Driving me insane that all of these "trends" of "bad" zoomers or millenials is literally that generation's regression to the mean. Sorry, but half-assing it so you don't get burned out is how it's always been done. You tried to turn people born after 1985 into good little drones that would work extremely long hours for no compensation, and that worked for a while, but people get tired eventually.
The other thing that drives me insane was living through articles about how lazy and entitled millenials were while everyone I knew was overqualified for their jobs and working unpaid overtime.
I wouldn't even go that far.
This is just the standard right wing business circle jerk that's been happening since someone on a business channel needed to fill air time.
It has no basis in reality that's more than tangential.
They realize they have to stay at their current job because of financial obligations and responsibilities, but they're not ready to leave the position, for one reason or another.
Yeah, because of the financial obligations and responsibilities. Do editors just not exist anymore?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
What do you mean me copy and pasting something into an ai review app doesn't contribute to society.
Slaves these days are only in it for the food and shelter. Where's their earnest desire to please the master?
Pretty astounding that the fact that slaves are not very invested into their jobs must be discovered anew every century since at least fucking Cato the Elder, and the more worker conditions resemble slavery, the less productive they are. I guess more sabotage is needed.
Just the typical financial horseshit of "someone is only being productive if they're working every single moment of every single day." Ignoring what "productivity" actually means and ignoring how profit is actually even generated. Nope, if you aren't working 8 hours with no breaks between tasks and if every task isn't directly correlated to my profit margins that means you're lazy and unproductive!
This is literally how all of management at my workplace behave, and of course they're all the ones contributing to the profit the least. Fucking parasite slugs.
they are literally going to give a nobel prize in economics (which is a fake nobel prize to begin with) to whoever comes up with the first capitalist economic model that can explain that workers do not like having their profits stolen from them.
They'll instead give the prize to the guy who invents the shock collar that can tell when you're being unproductive
Nonsense, workers love having profits stolen from them. It is simply the barriers to entry to find new jobs has gotten too high.
Doing the bare minimum lets the worker derive D amount of surplus value. There is an amount, T , that workers would be willing to pay to be able to switch to a job that they enjoy doing more, however the job search and resume crafting costs workers an amount of work, say R.
R - T < D will cause an employee to switch jobs and potentially be more productive, so we must
make machine reading of resumes illegalsubsidize career matching companies to help workers find the job of their dreams for a nominal fee, F , where F < RD should also be reduced. In our institutes sampling, D declines dramatically when workers receive death threats, assisting in the lubrication of worker mobility to areas of enhanced productivity in the free market.
This unproductive mentality is affecting both small businesses and large companies across the country
Won't somebody think of the corporations??
And that effect continues to be recorded profits for the companies and 80% of people living paycheck to paycheck so they can shut the fuck up and preferably remove themselves from the conversation in the most sudden way possible.
"OK quiet quitting didn't work let's invent another new word to describe the feeling of workers not voluntarily exploiting themselves"
Also love how the rugged individualists absolutely crap their pants the second an individual doesn't spit shine a corporations boot.
"Why aren't you more enthused to committing a third of your adult life to your job while the world burns? There must be something wrong with you"
Isn't this the whole "quiet quitting" or "laying flat"?
Yea but everybody told them to shut up and fuck off when they tried that so they've invented a new different word that means the exact same thing.
: "Ugh, it seems gen Z doesn't want to work..."
: "Is that a RESUME AND A COVER LETTER! EWWW, GET THAT SHIT AWAY FROM ME, I'M PICKY!"I tried that..
They still slashed my hours
And now they threaten me everyday to saddle on new roles or I get terminated.
I'm literally being coerced into working harder for less money and I can't be any more miserable
Remembering when this was called working for the weekend, and feeling old
What annoys me the most about this shit at this point is that these guys know its bullshit, they're just deeply cynical propagandists.
They just keep making up new words for having a job to get mad about
