Gen z the companies are like "yeah you can intern here but we wont pay you until you have 4 yrs experince, good luck surviving working 40hrs a week with no pay for 4 years!"
Fr tho, older generations like dogging on us. They always say things like “back in my day” and compare our lives with theirs. However, what they fail to understand is that back in the day they were able to work one job and be able to afford a house, a car, food, kids, etc. Nowadays, if you are just entering the work force you are going to be making very little if anything, and if you work a normal 9-5 job along with a side hustle you can still barely afford rent and groceries.
😂 the other day a gen z employee of ours said “next month I will be feeling depressed so I won’t be coming into work much. Can’t give you dates, depends how I feel”. I was so shocked 😂
@@Geilolp.That's not how it works. In Europe 'sick days' etc are given by employers legally/out of respect. Taking the piss of that would just lead to laws cracking down like in America and suddenly everyone is disadvantaged and not paid when they're ACTUALLY ill, because of a few entitled people like you who decided to take the piss.
If by assertive and transparent you mean he was so blunt and blatant about his lying and that he made himself look like unreliable by being so indolent and indifferent, yeah…
I hope that was sarcasm.. he may have been honest ..but at the stake of dependability and professionalism. .he was wearing a hoodie at an interview...do people do that?
Millenial here. You got us wrong. I don't give a damn about net zero or any other virtue signaling crap. What I want to know is, do you value me as an employee? If yes, I'll work my butt off. If no, I'll see myself out✌️
“You got *us* wrong” “ *I* don’t give a damn” Couldn’t even maintain your “I speak for my entire generation” bullshit for more than one sentence 😂 Net zero isn’t “virtue signalling crap” you spiritual boomer. It’s the bare minimum
This☝🏽😌 i give good effort first month and if they dont reciprocate then expect me to not give a fuck.. lol i make sure the job works in my favor not the other way around
We tend to get mixed with gen z a lot and all this net zero crap is impossible to achieve right now. We don't have an alternative other than nuclear power, which no one wants for some reason even though we can now re-use the waste.
Feel like you missed on Gen X a bit. The offering was right, can't offer your usual salary, dangle the false carrot. But Gen X does not care to use the product and is not excited to be here, lol.
You're right, he does not care to use the product. But it's something he said for the interview. He may not even love the company and the excitement coudl be short lived. This is an interview to get the job. Are you Gen X?
Me a millennial: does just enough to secure my wage, no more, no less. I walk in at my start time and leave exactly on my finish time. I will not answer emails during my breaks or lunch as that is my time. I don’t want to attend corporate events and I don’t want to communicate with any of my colleagues outside of my working hours. It’s not rude, it’s just boundaries. I value the separation between work and personal life and I won’t go above and beyond without fair compensation for doing so. 😊
I am a millennial I couldn't care less about what the company stands for. Pay me enough and I will help you burn the world down. Life is darn expensive now for me to give a damn about morals anymore. Maybe 10 or 15 years ago, I cared about these things. Now? I need that dough.
yeah, gen x collectively tends to tank interviews when it comes to small talk portion instead it's more of a measuring contest using their qualifications and experience. But there is very much the mentality if this job doesn't bend to compromise to demands (and X will compromise), they'll walk even if it shoots themselves in the foot in the long run. They'll go work at a grocer, if need be. the o.gs of the hustle. There are a lot of diverse X CVs out there; i.e. primary field, then doing a stint of something completely different, primary field, then doing yet something else radically different... like a mixture of high and low jobs. You also have more highly specialized in niche fields that can come off rather well, over the top cocksure, about their value... if they feel like their time is being wasted, they'll walk. They don't play h.r. hiring games and don't respond well to frivolous social niceties - they become defensive, suspicious, more than having a clear yes or no to their prospect of hire.. of course, everything depends on their fields but these kind of commonalities remain. Personality-wise, they tend to be highly compartmentalized, they've developed a persona for each facet of their lives. So, they have work self, home self, parent self, etc. It's a bit multiple personalities... and all that can make them seem aggressive to apathetic. You'll find more than one with experiences of making h.r. cry... and not intentionally, just no time for b.s.
@@KieroSi As a Gen X'er I agree with your statements. Try putting up with S head "me me me" Baby Boomers and then the "rub some dirt in the wounds" Silent Generation and you get a X'er. We can be resourceful, multi talented but still solo in all our interactions. We are actually genuine good hearted family people that work hard.
Actually we might just have agreed to it, but already would have been planning the next move to another company. This company would have been the backup plan.
@@KieroSi That's sort of true, my career 'plan' (in the broadest possible sense) has been... Interesting. I pushed my limits to know my limits, and then took a pay cut to work in a job I was comfortable in.
You missed the mark on the X gen. First, we’re not that excited to be there. Second, we don’t give a shit about using the product, and third, you’ll pay us what we’re worth, or we’ll find someone who will.
As a Gen X'er I am used to not seeing us represented. We are smaller generation and completely annoyed by the Boomers because often we get called Boomers and we are nothing like them. We see them as screwing things up for us and taking all the good jobs and leaving us with the crap, but we don't complain because we are more apathetic and don't whine because that's what our parents told us (who were born in the Great Depression so we were not spoiled and were often ignored. We were the latch key kids and creative as hell! We are the eye rollers ~_^ We don't like the Boomers or the Millenials as we see them the same--modern day hippies who were coddled too much. Our Gen Z kids are a lot like us but more worldly and have a lot of independence to make their own choices and our family is run like a team of individuals (except for the brain dead Gen Z'ers who are immature and suffer arrested development). We love our kids a lot but we don't want to control them because we know doing something that makes you happy is way better than being something for status, because we all hate our leftover jobs the Boomers let us have, because there are way too many Boomers! That's my two cents anyway so whatever...
Blue collar boomer here and not a hippie bone in my body. Raised by a widowed Dad who worked in factory for 40yrs and raised us 3 kids. No college just hard work. You can hate all you want, we don't give a shit. Signed, old truck driver.
@@user-np3on7br9f Millennials are worse off. Most of my generation didn’t waste time in college. I’m 25 and have a wife and 2 babies. The lack of traditional values is what hurts generation more than money.
He’s oblivious of what Gen X is like. Gen X just wants to be paid. We don’t give af about you or your company. How much are you offering? So I can weigh my options.
Gen X here I remember my first interview I got asked why I wanted the job, told the guy the truth because I need the money to buy clothes pay rent and buy food. Got the job there and then.
You must prove why you are boss level, because you aren't well known. Show off why you are great as you say you are. Usain Bolt always had world champion potential but he first had to show it.
I’m on the older end of Gen Z (1999) and I think like the Millennial in this video 😂 If I interviewed for a corporate job, I’d probably say similar things!
FFS, why the same dude for Boomer & Gen X? I’m Gen X, my parents are boomers, there’s a HUGE gap between them. Also, since recruiters got a taste of Gen Z, I’m FAR more marketable! Thanks for that 20% pay raise, Gen Z! 👍
most don't really know how gen x were.. unfortunately, the majority of clips and documentaries in their teen to young adult eras have been lost (many to fires, several warehouses that stored global media suffered major fires and other disasters in the 80s & 90s, while most else is buried at unis that have yet to make them available online, what is available are fragmented clips and often from the narratives of older gens or made long past their peak years) from the late 70s to the mid 90s. So, you find many filling in the gaps with other sources and the broken records that remain... and their own generational circlejerks of assumptions based on such, largely born of their familial relations and resentment of them.
I love GenZ. I am GenX and completely whipped. It didn't help there was a recession in my country during the entire 90s, so we got conditioned to take anything.
Really? The Xer has the job and steady income. The Zer will end up without both jobs and will need to live off of some sort of Internet income hustle type of income. The Millennial will end up being the one hiring people within a couple years. The Boomer doesn't actually need the income, they are bored, looking for something to do.
@@jonathancummings6400bro hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the majority of jobs today pay so little you’d have to pick up a side hustle anyway. That’s why Zers don’t give a shit about decorum and we will always be loyal to ourselves above our jobs
Yeah because us young people are just too lazy and it’s definitely not because the prospects available to us make us to depressed want to be productive
As a gen z we in fact like to negotiate with out care in the world with other options on the side.We advocate for our rights which can be taken as laziness. Lol the sustainability is important Lmao 🤣.
Millennials not so much some of them don't care about all that stuff and are a bit more rugged and not spoiled. I feel millennials make some of the best workers with gen X.I have worked with some Boomers too and they are more bossy and more matter of a fact.
Yes but that's not to say that boomers don't work hard at all. Yes they like to lead and be in control but to that end they will work there butts off to get there or at last older boomers might.
I definitely do, if your companies “culture” doesn’t align with your companies mission statement,how can I trust you? The least you can do is come prepared enough to lie, I did.
Millennials are concerned about the same things GenZ is (environment, sustainability, diversity, equity). It's just Millennials overall have A) more formal education B) varied worldly experiences C)actual work experience. So Millennials combine some of the serious go getter attitudes of older generations like Boomers, but with the modern considerations and sensibilities of GenZ (in fact many Millennials were teachers to GenZ K-12 students). Millennials were not the power brokers over the last 20 years, but have been entering that phase over the last couple of years. More Millennials will see their ideas implemented over the next 2 decades. GenZ is just along for the ride. GenX was never fully plugged in, kind of going with the motions.
@@danmur2797 The main reason corporations are gutting their “social responsibility” departments is because Zoomers don’t care as much as millennials about the “values” of the company…
I once had a boss try to get me to do his job for him, told me that it would look really good for me and that it would help me get promoted to supervisor in the future... I asked him "where are you going?", he said "nowhere, why", so i hit him with " how will i get promoted to supervisor if you're not going anywhere?"... his whole little scheme fell apart.
@mikoltavas2434 He's asking if they think that they will actually reach 0 green house emissions by 2050 as the company stated on there website. He want's to work for a company who values environment and sustainability as much as him basically.
The way the older generations see gen z is embarrassing, most of us work 40+ hours per week and some have multiple jobs just to afford a room in house share or some are having to live with parents and still pay rent ( as they should), why make us out to be lazy when most of us are fighting everyday to afford food, and then they wonder why we’re having kids later if at all, we can barely afford food for ourselves let alone a child. It’s just embarrassing. Not to mention us all being roped in with gen alpha even though most of us are in our mid 20s…
Gen Z are some of the hardest working people I know. I'm in full time trade school for massage therapy right now and I'm in Gen Z, so many of my classmates are killing it in Kenisology classes, doing full-time school and working part time, sometimes two jobs on top of that, several with a baby. It's a tough world out there feeling like your slaving away just to make ends meet and knowing you'll probably never be able to afford a home or raise a family.
Here is what Gen X said to that interviewer. After we stopped laughing and pointing at them, we would have just got up, looked and laughed at them harder, then walked out laughing at them even harder after wiping a tear out of our eye. Then went back in the room to laugh one more time while flipping them off and slamming the door. Sincerely, Gen X
maybe it's because: gen z: "what was the pension scheme again?" Interviewer: "well we'll give you 3%, and you'll pay NI on that, which will go towards state pension which you won't get because the pension age will be 80 and you'll die on the tills at tesco"
I worked for million dollar company that opened up 100 stores after I started working and out of all my raises my paycheck might’ve gone up one dollar after three years of working with a company. There’s nothing wrong with younger people being more aggressive in their job interviews about wanting better benefits, and hours. Especially if these jobs can’t actually give us any real security or barely any vacation time it should be normal to get at least two weeks a year some companies don’t even think that’s OK
I've done that before, I had a sales job for a brief period, management sucked there was no guidance, eventually I was the last guy they had and I just told them I had interviews and that they might see me next week, they didn't.
