Where Did Young Male Workers Go?

Good for them. Well done

[Paladin2]

A bit late for breakfast.

I worked with a woman once who just wanted to be treated like one of the guys.

When we did she accused us of harassment.

Real estate is more often than not a hobby rather than a job.

[crusty old prospector]

I have three. College football coach, technical recruiter, and biochemistry lab.

As an old male worker I can tell you that years of telling young men they are rapists, stupid, racist, and no wanted or needed it’s no surprise that many are Going Galt in their own way. Screw the society that denigrates you, drop out, go on relief and take the system for all it’s got.

[Jane Long]

Ask Karl Denninger where they are.

[Jyotishi]

True that.

[sasquatch]

Two thumbs up.

[FamiliarFace]

Blue collar white dudes aren’t used to complaining in general. Well, maybe a little bit, but not about work, at any rate. ;)

[Paladin2]

South Street?

[RckyRaCoCo]

Being replaced.

[Ag88]

Mine is a beast of an electric lineman - makes more money than my management jobs pays, and he gets to work with serious dudes. No latte breaks for those guys.

I’ve been in the room with female superiors making comments that would amount to sexual harassment, hostile work environment if spoken by a man. Men tend to be results focused. Women often focus on personalities and gossip and many women don’t like working in that environment. I’ve seen women engage in campaigns of harassment in the workplace against men, women and gays. Men are dropping out, fewer college degrees, less workforce participation. Men have a tough time understand what their roles are. They’re mocked as foolish, for being toxic, for their feelings or not sharing their feelings, etc, etc.

You've put the finger on how Elon Musk could fire such a huge percentage of the employees and keep the lights on at Twitter. The fired employees were unproductive, woke fluff that did nothing for the efficiency of the platform. Musk pushed hard to see who could produce and cut the unproductive.

They're on disability....SSDI...”generalized anxiety disorder”,”gender dysmorphic disorder” or “post traumatic stress disorder”.

“Dropping dead from the Vaxx shots.”

The Vaxxxxxx is a factor. It is messing up minds and harming people physically to where they cannot work//// Or is makes them very work shy. They cannot handle commuting and reporting to a job site and putting in an 8-10-12 hours day. To repeat >>> I blame The Vaxxxx effect on minds and bodies.

The work from home movement is also a symptom of Vaxxxx injuries. They cannot handle commuting to work.

Now look at who has been streaming into America, over the Mexican border. The un-Vaxxxed millions. Replacement battalions.

So they’re undocumented pharmacist

And they were work from home scammers too. They were getting paid for shucking and jiving at home, for taking bubble baths, and having zoom meetings. And writing reports in full colors.

NOTE>> Coders can work from home. Coding can be a legitimate work from home job. At twitter or any company.

College, on the taxpayer’s dime.

Racking up Federally sponsored loans that will never be repaid. That these awful students (many black and minority) have no intention of ever paying off. It is Reparations.
