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.
The author doesn’t blame any of the generations in the article. She says that millennials are workaholics because they graduated during the 2008 crash and were forced to go “above and beyond” to keep a basic job
Ah, my bad. My rant was more aimed at general news that I've seen in the past and not that article in particular.
Good advice, but I have lost minimum wage jobs when I first entered the workforce during the late 2000s and early 2010s for refusing to work unpaid overtime. You get called into the office and they give you the "We really need you to prove you want this job by not refusing overtime. Also you're expected to come in early. (also unpaid)" I think thats how we got the reputation for being job hoppers, because we kept searching for jobs that didn't do shady shit until we realized that they're all like that.
It’s ironic that I grew up conservative and anti communist, but just seeing the pointless suffering my family had to go through working brutal blue collar jobs just to support us, having every student pool in for school supplies because the teacher was broke and so was the school and also many individual student, and eventually working manual labor myself for a few years made me more communist and despise loyalty to the fuckers who cause this.
Unironically, if the US was one of those socdem European countries that liberals love so much while ignoring its exploitation of the global south, I would’ve grown into a casual liberal who supported his country and company. I suppose I have to thank the Great Satan for helping me realize the woes of our world and not falling victim to being comfortable with exploitation.
Their greed and stupidity is their greatest weakness. They can't help but go full fash, and as history shows, fascism always leads to collapse. It is inevitable.
