Almost half of Gen Z and millennials would rather be unemployed than unhappy in a job, new research

[NinoBrown]

Nah fukk that. Its not about not going through the struggle its about going through the struggle for years and never going anywhere. The corporate culture resembles the political culture in America. A buncha young hungry people at the bottom ready to get in make change and advance with the times while 75 year olds hog the spots and the money and do no good for anybody below them.
Too many careers are treadmill status.
We as a younger generation don't mind working, we just want to get something out of it, we want results cause we can see the results but we don't see any of it being kicked down. We see the reports of execs making hundred million dollar bonuses yet the people on the ground floor can't get a raise to keep food on the table and gas in the car. Or we work for a company for years and still only getting 10 days off a year and they gotta tell us if we can take it on the time we want to take it.
Old folks call that paying dues, young folks call it fukking stupid and exploitive. Its not being entitled at all. It's waking up and realize that dream everyone likes to talk about is only that a dream and its not going to happen for most folks so fukk believing in it, give us a liveable reality that we're going to be stuck in.

Millenials had this happen to them in the 2008 recession and not much has changed since then. Pandemic Zillenials have it just as bad...

Unfortunately there are few options to truly thrive unless you are working a job or two, living with family until you are able to be independent, or work in a lucrative field.

The only living group who had it easy were Boomers and Gen Xers...Anyone born post 1980 got the short end of the stick....

6 figure jobs fresh out of college and even grad school don't happen unless you are in the top of your class or connected...

The non subservient generations



Gen x and boomers are some real "yessa massa" types

stop lumpin Gen X in this shyt. We couldn't get jobs outta high schools and buy houses and have pensions. Main ones paying for boomers Social Security and Pensions are Xers.

it's easy to have this attitude if ur living with your parents and have no responsibilities.

when u got kids and people that depend on you, u cannot adhere to this entitled mindset.

The reality is: birthrates are rapidly dropping because the heads of Gen Y and Z REFUSE to have kids. Willingly.

So now you got a bunch of childless adults, determined to change the status quo for the better. They aint gonna have kids like your gen (Gen X) until things get better.

The game has changed. Especially at a time when baby boomers are retiring due to COVID stress.

 

[Family Man]

You got the right to pursue happiness .. it doesn't say you're gonna get it

Exactly. The point is having the freedom to pursue it.
The Declaration Of Independence was one of the most important document written.

Not wanting to be miserable at your job is "entitled"

Also, don't blame millennials and gen z...blame their parents who DID go to work at places that they hated and then had their kids watch them deal with depression, hypertension, early onset arthritis from setting in chairs to long, alcoholism from trying to cope with hating 8 to 10 hours of their lives 5 days a week, etc.

All these millennials and gen z'ers saw their parents deal with all that and have decided...nah, not going out like that.

Bingo. We have a winner.

I disagree. When you have people depending on you, that’s even more reason to adopt this mindset. Friday and Saturday being the only good days of the week, is dead.

Nobody dealing with attitudes or addictions as ways decompress from work anymore. Normalize being in a good mood after work and generally feeling good about work.

 

[Wild self]

fukk those jobs and those employers.

You can't lie to the younger generation and feed propaganda about home ownership, family life and the American dream and be shocked when they're rightfully upset over finding out it was all lies.

Yep. Exploitation of low wages ain't cutting it anymore.

 

[You Win Perfect]

They gonna be STRUGGLING come retirement age.

Most people with these sorry ass jobs are gonna be struggling anyway, probably won’t even be able to retire. So why even work?

 

[Rockstar Mom]

I resigned from my job Friday. No warning. I just got sick off the the BS. Now the owner is in a frenzy. He offered to continue paying me for the next few weeks while I look for work, not knowing I’ve already been hired for a WFH gig And also allow me to keep my benefits until the end of the year, if I agreed “Only to speak well of the company going forward”

Why create a toxic work environment, if you’re going to be in a panic once employees start to leave?

I accepted the terms though.

Up until he stops paying me

 

[97Pac]

a lot more of these people aren't going to have kids compared to previous generations.

the cost of living ain't gonna allow it, especially if they don't wanna work jobs that they don't like

Life so stress free and easy when you don't have kids.

 

[Tom Foolery]

no one wants to work. I don't want to work. but I dont' dislike or mind my job. every job could be better, but considering I can work at the crib, I have a lot of autonomy, and I'm not inundated by meetings and bullshyt, it's hard to complain to be honest.

lots of gen z people are entitled. they expect their first job to be their high paying dream job. that's an exception, not the norm. and while my job is pretty good now, I had to work a plethora of jobs before I found this one. young folks don't wanna go thru that struggle.

You kinda sounding like this breh.

 

[Wild self]

Work takes up too much time to be miserable doing that shyt.
Im bout to spend at least 10 hrs of my day in horrible work place environments, doing a job that doesn't pay enough for the work I've already put in (college/previous experience), 0 to no chance of climbing the ladder.
Young folk realize it's all bullshyt and there's nothing that even resembles anything close to winning except for a very small %
Its too much info out there and corporate america can no longer control the narrative

Yep. These TLRepublicans all because of the younger Gens waking up and not working for dirt cheap wages anymore. Amazon drivers around my way are now making upwards of $35 an hour.

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

I don't blame them,

Whether you have a shyty low wage job or your unemployed, You have to live hand-to-mouth either way.

Might as well try to hustle and get public assistance.
