Employers reveal why Gen Z is the hardest
generation to work with

New York Post, by Rikki Schlott

Original Article

Posted By: AltaD, 4/26/2023 10:19:04 AM

Despite many of them having only just entered the workforce, Generation Z — those born in 1997 onwards — is already getting a bad rap at the office. According to a recent survey of 1,300 managers, three out of four agree that Gen Z is harder to work with than other generations — so much so that 65% of employers said they have to fire them more often. One in eight have let go of a Gen Zer less than one week after their start date, the study found. The results ring true with managers across the US and in various industries, who report that young hires have been difficult to deal with,

Millennials were no picnic, at least some of those I had the "pleasure" of supervising.

FTA:Because Gen Zers are bringing their politics into the workplace, more and more employers report that they’re walking on eggshells — and even fearful of their own subordinates. This is crazy. Tell them to check their politics at the door.

The solution is to not tolerate their nonsense. You either comport yourself in the office or you walk.

Oh, I believe it. I’m real glad I retired before these little snowflakes found their way into the workforce. This is what happens when you raise a whole generation that receives participation trophies, never gets disciplined, and never faces any adversity. They may as well still be in diapers.

I checked out the video recommended by #4. There are several others teased in the sidebar which were equally well done. The sad fact, though, is that these babies will likely never mature and contribute as productive adults. What in the world can we do???

This rings true for me. Before I retired I had to train one. Luckily this was before politics, pronouns, and language etc. was an issue. But the boy had the attention span of a gnat, refused to take notes about any training I gave him telling me he would remember what to do when it came time to do it (He didn't). I had to explain things multiple times to no avail. Everything he did do had to be corrected by others on our team. He was one of the laziest people I've ever met and he NEVER looked anyone in the eye. He lacked any kind of work ethic at all. He lasted 6 months and he resigned. That was one of the happiest days of my life. I wouldn't be surprised if some companies will start offering bonuses or other incentives to employees close to retirement in hopes of getting them to stay on longer. But what happens when Gen Z is all that's left??

All you have to do with the Gen Z population is walk through a Walmart store and take a look at the Gen Zers examples there to see what employers see wrong with that population group. I would say that only about 5% of that population would be mentally and physically qualified to enlist in the armed forces. That’s why the Biden crew is lowering the requirements for armed forces enlistment.

You're the employer. You set the rules, not them. Employees either follow them or get out. You are not there to accommodate their wants or needs. That needs to be explained to every employee the day they're hired.

Dr. Spock's (not of Star Trek fame) great grandchildren. This has been coming down for decades. It's Satanic roots in tertiary education and training of teachers as well as parents bear the blame. America, Europe, and all the world are desperately in need of a revival of Christian thought and behavior.

Agree with the article and what all the posters said but one of the problems for employers is trying to maintain a workforce. I work part-time in the food industry with a bunch of Gen Z. They are all addicted to their phones. Most do as little as possible and regularly ignore our boss because "she's always mad". My boss goes out of her way to accommodate them with scheduling and preferences. She gets mad when they're not doing their jobs! Sadly, because of the poor work ethic of many in this country who would rather collect money from the government, finding qualified employees is very difficult. As a result, their nonsense is tolerated out of necessity. In my day, every one of these kids would be fired.

A numbers of employers or managers in the article did not want their last names published. People are afraid of these spoiled, opinionated brats. They’ve seen the havoc they create against people who don’t share their beliefs. They’re spoiled bullies . They’re also lazy and don’t like hard work. I’ve heard this from fellow nurses I worked with before retiring. They find out how much work it is to be a nurse, and they quit. Most last about 6 weeks. It’s not Covid that caused this. It’s the schools.

Re #18. There are phone jammers. A phone jammer in the workplace would be good. Or...I worked in a secure environment. NO PHONES,EVER and no exceptions. Do it once, get a serious warning, second time....you are fired. Don't coddle them - just tell them, no phones. We had a locker system, about 8x8" each on a wall where you could put your phone as you came in. Most of us just left them in the car. NO phones would be a major part of MY workplace....but thank goodness I don't have one, want one or intend to create one.

Most never held a job while growing up due to min-wage laws, they were priced out of the job market while in high school and therefore never learned the simple requirements that a job demands. This is why I have always been against min-wage laws.

#11, the first professional job I interviewed for was conducted by the manger of employment and behind him on the wall right above his head was a plaque with a little bird tweeting 'Whose bread I eat his song I sing'. He left no doubt that you were expected to toe the company line or leave.

My son was born two years earlier than the Z generation and gets rave reviews from his employer. In fact, of the 70 employees at the facility, my son was the only one who received a 10% pay raise at his evaluation. When we visited his facility during an open house, his boss couldn't stop praising his work ethic. He's been with the company for a year and a half and has already been interviewed for manager positions within the company in other parts of the country.

Lazy, rude, stupid parents tend to raise lazy, rude and stupid children. Yes, the culture and schools make it very hard, but all of that can be countered, IF you do your job as a parent and model and teach personal responsibility and rewards follow effort. Every home has jobs kids could do.

IF you hire a Gen Z. It his difficult to get one even apply for a job these days. So much stress and pressure they claim. Instead many (not college educated) have become very comfortable living on food stamps, Medicaid, parent's homes or with friends. They don't drive because they're afraid to. And they have become self righteous social warriors. They are unemployable.

The Gen Zers live in their own paradigm entirely through their iphones and ipads. Go to any public place where there are young people. All of them are glued to their devices in need of constant approval by their "friends". There is no spoken social interaction. Turn off the wi fi and they leave. See the film "The Social Dilemma" and you will fully understand what has happened to our young people, why their work ethic and ability to focus is off track, and how they have been programmed. Big thanks to the Bill Gatester, Zuckie Boy, and a host of other SM bigshots.

There seems to me to be a simple solution. When a new hire comes in, they go through a orientation program. HR forces employees to go to various diversity, inclusion and equity classes to indoctrinate them in leftist ideology now which I believe should be abandoned. All that garbage could be boiled down to one statement. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is the stuff you learn in Sunday School. Completing this OP should be a requirement for employment. If they don’t like it, then they can move on to another company. It should be like a boot camp. Teach new hires everything the company is going to expect from them down to the most minor workplace etiquette. Unfortunately, these kids had parents who did not understand they were creating children who would not able to function in society because they had been catered to during their childhood. These kids think they know everything. Take away their devices and they cannot function. Companies also should put pressure on the universities to cover the basic manners that they expect. If you do not expect your people to adhere to company standards, they won’t. They will want to set the rules and you can’t have that. Companies spoil their employees. I all about giving perks for a job well done but to baby these lazy entitled toddlers in grown up bodies is a recipe for disaster. This is a microcosm of the parent/child relationship. You cannot allow the child to get the upper hand or you will have an entitled monster on your hands who produce little.

Watch the movie "Idiocracy" (2006) which is vivid portrayal. Although it's futuristic fiction and at times exaggerated, it's amazingly prescient--(and hilarious) especially the scenes at the hospital.

This problem is widespread and posters have hit upon most of the causes. I made the mistake once of hiring a newlywed black guy as an office worker. He did nothing of value, spent all day long on the phone with his wife and gave me the opportunity to find out just how complicated it was to fire somebody black.

Fortunately for me I work in a building that's' one basically one big SCIF. No electronic signals in or out. So, your smart phone can't be smart. That and the fact no politics, religion or any hot bed topic is discussed. You don't pull your weight and do your job you are terminated. The many Gen Zer's who work there know the score. We had one in my department that was nice enough and a hard worker at first. She found out that since she was good looking (Puerto Rican/Black) she could be flirtatious with my boss to get ahead. He (married with 3 kids) finally gave in to her charms but wound up getting himself fired and her transferred. Me being the senior person in the department I had to be the first in a series of closed-door meetings with HR on what went on. It was a mess. I've heard horror stories from relatives and friends in upper management about working with "Zoomers." Especially in retail and food service. Like I said before fortunately where I work Zoomers get zoomed out the door if they act up.

I was in Organizational Development and trained Millennials before I retired. Gen Z was just coming on board when I stepped away from my career If I’d had a nickel for every request I received around Communication Skills training, I’d have been able to retire much sooner. In addition to all those nickels, I wish their supervisors had spent less time adjusting to Millennial preferences than setting and reinforcing reasonable expectations for effective behavior in the workplace. Before I get corrected, I’m certainly not saying that every Millennial was this way, it but a fair percentage were as described in this article. Sorry to see things aren’t improving.

Another piece of the GenZ puzzle - keep in mind that the divorce rate in America is higher than it has ever been. The GenZers were largely raised in one-parent homes where the one parent works two jobs and the kid stays home after school playing video games. As the kid approaches his/her/its teens the video games and switches are replaced with iphones with no parental controls. The kid now as a young adult is now essentially raised by his SM "friends". At the end of the day, the young adult was never taught limits, common sense, personal responsibility, personal interaction with others, relationship building, and integrity. They became social zombies in some respects.

Gen X are pure evil: collectively, they are spoiled, lazy, entitled and their entire prosperity is at the expense of others, food and energy from "fly over country" and their expensive toys made with "slave labor" in China, Vietnam, and other asia countries. Russia, China and the global south are rising. It will be interesting to watch Gen X respond to real poverty when the almighty dollar is worth nothing; they can join the class of homeless in the American cities.

Z-ers act this way bc they've been getting away with it all their lives. This is bc they come from fams with one or zero siblings and have been asked to do absolutely Nothing to pitch in at home. They have no idea the weight they are to support. Do your small kids a favor. Make them do their own stinkin' laundry and clean the bathroom. Always, always. always make them carry the groceries in. You should not be doing those things if children are present. Do your older kids a favor and make them pay room and board. It will help them see "reality."

I'm a Trump supporting Boomer, and I come at it a bit differently. Perhaps many Gen Z'ers simply will not stand for the crap my generation had to just shut up and take. There are a million reasons why the song Take This Job And Shove It was a Boomer anthem. Even if you are paying them to, Gen Z'ers simply refuse to waste their time looking at useless TPS Reports, let alone generate them. Give 'em hell, kids!

I hired a young engineer in his early 30’s, married, two preschool kids, and a dog. They were living 3 hours from where he worked. His only job had been with the state department of environmental quality and I was hiring an air permitting guy, his wheelhouse. I should have seen the lack of common sense because he was still using a resume formatted in high school (he wrote he was an Eagle Scout). Anyway, he’s hired. Work starts at 7 am. Second day on the job , he starts showing up at 7:30. I ask him about it and “it’s the kids”. So I say come in at 7:30 now. He then starts coming in at 7:45. Low energy, always staring at his phone, barely getting work done on time. For punishment, I made him help a coworker with his online algebra homework. I didn’t fire him because I knew I was going to leave the company. Per other managers, his work ethic was as bad as others in the branch.

Take a look around most businesses and what do you see? Workers 40+ years of age. Why? We'll show up and work. I'm 67 and still working full time. I went to a local car parts store and was asked if I wanted a job. I asked Why me? I was told I had people skills and probably had a work ethic ( Thanks mom & dad!).

I would not be surprised if covid is part of the problem. When the lockdowns were in place, those young workers were just beginning their working lives and covid interrupted that big time. Also a problem would be the liberal parents and education system that brainwashed those kids as well. Work ethic can be taught, but the mentors have to have reason to do so. They haven't because it would have interfered with their narrative.

Boomers (and I am one) raised the parents of these millennials. Our children have spoiled their kids beyond belief. I have one child, who with his wife, has done a great job in setting standards with their kids. The other has embraced the liberal ideology and her children are a total disaster area of self entitlement and privilege.

GOP-controlled legislatures in South Carolina and Nebraska failed on Thursday to pass anti-abortion legislation. The "Heartbeat Act" in Nebraska would have banned most abortions after six weeks with exceptions including rape, incest and the life of the mother. The measured stalled in the state legislature and a vote to overcome a filibuster of the bill failed by a vote of 32-15. Two senators abstained from voting. GOP state Sen. Merv Riepe called for the bill to be reconsidered and proposed an amendment to move the ban to 12 weeks instead of six weeks. The amendment did not receive a vote.

He challenged conventional thinking for Republicans as much as he challenged the country’s far left. Other than those who loathe ideas such as national sovereignty, life, liberty, and truth, not a single person is better off today — now that his voice has been effectively silenced.

Fox News said Monday that it has “agreed to part ways” with anchor Tucker Carlson. Carlson, who hosts “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on weekdays at 8 pm, broadcast his final show on April 21, Fox News said. The company noted that “Fox News Tonight” will replace Carlson’s show and air live on an interim basis. The new show will be helmed by a rotating group of Fox News personalities until a new host is named. The announcement comes days after Fox News’ parent company settled Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million.

Chicago must reinstate city employees who were fired for refusing to comply with Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate and rescind the requirement, a state administrative law judge has ruled. The decision came Wednesday in a case before the Illinois Labor Relations Board involving more than 20 unions representing city employees, which filed an unfair labor practices charge with the state panel after Lightfoot imposed the policy in the fall of 2021. (Snip) The judge ordered the city to reinstate the affected employees, with their personnel records expunged, and to compensate workers for any lost pay or benefits that resulted, with 7% interest.

Labour’s Rosie Duffield and Conservative Miriam Cates today issue a rallying cry for the country to come together to protect women’s rights. The MPs have joined forces across the political divide to warn that extremist trans activists must not be allowed to wipe away a century of hard-won protections. They have become formidable standard bearers in the battle to defend single-sex spaces and the right for a woman to be called a woman despite facing intense hostility from campaigners and even some male MPs.The pair told the Daily Express: “Women’s rights must be protected at all costs and we have united across the political divide

A little-noticed revamp of federal rules on mortgage fees will offer discounted rates for home buyers with riskier credit backgrounds — and force higher-credit homebuyers to foot the bill, The Post has learned. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will enact changes to fees known as loan-level price adjustments (LLPAs) on May 1 that will affect mortgages originating at private banks nationwide (SNIP) “This was a blatant and significant cut of fees for their highest-risk borrowers and a clear increase in much better credit quality buyers – which just clarified to the world that this move was a pretty significant cross-subsidy pricing change,”

“Chicago Tonight” host Brandis Friedman sat down with Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson for a wide-ranging interview on everything from why he chose to raise his family in Austin to how he’ll choose the next police superintendent. (Snip) Johnson: There’s no secret that the West Side of Chicago has yet to recover in totality from one of the more dramatic moments in our city’s history. And when Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. came to the West Side of Chicago and he expressed all that, which was certainly tumultuous, but he also expressed, what was possible, there’s great history here, right? So Chairman Fred Hampton, one of the great educators and organizers.

Protesters are demanding that transgender women be removed from New Jersey’s only all-female prison — where 24 transgender women, including one who says she has a “taste for blood,” are held out of a total of 356 prisoners. #GetMenOut activists held a protest at the state Capitol in Trenton on Friday, reading letters from four biologically female inmates at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, where one transgender inmate impregnated two women last year. (Snip) Harmeet K. Dhillon, CEO of the conservative Center for American Liberty, has estimated there are 900 biological males housed in women’s prisons around the country.

A flower shop near Nashville refused to provide decorations for a GOP event featuring former President Donald Trump, and urged other businesses to deny future services to the Republican Party in a call for stricter gun laws. Owners of the FLWR Shop in Belle Meade, Tennessee, said they "immediately declined" service for the upcoming Republican National Committee (RNC) fundraiser and encouraged "others in the Nashville event industry to say no to taking money or jobs from the Republican Party until they begin to make the changes to gun laws that most Americans are calling for." (Snip) the speakers featured at the RNC event go "beyond our comfort level."

Joe Biden's ex-chief of staff has blamed Kamala Harris's poor approval ratings on 'racism and sexism'. Ron Klain, who stepped down as the president's top aide in January, said her critics were guilty of prejudice towards the 58-year-old former senator from California. The long-time Democratic political consultant said in an interview on Thursday that Harris 'takes a lot of grief unjustifiably.' 'I do think sexism and racism are part of the problem, no question about it,' Klain said.

This should be embarrassing, even for a seriously self-centered politician so filled with hubris and visions of grandeur that he cannot see anything except his own magnanimity. Alas, for the Narcissus Top Gov and the branding organization behind him, no scale of hubris exclaimed is excessive enough. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was in Israel Thursday, doing the obligatory indulgency tour all Republican presidential candidates must undertake before they officially announce. During his pre-planned events, DeSantis took credit for moving the U.S-Israel embassy to Jerusalem.

Egypt has accused Netflix of misrepresenting history by casting a Black woman to play Cleopatra, its most famous historical figure, in a new series. “Queen Cleopatra,” which is released May 10, features Adele James in the lead role, a casting decision that the streaming giant says is “a nod to the centuries-long conversation about the ruler’s race” but which officials in Cairo have dismissed as “blatant historical fallacy.” The government statement issued Thursday marked an escalation in a feud that has sparked demands for the show's cancellation, amid a broader debate over representation in popular culture.

Fox News is trying to sideline former Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson through the 2024 election, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News. Carlson’s current contract runs through December 2024, and as of now three sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that executives at the network are trying to keep Carlson on contract and not release him until after the 2024 election. The shocking decision to cancel Carlson’s top-rated weeknight program came just days after the network shut down its top-rated weekend program with host Dan Bongino.

The New York Post reports on the confrontation that must have shocked Randi Weingarten, the head of the AFT who this past week falsely claimed to a congressional committee that she had fought every day to reopen schools, when, in fact, she and her union were the major force keeping them closed. A paid CNN commentator, Scott Jennngs, delivered the truth bomb.
From transgendered to 'transabled': Now
people are 'choosing' to identify as handicapped 27 replies

A troubling societal issue called "transableism" is attracting attention these days. Transableism is a newer term for BIID, or "Body Integrity Identity Disorder," in which a person actually "identifies" as handicapped. BIID has been relabeled to transableism to align with today's trans community, according to some. The point of "changing the identifier" from a psychiatric condition (BIID) to an advocacy term (transableism) is to "harness the stunning cultural power of gender ideology" to the cause of allowing doctors to "treat" BIID patients by "amputating healthy limbs, snipping spinal cords or destroying eyesight," according to Evolution News and Science Today

The president's schedule has returned to the spotlight amid a new report claiming aides struggle to get the 80-year-old to do evening or morning events. Biden literally carries his schedule around with him on a long white notecard, checking off items with a black pen as he moves through the day.

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) and state lawmakers reached an agreement to phase out natural gas hookups in new buildings beginning in 2025, a first-of-its-kind state law designed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and transition to cleaner sources of energy. Hochul said Thursday she reached a handshake deal with lawmakers on the agreement, which was included in New York’s fiscal 2024 budget. Though the budget stops short of an explicit ban on natural gas appliances, it will ban natural gas hookups in most new residential and commercial buildings under seven stories beginning in 2026. By 2029, that will extend to larger industrial and commercial properties as well.

Dylan Mulvaney has already cost Bud Light what is assumed to be millions of dollars (17 percent drop in sales), but he’s not done causing chaos yet. The transgender “influencer” entered into the broader public eye after Joe Biden invited him to the White House back in 2022. Think about that. A president who hasn’t done a challenging interview since he took office found time to receive softballs from a grown man who pretends to be a prepubescent girl. But I digress. Mulvaney has been propped up by corporate America despite only claiming to be a “girl” for a little over a year.

While I’m not fond of “unpack” in this usage, there’s a lot to unpack in answering the headline question. Yes, Kamala Harris is arguably the most unqualified person in history to serve as vice president. Even worse, given the reality of 80-year-old Joe Biden’s mental decline, her ill-advised selection in 2020 puts the Democrat Party in a precarious position with respect to the 2024 presidential election. As conservative columnist Kristin Tate told Fox News Digital, “Kamala Harris is one of the most unlikable and uninspiring public figures in modern political history.” The approval rating of the Cackling Queen of Word Salads™ hasn’t surpassed 40 percent since her first year in office,

Anheuser-Busch, the company that makes Bud Light, Budweiser, Busch Light, and a variety of other beers, is being pressured to reaffirm further support of the transgender community after the company faced right-wing backlash for hiring Mulvaney as a brand ambassador last month.
