Whats crazy is when I first started working in the mid-90's, the average starting wage was $10/hr. Rent was $300-450/mo for a 2 bedroom apartment, and I could afford to have a nice sporty car, a nice apartment, a full fridge, and money to go to concerts, travel, do activities with my friends. Now, I still see jobs hiring around $10/hr...same jobs, same pay almost 30 years later?!?!? Something is completely off with the whole game.

The “gen-z being unprofessional” trope can really be explained away by the fact Gen-Z sets boundaries within the workplace like never before. Older generations were treated poorly when they were starting in the workforce & “pulled themselves up by the bootstrap.” Now Gen-z entering the workforce is being told to carry more workload, with no promotion in sight & STILL not able to pay their bills. The motivation to “do more” is gone & the older generations just don’t understand why.

To play devil's advocate, I have met good and bad managers of all ages, and the worse ones can be at any rank within a company's hierarchy. Hiring doesn't want your personality, they want your efficiency, and if you work fast and well, you could be abusive and people would not talk back at you, even your bosses. Boomers and Silent Gen became abusive because of either traumas, entitlement or for being spoiled rotten, Millenials are abusive because the Boomers can't allow the wealth and work to be reshared, and Gen Z and Alpha are abusive because they have even less than Millenials, and Millenials couldn't ass with raising children because of unmotivated work grind (pretty much why so many of current children are "little emperors" addicted to smartphones and terminally online at age of 10-15. Really, we all fucked up.

And at the 9:00 mark, the answer to those issues is for employers and companies to quit lying to potential employees.

The new hire boss runs a very tight ship, and expects 45+ hours a week...be up front about it instead of questioning the employee 90 days after hire why they haven't put in any extra effort. Also, there is absolutely no need for 5 interviews. If you don't know by the third, the answer is no. That goes for both sides.

I have to respnd within 24 hours, but professors will take DAYS to respond. Went on two school trips, both for networking-indutry stuff: I was given an excuse letter to forward to my professors, I attached that to an email with some text saying I looked ahead at the schedule and asking when and how I will make up the assignment or exam. Some just never EVER responded, some will day things only in person. DONT TAKE THEIR WORD, like anything you need a paper trail. Send them a follow up email summarizing what they said and when it happened. I have had to do this before where I had to show all the times I reached out both over email and in person and they were still refusing my academic accommodations. For clarity, most univeristies have policies about excused absences like jury duty or active military, but at least mine DOES excuse for school related events, so they are required to accommodate anything missed. Going over their head is not for the faint of heart, but it is how things were straightened out. I agree, an emoji or one word email is unprofessional, but now I try to email profs exactly how they do to me, format, , amount of time to respond, formality, length et cetera. It is rich when they comment on my email etiquette…..

I disagree: You pay rent after taxes. The current rent situation leads into a situation where a lot of expecially low qualified personell is exuberantly expensive. It does not matter how low the qualifications of a worker are, he/she needs food and rent. Expecially at low income earners this hits double because they also move to a higher income bracket and suddenly have even less money after taxes (in percent). Workers are currently very expensive (not because they are greedy or they are actually actively doing financially worse but just because of rent).

Yes, exactly: Every worker pays too high taxes and retains too little of their pay whilst also beeing to expensive for the employer. Having to pay more for employees makes founding a new business too risky killing may startups in their infancy and leading to less sozial mobility. Having too high static cost leads to less job hopping and again too little sozial mobility. Beeing unable to move out early makes finding a mate and founding a famility impossible. My country has 40% more GDP than 2000 with roughly the same number of people living here. Living conditions are deteriorating nevertheless. Workers are too expensive and still retain too little savings leading to stunted sozial, technological and personal growth.

Every job I ever worked at has always wanted employees to work pretty much 60 hour work weeks with a little pay and benifits as possible. And when you do try and push yourself to work 60 hour work weeks (even in a hospital like where I currently work) you cant make nearly enough to grow a savings or get ahead on bills with the current cost of living. Rent in our area has gone up 300% in the last 5 years, as well as electricity, w/s/t but starting wages are still around $13-15 an hour.

This is the reason why we keep seeing record profits, executive compensation packages, and stock buybacks. All of these parasites are engaging in this BS, and we all will continue to be held back by it.

As an elder gen Z, I see first hand the “don’t wanna work” kick really taking the shape of “don’t wanna lack stability but also don’t want to be unfulfilled.” It seems like all my unlucky or even professionally unskilled friends are trapped in a cycle of “I see how unfulfilled my parents were and I don’t wanna do that” versus “I desperately need work,” so they take any job they can find that doesn’t make them wanna jump off something. Which is still underpaid and has no benefits. It definitely sucks

@@carolynracine6380 I've known people experiencing both situations; I wonder what makes an industry more or less likely to undervalue older employees? As an example of the opposite, one of my friends was a few months into her first job post graduation as a lab technician in 2020 when a bunch of her coworkers got laid off. When she tried applying for entry level positions those jobs were being filled by people who were more qualified to be supervisors, because suddenly there weren't any openings for higher level positions. Meanwhile my aunt has decades of experience in hospitality and event planning, but ever since the high end golf club she worked for closed she's in your boat-- getting sporadic contract work to train or consult younger employees. I just realized that in both of these examples the industries undervalued experience, but it resulted in different hiring practices 😅

I graduated at 35 with a computer science degree in 2020. It was a nightmare. I was unqualified for entry level, but with a decade of marketing experience I was also deemed overwualified for entey level. Thousands of applications, dozens of "informational interviews," and the only feedback was "get at least six months of experience at another company in the role you want and we'll hire you." They all said I was great and had all the skills, but needed real world experience. Never mind my open source contributions, only paid experience counts. The exception is jobs that said I'm too experienced (old) for engineering roles and am only a good candidate for project management. One person just outright said they're not gonna put a 35 year old on a team of 22 year olds. I'm still a marketing manager, just massively overqualified. And I'll have to pretend that my degree that coat tens of thousands of dollars and a few years of my life just doesn't exist or that'll fuck over my marketing career. It's hell. I'm terrified about the future.

My BFF and I have both been at this company around 20 years and he recently was in a meeting where people were expressing concern about employee burnout and retention and he told me that the Sr VP of Engineering blew it off, saying employees aren't loyal anymore - meaning the company doesn't need to try to make us happy because the employees don't care about companies anymore- but really it's the company has gotten corporate and doesn't care about us anymore so a lot of us have decided if this is no longer the company I took to the dance maybe I should get back out there and find a new dance partner. Executives are completely out of touch and sell each other BS to justify what they're doing. But also, once you get a job, keep it until you find another. It's so much easier to find a job when you're already employed.

Something I feel that's overlooked in these conversations is how nefarious and pervasive marketing has gotten. We are asked to spend money all the time and sometimes aren't even aware of what we're buying (tiktok shop, temu) etc. all while costs climb and yet we see these aspirational influences living these luxury lifestyles we want to emulate. It's pressure from both sides, but the pressure to spend has gotten out of control. Finance bros like to call out personal responsibility/budgeting but human willpower is limited and companies know this. I can't listen to a single thing without ads (unless i pay a premium, of course).

The thing people need to understand is that lots of the "rich" influencers use debt, scams, or their parents' money to fund their (unsustainable) lifestyle. The flashy new cars are often rented for the cameras while off-camera they drive a modest vehicle. Thats just an example, but its more common than people would like to think.

get a retail job or other minimum wage job well you're looking. I got a part time job at a liquor store in Jan 2023, within a few weeks of graduating because I knew It'd be a while. I worked their for 7 months before I got to talking with a manager there who told me she used to be a sales person at the company I work at now. She gave me a bunch of names. I reached out to them on linkedin and pitched my self and voila after 7 months of busting my ass hauling boxes of wine I landed a comfy hybrid laptop job. It kept my mind busy, I still was making some money and I met someone who was able to get me an "in" with a company. I kept working at that store until Jan 2024 part time but after a while I realized I truly had enough of retail when my coworker go pepper sprayed by a couple of women trying to stuff Hennessey in their coats well hiding in the bathroom.

I'm starting to feel like the narrative around college degrees not being useful in the workplace is just a diversion from the fact that companies refuse to invest anything in training these days. I'm a factory worker that works around engineers and they really just throw them into the fire no matter their age or experience level. There's no mentorship or training like in generations past. To me, this also plays into defunding education. If companies want to insist that college grads aren't worth hiring because of a lack of real world experience, that sounds like gaslighting and a way to divert attention from their own shortcomings in training. College grads complaining about the same thing are too young to know that companies should be the ones training them properly. However, none of this addresses the rise in tuition costs. I'm not sure how that fits into this. 🤔 Companies not paying us wages proportional to inflation of the last half century? 🤔

Anybody can read any material, that any college or university has, on their own. Professors today don’t actually teach anything. They just relay information that anybody can access and it doesn’t even necessarily have to be true information. So if that’s the case what are we really paying for when we go? Rent/bills (dorms), food, and professors. And if your college is anything like mine was, they were always downsizing when it came to the students.. football program gone even though so many were still wanting to play. Food options were atrocious and got worse each year. perfectly fine boys dorm (with actual suites) building was shut down bc the university made a deal to turn it into a k-4 for mentally disabled kids.. on OUR campus. Those plans fell through but did they reopen the dorm? Nope. Instead they retired the oldest boys dorm too and switched every other dorms so that the ones that were the girls’ were now the boys’ and now all of a sudden there’s at least 1 co-ed dorm😂 one of the girls dorms roof came clean off in a gust of wind after I left the school but they’ll definitely construct a nice little fountain and put in a brand new soccer field instead of date the rooms or bathrooms🤔

Every generation is supposed to be in a better financial situation than the last. We want our kids to have better than we did. I am Gen X/older Millenial, and my grandparents grew up in the depression. My parents were baby boomers. My dad was in the Air Force and my mom was a cafeteria worker at the public high school. My parents had a 4 bedroom house, 2 cars that were replaced with a new one every 3 years, and they could afford to send me to boarding school/private schools. I moved out at 17, worked 2 jobs, started a family when I was 20. There have been times where me and my spouse both worked 2 jobs each, and still couldn't manage. My partner got laid off in 2014, no notice, no warning- showed up for work to the factory locked up with a note saying they had shut down. Benefits gone, and no final pay check. He had worked there 15 years. House gone to foreclosure by this event. Our kids who are in their early 20s have nothing to show for our hard work. We can't pay for them to go to college, we can't help them buy a new car, we can't help them with their rent. Because we can't afford our rent, and our cars are 30 years old. Kids were more than welcome to stay living with us, but they wanted their own places, which I understand. I am always buying them whatever I can to help them. But it crushes me that I couldn't afford to give them what I had growing up. It's not supposed to be this way. It makes many of us feel like a failure as parents, but I think my generation doesn't want to admit it. I think Gen Z kids are great. I think they have been dealt a bad hand to start out in life. They watched their parents work for nothing- why would they feel motivated to do the same?

i have some thoughts about one small point that your guest, Jazmine, made about gen z lacking professionalism. Jazmine doesn't define professionalism and instead uses one example of gen z interviewees using slang terms as a no-no. Slang terms can potentially be inappropriate for the workplace, but not all of them. Deeming an interviewee as 'unprofessional' for using a slang term on the merits of it being a slang term alone is irrational. Personally (and based on the sentiments in my circles), many of us gen z adults feel strongly about pushing back against arbitrary workplace traditions. We feel resentment about the term professionalism, as it has such an ambigous definition, but very often has little-to-nothing to do with the quality of our work. This resentment is further compounded by middle management, who can (and frequently do) use professionalism as a front to discriminate. please don't get me wrong, I agree with most of what she's saying and she gives good advice about navigating this. I appreciate that she addresses some of the flaws that the upper-management hierarchy creates - it's just interesting to blame gen z for being unprofessional, instead of addressing what professionalism even means when the expectation is set by a corporation who demonstrates plainly that they value profits over your life

Agreed. I see the value in professionalism when it comes to creating boundaries between your work and the other parts of your life, but otherwise I feel like it's just an excuse to be overly controlling.

I got my first big girl job and there's a real mismatch between what I got taught growing up in terms of what professional looks like.

Most of this information makes it sound like we’re living in a corporate dystopia. By forcing people back into the office, employees with families are forced to quit. This is great for the corporations because then they don’t have to keep on workers who use more sick time and more benefits. Corporations are always trying to get out of paying benefits with our reductions and “permalancers”. He either need to cut military industrial spending and have universal healthcare, or force companies to pay a percentage of benefits based on our worked. For example, if a company hire someone to work 20 hours a week, they have to pay 50% of that employee’s benefits. 40 hours a week would obviously be 100% of employee benefits.

I now have no savings and am constantly stressed out about money. I'll never own a home, never afford to have kids.

I started calling the places directly, but I usually get told "we don't deliver directly; you have to use an app". So I just stopped ordering out altogether.

Sometimes, their expectations are out of step with yours, and sometimes, they are really out to get you, but almost every good intentioned person will fill you in.

It’s not just time, the interview process takes immense mental energy. Having to learn a companies products from the bottom up and tailoring your skillset to the company. And doing this on repeat every time you land an interview. It burns you the hell out. These companies have no respect for someone time. Not to mention it still working at my current job. And need to perform there as well.

Fat salary, full benefits, 401K, bonuses, etc. It's very hard right now trying to find something remote based that pays a good wage, or even in-office based, so I'm glad I saved most of my money and have the ability to coast for many years to come.

@TheElectricCamel there are some jobs that are real, but if they say they are mailing you a check and you have to buy your work equipment before you start, especially through a specific company portal... that one is a scam. It's a fake check that will bounce the next business day after you habe spent all that money through their "portal" for fake work supplies that will never come. You just wired them your real money through a website.

I remember the last time I was unemployed, and I told senior manager I met at a professional gathering how much trouble I was having finding a new job. He seemed incredulous. Like, how could anyone be having so much trouble finding a job in such a hot market? Not that he offered me a job himself... Now, I have a job, and my employer is understaffed. Policy is very strict about how much they can offer new hires compared to prevailing pay trends, so they can't really offer more without a massive overhaul in how they do business. So, among other things, it's clear that corporate systems are very inefficient at finding talent. Some of it might be malicious, an excuse to overwork employees, but a lot of it really is just a systemic sort of incompetence.

worked at banfield for a time as an assistant. Difficult, highly physical work in less than optimal conditions. They were weirdly open about the fact that, for every appointment of a certain type we saw, that doctor got a sizable bonus from the company. Some doctors were making hundreds of dollars a day on top of their usual salary. Knowing that, knowing that my hard work made the clinic however many thousands that day, and knowing I was only seeing pennies of it... all while on the brink of a breakdown from the stress of the job? While we had meetings basically laying out that conditions were gonna get a LOT worse? I was out. Done with the whole field. These places ask too much of their staff and the ones who suffer the most are our patients. I'd rather live like a pauper than go back.

@@surlespasdondineI think Americans over state what it's like. IMO, America is still one of the best places in the world (if not THE best) to grow up poor and become rich, BUT you have to LIKE hard work. Hard working people get rich AF in America because at some point, all that work pays off. I used to live in Europe and saw firsthand what it's like. I thought EU was this perfect wonderful place because I believed the overstated anti-American BS while in college. I'm American. I earn four times as much as what I earned working the same or similar job at a 'prestigious' company in EU. I own my car and my house at age 30 in USA. Gas and utilities are dirt cheap in US compared to what I paid in the EU. My taxes aren't high and are easy to file in the US. Taxes were ridiculous in EU and the health care was poor. I had permanent residency and universal health care in EU, and it was awful. It cost me 100 euros each time to get basic dental cleanings - not high quality service with all the xrays and imaging and cancer screening we get here in US. My dental visits are covered by insurance in USA, and my teeth are perfect because I have incredible health care here (yes that's me in my profile pic and yes all my natural teeth and hair). I would not trade living in EU and renting, owning nothing to living in USA and owning my car and house in America. I also think the gender gap is worse in EU than USA. I'd bet money that there are more single women homeowners and business owners in USA than there are in any EU nation, controlling statistically for population size. That is very telling on who can afford property and how equitable society really is.

One of my friends got a job at Bath and Body works, had a few days, then got scheduled for one day for a whole month…and she is looking for a new job that has less standing due to her spinal condition. Another friend worked one day at a local cafe, was told they are having a hard time scheduling and had a lack of communication from them, then was let go entirely after about 2 months. Jobs don’t want people. They are over hiring or internally hiring. They are making ghost jobs and wasting time. There were never enough jobs because they had to have a homeless population to threaten us with. And now that more people are working multiple jobs to get by, and how many jobs are being replaced by tech, they can’t hire people. They won’t hire people. They don’t have jobs, much less fulfilling and useful jobs. We lost so many of those already when they put stuff abroad to abuse the lack of workers rights. So most of the jobs we have today don’t even help our society function. Tech wouldn’t be a problem if we had basic needs guarantees outside of work. It wouldn’t be a threat to our existence, it would be a tool to our liberation into more free time and less work. UGH! Fuck capitalism.

This is also why corporate goals/performance reviews tend to be so ridiculously out of touch with reality. At least in my experience, most employees' contributions don't translate well into quantifiable goals and milestones, and reporting on "business as usual"/"keeping the ship afloat" isn't good enough. Even managers tend to not know what their direct reports are actually accomplishing in their roles. So people in need of "tangible results" on their resumes end up making stuff up like "improved efficiency by 60%," and because no one at the company knows if they did that or not, it's impossible to fact-check.

Delivery services REALLY exploit people on fixed incomes, esp people living in nursing homes. We get $30/month for personal spending (the nursing home takes the rest of our Social Security/SSI checks to offset Medicare/Medicaid payments). That basically means that if we want any snacks outside what the home provides, or drinks, or want good quality hygene products like decent toothbrushes, pens and paper, a new shirt/pair of pants, etc we have to PAY a delivery fee to get that delivered. That fee comes OUT OF the $30. Just to get ONE Walmart delivery order eats up 1/3 of our allotment.
