30 Times Older Generations Completely Lost Faith In The Gen Z Workforce

That's cuz it is, to the receiver.

The "reward" leads to more responsibility, promotion, management, avenues into better organisations. They've been spotted as having potential and walked away from it. If people keep quitting jobs because there's a lot of work involved, they end up being unemployable because frankly, in a Capitalist society, there is ALWAYS too much to do and barely enough people to do it. You don't make profits by having too many people doing nothing

It is unless it's paid.

And yet that’s how you earn advancement and greater responsibility. It’s not given to you. You earn it.

🤦🤦🤦 OMG, the future of modern society is bleak. When you live in a hovel with bare minimum sustenance *unless* Big Brother decides you "deserve it" you aren't allowed self-pity indulgence...your unwillingness to "be punished" by working and providing for yourself 🤷 was your choice and you blew it.

Would you rather have no money or have a raise?

Medical expenses is a BIG thing. It used to be that if you had a job, you likely had great medical insurance and a great pension. Both are rarer now. Yeah, the law requires you get medical insurance, but it's often TERRIBLE. And good luck finding a mental-health professional who accepts insurance. (My insurance is otherwise pretty good.)

I have medical expenses of $1,000 every single month...

You don't get those when you can't afford to go to a Dr

Yes but it's only the US that hates its citizens enough to wish them dead or bankrupt. Every fully developed country takes care of its citizens through a universal health care plan.

Only in the U.S. Every other developed country cares about their citizens.

Including the therapy we need because of the world they created

Dont forget about cats either

Oh, for F's sake 🤦 WE ALL have medical expenses!!

Why are we so forgotten though?! We've been the latch key kids and been screwed in every direction! Our parents both worked and got divorced and we got shunted around and were lost and now we still don't get a mention.

The only part of the boomers' experience that everyone seem to conveniently refuse to acknowledge.

My friend has a factory job and I'm a teacher. He has his GED, I wasted my $ on a master's. Before you even add in his over time he's making 4 times as much as me. About 6x with the overtime. He's the only breadwinner with a wife and 5 kids and they have 4 cars that are all less than 4 years old that came new from the lot, and he just upgraded to a half million dollar home about 5 years ago. Factory jobs can pay very well.

There hasn't been in decades.

What is that???

What about teachers with tenure? Or people who work for themselves? I get what you're saying but there are some smaller companies and some lesser-known instances where bosses are taking care of their crew.

In US? Maybe.

BTW there never was. Whoever told you there was lied to you.

I have tons of job security because I'm a highly competent and skilled individual who never does "just my job". Exceeding expectations is the expectation.

TRY WORKING WELL AT YOUR JOB. The likelihood of remaining employed are much higher when you meet, preferably exceed expectations; employers prefer actual work being accomplished vs. a warm body that checks their phone all day. 🤦

GenX, all Boomers I worked with got their annual raises their whole career. Finished college just before 9/11 and early 2004s, then recession. Never ever got a raise in the 2000s. Always on freeze.

Yeah! Like you'll never go anywhere if you stay at a grocery store forever

I agree. I feel like a lot of people in my gen(x) were waiting for that perfect job. They wouldn't do anything other than that job so than they didn't work at all. They grow up and finally get over it but a lot of wasted time when they could have been growing and meeting people.

This, and expecting someone under 25 to have the experience navigating workplace culture that a successful 55 has is unrealistic. When people complain about younger generations, I hear "we are unwilling to invest in training in our profession". It's the same philosophy as cutting R&D to increase profit: it's psychopathic and not in any way sustainable.

Indeed, every generation has its black sheep and good workers. Stop branding them all the same.

"Most?" What about the rest of them?

😂😂😂

At this point, it’s “to be paid a living wage” :(

The term "American Dream" was used to describe having a steady job that paid the bills and allowed for some luxuries (vacation, maybe a second car,) a house and family (spouse, 2 kids) and put your kids in a position to start their adult lives at the financial level you climbed to. This was really only a rosy view of being white middle class. It was never as attainable as we were meant to believe, but is now only possible for a lucky few.

To get out of America and live in Finland or other happiest countries.

The American dream is that thing back in the 1950's, which gradually faded out of common existence by the 1980's. After that, the promise was a lie for most.

Something that has never existed. It was always a lie. It wad never an attainable goal, but rather a dream, as the name implies. I fly in my dreams. Americans have stable jobs that give them flexible work hours and enough money to live and thrive. Same difference, really.

The American Dream is a concept that has been around for over a century now. It's the idea that America is the land of opportunities, and the dream is that anyone can become rich if they only work hard enough. But the American Dream has been bastardized, and so now only people born to wealthy families can get rich if they work hard enough. Having a spouse, a house, two to five kids and a dog used to be the standard for the middle class citizens. Now our middle class has been destroyed, nobody is having kids, and we're on the brink of civil unrest in most states. The American Dream died twenty years ago.
