Millennials are too lazy to hold a steady job

As a 62-year-old employer at a small company who has hired many young people, I can honestly say that the vast majority of you are lazy and too entitled to hold down any job. It's no wonder all of you complain about stagnating wages when none of you put in any effort in your work.

Out of the 20+ people I've hired as a business owner, there was only 1 young person who I thought was sort of decnt, but even he's not up to my standards.

This is simply what employers want in an employee:

- Must have college degree in a hard science with 3.7+ GPA
- Must have 5+ recommendations
- Must have at least 5+ years of experience
- Must have won prizes
- Must have good social skills and amazing quantitative abilities
- Must know useful programming
- Must be willing to work overtime and on weekends occasionally without pay
- Must be prompt and be able to handle criticisms
- Must understand what I will give bad and false reviews to his future employers so that s/he doesn't move to other companies

As I've said, out of 20+ young people I've hired, only 1 has come close to my requirements. This is for a $9/hour with no benefits receptionist job.
He was a math and econ double major at a top 20 university and he fixed a security vulnerability in my website when it was hacked. Unfortunately, he left after 2 years. I don't know how he got a different job, though. I gave him terrible references so other bosses wouldn't hire him.

Why can't young people meet my standards? I think a lot of you are too entitled and are unwilling to learn the necessary skills to get jobs these days.

2/10 bait

>not wanting to do the same menial task until you die an unfulfilled wage slave
yah, I'm sure laziness is the reason

Tfw all the people in my office regularly expect younger employees to spread their wings and leave after 2 or 3 years. We know that there isn't ample room for everyone to grown internally. Just yesterday we sent someone off with pizza, cake, and all the really bad music he likes.

The guy at the top of my branch is a Boomer, but thankfully he isn't retarded. He understands that he lures highly qualified recent grads in and gets those few years out of them in exchange for them getting good resume experience.

>2/10 bait

considering that productivity continues to go up but wages have remained flat for a long time

>mfw I actually sabotage the company from deep inside
>make people fight each other
>make people turn butthurt
>create bullys by encouraging others
>let contract run out and work somewhere else and repeat

mad gramps?

"Wage slavery" is the common excuse young people use to argue that a job isn't necessary in the real world. Well guess what? It is.

When you include NEETs (not in education, seeking employment, or in training) in youth unemployment statistics it's nearly 25% for American 20-somethings as of last year.

Your generation is going to fall apart once us Boomers die off. You'll be in your 30s and 40s with no experience, no work ethic, and no clue what you're doing.

Boomers built the US economy. Without us you would all starve to death.

You need to try harder

These are very low energy posts

More motivated than the wastes of space I keep hiring. Besides, Germany is the single greatest economy in Europe at the moment. At least you guys have dedication and ethic, even if you personally goof around.

>62-year-old
>on Sup Forums

I'll bite on this bait.
1. graduated with a 3.72
2. Have way more than 5 recs, mostly military and professors
3. I have more than 10 years between jobs and military service
4. I have won medals, and awards. I don't give a fuck about "prizes"
5. I was the President of my fraternity
6. I can program most front-end languages and a few higher level back-end ones (Python, Ruby, etc)
7. I'll work anytime the company needs me, but I'll be getting paid
8. I'm always 15 minutes early and critism doesn't hurt me at all
9. You can be a dick because...

Conclusion: Someone like me would never work for a piece of shit like you. 9 bucks an hour? Hah! I make 100k before benefits. You don't understand Capitalism if you believe $9 an hour with no overtime pay can capture anything besides the bottom of the barrel. You are paying hamburger prices while expecting steak quality.

Your company isn't shit because of the workers, it's shit because of old fuckers like you.

A man needs to discuss politics somewhere

>Japan
Your country and culture is so garbage your birth rate is negative and you have an active problem with young men not leaving their room.

>3. I have more than 10 years between jobs and military service

So you're at least 32 then? You're not in the pool I'm referring to.

Plus, Hong Kong actually prepares its teenagers for adulthood, unlike the US.

If you ever visit the US, visit a ghetto high school. It'll be a stark contrast to what you're used to.

Why would people with actual qualifications and experience do a $9/hr job?

t. Brothel owner

American on vacation. Try harder.

>any jap speaking fluent English

They're a nice people, but not exactly the brightest.

32 year olds are still millennials

I'm an American currently in Hong Kong for work. I am 29. I joined the military when I was 18.
You are a fucking idiot.

Right now I would say this bait is like a 3/10. It has potential, but certain parts of it just go too far and make the whole thing impossible to believe. You need to tone it down. Here is what you could do to improve this bait.

>Change $9/hour to $42,000 annual salary
>Change "no benefits receptionist job" to "entry/mid level position"
>Change "top 20 university" to "great university"
>Remove all the bits about giving bad/false references
>Remove the line about prizes
>Drop the GPA to 3.5
>Change "amazing quantitative abilities" to "strong quantitative abilities"
>Change the number of recommendations/years of experience required to 3+

>>Drop the GPA to 3.5

You wish. This is exactly the kind of underachieving arrogance I'm talking about.

If you can't at least focus in school -- a complete zero stress environment where you're babied and all your needs are taken care of for you -- then you're not going to get by in the workforce. You got some growing up to do.

So you were enlisted then? I'm so sorry for your life.

you got BTFO and all you can do is insult enlisted soldiers?

(You)

No one with any path for success available to him joins as an enlisted man after the year 1980. Even developmentally impaired, spineless manchildren become officers through ROTC these days. If you can't even do that, you have my sympathy but the real world will be a lot less forgiving.

THIS IS BAIT

it's a sarcastic thread, brainlet. He's acting like an employer to try to make a point about how the demands are too high.

>working for company with shitty SJW and PC leadership
>implying I will bust my ass for someone like that

I'm out of here as soon as I find something that pays better.

If Merkel keeps importing Arabs as she has been, you won't be able to for much longer.

>Having to shake hands with a nigger

Give me a job or I'll stab your kids

I picked the first thing off of Google, my apologies

>Must be able to do a tonne of shit for me for free.
>Must have gotten into debt, just to get a degree, for the privileged of doing all the extra "free" work.
>Must be able to handle it when I call him the "entitled" one.

While OP is bait, there is truth hidden in it. This is literally how companies + boomers operate.

Do shit for me for free, or you're entitled.

It's the 2016 equivalent of knowing that one asshole that pretty much says "Do what I want, or you're just being selfish", except they're fucking everywhere and institutionalised.

I own a small business. I provide internet service to extremely rural areas. This will sound like shit to cityfags, but we offer up to 20Mbps download.
I have two competitors. One offers a max speed of 3Mbps for $10 less than my price, the other is Centurylink who advertises 1.5Mbps but delivers about 500k for $30 less than my price.

When I first tried hiring, I started everyone at minimum.
The BEST employee I ever found was a high school kid who could only work evenings and weekends. I gave him a raise to $20 an hour after the first month. He was good. Eager. Wanted to work and learn. I raised his pay to $30 an hour after the 3rd month.
He quit after 4 months, to go to college for "business".

Saw him again last month. Now, he works as a barista for $8 an hour.

The guy I hired after him was 29. Started him at $15 an hour because he had a "tech" background.
He called in sick (which means I had to still do the work I hired him to do, plus the work I planned to do) 3 times the first week, twice the second, and 4 days the third week.
On the fourth week, he told me he needed salary to keep working for me, because he couldn't pay his bills with an hourly wage. I fired him on the spot.
Of the 6 days he actually worked out of 3+ weeks, that useless fuck called me no less than 20 times each day to ask stupid questions. Never could remember the proper order for a cat5 cable, and was either too lazy or too stupid to do a web search. One customer told me later that she went to check on him when she hadn't seen him for three hours while he was "fixing her router".
She found him laying on her bed playing games on his phone. This fine example of a millennial has a wife and two kids.

I don't bother trying to hire anymore. I got tired of working a hundred hours a week, so I raised my prices until demand fell to a level I can do by myself.

Fuck employees. Everyone wants a job, but no one wants to work.

>- Must be willing to work overtime and on weekends occasionally without pay

Haha, fuck that, cunt

Almost fell for the b8 but

>62-year-old

Like anyone over 40 would know how to use a computer.

Dude it's the same in Britain, can't put their iphones down for 10mins let alone get out of bed in time for work without some feeble excuse centered about relying on their parents

Holy shit. Retards calling obvious sarcasm bait triggers me so hard.

...

Fuck. Working at 7-11 must be brutal.

Why join the rat race when it comes down to supporting brown people who destroy your nation?

Cant even have a wife and family anymore thanks to feminist brainwashing so why the fuck would i join in this sick experiement.

Freeter for life

Hire me faggot

...

Bait

>$9/hr
>no overtime an no weekend pay
>won prizes
>3.7 gpa
>I will give bad review so they don't go to another company

The problem is you. Your stander are too high for the pay,and you come off a a cunt.

>Hire me faggot

No.
What part of "fuck employees" didn't you understand?

I reworked my business so that I don't need to hire anyone.

I have too much work to do. No time to wipe asses and hold hands.

Seriously. What kind of cunt can't figure out the proper order for a Cat5 cable, after being shown a dozen times, and having a constant internet connection that's paid for by someone else?

Why don't you be a faggot and just hire foreigners instead, like all the other pricks helping the globalists destroy their own countries.

You should rot in hell if this isn't a bait thread.

You basically come on here and gloat about it but you're no diff than some entitled person and you act like every single millennial in the world is entitled.

how long since your cock stopped working?

I don't really in principle disagree with any of this.

t. Lazy millennial half-assing a job I could be three times more productive at if I cared

Where do you live I'll work for you dead ass

>Must have at least 5+ years of experience

I still don't understand this bullshit.

Who can you HAVE experience if you have NO experience and you NEED to MAKE experience.

For christ sake, even the worst of the secretary jobs requires "experience" ; JUST TO ANSWARE A FUCKING PHONE AND KEEP TRACK OF THE APPOINTMENTS.

should've mentioned it was an entry-level job that requires 10 years of experience.

>japan
>young people
pick one

Japan, we know you are still butthurted by the nukes, but let it go dude.

We lost the War, it was a fun ride but we lost.

>Employer weasting time on this board
This killed your bait.

You have to be more subtle, my good jetfag.

If nobody has "experience", then suddenly everyone has "experience".

typical strayan criminal

that's why you invest in training and have internships.

a job market cannot sustain itself based on 3 years of experience. if job turnover in 2016 is 1.5 years on average then how do you expect people to have 3 years of experience?
you know the term you get what you pay for?
would you hire someone with 10 years experience but double the wage? stop whining you cheap fuck

>It's no wonder all of you complain about stagnating wages when none of you put in any effort in your work.

Wages have been stagnant since the 1970s.

>As a 62-year-old employer

Born in 1954, working age at 1972.

So what we've learned is that wages have been stagnant relative to inflation during your entire working life and you didn't notice, because you're retarded. Then you're creating a post-hoc narrative about why "kids these days" are complaining.

Meanwhile the cost of living has skyrocketed, housing being the brunt of it.

In short, if you're serious, you're an ignorant fuck for being so old and allegedly accomplished. These basic facts have escaped you and now you're just looking down on people because you made it.

I think we can safely assume the greatest generation before you called you an entitled little twat too and you cried about life being unfair.

I know what you mean Nipponboo.

I am a third generation Jewish-Korean who just happens to be a pornography producer. Everyday I tell young Korean men that their girlfriend can make upwards of 4000 won (that's $3.49 U.S.- a small fortune in this benighted asian hell hole) having unprotected anal marathon sex sessions with my underprivileged Ghanian friends Tyrone and Jerome.

So many young men and women today are content to stay on the government dole rather than put in a hard day's work with my disadvantaged African friends who are just trying to better their lot in a foreign patchwork quilt country :(

Your standards are too high. Get your head out of your ass and start living in the real world. 9$/hour for someone with a 3.7 GPA? Fuck you, that's a slap in the face. If you're going to pay those wages, you might as well hire a foreigner.

t. Lazy, entitled millennial.

Terrible bait..

In reality most young people are not lazy as a standard they are just aimless and having a very difficult time coming to grips with how the world actually works.

I work for a Toyota subsidiary in a management position and see this day in and day out. Young people do not want to work in an industry they mainly want "office" type work. When they realize they will not be able to get it they become disenfranchised with there lot in life and wallow in self pity waiting for their parents to save them.

When this doesn't happen they either give up and blame others (while acting out and eventually getting fired), become defeated and resign themselves to the same job without any though of bettering themselves (most do this) or rarely they set new goals and ideas to achieve to advance their career.

It is like the pizza delivery driver who cries about making minimum wage all their life but never taking the opportunity to advance within the company because it is everyone elses fault they are in their life situation.

too fat, bro

>Where do you live I'll work for you dead ass

see

>boss hires me for part-time job
>fuck yeah haven't worked in a long while, need this bad
>min-wage, no benefits, no sick days or breaks
>hours quickly jump to 35+ per week
>now working six out of seven days a week, 6-8 hour shifts every week
>"""part time"""
Just two days off out of seven would be plenty, I need time to do living-stuff.

Waiter, this pasta is stale

OP, you're either a troll, or a massive cunt.

The best part is that the boomers think we're going to give a flying shit when their companies collapse - along with the Social Security pyramid scheme that they all expect to fall back on - and they're out on the street begging for change.

When that day comes I will be happy to tell them that they already got all the change they deserve.

>most young people are not lazy as a standard they are just aimless and having a very difficult time coming to grips with how the world actually works.

Most people younger than 35 still think like children.

They watched mommy and (maybe) daddy come home with money. While watching cartoons.

They decided then and there that money is something everyone gets because they exist.

Someone, not them of course, must hand out money for new Xboxes and LED TVs.

They truly think they deserve it, just because they were born.

They were given awards for getting out of bed their entire lives. Of course they think they deserve a raise for showing up.

Suck my rod on this one. I don't work for you, I work for money. I'm not a humanitarian.

Bullshit

Kids haven't changed, you have

The corporate hard work cult stops people being self sufficient, so we would actually starve because of you, and your enforcers. Wage-Slaves are brainwashed and farmed like cattle by your cult. After the collapse, your feminine metrosexual ways will not be tolerated.

lmfao you're a college student.

'hard science' gave you away. Keep justifying being a forever alone engineering student.

Sup Forums is the future of america, the belief that meme magic is more important that any substance or discussion.

It is.

However, most can't create meme magic, or anything else.

A mountain of gold is useless without someone who can create a forge.

This is where your bait becomes obvious.

Whats a matter gramps. Have you taken your high blood pressure meds yet?

Literally illegal for a former employer to talk shit and they all know it. Nice bait m8.

>6. I can program most front-end languages and a few higher level back-end ones (Python, Ruby, etc)

You mean play with shapes and colors. A 45 year old Mom with 2 hours of time can "program" shitty HTML and Javascript.

>and a few higher level back-end ones (Python, Ruby, etc)
hahahahhaa

Please stay the fuck out of my field. You idiots cause more problems than you have the capacity to understand.

how do i get recommendations and experience for the first/second/third/fourth job?

not everyone wins prizes, otherwise they aren't prizes. if you want prize-winning employees then 90% of the population will be out of work

this has to be bait

i won't show up for less than £10/hour, although that's worth less now so £20/hour fuck you

Yeah, I have no issue with the high requirements. Most of the kids that Ive seen start out, I dont know how they wipe their own asses. Hey protip: work isnt supposed to be a fun hangout spot. Work hard, earn some money, go home and have fun.

LOL @ your requirments, pretty much slave labour, this is why I just went and started my own business.

Now I can be a NEET, lie around all day playing vidya and masturbating while still earning fuckloads of passive income. Life can hardly get better =]
