I lead teams of about 100 people and we've been having a huge problem with hiring new and junior talent since the pandemic. People switch jobs very quickly. What I'm noticing for the new generation, those that are fresh and recent college grads, is that their attitude is totally different. They will quit in a heartbeat without even exploring options which may work out better for them. They sometimes don't even give 2 weeks notice which fukks it up for the rest of the team. They severely lack professional etiquette like emails and meetings. Some people don't even attend meetings because they have lunch or whatever. Some people talk to clients like their own friends. A lot of them severely lack basic math skills. A lot of them complain about having to work more than 3 hours a day. I think the pandemic played a big role in this especially with work from home.

It's also a candidate market so lots of companies just throwing money. Eventually things will normalize once people understand you just can't leave a place after 6 months and think you're going to advance your career.

This. Everyone is celebrating this but these Gen z folks are broke and living off their parents. At some point they will have to get a career. Very few of them are making tons of money off social media. Lastly, at the mid-to-high income level for white collar jobs, gen z is just as corporatized as previous generations.
Most of Gen Z are under 22 breh

NO THEYRE NOT WHAT?

DAMN NEAR EVERY GROCERY STORE,
WAREHOUSE SUPER STORE,
FAST FOOD SPOT HAS AN
AUTOMATED ORDER/ SELF CHECK OUT AREA.

STARBUCKS AUTOMATED
COFFEE MAKER IS COMING THIS YR.

THOSE MACHINES REPLACE PPL.
:devil:
:evil:
And every single one of those places still has a full human workforce.
All Starbucks still have the same number of staff (approx.), union or not.
The goal isn't to "replace" people with self-checkouts, the goal is to be as financially efficient as possible.

Have you been to a single place, in your entire life, that has been *only* machines?

This has been the laissez-faire calling card since the late 1800s breh - and it still hasn't come to fruition. The closest was manufacturing, but that simply led to the exploitation of human capital in third world countries - not the replacement of human capital.

Don't complain when immigrants come over and take all the jobs then.

But They are NOT coming in and doing those jobs anymore :pachaha:

Those scare tactics about "if you dont fall in line, those illegal immigrants will do so with less pay!!" aint working anymore :bryan:

Illegal immigrants themselves are walking away. Thats why fast food places are shutting down on 8pm on a Friday night and managers are complaining that those illegal immigrants are not coming in anymore.

This whole populist movement is a glorious sight :blessed: . Of course pro capitalists people are upset and cannot control these young Gen Z heads anymore.

What do you mean vast majority are struggling?:dwillhuh: Most millennials have college degrees or are Journeyman which means a lot of making good money

The coli makes it seem like 98% of folks are struggling and poor. :mindblown:
When it comes to earning power, the average Millennial's annual salary is $47,034. Still, Pew Research found that more Millennial households are in poverty than any other generation and that Millennials accounted for most of the nation’s renters


How Much Does the Average Millennial Make?

I disagree, and even if we don't we might see the social reform our generation was too p*ssy to go after. I'm starting to think our generation is more indoctrinated into our culture's bullshyt then I ever realized.

Some people of Gen Y are, yeah, but mostly Gen X gives into the irrational stunting and tiring working tropes of "bootstraps".

I mean shyt, employees have to give a two weeks notice before they quit, work on their days off, work overtime with no pay, while the employers can fire you without any notice, stay home and relax while YOU are working your ass off, AND profit when you work that unpaid OT?!!?

HOW SWAY!?!?!

What a paradox. :wow:

Top 4
don't blame people.

At my work a major hospital network non union staff are getting a raise of 1.2% picard

if you are semi skilled you can get a job paying 5-10k more while asking your current employer for a 5 - 10k raise yeah right

Keeping it a buck - - I don't blame Younger Millennials and Gen Z. These jobs be for the birds with their crazy, rigid schedules and cac ass kissing. If you ain't got something specialized, most likely you strugglin out hea. My dad worked at his only job with zero issue for 35 years - - that shyt ain't happenin no more.


With these gig economy, 1099 and remote jobs, man.. if I had this shyt in my twenties I'd have quit jobs mad early or at least went part time.

Years ago, I've quit an office corporate job and stayed afloat by driving for doordash and Uber eats and didn't give a solid fukk. That's how I knew I was done before I went self employed.

I was out hea delivering shyt for 8 hrs a day and that was less stressful than having a cac boss.

Gen Z, props to them, they looked at our lives and our parents lives and said fukk that shyt.

It had to be done :hubie:

The heights
I meant in regards to Millennials. I thought most of us were smart enough to realize the whole bootstrap talk is BS but I guess not.
i think younger millennials know that the pull bootstrap talk is bs but older millennials think dealing BS,racism,cacs and latinos taking crazy to them,long work hours,working 6 days a week for living wages and toxic environment is ok to them :yeshrug:
