, and then not come back. They would then go do whatever they were doing with that money until it ran out, and then get a job somewhere else and do it again. The company was offering signing bonuses (paid out partially over 3-4 paychecks), a good starting salary for the area that they were in, and promises of raises. NONE of it mattered.
My daughter was a GM in a national retail clothing company. She just couldn’t get employees AT ALL.
I have 4 dead and no quitters but with two sheltered with failure to launch
Its no fair looking at total deaths pre jab vs post jab. There is no way to massage the data to protect the public from thinking the obvious explination: the jab is more deadly than covid.
Yep. spoke with an older walmart employee (60 something) and she said the youngsters come in, get their first paycheck and that is it.
Also the really terrible ones think they shouldn’t have to work more than 8 hours a week. So it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. They are so horrid that mgmt. cuts their hours more and more until they eventually don’t bother.
Easier than firing them as most can be litigious activists.
No worries mate...plenty of replacement labor coming across the Southern border.
Only problem? You gotta learn Spanish.
“remove the earnings cap on early SSI”
Great practical suggestion.
My wife works at CVS and the few older workers stick around for years.
The young ones have stunning turnover—if they last a month it is a miracle. Invariably they do no show after no show until finally they are fired once the manager can locate them.
It would help everyone. I had to go part-time last year, earlier than I wanted to.
I don’t want to say it was the vaxx but.........
I am not saying you are wrong, but I can’t get a job anywhere in the McKinney, TX area. I’d even work at a Home Depot. I have a degree from the U.S. Naval Academy, I am a retired Navy Commander, and I also have an MBA and a PMP. I have applied at 100 places in the past month and not one call back. I’ve tried really pairing down my resume. Nothing.
who's gonna live till they are 65?
Im not working Christmas, or thanksgiving, the 4th, or presidents day and I want a paid 2 days for juneteenth!!
cant work, the superbowl is this weekend.
I'll worry about retirement when I hit 60.
Right now I want my nights and weekends off to do things, I dont live to work, Ive got my life to live, and I only want 40 hours a week.
Overtime is for suckers and stupid people.
none of these excuses are made up .. except the juneteenth one, Ive not heard that one, but figured someone has told their boss they were taking juneteenth off.
Not long ago employers had endless lines of applicants and they were able to keep wages stagnant for decades. You could be fired for any reason and they’d have 4 more people waiting to apply..
Those days seem to be long over.
