There really is a problem with Gen Z and actually not working. I think with Millennials, so many of them are innately authoritarian (and were groomed that way by the public schools), that they literally did not know what to do if they weren't actively told or trained. No initiative, no work ethic, no discipline, no accountability, and then when you add Millennial cynicism onto that, you get people who choose to NEVER demonstrate those things, because: "Why in God's name would I put any effort in since you should never be trusted as an employer?"
Think about it: how the fuck can anyone work a real job if the employees are all distrustful, dysgenic mutants, with a social media addiction, and might be rabid narcissists. Worse, again, this is just the Millennials. Society has mind fucked Zoomers and Alpha similarly. The problems that the Millennials had have never even been addressed, let alone solved. We're all basically in the same boat at different ages.

It's a full on feedback loop at this point, so assigning blame for who kicked it off isn't terribly productive. Employers will lay people off at the drop of a hat so employees respond by becoming mercenary and displaying zero loyalty or initiative. In response to mercenary employees the employers stop bothering to train employees who jump ship every few years. Repeat ad nauseum. Low trust job market successfully established. Have fun.
I don't disagree because some of those employees that were dysgenic mutants, become managers who are dysgenic mutants, who were placed into that position by dysgenic mutants. Frankly, this is something you see in the Soviet Union with incompetence rising to the top at every level because of influence peddling and dependency culture.
I've actually decided that career advancement may be less important to me than a good workplace environment, because I can't be sure of career advancement in a bad workplace, when they can actually fucking rape my career and resume at first glance.
A good workplace trumps all. Working with good people means a better day at work and you'll get to actually sharpen your skills, so even if the axe does swing you'll be better situated to pivot into whatever the next place is. That said, I am very biased towards this dynamic given the nature of being a federal contractor means there's always a next job to move on to whether I like it or not.
Millennials got shit on by the 2008 recession, threw a tantrum with Occupy Wallsreet, then got fucked with rising real estate prices. Only the smart ones who took care of milestones early (marriage, vehicle, house, kids) managed to make it out ok.
I don't disagree, but my great disappointment with the millennials is that they stubbornly held on to Leftist ideology despite all available evidence, even their own deaths, and are the most authoritarian generation since the Silent geners... and for no reason.
We will be worse than the Boomers. I promise you. We deserve to be condemned.
That’s true, same for the Gen who came right after millennials, the Xennial Gen or whatever TF my generation is called. There was a tiny window for my Gen to get life squared away before the economy went to shit and housing prices skyrocketed, and I’m guessing only about 20% of Xennials got it done successfully, so everyone else in my Gen and those who came after are in a very bad situation, and they all know it.
Xennials (the "Oregon Trail Generation") are the transition from Gen X to Millennial.
Zennials are the transition from Millennial to Gen Z.
And yeah, they're pronounced the same way, which is why I prefer Oregon Trail Generation for the former. I don't know if Zennial also has a cutesy nickname to avoid this ambiguity.
My Gen isn’t Z. I know for a while they wanted to include my generation with the millennial Gen, but the people born between 1977 to 1985 had a unique upbringing, so they came up with the term “Xennial” and called my generation a micro-generation, because it didn’t really fit in with Generation X or the millennials or Gen Z. We experienced two worlds in our formative years, one world where everything was wholesome America before tech took over, where our adolescent years were spent outside playing, fighting and being very active, life wasn’t childproofed yet so one of us might catch a lawn dart in the head on occasion, then we hit the workforce busting our asses, and from about 18 to 30 years old we watched internet and smart tech become a major part of daily life. The “millennials” and Gen Z spent their formative years buried in technology, and Gen X experienced life mainly like their boomer parents did with the same opportunities, whereas my Gen experienced life in both worlds with very limited economic opportunity in our future unless we did everything right.

Been this way since the 2008 recession.

You're called a Zoomer, and we're all kinda fucked in the same boat, in the same way.
