Gen Z Employees Not Popular with Employers

[TerryMiller]

While most of the article is negative about Gen Z employees, there is a ray of hope in the end of the article by a couple of people.

Here's Why Companies Are Rapidly Firing Gen-Z Employees

I work with a variety of generational periods. The 2 gen zs there are absolute garbage. Rude, disrespectful and lazy. Can't get them let go cause the upper management opinion is some help is better than no help.

I can't keep up anymore. Too many generations. Guess that means I'm O.L.D. I dunno about that but I am definitely TIRED ...

Sounds like if a person is aggressive worker and does his job efficiently and quickly, that they will inherit the task of completing the Generation Z's job as well.

I suffered through a trip to Walmart yesterday. Man how I hate that place. Much like @PBramble said they’re keeping their jobs because crappy help is better than no help apparently. Saw probably close to 3 times as many employees as that particular WM needed. Probably 75% were literally just sitting around outside enjoying the sunshine or standing around scratching inside. Your consumer dollars at work, uh…er….. not working.

For everyone who forgets or didn’t care.

...they’re keeping their jobs because crappy help is better than no help apparently...

Same at many full service restaurants here in Tulsa too. I've told many managers that my service issue is a teachable moment and more training is needed.

I have a few grandkids in the Gen Z ranks. All gainfully employed and hard workers. They pretty feel the same way about the others.

I've got two - one working full time, the younger in tech school, and he's worked up until he started tech.

It's fun to watch all of the "hardworking" older generations b*tch about the generations they raised.

Saw a video the other day where a guy posted newspaper clippings from modern times back to the late 1800s, and they all said "no one wants to work anymore". It's nothing new.

It's nothing new.

You’ve got that right, it’s a predictable cycle.
“Hard times make for strong men.
“Strong men make for easy times.”
“Easy times makes for weak men.”
“And weak men make for hard times.”

Same here, two with one a freshman in college and the other a senior in high school. Both work and believe in a good work ethic, but their mother and I were very firm on that growing up. Both of them put their grandparents through hell on birthdays and Christmas as neither of them ever want anything. Makes buying them presents a chore.
