Why are you pandering to a generation that has proven to be lazy and unreliable? Why not focus on better candidates to begin with and target older employees? Seems like Zoomers are getting a disproportionate amount of focus while at the same time are rather sub par when it comes to productivity.
And folks can downvote all they want, but that is just more proof that I am right.
Complaining about younger generations is an age old pattern:
" They [Young People] have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things -- and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning -- all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything -- they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else."
-Aristotle, 4th century BC
I'd say the focus is because they're the future workforce, whatever that may entail
We are doomed.
If success means slaving away for a company that exploits your labour then good, i welcome the doom.
I'll bite. How do downvotes prove you are right in any way?
Yeah that's always a stupid thing to say but it literally doesn't even make any sense here at all lmao
lmao
Ok boomer
One offensive ageist comment deserves another, right?
Yea
You're getting downvoted and rightfully so, but you have accidentally made a good point. Believe me, as an older Xer I am very aware of the age issue and look at all CVs (resumes) no matter what the date on the college graduation says and have interviewed people even older than I am.
Calling an entire generation lazy and unreliable isn't a helpful contribution to the community. I'm going to leave this comment up, but please be aware that it was a line ball whether to remove. Please be conscious of Rule 1.
