I think I can shed some light on the socialization issue. I can't speak for everyone but for me its the fear of having a conversation turning awkward. When speaking to a stranger you don't know how they're going to react and some could also be wary of new people in fear of being judged. It's no secret the workplace has changed quite a bit especially in the realm of technology but I think one of the things the workplace lacks is when it comes to training because not every employer especially if the job is entry level isn't going to show you how their systems work but they expect you know the work right off the bat. This isn't taking into account the qualifications some are asking for. Many of the things you hear about Gen Z are similar complaints that were said about the Millennials when they were our age. In my opinion it feels disingenuous to put an entire generation in a box and assume they're all lazy. The same could be said about Boomers and Tech literacy.

Millennials were only seen as lazy back in the day as many were against working 50-80 hours. I can't fault literally anyone for that. Our predecessors fought hard for the 40 hour work week over 100 years ago for a reason. Not wanting to work ridiculously long hours constantly is not laziness unless you just can't make ends meet, although, that's a sign of a deeper economic or financial problems than anything really. But the reality is that they tended to do their jobs and were generally pragmatic. That's not the same as gen z who literally have people having mental breakdowns over working 25 hours. That literally wasn't a thing until their generation.

I agree. Some of these employers either give you little to no job training and sometimes they pair you off with someone who doesn't want to train new employees. I was that guy, I had only 2 weeks of job training and I was paired off with a terrible employee who treated me like trash. The 2 week is not entirely bad, but definitely wish I could have at least had a month of training to prepare myself, but I was more upset at how I was being treated just because I was a new employee to the company. To this day, I'm still with the company, but that particular employee is still there, never even apologized for how she treated me. Thankfully I requested to work with someone else, since I couldn't bare to work with her anymore after one month. Definitely wish corporate companies can improve on the work life, but sadly, the way I see it, management from a lot of these companies are nothing but cold heartless weasels who don't care about you, they just care about filling their own pockets with company money.

In 1979 this new hire engineering grad had a masters degree and instantly wanted to be manager. All he did is publish useless memos. He took a Military Handbook spec and put the corporate Logo and his name on it with cover page and had the mail room send out paper copies to 50 different engineers. He firmly believed that was work and want a raise for creating scrap paper. A coworker had a stack 3 inches thick that he uses as free scratch paper. He got canned / fired for cause since on a business trip by car he went off to sell weed and came back to work stinking to high heaven. He was there say 3 months and in sustaining engineering and a different group than I since in design work. He seems more of a surfer person like Jeff Spicoli than an engineer.

I only had issues with older lazy co-workers (the types that think they know better because they were there for years, even though they are 35+ and working as a fast food cook and only ever have worked fast food) when I first entered the workforce to help pay for college, but most people of similar age back then never really had problems with management and just did what they were told and kept the place clean and running like they're supposed to. That's all you can really ask for. New workers of that same age group nowadays (17-22) are so pathetic and lazy in many instances they can literally barely do their basic job duties. Like, barely can take an order. Will literally just stand there looking off to space, or down into their phone, unless specifically micromanaged nonstop. Now there are definitely still hard workers of that age group that actually want to make something of their life, but that's far fewer than in the past I've found.

Its because in our society you do not get anywhere without obedience (if you arent wealthy), and young people havent been beaten into submission by the powerful yet. Older people had greater benefits for doing what was told, but those rewards were gradually stripped away for the sake of "efficiency", so there isnt as much merit in being obedient anymore, this isnt just exclusive to the US youth either, it happens everywhere on the planet, because its a global phenomenon produced by the way we run our society. This problem will start getting resolved once the people with control start getting their heads out of their asses and actually try to improve society instead of blaming the weak for not being more convenient to them. Or until they die and get replaced with people that actually acknowledge the flaws.

Why would we be screaming and yelling at work? Obviously we’re going to act differently depending on where we are. Also, gen X were helicopter parents and overbearing. That coupled with the fact that we were born during the 2000s when the internet was taking off and grew up online had a profound effect on our social development. Millennials and gen X tend to make their profession their entire identity, while for gen Z a job is a means to an end and that’s it. I’m not at work to be buddy buddy with people, I’m there to do my job proficiently and efficiently so I can get a paycheck.

This 100% this is also not taking into account that the school system also doesn't prepare most students for the modern work environment. Colleges also struggle with this as well with some using outdated information. We're always told to look to the future but when we see the world as it currently stands its all struggle, strife and heartache. Many of us were kids when the crash of 08 happened and many of us saw our parents/family struggle and some barely recovering from that. Then we go into 2020 and similar events happen again and how many were able to crawl out that hole too? There are days where I sometimes wish I could back to 2010 and relive my childhood again.

I totally hear you, but as a Xennial I can let you know that workplaces with gen X and boomer leadership like to see that "buddy-buddy" mentality a bit. They like to see a "teamplayer", lol. That in addition to the work qualities that you listed may help you last in a company. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people who are good at their job be passed up for a promotion because they weren't friendly and buddy-buddy in the office. You have to be "likeable" as well. For millennial leads you have to be cooperative and easy going overall. I'm not telling you to give up your core self, but find a way to make your authentic self likeable and respected. Those are my observations from being in corporate America for close to 20 years.

From an educator to another. I do think your view towards education, especially college education is limited. After all we need more highly qualifed professors, so some people are meant to remain the field of education. The problem is that for the sake of our society we need a balance of workforce training as well as academic training. After all the innovations that you train others in come from those career academics. With all respect you misunderstand education at the higher education level. Often times professors are looking to find those who will continue to the work to generate new knowledge and insights. Should there be a balance, yes. I also am in a similar part of higher education like you are, but I am trying to help while also informing others we need to train people to be both good employees and good knowledgeable citizens. In America especially where the literacy both regular and political literacy is barely at a 7th grade level. So we can't just focus on job skills and workforce related skills, we also need them to work on their civics skills too.

I think in general Millennials grew up with a better work ethic. I can only speak for millennials because that is my generation. Also, millennials in general were very good at initiating. The job market in this generation x era is a circus. I’ve personally seen young guys in their 20s going to job interviews with sweat pants on and a t shirt. A lot of younger people do not have the required skills necessary to transition into professional environments. Perhaps it is bad parenting or just a lack of self worth. I am 38 years old and I did not grow up like this. Because my parents were and still is very FIRM about how I am supposed to conduct myself. So yes the generational aspect is a major factor. I also wanted to say that gen z are very motivated but lack the skills to get ahead. You cannot compare Millennial to Gen Z. I can only attest to the people I’ve worked around. Millennials are being hired at an increasingly high rate. I can attest to that. I have very little issues with convincing employers to choose me. I communicate well. My body language gives off positive vibes. I dress very well. A lot of jobs I’ve applied to since age 15, I’ve been hired on the spot. A lot of generation Z(s) lack communication, professionalism, personal presentation. Where do we learn these important skills at???? IF YOU SAID “AT HOME” round of applause. There’s no difference than going on a date with someone, and your potential partner sees you slouching in your chair, or you are just simply uninspiring. You are dressed poorly. Your communication skills are sub par. You won’t impress the person sitting across from you. If we want the employer to have high expectations, we must impose those same expectations on ourselves.

I'm sorry to say this and I know I'll catch hell for what must be said, but... CHILDREN ARE NO LONGER ARE FUTURE! NOT ANYMORE!! THE FUTURE BELONGS TO A.I AND AUTOMATION!!! We are rapidly approaching an automated, digital society of a 21st century New Machine Age. As the workplace becomes more streamlined and mechanized. To the point where there won't be as great a need for a large workforce as in ages past. With the aid of A.I. automated systems, we'd only need a tiny fraction of the current workforce to keep society going. As whatever amount of new jobs created in that time period won't ever offset the amount destroyed. I truly believe this will be far more horrific than the loss of manufacturing and industrial jobs decades ago. It will be become painfully obvious that educating a large population will be seen as a massive waste of resources. As most will graduate to a lifetime of brutal, crippling technological unemployment. What I eventually see happening is... Cities and states will close public schools en'masse beginning in the early 2030s. Whatever schools left open will have a more streamlined curriculum and reduced to the 7th grade. Afterwards, if parents want to continue their children's education. They will either pay tuition for the child(ren) to attend high school (similar to Japan and S. Korea) or... Enroll their kid(s) in a company training program and hope for the best. As only a select few will be picked for whatever open positions at the time. Sadly, most will be left behind in the shadow of technological unemployment and no... I don't ever see any form of UBI ever implemented in our lifetime. That's just copium for those unwilling to see the coming reality. Also, it would be far cheaper to let the masses fend for themselves. It has come to the point where I and countless others would prefer dealing with properly calibrated machines and automated systems as opposed to an incompetent workforce.
