I'm not unemployed or anything, but today i went to go volunteer at habitat/restore. I wasn't super chatty, i just took the tasks they gave me, finished said tasks as best I could, didn't chat too much with the other people, and kept to myself. Literally i spent 2-3 hours volunteering, and the manager woman offered me a job as a truck driver getting items from customers, a paying job too.

This whole hurr durr i cant find a job is complete bullshit, most kids today are just completely lazy fucks. Was the job offer glamorous? Fuck no, its a truck driver position. But it also means some extra income on the side, and its under the table too, so yeah, really nice. But, it's a job, and it pays, and i get to see if i like the truck driving job before i commit full time to it. I completely do NOT expect this job to sustain me, its just a fun thing to do on the side.

But i guess, its becoming so rare to find non idiots who actually do a job without using their job as the gossip room, so when you see someone actually doing their job, it comes off as shocking or something. They expect their job to hand them a 6 figure salary with full benefits for doing a bottom of the barrel job

Millennials. The worst generation.

[–] • 5 pts (edited )

The problem with boomers is they grew up in such a better environment and their egos prevent them from seeing that millenials have to work several times harder than they did just to be able to earn a very basic living with very small savings.

Boomer times - jobs paid more, living costs lower, more small businesses, more real vacation time, no technology and bosses expecting you to work after you got home, the actual concept of a "retirement" plan, more white people and white coworkers who had a sense of duty, stronger families and more people with inheritance from their parents, a savings account that wouldn't be wiped out by a single ambulance ride, normal education tuition rates, a future to work toward rather than the economic collapse we're facing...

Boomers bitch and bitch about how all ya gotta do is pull yerself up by yor bootstraps and they say this shit while they're getting full pension and retirement to sit on their ass for the rest of their life and go fishing. This isn't the 1970's. Those of us who work hard as hell struggle to keep up with inflation, higher costs, paying all the welfare and handouts, paying for all your medicare costs and Social Security (which we'll get the crumbs of), and dealing with insane amounts of stress due to technology and constant distractions. Not to mention abusive corporations which have destroyed the middle class and most small businesses.

Maybe step out of your fantasy and into younger people's shoes for once and see that we don't have a bright rewarding future ahead of us as you did when you were working.

Adding to this boomers think that school is the same today as it was for them.

They are living in ivory towered gated communities in a sea of declining humanity

There's an easy way to solve this.

Ask me how.

The anti-generation. Entitled, narcissist morons. No respect for hard work and no understanding of money.

Each generation is worse than the one that came before. If you wonder why, look to demographic shifts.

For the most part that seems true. Some are worth the effort though.

You’re angry at the wrong group of people. Staying your “no value of money” comment because it begins there. Money is the tool that’s preventing you from retirement and living a full life.

Getting angry at kids for learned behaviour from their jewed surroundings seems harsh.

I am considered part of that generation. I have worked damn hard. I believe that I have the right to judge them in this case.

They divide us by generation. They divide us by religion. They've corrupted our men into giving women the right to vote which has lead to dividing us by gender.

I don't think it's smart to go down this "oh fuck this entire demograph of my own people" path. Know who your enemy is. It isn't grandpa, Jr, sis or your religious nutjob aunt.
