You lucky you got them to work. American intelligence is in a rapid decline. Not to mention the illusion of free will. The truth is most the countries thoughts and wants were PROVIDED to them.

You want attentive unsupervised forward thinking problem solving workers? Have some big apple sized corp plaster such an agenda all over the radio, tv, movies, buildboards. It works for i-crap, it could very well work for you :)

You probably pay shitty wages. Why would they give two shits about your company when there is no room for advancement and you probably treat them like slaves for you shitty pay.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53103115


Speaking from experience? LOL
Here is a little clue for you. OP is describing the people. Who they are has nothing to do with where or who they work for or how much pay.

Need I type that slower for you to understand?

I casually asked a neighbour who is 21, what a bankster was. He said it was a famous graffiti artist. I literally had a moment like that WAT65 picture with the old lady that we see here on some threads.

Re: I'm a 40 year old manager who cannot stand today's 20 something workers,they ALL have ADD?
I am in agreement. Interestingly, I am in a scenario where I am the 20-something busting my ass, and we have one later 30s guy who acts a lot like the 20-somethings you described.

Thought the irony was funny, so wanted to say hi.

I find it amazing just how far the laziness of some people will go. Always coming up with some excuse for why they get to be lazy...

Hope things get better for us both AC

Unfortunately most young people are aware of the corruption and lies fed to is daily and it is affecting the way they cope with society. They grow up on a country that they are told the best from birth yet is the most corrupt. No wonder they give in!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29006067


My own conversations have shown me that they are absolutely unaware of anything beyond their circle of friends and celebrities and musicians.
They have no clue about politics or banks or corruption. They have the mental depth of a cookie pan. I am not being rude here either, I cannot have a conversation with anyone under 30.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26064162


I agree with you as I am in my younger 20s and can't stand to see most young people not know or care about politics or philosophy. I agree that the mass majority is what your describing and I can't stand it myself. What we need is a mass conscious change. I don't know what needs to be done for it to happen but it's needs to be done. I think my generation is to smart for their own good and that's the problem. The phones tablets and computers have made us feel like all we need is ourselves. We need to wake up and realize what the hell were doing!

News Flash: We are not alive to work!

If I apply 20+ hours a week of my time to something I do not enjoy I better be compensated well, or its not worth it!

"These kids suck at working."

Maybe the work is what sucks and they have the right attitude.

must've been nice to live in a somewhat-stable country. glad to see it's the 20-somethings problems.

not the government's problem, or the Federal Reserve's problem, or the people who took out frivolous mortgages, or the company CEOs taking even greater profits after downsizing.

Its not ADD its lack of respect for everyone and themselves, its a lack of good parenting, and mostly its lack of morals and leadership.

When everyone you see is either openly Corrupt and lazy even your own Government, or everything you see is lies being told to you by the MsM, and the SHIT the networks put out as entertainment is so trashy what do you expect.

I've been forced to teach myself graphics design/coding from scratch with no teacher. no college education.

I'm still in debt and barely get by. I could not live alone even in the slummiest of slumhole neighborhoods in my tiny town, I could not afford it.

times are different in 2014 compared to 1984.

sorry that it's all my fault though.

Re: I'm a 40 year old manager who cannot stand today's 20 something workers,they ALL have ADD?
All of my staff, and the staff of others in my role, all have what must be ADD. They cannot stay on a task long enough to finish it, forget endless amounts of detail and always are trying to juggle shifts and come in late or leave early in pursuit or because of some recreational event like concerts or festivals or I don't even know what. It's like they are grown up infants. They cannot do even light manual labor without endless breaks and complaining and end up with a sore back. Even the guys who look tall and tough are absolute wimps after ten minutes of basic work. They all claim they have ADD or some condition that apparently gives them a free pass in their minds to screw the pooch all day. Do not even get me started on the mindless texting and Facebooking. I have told them all I will fire the next person I see zoned out texting on a phone. I work in a semi office / light labour environment. Not a tough job for these guys but you need to stay somewhat busy. Everyone is constantly zoned out and blanking staring into a phone. I wish there was workplace cell phone jammers allowed to take away these endless sources of distraction. And it doesn't phase anybody when important jobs aren't done that could affect the company. There is zero personal responsibility. These people are all early to mid twenties and live at home or have six roommates and no gumption in life beyond texting and hanging out giggling. Today's youth are useless. Skinny jean wearing eunuchs. I would take an old worker over ten youths today.

I live in california. Unfortunately it looks like you live in Canada. I would say hire me and you would not forget it. I'm sick of making dirt. How the hell does anyone live on this wage in california? Sheesh. IF you ever need work in cali you know where im at. 6'6'' 230lbs ready to muscle(physically and mentally) anything all day any day.

I'll admit there are some deluded 20-somethings and I see them all over the place. I don't associate with those kids.

but not all of us are like that.. some want to work but realize the world is crumbling. there's nowhere to go because anyone who holds a mid-tier level job will not give it up. they're probably afraid of losing the job and will cling to it with their life(gotta pay the mortgage)

I don't see things getting better at all. the ones who are in control of this situation seem to be making it worse on purpose.. take the hint....

Overrated these days for the most part, yes. Years ago employers used to offer full time employment, on the job training, and full benefits including retirement, and paid their employees well. A job like this back then was something to be proud of.

Now you have shithead employers who hire only part time so they don't have to pay benefits, refuse to take the time to train on the job (they want experience only) and pay shit wages to boot. And then they lay off their seasoned workers before retirement so they don't have to pay the employee's retirement. Or worse yet, they don't want to pay any employees what they should so they hire illegals for shit wages instead.

So I ask you where is the incentive? Show me the incentive.

There is none.

The post that referenced 'all the males have high pitched voices and giggle' was a clue; these kids have been drinking estrogen-laced water since birth from millions of birth control pills and menopause replacement drugs that are NOT filtered out of the water systems; they're recycled again and again and again. The males aren't really males anymore, they're almost eunuchs; the fertility rates have dropped precipitously and that's not even taking into account everything else that's going wrong with the environment, the food supply, the radiation off Fuku, and the economy in general we're all dealing with. Add in that they've been exposed to addictive attention-grabbing games their whole lives, were stuck in daycare from Day One of their lives rather then home with a parent who hopefully cared about them (daycare workers are minimum wage, how smart do you think they are? How 'educational' for a young mind?)

It's all a mess and it's not their fault; they simply don't know any better and have been poisoned.

I agree with your point entirely

my point is that comparing modern times to "back then" opens a chasm of differences and concerns

more people on this planet, less jobs, greater divide of wealth, more expenses, and yeah propaganda is through the roof. the fact that any kids grow up "normal" these days is honestly a work of God (or good parenting?)
