Do you agree with Gen-Z being so quick to quit jobs they hate

Just because you quit a ton of jobs doesn't mean you don't have a work ethic. There could be a myriad of reasons for job hopping. I do it all the time and ain't shyt wrong with my work ethic. Tech jobs are considered disposal at most companies. So zero loyalty is understood on both sides.

You think the majority of people job hoping are going it in high income tech fields?

I'm an older Millennial and I graduated smack dab in the beginning of the recession in 2007

There were cats that wanted to do their own thing back then too. Some made it. Most didn't.

Gen Z and those that follow will have their financial crisis too, don't think it's the pandemic.

This shyt is just a minor blip. The cost of living has increased but the pay really hasn't. And that's what people aren't getting.

Kudos to the young ones forcing change but at the end of the day, bills got to be paid and in NYC alone, there are 4 to 5 of y'all sharing studio apartments just to afford rent.

Reality will eventually set in.

Definitely emotional. My younger sister quits alot of jobs because she didn't feel like going to work that day or they scheduled her on a day she wanted to go hangout. But she always finds another job in a week and I'm just sitting there like:gucci:
Exactly, these people in the thread are playing dumb. I bet they all know someone like that because that is how a majority operate. The literally will quit because it's raining too hard...yes that happened.

No I mean being told to be on time or being corrected when they make a mistakes. Had people quit for both reasons.

:mjlol:

Yes people quit for the lightest shyt. I don’t think that ya'll really understand how advocating for 'not giving a shyt' is affecting this generation. It's not what you think it is. Ya'll only wanna think about it idealistically but aren't considering real life applications.

Except that's not what I said. ^^^ If you need to lie to make an argument it's probably not a good one.

I understand you WANT this to mean that you are more valued as an employee. And that might be true. But I was specifically addressing the long term implications of the mindset based upon my real life observations and experiences. Not everyone gets their information second hand.

Time will tell. I'm good either way.

What you are saying is a straw-man that i find to be a joke.

You don't think I peep how you always categorize poor working conditions as a 'minor inconveniences' and how you label wanting a job that doesn't suck your soul, as 'instant gratification'?:pachaha:

Don't worry, I think it's great too, I see how big companies are increasing their wages, offering more perks, negotiating with unions and being more competitive with PTO in private companies, keep wanting workers to shut up and take it because that's the right 'work ethic' and I'll keep cheering them on.:umad:

People were already the poorest they've ever been before 'quitting culture' started so clearly that wasn't working anyway.

It is still different with Gen Z. Gen Z by and large is foregoing marriage and children. A lot of the will to be a good and reliable worker in the past had a lot to do with the fact that people had families they were responsible for. They see how hard it is when you have a family and are saying fukk that shyt and doing the bare minimum because when you are only taking care of you all you have to do is the bare minimum. Reality will set in for both sides in around 10-15 years how fukked this whole set up is. By the time my son is finishing high school(which will be at the end of the 2030's) is when you will see the real upheaval, Gen Z is a precursor to what is going to happen not the end game.

Good for them on quitting a trash job en masse. Anyone talking about 'loyalty' at a company isn't thinking too much. A company will dump you in a heartbeat, so what is there to be loyal to? There's not like there's a retirement plan at these companies anymore. The longer you stay, the longer you will be underpaid usually.

Again not a boomer. Why do ya'll keep falling on that?

And it's not hate. I literally went from entry level to OM in 8 months because of the culture ya'll promote. My job security is 100% because the rest of ya'll would cry and quit as soon as it rained too hard or you had to stay 15 minutes later.

:mjlol:

The shyt benefits me amazingly. I work 5 to 6 hours a day and I still look like the hardest work employee. If anything ya'll are making it easier for people who want to work.

However I manage these people. And it's nice it works for you but I actually talk to these people and know how their life is going. It's not theory. Just making an observation.
did I call you a boomer or did I say youhave a boomer mentality? There's a difference. you don't have to be a boomer to have a boomer mentality :mjlol:

who gives af about job security if they hate the fukking job. That's what's you're not getting though your head. The folks leaving your job ain't jealous or concerned "Job security" it's not like they're getting fired THEY'RE QUITTING :mjlol:

And maybe the high turn over is because people just don't like you as their manager :sas2:

No. But there isn't any real downside that I can see from an employee's point of view. Employee churn increases wages which have been stagnant for decades. There really is no benefit for employees to stick around at a company long term.

I see talk about how these gen Zers are unloyal. What is there for them to be loyal to? I also hear talk about them 'going underwater and being flooded with debt.' They were going to be flooded with debt regardless. These jobs don't pay enough for these kids to live. They aren't going to be able to pay 1,400 rent, own a car and be able to pay off their 100k university fees with the trash wages they are being paid at these companies. Meanwhile companies are making obscene profits. If they don't think outside the box or leverage their ability to switch companies to raise their pay, they are headed right towards poverty. America is literally headed towards 3rd world status.

Yeah they definitely are an interesting generation. I'm just glad I was born in a time before social media and the internet was so prevalent. It's like I got a view of both sides. I see the importance of social media and capitalizing off it but I'm grounded enough that my success isn't defined by how I see people living off it. This is one of the most depressed but fake happy, emotional generations. They truly believe that everyone is entitled to a certain lifestyle and that's cool and fine but you still have to put the work in. Not saying work a meaningless job for 30 yrs but find a job that can be a stepping stone for the next move. Success doesn't come instantly. You have to get a bit dirty and that part doesn't connect to them because social media doesn't highlight that only the good parts.

Y’all claim to be the main ones complaining yet here you are advocating and borderline demanding that another group do all the heavy lifting to enact change that satisfies you….. It’s probably the most pie, non masculine shyt I’ve seen on here….
The sense of entitlement is crazy especially if they're black. If there's one thing they should know and understand by now is that no one owes you anything and you're delusional to expect as much. If you want anything you have to go work for it go earn it. This country is fundamentally structured to emphasize rugged individualism unless you're white and wealthy.

The majority of people dont want to do any of that. Most people want to eat and have some place to live. If that is taken care of they wont do much above that. You expect the profit motive to be stronger in a society where profit isn't necessary:dwillhuh:
Why is profit necessary and why is it that basic needs like food and shelter are only (barely) given when you are a cog in the wheel of the workforce?

nikkas sitting up here thinking that’s cool

majority of these Blacks that’s quitting are poverty ridden as is…

u nikkas sit up and only think about your situation and how u living

u got 14,15,16,17 year old ghetto nikkas leaving jobs that’s available for what?? To carjack and rob Walgreens’s for 200 bucks

I don’t care what generation it is, poor nikkas need to be working before u end up like old nikkas at the gas station asking for change
That's like the brehs out here stealing these chargers and challengers. They're literally taking a chance with their life to steal and sale a car to someone else for $1k- $1500 a car. Like what sense does that make

How is this going to work. Ya'll don't want to do the flunky jobs now. You think ya'll going to do them when you're getting UBI? :deadrose:
Breh they believe in some fantasy utopia or something. Hate to tell them but even with UBI someone gotta flip them burger patties and It won't be me. I did it when I was younger and it sucked so I put myself in position to never have to do it again in my life.

Changing the work place is cool but it still is only going to benefit those with good work ethics and the ability to see things through. Again ya'll talk in theory and I speak from experience. No matter how easy we make things for entitled people they have same attitude.

But it's all good. The unwillinness to put in any hard work benefits those with work ethic. If you do average work you look like a star. So quit, run away and be flaky and let the winners win.

Even the social media stardom that they so desperately crave takes hard work and consistency which is why all these young people aren't popping on social media. They just follow it.

If they were really as hard working as you claim them more would achieve social media stardom. But they don't because again success is for the very few with work ethic and the ability to see things through.

Poverty is coming fast and hard. It has nothing to with quitting but the lack of what it takes to be successful.
I'm in my mid 40s so I have tons of experience. These kids are doing the right thing. Of course they are going to have to settle down and focus on a profession or trade. But this was the first step. No more scared for your job type shyt anymore.

Companies see that they are losing control and are changing. They didn't think people would straight up quit when they said no more remote. When they did know they juelizing and back tracking.

Just at one of my remote jobs my supervisor said something slick and I said well I can leave today. I have recruiters almost every other day calling me about remote jobs. He quickly apologized and tried to clean it up.

So you got two things these companies have at them. The Gen Z not giving a fukk. Then the people with experience willing to bounce to a company that will fit their needs. Because they have the whole USA to get a job. Not just this their city.

Bottom line that rule with an iron fist shyt is dead. Any company still trying it will fail.
