I don’t care. I’m here for a few short years. I’m going to choose to enjoy the good things in life instead of moaning. Like a cold glass of water on a hot day, or a piece of cheese.
Guess what. Not working hard had even worse outcomes. I’m kind of scared for the future with so many Gen Z being huge slackers and emotional weaklings.
Work hard for what?
Look at the stories here.
Not everyone gets ownership, stock in a startup or something miraculous. And I’m older than Gen Z; I dunno how they even grew up sane.
You don’t need any of that to be successful. You just need a skill that pays and a willingness to work.
I’ll tell you what what! Theys gene Z should break their backs in the mines just like I did and my pappy did! Then master let’s you lynch ******* and that’s what life is all about, I’ll tell you!
There’s a big difference between working hard to get ahead and what you’re babbling about. I get the feeling from here that young people feel that harder workers shouldn’t be rewarded and slackers should earn the same.
That is so very far away from the actual expressed sentiment that I’m genuinely concerned that your underlying expectations of people and the world, completely hinders your ability to see reality at all.
Oh I see reality. I also see this next gen of workers coming in who are nothing like Gen X or even millennials. My underlying expectations are if you’re hired by someone be a good worker, work hard. Try to make the company better and if you’re good at it, the company will see this and promote you. Nothing crazy and nothing out of the reality that I experienced during my working life. Now I do see some new workers with the required social skills and knowledge to zoom up the ladder pretty quick, but that’s definitely not the norm.
Oh look another rube for the meat grinder. Skip your kids birthdays and sports games working late for the company, I’m sure they’ll understand
Or you can be a slacker, not make any money, and your kids can live in a shitty apartment in the ghetto. I’m sure they’ll understand.
That’s basically where we’re headed anyways.
I think you got to spend too much online if this is the mental attitude you have. There’s tons of opportunity and good jobs and unemployment is crazy low right now. Like I said, get yourself a skill or a trade and there’s a shit pile of money to be made and as much work as you’re willing to do. I mean it took me and most of my friends into our forties to really accumulate anything, but I feel like the people on here think they should be rich or that every boomer was rich in their thirties. That’s very bizarre and a big disconnect from the reality that it actually was for many
Or you can bust your ass and live in an apartment in the ghetto because no one wants to pay a living wage anymore.
Get a skill that pays well. Only takes a few years.
