Sorry I just ****ing can't anymore. This pops up all the time, probably just to trigger me. She's got hundreds of them. No wonder we're falling apart.

Gen Z "Give me everything you've worked for but don't make me actually have to work as hard to get it"

Yes, get off my lawn, scream at clouds, boomer, whatever.

 
I can understand why they are jaded and unmotivated. Relatively speaking they make less money than any other recent generation. And they have more education debt than any generation.

We have a lot of Gen z kids on our sales team. We are trying to figure out what motivates them beyond just money. Base pay has to come up. Thats for sure. We just raised it and probably need to again.

Relax, Lars. It all works out in the end. What you need now is a buffer. You know, like Michael Corleon. “Yeah, the family had plenty of buffers.”

You don’t have to deal with them. Let someone else deal with ‘em.

Good bourbons, cigars and red wine await. Trust me. Get your buffers in place. You’ve earned it.

Hmmm...it must be something about Carmel. We have some super smart, hard-working, dynamic Gen Z's working for us.

Maybe it's their manager that is the problem.

Look I get it. I'm actually encouraging raising starting pay and introducing more incentive based work (non sales). Nobody takes the bait. Nobody. Unlimited overtime for hourly - they use nothing and bitch about pay.

Like you, I can't figure out their motivations. Sex, money, drugs, alcohol? Nope. ****ing weird.

Also if you are Gen X or a boomer, go eat a large bag of dong. You raised these kids. Now you want to bitch about them?

I'm a millennial. So I can complain about all you douchebags. VBG 🤣
Yeah, but you're raising Gen Alpha. God help us all.

Look, I'm an asshole to everyone and in equal measure (except for sales people who I have to hate in silence).

Also, all Gen Z want to be influencers and content creators. Of course you got all the good ones. I'm left with teh rest. To be sure, there are some good ones but way too many are basically useless.
 
So triggered. Unless she's fake as **** (probably) SHE'S DOING YOUTUBE SHORTS DURING WORK.

Honestly, **** it. I'm going home. Yes, I'm still at work.

Well if it's any consolation your minion's generation will rule the world, so you might remind your Gen Z daughter to treat him well, she will likely work for him one day. Hell, my oldest grandson won't be 6 years old for another few months and he's already juggling 3 girlfriends and circumventing parental locks on all their smart devices and making covert online purchases. The 16 month old only has a spoken vocabulary of a few words but can swipe, zoom in and out on a tablet and open apps by name. It's nuts.

My minion will be the next Messi, corporate tycoon, or serve a very long prison sentence. Odds on each are about equal at this point

I wouldn't worry about the prison sentence, the paper trail he leaves will lead back to his sister (or you)...

I’ll be dead

You'll live long enough to be relegated to a granny flat in your minion's back yard.

Old attorneys never die, they just lose their appeal...and their briefs.

There will be documentaries about him. He’s sooooo handsome. Crazy strong. Ferocious. Charming. Sweet. hilarious. Incredible balance. Technical ability like you see with kids at la masia. And every last thing you hear about kids from broken homes get that you don’t want them to get seems to have attached to him 🤣. He’s so bad lol. It’s unreal. Well minion won the ballon dor. He’s also been accused of being a member of MS 13 and refuses to deny it telling media to F themselves while throwing gang signs

Who raised them to be this way?

Base bay doesn't have to come up. They need to experience real hands on work. They need to fail and fail hard to learn.

I'm between gen X and the millennial. Don't blame generation x. It's all boomers.

We need to beat the shit of these assholes like gradeschool.

But you're a liberal if I remember so you hit them with a feather duster which makes them even weaker and weirder.

I had one of mine come in yesterday crying his eyes out. A total blubbering hot mess. I said WTF?
He said that his mom had OD'ed this morning. He said that she was still alive, for now anyway. I asked WTF are you here then? He said that he isn't one to miss work and would feel bad not coming in.
I said get the eff out of here, go be with your mom! Then I got a big old dad type hug.

I'll probably fire him Monday.

KIDDING (about the firing part)!

There are some good ones. I've got a few. But damn, their motivations are just wholly different than mine. I'm trying to understand it and failing miserably.
