Post by: tatoo on November 25, 2019, 07:39:49 AM

Who can we blame for this, gen-X'ers for raising these SOBs?  Boomers for spoiling their grand kids?  Or is it smart phones and social media?

Well it's your generations crappy parenting. Telling them "they can be anything they want" etc. leads to self entitlement. Thinking they are better etc. for no real reason.

Reality check ensues eventually. But often too late.

By trying to find reasons for their behaviour you are removing from them their personal accountability, perhaps the thing they lack the most.

It's the schooling system combined with flaky parents who believe that their kids are "special". Schooling system includes 4 year universities.

Over the span of the past 10 years I have hired well over 30 4-year college grads for my tech biz. The firing rate is about 50% in less than 6 months. They all interview well - I think they are prepped by the colleges. But when it finally comes to day to day work ethic or simple common sense- hahahaha. They suck.

The absolutely very best employees I have are from 2 year community colleges and have worked somewhere else for a few years before coming to me. People from this background simply get shit done. I will never hire another fresh out of 4 year college graduate again. The sense of self importance and entitlement is sickening.

I also had the opportunity to hire a few home-schooled teens as interns. Unbelievable- best young employees I have ever seen.

Well, that's the Generation who was told they could be anything they wanted in their upbringing. So they all thought they're gonna be self-made millionaires banging lingerie models, professional athletes or movie stars.

Now reality kicks in and they have to work for a douche like yourself for minimum wage. No wonder they're frustrated :D

You all may not agree with this but whenever I run into a lost 'kid' or young trouble-maker, I encourage them to sign up in the military...  and then let the military do their best to shake the shit out of him.

It worked for me ... and I'm pretty damn greatful.

There is a line from one of the brit comedians I I can't remember which). It describes a fresh electronic Eng. grad and goes something like this:

"Hi, I am Jamie, I have a first class degree in Electronic Eng. from Oxford".

"That's nice, make us all some coffee please".

I laughed my ass off, gradded with a first class elec comms degree, and made coffee when asked.

Girls and sons who have not been loved by their fathers seek attention once teens and adults to compensate for what they didnt have originally. Fathers either left them alone, or were distant most of the time and not encouraging them. Some even despised them which would shape their personality and the way they d interact with others for the rest of their life.  They are extremistic in everything they do, always looking exageratly for attention, and have troubles adapting to society's rules, because they also have troubles defining their own identity and respecting authority and hierarchy.

Also boys who got picked on by others during childhood and adolescence -often sons without a father figure- try to compensate by lifting weights, to develop muscles and survive in ther male world. They re insecure because they re girly, childish, feminine having been raised by a single mom. They lift obsessively hoping it will transform them into men, to compensate for their lack of influence from a father figure that was not there. Unfortunaltey they can get as big as they can it doesnt cure their insecurity and who they truly are, how they grew up being raised by a single mom. They re no as manly as other men whatever they do, and they often have a big lack of masculine presence they dont know how to balance, hence often being borderline homosexuals while trying to get their manhood back thru various manly activities (mma, cars, weight lifting etc). They are often the ones that, in order to get respect from other males will go the steroids route to get even "bigger" attemptint to cure their insecurity , but being natural not being "enough", they still feel "too small", insecure, amongst other males. The lack of a father figure also often means they didnt have guidance to continue studies and are often working shitty manual jobs.

Has it occured to you this has more to do with their young age than anything else. In another 10 years, they will still be known as Millenials or Gen Y. but they will be more mature and take things like getting to work on time more seriously.

I'm a baby boomer and I was consistantly late to work during my entire working career. Although, I was never fired for it. Now I am late to meetings. But I'm a volunteer and we are hard to fire.  ;)

Many feel they are too good for the job. They do have their college degree. (sarcasm) They think they are supposed to be in a corner office with a secretary and 100k car in parking lot. When they do a "regular" job they feel it's below them. 

We have a rent a car place three blocks from me I forget what chain and they will not hire high school graduates, only college grads. They feel they are too good to be a glorified cashier.

Do they get away with that excuse for being late in the military? Hey sarge - I'm young so cut me some slack...

I had a guy who was about 23 years old start showing up consistently late - like half an hour or more. He was our graphics guy- the "creative class". I cautioned him about the practice saying I could live with 15 minutes late if he worked 15 minutes later- but half an hour or more - nope. He agreed.

Two days later he saunters in 30 min late. I asked what's the reason and he had none. Fired on the spot. He was completely surprised- as if it was no big deal showing up when he did. It was a wonderful lesson for the remaining employees. We work as a team and when somebody doesn't show it screws everything up. He knew the hours going in.

I've known the feeling that I was too good for the job I had at the moment. How I responded depended greatly on how bad I needed the pay. We often do what we have to in order to take care of our responsibilities, such as rent, food, family and debts, etc. When I was a kid and still lived at home with virtually no real commitments, I quit a summer job pounding overload springs on to their housings. As soon as lunch was called, I got in my car and drove away...never even bothered to get paid. Although that was the worst job I can remember ever having, I did other jobs that drove me nuts, because I had bills to pay, a wife and two kids who depended on me.

Ask a senior in high school to divide 12 into 144 just using his head. Ask your son what CENTURY did the Civil War take place. Ask him to name the three branches of government. Name the four main countries in the Allied forces fighting the three main powers of the Axis forces in the largest war ever fought in human history. Hell, ask him what's the difference between the diameter and the circumference of a circle. Does the earth revolve or rotate around the sun?

There are real workers in every generation but we are at the top of an entitled social cycle and the average 20 something is soft as charmin - mentally for sure and some physically as well.

They're not taught discipline, respect and values.

It should almost be taken as a given that most will have poor parenting and will be influenced by social media, celebrity culture etc.

So the role of schooling is perhaps even more important now to prepare them for life.

If everyone else has failed them, the schools should not.

Ask a senior in high school to divide 12 into 144 just using his head. Ask your son what CENTURY did the Civil War take place. Ask him to name the three branches of government. Name the four main countries in the Allied forces fighting the three main powers of the Axis forces in the largest war ever fought in human history. Hell, ask him what's the difference between the diameter and the circumference of a circle. Does the earth revolve or rotate around the sun?


Most of them will fail this little test if they don't have their phone with them to look up the answers.  They do know that Trump is a racist dictator though. ::)

its a cycle

x3

Some kid grows up poor, gets sick of poverty, works like a demon to horde as much wealth as he can so his kid never has to go through the same thing.

The kid comes along and he's torn. Does the father use his wealth to give the kid the comforts he never had, or simulate the same harsh environment that made him so tough and successful? Invariably, he chooses somewhere in the middle.

Now, the son is easily confused: why is dad making things so hard for him? He gets the "lesson", but it rings false. Dad is uneducated, out of touch, and too hard--he's so self-sacrificing that there's nothing left! What's the point of working so hard, if not security and luxury? But security from what? Poverty? He lives worse than a poor person anyway, working like a dog and never indulging in the luxury that he can afford.

So the son gets a little soft... And who can blame him for being "entitled"? He had a good childhood--nothing like the hellhole dad fought his way out of. And now he has to work just as hard... For what, to become like dad? "Nah, i'll indulge," he says, and scrapes by. His inheritence is enough to ensure he never really needs to worry about himself, but what about his own son? Should he have one, or not? Well, its a tough choice. He's getting old without having made a mark. Loneliness is just around the corner... So he decides to take the plunge, overcoming indecision in a moment of recklessness.

But never having made a name for himself, how can he guide his own son? He never "succeeded", so how will he pass on the secret of success? And dad's fortune isn't enough to cover a third generation. So junior finds himself in the same shithole granddad climbed out of--son of a deadbeat, lost dad without a penny to his name--and echoes the same vow, "my kid won't have it this bad!"

Meanwhile, everyone wonders why they can't trace their family line back past three generations ::)

"Hordes of useless animals, wandering and falling without notice."

Every generation in mankind thinks succeeding generations suck. Our grandparents had it harder then our parents, our parents had it harder then us.. Its not true.

They thought tv was going to destroy us just like we now think social media's gonna do it. I work with plenty guys in their early 20's. They out work most of the guys in their 40's and 50's.

I work and hire all generations - from guys in their late 60's to women in their early 20's. There IS a change in this generation due in no small part to computers and automation. And yes, high schools blow these days. They got away from traditional methods of teaching math and science leading to a generation of retards. The colleges are far far worse than 20-30 years ago. The graduation rate at ASU (Arizona State University) over 4 years is about 55%.

As for TV destroying a prior generation? Well, it did in a way. And my parents definitely did have it harder than me. My grandparents- definitely! Living through the Great Depression and WWII was as hard as it gets. Life is a lot easier in 2019 and the current generation is weaker.

anyone else have this problem? these fuckers are worthless, 99 percent of them at least.. the entitlement, the phones, the laziness, the lingo, and just the plain stupidity... I honestly didn't think it was this bad.. I fired one last week for being 15 minutes late, 3 days in a row... he was warned  and was shocked when it really happened... and im just waiting for an excuse to get rid of the other one... id rather do the work myself or hire an illegal or a senior citizen... these kids are a waste

I don't have any out of 100 all 40 plus in the metro areas, 30 plus in the country areas, the millennial issue is far worse in the cities than the country, but its there too, but by 30 they usually have kids of their own and can still afford a house out there where they work, I find the worse millennials are the ones who still live with mom and dad so they aren't aware of any responsibilities, recipe for disaster.

They're not taught discipline, respect and values.

It should almost be taken as a given that most will have poor parenting and will be influenced by social media, celebrity culture etc.

So the role of schooling is perhaps even more important now to prepare them for life.

If everyone else has failed them, the schools should not.





No, it has never been the teachers role to be parents and providers.  I'm certainly not going to heap that upon teachers nowadays considering their compensation isn't commensurate with them taking on that role.  On the whole, teachers do a bang up job and care.  Most teachers that are there for a paycheck get weeded out fairly quick and/or don't last in the profession.  This is a technology/broken home issue.

We like to make generalizations, but there are many different situations where kids continue to live or move back in with their parents. Living with your parents past a certain age can warp your reality when it comes finances and responsibility.

There are various situations within my own immediate family that speaks to folks who live with their parents or move out as soon as possible. My four grandkids are millennials, two still live at home and two do not.

Idiocracy = Millenials. 

Is this generalizing my opinion on them just like stereotyping someone?

Yup.

But just as stereotypes are often based in fact, so too are generalizations.  I know a few good people that are "millenials" but most are lazy fuckwads that get triggered by anyone with what John called a "functional IQ", i.e. his term for "common sense".

Smartest man I knew.

Well, that's the Generation who was told they could be anything they wanted in their upbringing. So they all thought they're gonna be self-made millionaires banging lingerie models, professional athletes or movie stars.

Now reality kicks in and they have to work for a douche like yourself for minimum wage. No wonder they're frustrated :D

This ^.

Perfectly stated.

No, it has never been the teachers role to be parents and providers.  I'm certainly not going to heap that upon teachers nowadays considering their compensation isn't commensurate with them taking on that role.  On the whole, teachers do a bang up job and care.  Most teachers that are there for a paycheck get weeded out fairly quick and/or don't last in the profession.  This is a technology/broken home issue.

That's why American schools have so much bullying and school shooting massacres compared to other countries.

Many countries schools follow the system I mentioned.

But perhaps for those not brought up in such a system, and not experiencing it first hand, it will be hard to understand.

The role of a good school is to make every student a better version of themselves as well. Teaching discipline, respect, respecting rules and having an orderly system, wearing their uniform correctly, looking neat at all times etc

You know millenials? Do you have grandkids? If not, what are you doing hanging out with millenials?

I am still a working man and therefor I am around them during the day.  At my age I could retire but choose to contribute to my job for as long as I can.

This is not meant as a slight to those that are retired so please do not go there as I have already put you in your place with astonishing ease more than once this evening and it is more than apparent that you don't come here for the hunting.

Do I need to clarify that last statement?  I am in no mood to teach you another life lesson.

I'm just now starting to only hire retired, but now bored people.  I'll report back..

I have too many stories to tell with these youngsters.. Just sick of them..

Update:  "Retired but bored" employees are pretty much a C average.. They are slower at learning (especially computers) and below average at any hard labor also sales, but they are more respectful and way more reliable.
