Employers refuse to train employees. Employers hire employees out of school with no experience. Employer complains that employees behave like they’re poorly trained. Duh: YOU DID NOT TRAIN THEM!!

Gen Z has a different perspective on financial success compared to older generations, with many believing they need to earn significantly more to achieve financial comfort. A survey by Empower found that Gen Zs believe an annual salary of $587,797 and a net worth of $9.47 million are needed for financial success. This perspective is likely influenced by factors like rising inflation, the cost of housing, and the anxieties surrounding future financial security
Most of them really do believe all the bullshite they watch on TikTok, Youtube and Insta. If you only make half a mil a year how are you supposed to quickly become worth ~$10 million. I'm struggling with the math. You don't get to keep the salary. Taxes and bills eat up the vast majority of your 'wealth.' The scariest thing is the expectations. I read where they did one of these surveys and like 3/4 of the kids said they would definitely make that much money one day. Absolutely delusional.

Is this the thread where we bash a generation and ignore the generation that raised them?
at some point you have to quit blaming everyone else for you sucking at life. I don't care by whom or how you were raised. Its not an acceptable excuse for ghetto thug criminals and it isn't an excuse for shitty pasty skinned college grads.

but I do think what we’re seeing in Gen Z (not all of them but a lot) is that they have absurd expectations and have been ill-prepared for the workforce, particularly college educated ones.
Again, you can find this sentiment written about monthly for the past 100 years.
How lazy of a “journalist” do you have to be to think writing about the how 22 year olds are readjusting from adolescence to adulthood is a worthwhile topic?

Read the article:

Employers’ gripe with young people today is their lack of motivation or initiative

Bosses also pointed to Gen Z being unprofessional, unorganized, and having poor communication skills as their top reasons for having to sack grads.
You’re supposed to have all of that squared away before you show up to work.

Eh. The only people I've ever heard whine about not being properly trained were coincidentally 3 people that couldn't hack it at jobs where other people their own age who also came "untrained" stepped up and learned just fine.

Social media has corrupted this generation to think everything is an alternate reality.

THESE TWO BOYS are probably typical of thousands of American youngsters in the army now. They are well educated, obviously from good families, and intelligent. And they find army life tough for boys like themselves, from the mental standpoint. They're cussed and ordered around by “superiors”; with an I. Q. corresponding to that of a horse. Some of the old-timers seem to take special delight in browbeating anybody who has been to college. The boys can take it—but it dulls the keen edge of their enthusiasm for giving all they've got to the war. They don’t see why recruits can’t be trained on a basis of man-to-man decency. And yet, almost in contradiction to that feeling, they think America is in the mess it’s in now because we had got too soft. Nobody wants to work hard, everybody's looking out for himself, nobody wants to give up his comforts. And one of the boys said: “And another thing, people think too much about sex in this country. That's what caused France to fall. We're just as bad as they are.”

It’s a mix of both, but this certainly isn’t the case. It is true that young kids are terrified of person to person interaction, but it’s also true that many of them are severely underpaid, and the job market sucks.
Good for them for not wanting to be corporate drones for the rest of their life, but there has to be some push and pull. Employers want to yank benefits and stagnate pay, and young people don’t want to have their arse in a seat 40 hours a week. Theres a lot wrong with both parties

Do Millennials find Gen Z to be soft?
Kids are always soft. Every generation grows up and then judges the next generation of children as though they are adults. Z is annoying as shite now, but they'll be fine.
