what boomers and x-ers fail to grasp when they mock zoomers for "not being able to handle 5-8" is that zoomers 5-8 is nothing like theirs ever was, when they were properly taught and introduced to the workforce; could freely socialize, drink cofe, and waste company time on petty drama; and even while wasting time they knew they would be paid good enough to support a family and even have some time nice vacation
nobody is there to teach zoomers pretty much anything even when (and they often do) pay for their internship instead of getting paid; no socializing can be done when eagle-eyed bosses screech when they "catch" you going to the bathroom; you have to be always available even after hours or else you're a "weak asset" and as a result get no rest; and when the payout is barely enough to pay rent and food but no luxuries like insulin, honestly, why even bother with 5-8
millennials are a special case, they never entered the workforce at all, forever denied by the "you have no work experience :(" barrier
@matana
Don't forget about the modern opinion control, where the boss outright tells you to believe a philosophy that doesn't real, or get fired for wrong think.
Other then that, you're spot on.
@matana
The company literally forces me to answer this question:
How happy are you with company's push for diversity? 1-10
If I say 1, then obviously, the company didn't fire enough white guys yet.
If I say 10, then firing white guys is a thing I'm happy with.
And I start shaking over these surveys. You know... Nothing wakes you up like a good cup of psychological horror in the morning.
@beardalaxy @matana
Well, I noticed, that they do mainly focus on getting all numbers up to at least 8, so I put 10 literally everywhere, and move on with my day.
It's the only way to fill the survey without feeling horrible.
@LukeAlmighty @matana if it's just a number of 1-10 then say 5 and refuse to elaborate. if they ask you directly just say "it's alright" and then refuse to elaborate further.
