Just last month, 27-year-old Robbie Scott similarly went viral on TikTok for insisting that Gen Z isn’t any less willing to work than generations before.

I want to leave my current job and I have 12 years of experience, applying to jobs that need anywhere from 3 to 10 years, applied to just over 100 so far, and I've had one interview for a posting requiring 5 years. No others. In that interview the guy said wow that experience is exactly what we need, about 3 times, then they emailed me the next day saying nah no thanks
Oof, that's rough. I feel like everywhere wants the exact perfect candidate now, and would rather not hire anyone and keep throwing money at interviews rather than hire someone else.
Good luck with your hunt comrade
