The most common word used by today's employers to describe the new emerging workforce is 'entitled'. So leadership expert, Eric Chester, decided to tip that term on its ear and ask employers what they feel entitled to.
The video montage you're about to see features actual employers sharing their true thoughts and feelings.
In a perfect world, business leaders would employ a workforce that's engaged, enthused, and ethically unassailable. The reality, of course, is that the new emerging workforce is streetwise and techno-savvy, but they've not been taught how to succeed in the workplace, at home, or at school.
Eric Chester is the leading authority on developing work ethic in teens and young adults and leading Gen Y employees to achieve at their remarkable potential. His presentation will illustrate why the work ethic in America has declined, and he'll provide solid, actionable ideas and tools for developing the young worker and restoring the pride of a job well done, instilling within them the work ethic they should have received at home and in school -- but didn't.
Discover the 7 Indisputable Core Values that every employer demands from every worker, and why they are getting harder to find but are essential to develop. Find out how to promote a workplace culture rooted in reliability, professionalism, integrity, and respect.
Learn how to be an 'up and over' leader, moving employees from "Idle," "Lucky," and "Cheating" behaviors into the "Valued" Quadrant.
Improve customer service in your business to break free from a "vending machine mentality" by learning how to instill an attitude of gratitude across your front line.
Eric Chester is also a hall of fame keynote speaker on leadership, customer service, and developing young talent. His clients include McDonalds, Wells Fargo, Harley-Davidson and Wegmans.

"You're entitled to be my slave and if you don't like it you can try and be someone else's slave but they won't treat you much better"
"I am an employer, and I have jobs."
Problem here is, we are assuming things about people, and their work ethic before we have even met them. Those kids at the beginning are entitled to a decent living, this is the USA. We are making blanket assumptions, that they don't have a clue about work and responsibilities. Where did that come from?
If you pay me minimum wage you get minimum effort. why should I work harder than minimum you're literally paying me the minimum?
With that "tude dude" you are entitled to never advance your position or pay.
@@lipshitz2012 don't tell them, they won't listen.
The rich are not entitled to my labor.
Then start your own business.Or starve.
@@lockitdownduck4033 You first, good luck running your business without labor. It’s a two way street.
This video assumes that work ethic has disappeared because students are lazy and entitled. The disappearance of work ethic is a rational reaction to the disappearance of employer loyalty. Why do employers expect today's grads to work as hard as older generations when most are rewarded with less money, fewer benefits, less training, more job pressure, and no retirement or job security?
yeah pretty much.
Another millennial not understanding how things work.Go by their rules or quit Free country.
Your wrong.You sound like a typical spoiled college grad who has no clue.But knows everything. Business adapts and changes to demand.If there are less workers in a job field they give more.Jobs with lots of workers to choose from ,less
My problem with our generation of employers is that they think they are entitled to what I think how I feel and what I like. Sir you hired me to do specific job I will do that job to the best of my ability but my political leaning, lifestyle and free time is none of your business.
Alex K true
You're entitled to what my collective bargaining agreement says you're entitled to.
Watched for a homework assignment...
As a long time employer, I thought this was a very conflicted video that sends the wrong message. Neither employees or employers should throw around the "entitled" word... it does nobody any good. In 2014 the best employers know the realities we face today and our only option is to do everything possible to provide an amazing place of work. And prepare to be disappointed at times, it goes with the territory. But don't let the disappointments make you think you get to act, ironically, exactly like the very employees you are speaking to in this video.
You're entitled to what the contract says you're entitled too.
Sad loser alert
@@WhatCanSmith You're the loser
These kids were told their whole lives about jobs and the lie that they will always be out there for the picking. Our entire culture is based upon the steady income only a constant paycheck can provide. These kids are not to blame
There are jobs out there. But many people ( young and older) that are looking for work don't want to work at those jobs, they want jobs where they get paid really well but don't have to do hard work or work evenings nights or weekends.
@@cnault3244 Boomer alert.
This video is conflicting in its message. The kids being interviewed at the beginning of the video were all college students. Some were grad students. The majority of the employers asking for diligent workers who had "good jobs" appeared to be in industries for non-college educated people: food service, factory, construction, reception...Granted, those jobs require skills, but what is the video trying to say?
be a good leader employers. don't look at people who are going to kiss your ass. look for people who want to grow. it's unfair that we always focus on the perfect image but we never give people the time and day to develop that image. this is a relationship that is crucial if you want to find success. inspire your employees to do better not because your life depends on it but because the relationship of a great team has good composition and works together to achieve the same goal. acting like an asshole and treating your employees like slaves are not going to help you. they hurt you in the end.
Right, and the industries represented by the employers are skilled, not necessarily "college" type jobs. They asked what college kids were entitled to, then interviewed employers with many "skilled" type jobs. When I've worked as a server, I had to show up an hour early and leave an hour late--all for a little over $4.00/hr.
wow shows how much they don't care. fair pay should be something that should be a law.
..And it also isn't my fault that some institutions of higher learning possess all the charisma of an upscale auto dealership and are still pulling out those tantalizing future wage/earning prospectus charts and utilizing the "Get your education, secure a position with a great starting salary @ a reputable company, pay that student loan off in quick sticks, and it's all upward gravy after that!" sales pitch they sold to potential alumni back in the pre-downsizing late 80s/ early 90s...
This should be required viewing for anyone who is employed or wishes to be employed!
Everybody who is alive is entitled to remain alive. Some bosses don't think of your as a human..but a disposable human. They often place your life in dangerous situations and they know it.
You are entitled to screw them over if they screw you over. You will be walking out the door with out your last pay check..but never let anyone treat you as disposable.
Then don’t work for that kind of boss. Here is the great thing about America -- you have the choice to leave an untenable situation.
@@aeromedical6750 there's people who run into a barrier and they have a hard time trying to get themselves out of it. it doesn't help when people have a cutthroat attitude when it comes to business. solutions may come for some people but for the rest of the people who are stuck. they are going to stay there. they try and try to do what it takes to be a responsible person but it just never seems to work out. I know a lot of smart people who are great workers and great people that people would kill for to have them on their team for work but won't get hired because of how much expectations employers have that are just plain unreasonable. everyone knows that we should work hard but what can we do when things become unreasonable and employers get away with terrible behavior when it comes to poor work environment and poor treatment of workers. trust me getting a job is not as easy as it sounds. if it was then I would be employed already and working right now instead of typing this comment.
@rjtheripper931 - first of all, if you are working in an untenable situation and choose to stay there, that’s your choice. You’re “stuck” there if you choose that course. I’ve left two jobs in my lifetime because the situation became unbearable. I’ve also worked through a situation when I was on Active Duty in the Army that I couldn’t just walk out on. The bottom line is this -- no one can hold you slave to a job in this Country.
@@aeromedical6750 well that's you dude. some people can do what you can do which is amazing and great but others simply can't because of how big of a roadblock that they hit. they try and try and try and they never make any progress despite evaluating their options and showing the talent that they possess to employers who don't seem to want to develop a click with a potential candidate. instead the competition for getting a job just becomes unreasonable because employers are asking to have people kiss their ass instead of building a productive team environment that gets things done efficiently. think of it as like training a dog. the dog doesn't speak your language and you don't put time and investment into training the dog but when it comes to the dog listening. it doesn't and it does whatever it wants and you get frustrated because it doesn't want to listen to you despite what you put into the relationship. which was nothing by the way. however if you work with training the dog and allow it to make mistakes and correct and guide that dog. it's going to be a good companion to you. this is what we need to have in order to have a productive work environment. we can't always assume people are lazy and don't have experience. we need to find steps and give these people opportunities to make them hire able. let's give people skills that employers need and want to help them grow a successful business.
@rjtheripper931 -. You have a HORRIBLE attitude about life. If you sit around thinking about ways to miserable in you job, guess what - you’ll discover you’re in a miserable job. And no, the vast majority of employers are not asking you to “kiss their ass”. They are asking for you to show up and give your best effort on a daily basis. Maybe you’ve just chosen unwisely. I happen to be in a profession where teamwork is not only expected, it’s valued. You don’t speak for me and present yourself as if your speaking for the vast majority of people in the workforce. Don’t flatter yourself.
I don't think the grad students are looking to be construction workers, receptionists, or factory workers anyway.
How do you know that? Graduate school isn't all fluff and games. There are big projects to complete by specific deadlines. You have the right to think you deserve more after going through that and feeling like you have a lot to offer an employer or even society than scanning plastic bowls at the check-out for $7.25 an hour. That doesn't mean those won't work hard. I think this video is off in showing low-wage employers vs. highly educated students. Makes no sense.
Devrie Wise how do u Know how highly educated they are ...and that doesn't matter anyway u don't have to be highly educated to do some jobs . Ojt can't be taught in a classroom
What the employers didnt say publicly:
"I'm just gonna give those jobs to illegals and train them up cuz they'll eventually do it right and settle for half minimum wage."
I'm surprised no one said they wanted to start a business and work for themselves.
My school showed this to all of us and my teacher hated hated this video lmao
Employer is not entitled to anything any more than employee. Its a two way contract and any company would be nothing without its workers.
I hate this bullshit where they go around talking like they are giving something to the emloyee. Like hell, you are buying service from them. If you have fired people for petty reasons, you have no right to expect loyalty from your workers.
As an autistic person I confused by something. It feels wrong and dishonest to display enthusiasm for something one doesn't feel enthusiastic about. It feels fake and it's dishonest. Yet, employers claim they want honesty. If one is forced to put on a false display of enthusiasm when one is not enthusiastic then how is one being honest? Employers have contradictory standards that I as an autistic person can never fit into.
These employers are hipcrits and likely inherited their position from family. You are correct, they are exploiting people. The employers are entitled to have their shit stolen and their jobs showed up their asses for how poorly they treat the people who support them and make their business possible
@@hud86 enjoy your life of mediocrity
Jane Anderson - You obviously didn't make it to the end of the video where the employers creed clearly states - "If you live up to these entitlements, then you are not only entitled to a paycheck, you're also entitled to me living up to these same high principles." No one is asking for a teen to arrive to a job only to send them home, That's not the norm, and you know it.
Name one employer in any industry who doesn't expect all of these 7 behaviors. Shame on me? No Jane, shame on you.
Hell yeah preach on
I'm entitled to split shifts and waitressing jobs when I'm really doing dishes in the back. I am entitled to a shift drink that I have to pay for while out on a field where there is no bathroom for five hours. I am not entitled to a raise because I need my crappy job and am at the mercy of my employer. Let's be a military dictatorship. Please.
No...But the late 80's/early 90's "Get a college education and secure a job with a 50K starting salary" pitchline is getting kind of passe 20 years later, especially with incredible student loan debt, and nada to show for it...
any one in high school that graduates can go to collage and get a high paying job. but reality an employer will higher someone who has collage experience and who was actively participating in school events (sports). someone who has worked all through this instead of a person who has all a's that person didn't haven't the street skills that the other person had
Fantastic video! I love the contrast between what students think they are "entitled to," and the thoughts of real employers who have jobs. Thank you, Eric Chester, for championing the cause to revive work ethic in America!
“... and how many of these TPS reports would you say YOU deal with in a daily basis?”
“... mmm yeahh”
College students who actually put in the effort and the work and take schooling serious do deserve to have a job, in my opinion at least. The employer does decide that, and I think some jobs should be worth more money than others, but I think the effort you give and the work you put into it decides what job you get and how much you're paid.
+Lindzey Fisher You just don't get it. . NO one is entitled to a job.....with or with out the education. The education is what YOU do for yourself so that you can get a better job and make a better living. This is the downfall of many not realizing what you are entitled to and what you must earn. You are only entitled to the paycheck WHEN you do the job.
No one 'deserves' a job. No one has a claim on any one else's life or liberty. You'll have to provide market value if you want the market to value you.
I’m joining Lindzey in the land of fairy princesses and cotton candy. SKILLS, not education are what make you deserving of a job. If you have them, and can demonstrated them, you will never be without a good job. I have been with the same Company for 15 years. While I have technically applied for the 6 promotions I have received during that time, all were offered to me based upon my skills and reputation. If we can get people under the age of 30 in today’s America to understand this, we’d all be so much better off.
@@aeromedical6750 well what skills did you have when you were just a rookie barely entering the job market
@rjtheripper931. I had the most important skill you can have in the workforce. I had an incredible work ethic. I was also willing to take on positions of increasing responsibility and seek out opportunities to build my skill set. Landing your dream job is not a matter of luck. It’s a matter of putting yourself in the best circumstances to allow the opportunity to present itself. Next question?
I believe that not everyone is entitled to a job or a certain pay. You may be the best person for the job, but if it wasn't for the employers you wouldn't have the job. Also, if you aren't going to follow their rules and live up to their expectations then you don't deserve their offer or spot.
Eric, this is excellent and going on my social media networks. Thank you for your efforts to revive work ethic and make a difference in an America raising children of indifference.
I did not say anything about post-graduate study...I said that regardless of position or salary/wages, an employer expects one to be present during the specified hours and do the specified work as per the occupation description...If it's not the type of work, nor wage one wants (or both), simply leave it and go find something that offers something more challenging and/or desirable...It's not my fault companies are more interested in cutting back than giving qualified people opportunities...
LOVE THIS VIDEO...........................No employee is entitled until you become your own boss. STOP your crying and start working hard to get where you want. Don't think someone will hand it too you.
Computers are 11 years from reaching human intelligence. You can wipe the boot polish off your lips now.
It is true that you should got to work earlier and work until the ever end of your shift. No one deservers a job you have to earn your job. You have to work for the job you want because their are other people that want the same job. So if you want a good job then work for it.
Bootlickers never have a conclusion to their thoughts. Just meandering nothings like this.
@@WhatCanSmith Failures like you abuse people who earn a living - and you are the nothing in this equation.
Yes college students are entitled to a good paying job, considering all the work, money, and dedication they have put in. Although, the employer is in charge and decides whether you even get the job or not. So if you want a job you must abide by the employers rules. They rely on you to look professional, to learn and excel in the job, and to grow the business. If you follow these expectations, then you're entitled to a paycheck from them.
+Brooklynn Jodway College students aren't entitled to a job they are only entitled to the grade they get for the work they do....then entitled to a diploma if they succeeded in getting all the credits. You just don't get it. . NO one is entitled to a job.....with or with out the education. The education is what YOU do for yourself so that you can get a better job and make a better living. This is the downfall of many not realizing what you are entitled to and what you must earn. You are only entitled to the paycheck WHEN you do the job.
If I'm scheduled for a specific time I'm showing up at that specific time. If you want me there earlier than that then schedule me for that. Otherwise I'm on time.
Yes and, these entitled people are glad of it. They 'will' favor one over another. Your guess; which one? Why? UAW Assembly line OKC GM.
I believe that not everyone is entitled to a job or a certain pay. You may be the best person for the job academically, but if you aren't going to be loyal and a good employee you don't deserve the job. If you don't want to work hard on the job, and follow the rules and expectations of the employers, you don't deserve that spot.
Good stuff, Eric!
ALHS auditorium be like:
"E-N-T-I-T-L-E-M-E-N-T CREED"
Yeah, your entitled to pay me anything you want as long as it's minimum wage (less if I wait tables). Your entitled to make bad decisions that make my job harder, or worse get me injured. If you really make stupid decisions the company goes under and we all lose. Your entitled to make me stay past the end of my shift if someone doesn't show up. I'm essential personnel when the weather is bad so I gotta come in, I'm not so essential when you cut back hours or lay off. These clowns can take their pompous attitude and "shove it ". I wouldn't waste my time working for any of them. I'm not just fresh outta school, I've been in the work force for close to 50 years so I know what I'm taking about. If the jobs they are talking about are so good what are they doing wasting time making videos, they should all be busy making lots of money and satisfying customers. I've heard their BS for close to 50 years. Treat employees the way you want to be treated and you'll have less problems!
Jim
You're entitled to not work at a place if you don't want to be work there.
It's a shame...Colleges built high dollar administrator salaries and multimillion dollar "Pharoah Monument" building projects with the incoming tuition from the entitlement creed's aspirations...Seems to me, the educational institutions are the only ones getting the "entitlement" in this deal...and the creed got sold out...
The message rings through loud and clear! This is a must see for every high school student who is entering the workforce... along with their parents. Eric, all of your early work with youth and your leadership to corporations who are struggling with this new emerging workforce is coming together brilliantly as you move into this next challenge of helping all of us teach the values of work ethic. Amazing!!!
Yes college students are entitled to a good paying job, but the employer decides that for them. If it wasn't for the employer student wouldn't have the job in the first place. And they have the right to tell them how to dress and how to act in the work place. It isn't just a job for them, it's their way to a good life also.
+casey ade You just don't get it. . NO one is entitled to a job.....with or with out the education.

then reality hits...
lets agree the truth is somewhere in the middle
I work in trucking. Sometimes I have to wait hours even a day or two for a load, and as I am waiting, I am not making any money. Is this unfair, yes, but sometimes freight is slow. In my company, the number of miles and loads that I do also reflect onto my dispatcher's pay. If I am sitting not making any money, my dispatcher is making less money. I am expected to be ready for the load. Kids are expected to be ready to work, no matter if there is work or not when they show up.
to be fair most of these employers are from industries that doesnt require college or any form of higher education,and there should be incentives to pursuing said education..but noone is ENTITLED to being employed or a good wage.
Not true
Do you "add value" to my business ?
The only question that matters.
do you kiss ass
God this makes me laugh.
People mixing up Hard work with Tedious work...digging trenches will a shovel is hard work..
Getting outta bed to push a pen half a day is tedious...sometimes.
I can see a lot uni kids here gunna be rioting in the streets because of a sense of entitlement.
They're probably all in antifa (or the proud boys, same coin).
hi
Sorry, but if it is a "free market" society, why don't the employers just hire better workers if they have such a hard time with the ones they have? It seems to me people comment on the pimple faced burger flippers and their lack of "work ethic," then point to hard-working college grads to show their "entitlement mentality," when we don't know much about that "type." Some of those kids are going to make bank doing very little, while others will bust their butts FOR very little. Just weird.
As someone who has struggled and worked mostly menial jobs until I BUILT SKILLS/EXPERIENCE and started my own business...WITHOUT A COLLEGE DEGREE!...These selfish pricks (kids in beginning) are not "entitled" to ANYTHING! - Yes they have more education...but that doesn't mean you should be GIVEN a job... To quote John Wayne in a well known Movie "I don't *GIVE* Jobs, I hire men!" Now that is sexist by today's standards... But as an Employer, I don't GIVE JOBS, I HIRE EMPLOYEES! - Treat me and my customers right, and you will be rewarded VERY WELL...Do a mediocre job, well, expect mediocre treatment until the next "Go-Getter" pushes you down, and or out...That Isn't *FAIR* ? Well, sweetheart...LIFE ISN'T FAIR!
@blogging4jobs Start your own business with your own hard-earned savings or credit and then let us discuss your thoughts on the employee/employer divide. Until then, you keep living that entitled dream.
Great video. As the co-author of the Complete Idiots Guide to Great Customer Service, this video should be a must watch in every employee's ramp up period. Every high school student and college grad should watch it. Job entitlement is earned, not a right by birth. Great job Eric.
Yeah, I'm all for employees following the rules, showing up on time, dress codes, etc. but saying that students and young people are being entitled brats for asking to be paid fairly or living wages is fucked up. Just because you were too scared to ask for fair wages back in the old days and willingly broke your back for peanuts doesn't mean I have to. I'm tired of the old song and dance of the employer demanding all these things, taking the majority of wages that THE WORKER HAS MADE FOR THEM and calling them entitled when they're brave enough to ask to be paid fairly. (Which shouldn't even be considered brave or a thing people have to do in a civilized society. But the US is more of a capitalistic society so there you go.)
You want me to dedicate the majority of my time and life working for you? You want me to do the best job possible? Then pay me. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
If this was a relationship between two people, it would immediately be labled as abusive, dysfunctional and one sided.
These entitlements seem like common sense that they would be expected of me because after all my employer is paying me to be there. I must be getting old hahaha
You're entitled nothing regardless your degree. What are you worth to the company? You have to prove your worth.
i guess i disagree. seems like employers are talking down instead of talking to potential candidates and employees. this just demonstrates the actual divide between employers and employee. it feels scripted for the employers but then the candidates they asked didn't take is seriously.
59% became a failing score in 5th grade.
69% became half of a failing score in 9th grade.
79% became substandard in college.
And now 89% is unacceptable. Well, at least there's a linear progression.
Devrie, obviously you haven't been in the work force very long because every industry has positions for college grads. The difference is you don't get to start at the top, you aren't entitled to. Go out and talk to any company in any industry, most will have college educate people heading up their management and leadership teams.
I understand the relation to the end and the beginning of this video. Although you've gone to school and have a degree doesn't mean you should automatically get paid top dollar. You need to show you have skills, are able to do what your employer asks, and gain some experience to get paid top dollar.
I like the theme, "I am entitled to you being here @ the specified hours, and doing the job that is expected of you"...
Unfortunately, the kid's feedback is not going to be supportive... :P
start filling out a resume bub.
Excellent video.
Back in 1988 I had a talented young graphic designer come work for me fresh out of college. He admitted (to his chagrin) that his professors had convinced him that there would be a beautifully appointed office just waiting for him once he had his degree. He imagined a bank of windows, leather chairs, and a top salary. Reality was a cruel mistress, but he was a great employee. My point is -- it's not always the students that dream up this nonsense.
Poor Millennials 😳🤪🤪🤤🤓
Do I detect a note of sarcasm?
All High School students need to see this.
if you don't understand the message behind this video- you are whats wrong with america
Where my welfare check at?
The path to the middle class seems to be closed. Perhaps you do owe $20,000+ in student loans. Perhaps you *do* need a job that offers $40,000/yr in order to pay the bills. But employers who once needed high school graduates are now vying for you to work for them instead. And the employers who you had trained to work for are looking at that guy with a Masters degree instead.
What has happened? Divide and conquer the labor force. Your entire labor force is cheaper when you require higher credentials to fill the job than the job requires. It *does* create inefficiencies in your labor force; but employers today seem to not mind those inefficiencies if they can get a college graduate working as a secretary for $11/hr rather than a high school graduate for $15/hr the way they used to.
The kids were right. They deserve a living wage
Is this a parody page? What a joke 😂
get a job!!! or are you-tube videos considered a 'job'?? If so...your work standard is substandard! !! The video was not very realistic because you can tell you asked the college students what they felt they deserved or were worth as an employee. Very different ?? than what they feel they're entitled to!
not wasting any time on you kid., goodbye
