He's right about them not being lazy. They're not lazy and their not apathetic. They see the grind and realize that it doesn't lead to anything but more grind and they're not having it. They're sick of it. This Gen Xer is sick of it too.
That’s mommy told them anyway….
"I don't wanna work!!" Bunch of lazy babies!!
So, they're lazy.
Sorry, silver spoons are not handed out, you have to WORK for it.
Fact: "GENZ = I can't pack 48 parts in a hour."
Close the end of a 30 x 2 x 2 box, flip it over, put the part in, close the box and put a label on is the job.
At 66 I can still hit 65-70 a hour IF I wanted to work that hard.
Maybe if they were not in the phone booth, I mean the bathroom every 45 minutes they could do the job they agreed to do.
But like most anybody I have meet born after 1985, effort is too much for them let alo9ne standing on their on two feet.
Easier to sit on the couch playing video games with your hand out instead of doing the right thing, get off your and do something PRODUCTIVE.
Flip side. CEO is worth $6,000,000,000, employees are lucky to see $35,000 a year.
See the problem?
That is what they want, us fighting amongst ourselves while they open another bank account.
I disagree with the general societal narrative that it's entitled for the younger generation to expect that 40 hrs per week of work should easily cover a basic cost of living. Generations past got the suburb house with a picket white fence on one salary. Now people are often working 2 jobs + side hustles to make ends meet. I'm Gen Z and I've advocated for myself to get a full time remote role and recently a 15k raise after a year. I'm glad more Gen Z are pushing corporations to change.
What they won't tell you is most ppl want that too. But get told no. It's not right.
Most families in the 80’s and 90’s had combined incomes to do that in California. Young people didn’t expect to buy a home until they saved for years. People also worked for 1 or 2 companies their entire life. Everything cost less and corporations and people weren’t as driven by greed. Medical cost were far less. Everything is corrupt now. I saw one family income being sufficient in the 70’s.
Employers don’t want to hire anymore , some want you to have experience for what you’re applying for already it could be your first time ever how are you suppose to get experience if you can’t get hired in the first place
Maybe you're just saying this because your ovaries want you to have babies and stay at home.
I work with people across the board from every generation , most people are lazy doesn't matter the age. 90% of the work is done by 25% of every staff I have ever been on. The majority of people will do just enough to not be fired.
And if you think about it, all the older people say they wish they wouldnt have worked so much, or prioritized time with family. So is it really the younger peoples fault that they were tood their whole lives to do things differently. And now that they are trying to, they get push back.
5000 people on their deathbed was asked what their biggest regret was. Take a guess what almost all said.
They worked too hard and didnt spend enough time with family. Good lesson.
It is important to note we are not "choosing" to live at home, not buy homes or have kids. We simply cannot afford it. I moved out at 19 and had to move back just before COVID due to rising house prices. I'm 29 so technically a millenial. The job market is garbage and schools do not allow you to explore careers. The focus needs to be on in demand careers and teaching students the skills needed to succeed in these areas instead of sending evwryone off to college/university.
Ken rants about how bad gen z is for 10 minutes 😊
The oldest gen z is 26. And media has been complaining about gen z not wanting to work for like a decade now. So? It’s nothing new, people complained that Boomers and Gen X didn’t want to work.
All I heard, All the people in high school and starting college aren’t working. Isn’t that kinda obvious?
People have been complaining about gen z not wanting to work since I was 16. The only place gen z could legally work would’ve been a farm or family business.
Thank you, Ken. People need to stop using TikTok as the representative of the younger generations. My nephews and many of their friends are very hard working from what I've seen.
I’d like to point something out about job hopping. I’m going to get an annual pay raise of somewhere between 2% and 5% every year until I retire if I stay at my current employer. Even if I’m promoted I won’t get a 10% pay raise for the promotion. Yet if I switch employers I’ll get a minimum of a 10% to 20% pay raise. I’m in Gen X and I’m able to do the math. A 3% pay raise when inflation is over 5% is really a 2% pay cut! The only way for our income to keep up with inflation is to switch employers.
Employers don’t pay existing employees the going market rate for their work, especially long term employees. The going market to hire people is much higher than what someone’s salary is after 10 years in a role because those annual pay raises are less than the rate at which the starting salary for new hires increases.
Staying at a job for 20 years or longer doesn’t make financial sense. Employers need to address that if they want employees to stay there for 20 years or longer.
Another aspect is that Gen-Z is also more access to information than any previous generation in human history. At the same time Gen-Z live in a society which is economically, ideologically, and socially highly dysfunctional. Add to this the past 30 years of abundant demonstrations of predatory corporate behavior and deep disregard for their employees. The leadership of these companies grew up in a vastly different culture at a different time in history and have attitudes, personalities, priorities, and expectations which are incompatible with the younger people who grew up in this culture at this time. (I'm also Gen-X, about your age, and also remember the pagers and brick phones - I used those day-in-and-day-out in my work back then, and in college I used an Apple II with a 1200 baud modem, which was state-of-the-art at the time. But sociopolitically and socioeconomically and culturally we almost lived on a different planet (and arguably a much more livable, better place and time). New generations usually get the standard welcome (lazy slackers, as a Gen-X you certainly remember that happened to us too, there were even magazine articles that made the cover about it). Gen-Z is no different in their standard welcome. However, employees of any generation, including Gen-Z in this case, need to be managed from their perspective and their collective life histories. The older Boomer (and some Gen-X) management are attempting to be dictatorial with a completely incompatible social schema, and the oil and water aren't mixing. It's kind of like military generals preparing to fight the previous war. Better modern managers respectfully guide relative to the perspectives and lives of their employees.
I’m gen x and fell into the work hard work hard work hard. I’ve done that working many hours and many Saturdays. I’m glad the gen z is giving them the finger. A company gets your best years of your life. When you can no longer produce, they want you gone.
Yes you are right let’s also take into account… 1 vehicle, no internet, no A/c,the standard home was much smaller, entertainment was more in home, folks managed with much less… so I guess I disagree with the idea they had it easier. You want it go get it…. As a new entrepreneur out of the gates in a unique business… I’m not complaining but I have been literally at work for 3 days straight a couple times. The easiest way to become a millionaire is start a business… you are entitled to nothing… get up and go kill something…you are not entitled to a piece of my pie
I think high school administration should consider sending their students on field trip(s) into the workforce industry
Ken what makes you a career expert? Also why do you have a 30 year mortgage and is the HELOC paid off?
He makes money off of pandering to the narrative. Plus you can tell he hasn't done a hard day's labor in his life. I'm 26 and I'm certain this man is soft in the head and hands.
Im in the trades and im 25. You wouldn't understand how much bias there is against gen z. Ive had foremans that want to fire me just for being the youngest member of the crew. Tried CDL work. Same things.
makes so much sense
As someone who works in the service industry, I would consider old people more entitled than any young person .
You sound entitled yourself 😊
I think at the end of the day we all can be a little entitled, but I think most people will agree that when it comes to working in the service industry there are significant patterns to what groups of people will have a higher likelihood of being entitled and rude just because a transaction did not go their way, or just anything did not go there way.
For me in my location and in my business I have a tendency to notice the worst customers happen to be between the ages of 60-80, then second place is the 16-21 crowd 😂. And by far the best customers range from around 25-50 ish. I think a lot of this has to do with life experiences and growing up. It just so happens that old people regress, and start to become more child like and with that adds more entitlement, but hey what do I know, I'm just some schmuck on the Internet .
Employers don’t want to train anymore
@@victorbaird8220 butthurt never looks pretty
@kailback1093
exactly. I think these aformentioned "leaders" and "seniors" are just spitballing bullshit and arent actually analyzing socio-economic trends among young people including inflation, Cost of living and affordability of buying a home.
I feel like the guy in the video is attempting a middle ground fallacy to somehow quell both gen z and baby boomers but it doesnt seem like it is working
It has been my personal experience that most of the Gen-Z professionals are not too serious about their jobs.
It is true though. I wouldn’t hire Gen Z unless I really have no choice. I don’t blame them… life is different now. Gen Z wants more autonomy in their life that a 9-5 job wouldn’t accommodate, even if it’s remote. Their attitude to work is different too which makes it hard for them to fit into many jobs.
The biggest problem we have is getting them to actually come to work. Most of them do OK once they are through the door. We have resorted to having some retired seniors on call. Having no bills and no pressure to have to earn an income leads to them calling in for things I would never have admitted to calling in for. I really wonder how the tightening workforce will affect that. Over the last 30 years of hiring and training I've seen plenty of good and bad workers.
Does Pareto Principle work here?
"GenZ is the brocoli of people"

The food nobody wants to eat yet need
Who gets hired based just on a degree and not a skill set?
What is happening lol😂
Salary. Gen Z does not want to work for these bs salaries
Cancel em.
most of what he said is true.
Stop saying "um". Remove it from your vocabulary. You can't make the comparison ypu are submitting because the internet is here with Z.
Their attention span is the shortest. Thats not a positive thing.
That’s good that means you have to provide more to get their attention. The bare minimum in leadership isn’t going to help they’ll just switch jobs for more pay.
That's from their upbringing where a long attention span was often more negative than positive. In an extremely (excessively) fast-paced environment deluged with information, long-attention spans and high focus equal lost opportunities (gaining one thing while losing 100 others).
