I don’t know, this is definitely possible but the “kids” that have come through our place are horrible.
Unmotivated, lazy and quite honestly stupid.
At least in my industry I do not see a very capable group of younger people.
Same here. The FAA drug test weeds out quite a few youts.
Same here,
“No Talent Primadonnas”
My Description.
I just turned 65 and
I’m Ready to Go!
The flip side of this is that older workers have been at the forefront of the pathetic fear-mongering that has destroyed our economy over the last few months. I suspect a lot of these older workers are going to be laid off simply because they’re still cowering under their beds and refuse to go back to work.
Where I work, it is hit and miss. They spend a lot of time looking at their phones. They can't cross the street without GPS. It's hard to make their values correspond to the companies values. A lot of leftism too. Not everyone, of course, but a goodly number.

Can FR just get a "LIKE" button... would be so much easier.
“Unmotivated, lazy and quite honestly stupid.”
and the ones i’ve seen like that lie about everything to try to cover their ignorance and laziness ...
My son just graduated from high school. Today, he took two college course finals and aced them. He was given less than 24 hours notice that he had to take the Finals today.
My son’s teachers told the class to stop playing around and making fun of my son because he effortlessly passed his classes. The teachers told the class that they will someday be asking him for a job.
Two months out of HS and is already a college sophomore. with a 3.0 GPA.
BTW - his mother fought cancer throughout his life and she passed away two years ago. He made no excuses and told no one, even his best friends that his mom was sick or died.
He wanted no pity or fake sympathy.
I am proud of my son!

Ditto. We go through a lot of young ones here who
do not have work ethic or common sense. One out of 15 is a keeper. Very sad.
Really true. I retired in 2017. A handful of young ones are great and can't help their generation any more than we could when the Who declared it for us.
Big point I learned from an Anthony Robbins talk (on CD):
They have confidence without competence.
I used to be a sales rep for several companies. I saw a trend where the factory bosses were getting younger and younger. Then they started to replace older reps with reps in their 20’s and 30’s.
I got axed about 4 years ago because I was 20 years older than my boss. Despite the fact that I knew way more than he did. He had zero respect for what and who I knew. He wanted someone younger that he could push around. A real piece of work he is.
So, I “retired”, got my real estate license and went to work for myself. Screw corporate America. I am on my own and set my own hours.

I don’t hire from Ivy League schools. The applicants think they’re entitled, they are opinionated and disrespectful of authority. Give me a hungry kid who is a sponge and is willing to run through a wall to please the customer and I’ll take him or her every time.
