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

Because, the vast majority of people DON'T pivot into products. They think the YT check is the end all be all. But you can OWN your landing page, products, personality and appearances.
You do NOT own You Tube. So you can't control it. Plenty of channels get shut down daily which just ends that revenue stream. Lots of Gen Z don't understand that until they've already been hit.
They're young. How to pivot all those views or likes into products. This is shyt they just need to be taught. Much rather they learn about shyt like that than slave away at some bs job for bs pay

And to your final point, those are people who were already business owners. This topic is about young people (Gen Z) quitting traditional work because they think there's more opportunity in being an influencer or streamer or whatever. My point is to say that it's not always the case, in fact, very FEW get to make influencing their full time thing. Even look at some of the people who are "influencers' they have an angle from their day job. Marketing, Real Estate, Entrepreneurship, Tech, etc.
Go re-read the first post. It said they're" creating their own streams of income". There's endless avenues for doing that today.

A bunch of :flabbynsick: spineless bootstrap talking c00ns came in automatically assuming the only way to create your own steam of income was as a social media influencer and nothing else.

Brehs should be helping to teach Gen Z some of the knowledge you were sharing in your past few posts to help them become smarter and better entrepreneurs.

Instead theyre wagging their finger on some all yall Gen Z are lazy, yall need to put down the tiktok and go back to work for massa. Stop trying to create your own lane

I don’t mind that they’ll quit when they’re done wrong, I admire anyone willing to cut losses when their dignity is at stake.

However, I feel like a lot of younger people I see in jobs nowadays aren’t really good at the jobs either. Like, there’s a grocery store up the block from my house. I’m in there like every other day making groceries. There’s this one young male cashier who irks TF out me because he scans the groceries like he’s mentally slow (no offense to those with mental handicaps), put stuff in the wrong bags, everything about him is slow. I can tell it’s out of sheer laziness and lack of interest. No desire to do a good job or even work efficiently, just waiting to leave.

Even compared to how I was when I was younger. I’d say the only difference between me now and back then is that I would MOS DEF cut ties with an employer now if they did me dirty BUT my level of professionalism and work ethic has always been high since my first job until now.

That work ethic I don’t see in all the kids working out here. That makes me sad because i realize that they’re not trying and expect to be handed things just for showing up. Entitlement will ruin the culture.

The older generation is mad at Gen z for quitting but we don't care, I just recently quit my job because I felt uncomfortable and found another one. These companies treat their employees crazy and expect you sto stick around. I 'm not sticking around to be abused by power drunk people.

Well maybe he is slow. I haven't really saw a difference with workers age wise in grocery stores.

I'm Gen X and I do jobs dirty. Last job that pissed me off I left in the middle of an ERP integration. Told the manager that he better pray he never bumps into me in them streets :mjlol:

I'm a straight ass hole to jobs. Since I've been working remotely I play around with jobs in my local area. I'll apply and ghost them when they want to set an interview. If they are really close by. I'll even go to the interview. They will offer the job and I'll ghost them.

Look at the shyt they pull with people. I only do what my job asks. I don't volunteer to do shyt. I'm there for a paycheck and that's it.

I clown Gen Z but they are spot on about the workplace.

Nah, it’s pure lack of esteem for his work. I’ve seen him enough to know he’s fully capable. Dude just doesn’t wanna work.

Well I can't say that I blame him. shyt pay and you have to deal with some entitled customers.

Capitalism is by far the worst concept ever. A select few live overly comfortably and the rest get peanuts. The people have the power but are scared to use it. How in hell they got masses of people to fall for this bull shyt workplace is beyond me

Just wait til they get bold enough to just not work at all...it's coming and rightfully so. I look forward to seeing people who fight tooth and nail to keep this system in tact be forced to watch the shyt crumble.

Not Gen Z, but I have had 3 jobs in the last 10 years. And these are not odd jobs. These are jobs in my degree career path.

I am not sticking around just accepting 2-3% raises a year. If I see no hope, I bounce. I have already started looking for new jobs now.
