  1. The only thing I can figure out is that their parents didn't do those things either. As children, we learn by observation. That's how we learn to function in the world around us. My kids have no problem doing those things, but I was a SAHM, so they had home cooked meals all the time, and my husband (though not his profession at the time) was a carpenter by trade so fixed the house. He also would fix the car if it broke down. So our kids saw that and wanted to do it too.

  2. They're not afraid of accountability. They're afraid of lawsuits.

  3. When my son is tested to qualify for the next higher position at the oil refinery, it's not open test. He has to be able to point to each pipeline running through the area, identify what's going through it, and say where it goes to. When there's a fire and a valve needs turning off, you don't have to time to look it up. It's about being to respond quickly and efficiently is why you're taught to memorize stuff and remember it. Is a company going to promote someone that has to constantly stop work to look up someone or the person that can immediate recognize what needs to be done and do it in less than half the time?

  4. Don't be ashamed of that! I took care of my parents. It's a noble and thankless thing to do. Just try to remember to take a break. Hire a caregiver every once in awhile or another family member. It's important because you can get resentful after awhile if you don't. It's not a reflection on you if you do either because it really saps your emotionally.

  5. This! Teachers and counselors fill their head with finding their dream job where they feel they make a difference instead of viewing a job as just a means to an end. That end being taking care of yourself and hopefully having a little extra to do something every once in awhile for fun.

  6. That you understood that at 9 is unusual. I've seen teachers try to explain it to problem kids in middle school and they don't understand. They'd say "I'll just work at McDonald's." The teacher would show how much that pays a month and list out all necessary expenses. Rent, utilities, food, etc and show them it wasn't enough. They didn't understand it.

  7. I never had to do any of that. Speech was required, though.

  8. I mean we were sat in front of TV all day. I didn't let my kids have a phone until they were 15 and they weren't smart ones. Certainly no internet service attached to it. I took them away at night too. No computer in the bedroom. If their friends were over and everyone had their faces buried in their phones, we made them put them in a basket so they had to interact with each other face to face. That's probably why if my sons make it to an in person interview, they almost always get hired.

  9. I wasn't taught that. Needing to be is more a reflection of someone's lack of maturity. Like a normal young person, I was embarrassed to be around my parents.

  10. You have to let them fail. It's hard. Believe me, I know. But they'll be better for it in the long run. Don't help them if they have an issue. Make them deal with it themselves. They'll figure it out. They have to learn their problems aren't your problems anymore.

  11. Your first job at any company unless you have years of experience in the exact same job, is entry level. Even then you usually still start out at the bottom. Both my Gen Z sons have been promoted quickly and it's not because they know someone. I don't think you realize or care how insulting that was to say.

  12. That parent was trying to force the kid to get a job.

  13. If you never want a job it's a good idea. Why would I hire someone that can't even talk to me without mommy and daddy? I guess you think everyone older than you stays at the same job for the last 30 years and haven't changed recently to have gone through interviews and applications. I'll let my 26 year old son that got married and bought his first home last year that he should have stayed at Walmart instead of applying and working his way into a better job.

  14. I went my kids for registration and move in day to help move them in. That was it. Registration was because they needed our signature on some stuff.

  15. ​​​ @personmensch6664  It's always been that way. Do you think the generations befor you haven't applied for and interviewed for a job for the last 30 years? My husband had to get a certificate to even apply for certain jobs and my dad worked 90-day temp work at plants for years before finally getting hired full-time.

  16. How is that the older generation having "shut and locked every door?" Were you in the interview with her? Do you know she did a great job interviewing? You know nothing other than what she said. People lie to make themselves look better. Edit: It's funny that your first inclination is to blame everyone else for what someone you don't even know said because you automatically believe everything they say.

  17. That didn't cause massive inflation when we did it during lockdowns.

  18. You heard about it then, but it certainly wasn't common. Now it's becoming the norm. Maybe not the parent coming to interviews but being heavily involved when they're in college certainly is. Add in that the university still treats them like children and they're doomed. Normally that's where you'd learn to live on your own but still in a protected space.

  19. You're special Ed. No offense, but a normal job for someone else would be more difficult. How is it their problem you can't not eat their merchandise? You know you're diabetic and can't eat it.

  20. Wasn't that just a bit like everything about wrestling?

  21. It was the psychology part. That became the standard in schools. To improve self esteem. Unfortunately they don't understand the reward has to be earned and for being better or it's pointless.

  22. We're the most unsupervised generation to ever exist. We had a runaway crisis because of abuse. We didn't just go outside. Many of us raises our younger siblings and parents at the same time.

  23. ​ @Hyphen_1781  WTF are you talking about? The Beattles were loved. John Lennon was mourned. The 80s were the 2nd British invasion. Meaning extremely popular. We didn't get "triggered." We did the triggering by trolling protesters of concerts and movies. You're mixing up generations. You're mixing several into one. The Beattles were disliked by the Greatest Generation. The Silent Generation and Boomers hated heavy metal and started the Satanic Panic. We didn't even really protest.

  24. ​ @Hyphen_1781  What? You're mixing 4 generations together or more. We didn't even protest much less get "triggered." We were the original trolls. We trolled protesters protesting concerts and movies. Nobody put acid in swimming pools. The 80s was the second British invasion. Meaning very popular. The opposite of being "triggered" by them.

  25. ​​ @ChaoticYak1  That's not your employer's or your fellow employee's problem. All of whom your choice to just not work that day effects. I don't think you understand what a "mental health" day is. This started in the tech sector. Thanks to TikToks of A Day in Life Of videos, young people are expecting it in every workplace now. It's you being allowed time off because you can't mentally handle work. In some tech places, they'd be off for months and because they're salaried workers, still be getting paid.

  26. You do know kids spend 8 hours a day in school starting at age 4, right? They're not with their parents.

  27. You completed something and got the promised reward for doing so. Participation trophies means you just showed up that day.

  28. Yes. They care about if you hop jobs.

  29. This seems to be a bigger issue with younger Gen Z than older ones. I know mine are the same age as you and none of their friends are like that except one and they rag him constantly. Pretty much everyone they grew up with has stable lives and are living on their own. My eldest's wife just turned 23 and this seems to be more along her friend's attitude. Her younger brother is even worse.

  30. ​ @DangItAnnalisa  It's different for girls. Sorry, but it is. My brothers were expected to move out. They never cared if I did until I got married. We're who ends up caring for them in their old age anyway. I worked full-time, but I was never expected to move out on my own. For safety if nothing else. My sons also did chores for money or earned it through grades. I considered good performance at school just as much of a job. It all comes down to rewards for applying yourself and putting in effort vs getting something for nothing.

  31. Do you think anyone taught us everything? It's called trial and error. Nobody sat me down and taught me how to dress for a job. You observe the world around you and figure it out and listen when someone tells you something isn't appropriate instead of arguing that it should be. Edit: When the internet was new, who taught us how to use it? Nobody! We figured it out and optimized it. It's actually hilarious because Gen X was feral. Our parents left us unsupervised all the time. We figured it out, so can you. You just want it handed to you instead.

  32. And? So does my youngest. It's what he enjoys doing and makes pretty good money at it for a single guy.

  33. Grummz is over 18. He's married with kids. He worked on World of Worldcraft. Maybe his kid turned 18.

  34. The point is that was extremely uncommon. There have always been overprotective parents. It's the kids requesting their parents come with them and needing them for emotional support. That's what's different.

  35. I raised my kids and they aren't like described. I didn't rause anyone else's. The problem is the majority are like that. I'm pretty sure they made sure to note there are exceptions like you. If it doesn't apply to you, why are you taking it personal? This recession is mild compared to many before it. I'm Gen X. This is the 4th in my lifetime. Do ya'll think we're not all affected by this? Somehow it's singled out your generation alone? Gen X lost their jobs, their houses, and most of their retirement in 2008 and had to start over. After having to build an almost entirely new economy in the 90s. We're not very sympathetic to the tiny blip that's current happening.

  36. ​ @zeroblack406  That's a lot of information about someone's personal life you don't know.

  37. That's illegal. If you're saying that then you must have proof you're being routinely discriminated against. If you don't, then it's speculation and you need to find out what areas you need to improve to better your chances. Maybe you don't interview well and you need to practice with friends or family. Maybe your resume needs improvement in presentation.

  38. They're not talking about your generation. It's the one after you. Mainly the younger ones in it.

  39. That's similar. They call it quiet quitting. They just show up to work basically.

  40. They made it clear there are exceptions. If it doesn't apply to you, then it shouldn't feel so personal.m

  41. Yes, that's new. Oh wait, it's not. You make a bad deal, you learn to do better next time. That's called learning.

  42. You're right. It's so much worse than child labor and people regularly losing limbs in factories while living in company towns. Seriously? I mean the late 70s and early 80s with twice higher inflation and 20% interest rates were such a breeze. 2008 and the extremely long recovery were so much better. I'm sure the Great Depression was just a breeze for most people compared to today. Edit: When you're the one risking millions of dollars on a business, you can complain about how much you make. You agreed to the pay for the job. Nobody forced you.

  43. It absolutely does. My Gen Z sons tell me all about their fellow Gen Z employees and potential ones as does my husband. My sons are embarrassed to be a part of the same generation.

  44. Nobody is "stuck" in their early 20s unless they got someone knocked up. That's a mindset nobody can fix except you. It's not the responsibility of your employer to make you feel better about your life.

  45. You mean her job?

  46. That's why you have sick days and vacation. That's what your days off are for. Recuperating from work. Maybe if you're working 7 days a week for awhile, but other than that, no. If you're disabled that's required information before you start work so they can accommodate you. If you're not officially disabled, accommodation isn't required.

  47. Same with mine at 26 and 25. They've gotten promoted quickly because they're willing to work and don't cause problems. Within a year they're usually being looked at for managerial positions.
