It's even worse in China where their youth employment is in such crisis that they stopped reporting the stats

they're all pussies. Next time don't get a liberal arts degree.

bunch of whiny phaggots.

STEMbrah here, and it's insane how much politics goes into just becoming a frontline manager. I have seen teams destroy other teams, fire their old manager, and take their headcount, just to hook their buddy up with a new manger gig.

Now repeat that cage fight for director, senior director, VP, etc.

It's not even tied to hard work or added value. I just watched the most valuable design lead in my old division get laid off last month. He was working on a project that was going to save the company millions. Another team wanted credit for that project, so guess who got targeted.

Anyway, when businesses are growing like they were from 1950-2000, it's easy to invent new positions, new departments, and offer promotions. When business revenues stagnate, like they have for basically 15 years (don't confuse stock price with company profits, the former is half phuckin buybacks), then promotions become a zero-sum game. And the guys currently in those seats aren't gonna volunteer to be subtracted, nawmean.

Imagine wanting to work for a company that one doesn’t pay good. Two takes away your free time. 3 could fire you over anything they want to. Bababa go get the vaccine or you’re fired. Wear a mask or you’re fired. Fuk ‘em no job crew living good crew and growing for myself crew

Why don't they just cash out? If they're not retarded then they'll already have 10m+ invested in liquid assets which means they're already set for life. They're not going to make it to some obscene wealth level so it makes no sense for them to keep grinding when they can't even use the money they've made.

Reads like Gen Z cope. "President of a company"? Let me guess: you want to reach equity partner without putting up the equity "because boomers"?

Scintillating take there.

When the purchasing power plummets, incentive dies, you can thank your government for destroying our currency via infinite spending and printing fiat.

Nobody is forcing you to work for these companies.

One in five Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ — and that number is only expected to go up, according to a Gallup poll released Thursday.

More than two in five of the country’s 68 million Gen Zers have a clinically-diagnosed mental health condition. Nine in 10 Gen Z adults diagnosed with mental health issues say they struggle specifically with anxiety. Moreover, eight in 10 say they fight against frequent bouts of depression.

Researchers are sounding the alarm: Many guys in their 20s and 30s are historically weak, which could have a disastrous impact on health and life spans. But it’s not too late to change.

Truly the most pathetic generation to ever exist.......

And it's only going to get worse.

True, but that's not a great justification for the rest of your post. "Purpose" changes, e.g., because we're not the product of WWII. Most of us were born in 'bounty', with parents who were raised rather strictly. So then it depends on one's parents - I was "taught the value of a dollar" by being made to run a paper route when I was what, 8? That's called "child labor" now, right? But my dad explained to me that X hours == buying an NES, Y hours == buying Final Fantasy, and Z hours == buying the grocery shopping for the week.

And yet Zoomers I have met tell me 'we need to learn why saving money is important in school'. Where were your parents, folks?You have been on this forum for 14 years and make 'post counts per day' an issue, but fail to calculate the total amount of time you have spent lurking on this forum (you replied in less than an hour) vs the replies that some put out rather rapidly. Your 'feeling', doesn't track reality - you're biased because you're insecure.

The reason why you're LARPing is the fact that you make wide links between 'high earners' and 'thousands of posts on the Misc', so the weirdo here is: you, the lurker who felt triggered enough by the OP (and my posts in general) to reply the way you did.

Now that I have dressed you down sufficiently, NYC checking in. You're quoting junior folks. The only hedge fund guys I know who 'have no time' are the junior ones working 90+ hours a week. Know how I know? Because I was invited to a party in the Hamptons recently (a quick example) on a Saturday and this reasonably junior guy was sleeping while his wife entertained the guests. All of the very successful senior people I know (a lot) generally only gripe about one thing: see the OP, which you somehow agree with but instead spent the majority of your post trying to attack yours truly.

And you got bodied. Age: 33, I'm 43, learn your place.

All the posters crying about Gen Z...those are the ones that are going to be pushing your diaper wearing ass into a ditch to die alone while they take what little possessions you have left. But hey, at least you didn't bitch about working overtime.

Imagine leaving your kids an inheritance, oof

You can either work all day and be poor or be poor on vacation all of the time, which do you pick? Govt shut everything down and printed money so I guess we really don't need to work to get money. Great Depression they didn't just print money and give it to people for no reason.

You work hard and make good decisions and what do you get? More responsibility. You don't work, you don't eat or have a place to live. Meanwhile, some antifa scum and BLM joggers live off the government dime and go burn things down, attack people, and they get off. They loot stores and people feel sorry for them. Being employed or owning a business no longer holds any status or a mark of character.Exactly and they are not.

Cool, no inheritance for them then.

Hell, they're the same people bitching that Boomers are still working. Reeeeeeee, why don't they retire? Why are they spending their money and enjoying life? Why don't they move to Florida and leave me the house??? They're so selfish!!!!

Funny thinking these boomers are going to have a choice when the pillow goes over their head.

She graduated from a Level 4 Yard... it's Tough in There

I don't blame the kids today for finding short cuts. Actually that's not true, many of them are perfectly willing to work hard but not in traditional fields; they will happily go without proper food or rest for days just to get that perfect viral video ir Tik Tok dance or some internet notoriety.

Based!

What are you talking about??? Zoomers loved their masks and vaccines. Hell, when they got the jab, they uploaded it to social media.

I plan on giving my kids some money in their 20s. So they can put it towards whatever endeavor they want to in life. Starting a business, buy a house, waste it all, whatever. And then that’ll be it and when I die the rest goes to charity

Filipinos are a different breed. They live on isolated islands, happy culture, but it's because they don't know anything outside of their small world. Good people, but I have been there twice and kinda lowkey hated it both times.

Who said you're meant to "work hard" without it being worth your while "economically" - or do you think there are no "economically worthwhile" lines of work any more?Yup. But it's 'society' that is against them - and only them, see?

LOL

Yes purpose changes, but it also takes time. We are making broad generalizations of an entire age demographic, right? So our outlook has to be broad. Trust me I have the same initial knee jerk reaction to just say "These gen z fukks are just pathetic and completely useless." A lot of them are. That's when you have to say...well why? Parents failed them. You can't expect kids to just "get it" when their entire social media and school system based upbringing tells them the exact opposite of the parents. The parents don't instill anything into these kids because they're too busy working to raise them. That has a HUGE detrimental affect on kids because they will then be raised by other systems or people that are opposite of your own values. That's why kids hate their parents. They teach them nothing, nag at them when they don't act like the way they want them to act, and then their life is curated by outside forces.

So that brings us to the purpose debate. The parents failed these kids, the school systems didn't teach them, social media warped their minds, and the value of the dollar is getting destroyed making all assets, food prices, and more seemingly unattainable. Then you mix in the pressure of parents that weren't there for them and these kids melt like snowflakes under pressure. Their parents want them to go to college that costs 30k a year now with 8% interest rates. The kids that graduated have a mountain of debt, low paying first time jobs, car payments, parents ripping on them for being pathetic staying at home, and everything school and the parents told them life would be was a lie.

Right? So why. Why go the traditional path when it is setting them up for complete failure and financial disaster? The corporate world is a hell hole, the two opposing life paths are tradie work and starting your own business. No one taught these kids either of those things so you think they are going to go that route? Globalism has destroyed wage potential and these kids see that the jig is up. They'd rather live a simple life without the hassle of debt, corporate boomers and gen x'ers disrespecting them, and being set up for failure. I'm just explaining why these kids as a demographic are all gay, retards, and genuinely lazy fukks. The irony is....you cannot blame them lol. The parents failed an entire generation of kids and now have to deal with the consequences.

Any gen z and younger that has good parents that teach them about life, instill good morals values and principles, and keep them away from the governmental institutions propaganda, will be the genuine winners of society within their age group. That's not a lot of them.

Being a perpetual victim is hard work man.

She looks exactly like you’d expect.

i'm a lazy gen z, i don't want to work until i'm dead for chit pay. what am i gonna do with that chit pay? take a 10 year loan on a car while I'm renting? then get a 40 year mortgage on a house? cost of living and inflation is only getting worse making it even harder to save money.

They knew there's a short cut to unlimited income in SM or OF and lost motivation for traditional 9 to 5.





The No. 1 industry Gen Z wants to work in, according to new research—it’s not tech

You won’t find the most popular careers among young people in Silicon Valley or on Wall Street.

Media and entertainment is the top industry Gen Z wants to work in, beating tech, health care and education, according to a new report from Samsung and Morning Consult.

The report, which surveyed over 1,000 Americans ages 16 to 25, found that Gen Z values flexible, creative jobs and careers where they can maintain a healthy work-life balance.

But isn't so much of what you're tracking here, as we say, about parenting? When you say "you cannot blame them", we can agree to blame the parents (or lack thereof) when we see some 18-year-old on OF, or someone robbing a local store, or people beating each other up screeching "WORLD STARRRRRRR!!!" Right?

But we also look at personal responsibility on top of that. How many times have we said here some teen should be tried as an adult? The tragic part of life is that there's no real "doing it over", which is why one of the best pieces of advice a parent can give is "get a good education" - where "good education" doesn't mean taking out a massive student loan for an art history degree from NYU then having a breakdown because the first job isn't really going to pay off that loan. A 'good education' is meant to develop resilience in a person, and it is this resilience that seems to be fundamentally lacking from many a Gen Z as we see in this thread when folks claim "Yeah it's impossible to get to the top 1% so it's all a lie, LDAR" - there's such a lack of logic here.

It's the media that sells the lie that Gen Z bought hook, line and sinker. These folks worshipping Tate's taint thinking they need a few Bugattis to be a 'Top G', and they wouldn't even know how to chop wood for winter heating. Is that all the parents' fault? Nope, but it is theirs, for not teaching their kids to disconnect themselves from media interest groups that are designed to weaken the brain of the average person, make them buy into this 'consoomerism', and exacerbate that by causing these kids to feel like they are failures unless they are a 'Top G'.

It isn't 'all Gen Z', but there is an issue of work ethic for sure. It'll get worse with folks having AI write their motivation letters, essays - critical thinking and ability to express oneself heading into the chitter too.

Unless you are truly highly specialized (10% of workforce), you are way more expendable than you think and should do as little as possible and take as much as you can. Your employer's job is to exploit you to do as much as possible for the least pay, and your job is to get paid as much as you can to do the bare minimum.


If you don't live by these rules, then you are probably a CUCK! The only other exception is if you work for yourself, obviously.

It's not even 10%. By design,everyonein a corporate hierarchy is replaceable and expendable. From the janitor to the C-suite. Companies never put themselves in a position where they are dependent on one person.
