  1. The tech that 99.9% of people interact with now is designed for kid level mentalities. They have zero idea how things work behind that Fisher Price UI. If anything they’re less tech savvy than Gen X who had to actually work to get things to do what they wanted, which meant learning how things worked to a fair degree, and learning how to learn things rather than just looking up quick answers or asking a chat bot. Future generations will be even less aware of how automation and tech work but be more reliant on them than anyone else in history.

  4.  @timisa58 That’s what happens when you have rampant economic immigration adding tons of labor. Companies can get super picky, pay nothing, and fire you for anything because there’s 10 other people who will take your place tomorrow.

  5.  @monkeyshinserman Well, these companies liked for 25 years about a tech labor shortage in the US when really they just didn’t want to pay good salaries. They imported millions of tech workers and drove down wages, drove up competition, all while telling younger people they should learn to code to add more labor to the pool so they could turn you into even more of a commodity. Then the far left grifters coke in and tell you the solution is to unionize, which just ensures entry level people have even less of a shot, and pushes companies to offshore jobs. This is what happens when you let the rich run mass human trafficking schemes to supply cheap labor while convincing you it’s really about compassion and making lives better.

  7. ⁠​⁠ @istvantoth7431 Yeah, you see various issues with Boomers, Xers, Millennials, and Zoomers. There’s some overlap but compare Boomers and Xers to Zoomers and younger millennials and you see some distinct behavior like flat out refusing to do a task because they don’t like it, not showing up for meetings because they wanted to take a shower in the middle of the day… when they know they had a meeting scheduled. And before 2022, when they thought they could just change jobs in days, they honestly didn’t care if they got fired. Older generations who did things they weren’t supposed to at least tried to hide it, they knew they were cutting corners and it wasn’t something to brag about, zoomers are more likely to feel entitled to do whatever and think you’re in the wrong I’d you don’t go along with it. And of course, doing whatever always boils down to not doing real work but expecting to be paid, well. I know some Zoomers who are great workers and don’t act like this at all, but when you do see misbehavior in the 4 gens who make up most of the workforce, you do see a worsening trend and more belligerence. And a lot of managers now are Millennials and realized late in the game you can’t operate this way, but all you hear is how it’s Boomers who don’t get it. Like, you think Zuckerberg lets people just do whatever and still get paid $250k a year?
