I'm a Millennial, and I've been in the workforce for a decent time now. I find some Gen Zers to be entitled, whiny, undisciplined, and bratty. One in particular has no respect for authority. She whines, "EWWWWW!!!!!!" and "What do you want now?!?"
I was talking with some older colleagues with at least 10 years more experience than me. They said that 15 years ago, pharmacy techs used to ask pharmacists, "What else can I do?"
Gen Z techs now play on their phones and scowl at you when you give them work.
I'm kinda at the end of my rope. If my supervisor sees my post, I don't care.
I totally agree, entitled and spoiled for sure. They can't imagine a life without a cell phone, fancy cars, designer clothes and a work environment where the less you can do, the more "me" time is left. I pre-date even the Baby Boomers, but I remember when everyone was grateful they had jobs and were willing to work hard to keep them. No freebies, you earned what you had and you kept it, no throwaway society back then. I am appalled that people are resisting going back to the office to work long after Covid, and getting away with it. I just read where one company is saying, "come back to the office to work or get fired"....Good for them, I hope it catches on.
