So basically quit wanting to get paid for extra work. Also: Stop having something besides your job to live for.

HR and management failures being advertised as propaganda?

These clowns losing their grip on society lol

Paywall, here's a specific excerpt when you get past the clickbait bullshit:

So where is it going wrong for fresh-faced graduates?

Employers’ gripe with young people today is their lack of motivation or initiative—50% of the leaders surveyed cited that as the reason why things didn’t work out with their new hire.

Bosses also pointed to Gen Z being unprofessional, unorganized, and having poor communication skills as their top reasons for having to sack grads.

Leaders say they have struggled with the latest generation’s tangible challenges, including being late to work and meetings often, not wearing office-appropriate clothing, and using language appropriate for the workspace.

Now more than half of hiring managers have come to the conclusion that college grads are unprepared for the world of work. Meanwhile, over 20% say they can’t handle the workload.

In reality, colleges know that their students are wholly unprepared for the workforce, and some have started stepping up to fill the gap.

For example, Michigan State University is teaching students how to handle a networking conversation, including how to look for signs that the other party is starting to get bored and that it’s time to move on.

Meanwhile, a high school in London is trialing a 12-hour school day to prepare pupils for adult life.

Want to be more hirable? Attitude is everything When asked what would make college grads more hirable, bosses responded: a positive attitude and more initiative.

Intelligent’s chief education and career development advisor, Huy Nguyen, advises Gen Z grads to observe how other workers interact to understand the company culture at any new firm they may join. From there, it’s easier to gauge what’s an appropriate way of engaging with others.

“Take the initiative to ask thoughtful questions, seek feedback, and apply it to show your motivation for personal growth,” Nguyen adds. “Build a reputation for dependability by maintaining a positive attitude, meeting deadlines, and volunteering for projects, even those outside your immediate responsibilities.”

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently echoed that an “embarrassing” amount of your success in your twenties depends on your attitude—and the reason why is simple: Managers would rather work with positive people.

Some leaders have even insisted that a can-do attitude at work will advance young workers’ careers more than a college degree.

Richard Branson, the billionaire founder of Virgin, has repeatedly urged young people to ditch university in favor of the “school of life.”

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently claimed that raw talent and personality trump credentials.

To that end, Cisco’s top executive in the U.K., David Meads, dropped out of school at 16 years old. He told Fortune that “attitude and aptitude are more important than whatever letters you have after your name, or whatever qualifications you’ve got on a sheet.”

alternate title: "Bosses frustrated that Gen-Z hires aren't interested in becoming good little drones."

Fire the bosses. Bootlicking chuds, the lot of them.

I work in engineering in a college town--we hire a ton of interns and co-op students. In terms of Gen Z, some of them mess up a few of the "protocol" things (for example, we had one guy who wore cargo shorts one day when it got hot in the summer). But the vast majority of them are more than fine when we give them direction, and are great employees overall. In fact, percentage-wise, I'd say more of them have better work ethic than most of the boomers who refuse to retire (no, Richard, scheduling twelve meetings back-to-back isn't "productive," it's a waste of everyone's time). They'll boast about working overtime, but 80% of their day they're shooting the shit and producing nothing.

Companies these days don't want to pay!
