Yikes. Result of texting and?--Companies are firing Gen Z employees soon after hiring them.

127. I just read the article

It is much worse than I had imagined. First, we have bosses or their agents spouting the same old whiny dishonest complaints about workers that are always trotted out in management circles. I would hope that Democrats would be sympathetic to the workers in those scenarios, rather than pushing the most manipulative and exploitative management positions on the issue and to then disingenuously claim that you are just caring about the workers.

The article and this discussion remind me of discussions I have heard among whites about "what's wrong with the Black family?" followed by "we care" and "we are just trying to help" and "you can't deny that there is a problem." Then, if anyone should object to that paternalistic and condescending clap trap, then they are accused of being the aggressor and the "caring" people who were "just innocently having a discussion" portray themselves as victims.

Just look at these excerpts from that article:

"...this generation, which refers to people born between 1997 and the early 2010s, lacks a strong work ethic, struggles with communication, doesn't handle feedback well, and is generally unprepared for the demands of the workforce."

"They [Gen Z] don't know basic skills for social interaction with customers, clients, and co-workers, nor workplace etiquette..."

"...a lack of motivation from the employees, lack of professionalism, and poor communication skills..."

"...they often lack the practical, real-world experience and soft skills required to succeed in the work environment..."

"... overly reliant on parental support ..."

Celerity is 100% correct on this.

We are not attracting younger people here. We might want to listen to what a younger person has to say about this.
