Gen Z person refuses to work at 8 am, his boss is mad.

I'm sorry but Gen Z is just smarter, they know enough about corrupt employers that they won't be push overs as everything is freely available to look up. That's the issue here when employers get all hurt want to complain on live TV, talk about cringe.

The way this guy handled his irresponsible employer was good though, I liked his response. If it's a 9 am start day, it's 9 am, if it's 8 am it's 8 am. As a person who is recently looking for a job, I can't tell people how much businesses are lying about everything literally. It should be illegal with how much they lie 🤥 honestly.

People are tired of the work force like Gen Z, they know their worth. They are over worked, underpaid and they know this.

We can talk all day about how we're working harder because the system is screwing us over and because of corruption we now gotta work 8 to 16 hours, six days a week almost to make ends meet, when it wasn't that much before but that's not the point.

The point is that Gen Z knows their worth and is not having it, so good on them.

My parents are the baby boomer generation and they had it drilled into them that they work hard and sacrifice their family to get things done. Work is number one.

I am a Millennial so I started out with that thinking and as I worked with younger generations I can see their point. You only have one life to live and you don’t owe all of it to your employer.

I sacrificed my own health and well being for my employer. For what? They don’t care about my well being. All they want is productivity.

There has to be work/life balance and no one should be a slave to their employer.

@iamonfire696 You just drove home my point perfectly, specifically -

I sacrificed my own health and well being for my employer. For what? They don’t care about my well being. All they want is productivity.

On a side note, I can hardly believe that some Millenials are now in their 40's. It just doesn't seem possible to us old decrepit Gen X'ers 😄

I think it was at some point in the Millenial span that people finally realized, "Hey this "live to work" gig is BS."

@Punches Honestly though, why are we doing this? Why did our parents do this? I broke my ankle and went to work and walked on it broken for 2 weeks before the doctor would finally X-ray it because my feet had both swollen from being on a plane so he didn’t listen to me about the ankle pain.

I should have been home and resting but I was at work and I damaged my ankle permanently. I also went to work through a 21 day migraine/cluster headache episode.

They don’t even give a 💩. You’re 100% right on the live to work BS.

@iamonfire696 even recruiters will tell you that you should be an average employee, if you want to move up in a position, it's about face time with management, not about how hard you work.

A recruiter straight up said that on his YouTube channel. He says most think you earn your position but most people move up because they figure out how to get face time with important people, not how hard you work. Employers don't care about that so basically the baby boomer generation believed a lie.

Now, I don't doubt a small portion moved up by working hard, it just doesn't happen as often as people think. The harder you work, the more they expect you to do and you'll actually get fired if you don't live up to expectations since management already has how you are in their mind.

@SatanBurger it’s a complete lie but that’s why you see the older generation saying that the newer generation are lazy.

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

@iamonfire696 you think that the older generation would eventually catch on due to stuff being more out there than it was before but I guess they are selective and shows you can still be in a bubble

@SatanBurger They don’t, they still think kids should be able to buy houses, get married and have kids.

It’s way too expensive to do any of that nowadays.
