What work ethic?
My oldest daughter divorced her husband and moved back temporarily into our home with my 3 grandkids in 2008. One rule, maybe the only rule, was no phones at the dinner table.
My oldest grandson, 33 now, would come to the table and carry on intense texting sessions with his phone in his pocket! Little prick.
He still spends time on the phone, but he’s a shop supervisor at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard bringing home mid-six figure salary. It’s hilarious too.
He HATED the military when he moved in with us from Ridgefield, Utah. Now, he knows the error of his thinking. I really gave him the business the first time the Commander of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard gave him a public commendation.
Moral of that story, don’t count them out…yet.
Drives me crazy with my early 30’s daughter and ESPECIALLY her husband....ALWAYS on the phone even when having a conversation...or trying to have a conversation.
“mid-six figure salary”
$400,000 - $600,000 ?!?
I’m in the wrong business...
Already happening with way too many of them.
This is why I’ll never have to retire if don’t want to. I’ll end up babysitting these “professionals” well into their careers. It’s already started. Eventually just show up or remote in 2 or 3 days a week and get paid to keep things moving, tell them what to do when their phones or Google can’t, collect a SS check and not tap my IRA…not too bad.
A generation of parents constantly telling their kids they’re the Best at Everything, Participation Trophies, not keeping score in sporting events and they’re surprised they can’t hack in the real world? Whose fault is that?
I am almost 50. I put in 12 hour days with a broken foot. Now that it’s almost healed I am back to 14-16 hour days
Gave up trying to find help. Lazy and demanding to much pay (I was offering 25 an hour) had a few demand pto on day one so they could take time off in the first few days of working for me.
He works very hard. He was headed for prison or death during his high school years in Utah. Big risk taker and he had a fondness for bourbon. His dad is a functional alcoholic.
The best part of his life’s journey so far, he quit high school in Utah. Called his grandmother and asked if he could move into our house in Washington. Once here, he agreed to do what she said. Before long he took the GED course and got a high school diploma. Then a job turning wrenches which led to him working on a shipyard executive’s car which led to an apprenticeship offer.
Once in the door, it was like he found religion. The Department of Defense has been good for him. Apprenticeship, bachelor degree, electrical engineering masters degree and he rocketed up the shitpole to supervisor. Who knows where this will end up for him. A remarkable transformation in a little over a decade.
BTW-He has been able to come to terms with the alcohol, leaves it alone. Hereditary alcoholism is hard to overcome. Little bastard makes almost double of what I make.
exactly
Tell them the tray at the front door is for their phones—put them there when you arrive-—stick to your guns.
