More young people are saying the same thing: Salary and career growth are the most important things about a job. And it could explain why Gen Z workers are so much more unsatisfied with their jobs than their older colleagues.
Older generations are such bootlickers.
The boomer above me at work can't understand why we can't find new staff, to which I always reply, "we don't pay enough, so they can get a better deal somewhere else easily"
She always replies, "well, we don't want to find people who are only in it for the money"
Lmao, good luck with that. Every workplace is a shithole, so the idea of "company loyalty" is just a means for workers to put up with more for less. Younger people aren't falling for it.
I tell her nobody under 50 thinks that way, and she's not having it.
This shit makes me want to pull my fucking hair out. THATS THE WHOLE OSTENSIBLE POINT OF THIS GODDAMN SYSTEM YOU FORCED US ALL IN! That’s the “freedom of choice” shit they’re always banging on about. Ofc it only ever fucking applies to the bosses of course, us grunts are supposed to eat shit with a smile.
The last time I received a raise was 2017 and it was like 2% cost of living raise. I've been let go from about 5 companies since then. I've never been promoted either.
From all of these companies I've worked at over the last decade I have lists of professional references and people who would love to work with me again.
I have been loyal to a fault and have been punished for it.
Yup, companies are never loyal to you. They'll cut you out as soon as a better arrangement presents itself
I thought it's cause inworknin kitchens and everyone is Bourdain brained where suddenly being asked what my goals are as a line cook at a new job was a thing but I guess it's more ancient. I don't have to deal with that crap cause my skills speak for themselves but other people try to play this bullshit game instead of being food mercenaries
What do you think the odds are that they're still looking for whoever they think can ~~produce the most value~~ work the hardest and not whoever they think is the most fun to be around?
Bro, how does any employer complain about not getting good staff? Literally every job is flooded with hundreds of applications they're that spoiled for choice.
