Employers now hiring etiquette and hygiene coaches for Gen Z brats

They can’t even wipe their own asses. They smell.

Training Indian employees on how to use deodorant/ antiperspirant would be a start.

Enjoy, employers!

If you're too chickenshit to get tough with these little cunts, then it's your own goddamned fault.

Keep treating them like little snowflakes.

You'll see where that gets you.

Here's a helpful hint: You're the employer. You tell THEM how it works, and not the other way around.

The problem with these types of stories is that you're talking about 15 and 30 year olds. I'm sure a bunch of teenagers bring mommy when they go to interview at Taco Bell but that doesn't mean the whole generation behaves that way. Same with the hygiene thing.

r4 I don't believe inter-generational warfare is covered by the terms of the Geneva Convention ban on shared guilt and collective punishment.

This is proactive and a solution to an ongoing problem

It is a shame it has come down to this - I could not wait to grow up and be a self-sufficient adult.

Some of us did not have home training from parents who were too involved in their own lives.

Off topic, but I admire your commitment to racism.

Once again, this is mainly about Gen Z from liberal households. Liberalism considers anyone under age 25 "kids" and teaches them to be anti-tradition and always fight the (white) man.

On the other hand, Gen Z from conservative homes are usually more mature and industrious and wiling to follow orders. Also, many young conservatives tend to be married/settled down by age 25.

This has got to be gen-wars clickbait. “Young job seeker mommy to the job interview” is the new gerbil myth. Yes, yes, there are Gen Z workplace readiness issues but come on.

Typo/ omitted word — “Young job seeker brings mommy to the job interview” is the new gerbil myth.

Anecdotally, my stinkiest hookups were all white.

I don't understand who complains here. The managers hiring the coaches, aren't they also the ones who failed to teach these skills to their kids at home?

So? They'll still be replaced by robots.

if you have to learn this stuff later in life, it's embarrassing but necessary. take the free lessons and move on

I call bullshit on a lot of this. I teach Gen Zs in college now. Sure, there are differences across generations, but there more minor than significant. I have students who work hard and are willing to go the extra mile. I have lazy students who won't do anything. And I have entitled students. And I had the same mix as I did 25 years ago. I will admit that Gen Z has a harder time communicating face to face. That is a mix of the influence of technology, social media, and Covid.

And R9, that's not racism. It's a cultural issue. Many Europeans need to be introduced to deodorant as well.

Thanks for posting this, r17. This entire discussion about Gen Z not pulling its weight feels rather made up. And very US-American. I don't think Europeans or other countries have this type of discussion, other than the usual 'the younger ones don't want to work hard anymore'. And that's a sentiments older generations have toward the younger generations for millennials.

This is gaslighting of the purest strain 👏

People who sit home playing killing games all day, listen to Andrew Tate, and are angry that beautiful girls don’t magically show up in their bedroom and fall in love, so they become enraged at girls and go out and shoot them, are sub-ideal employment candidates.

I’ve worked with a few who had terrible body odor. I’m old and I’ve worked with young ins with bad manners who were slobs before but this is the first time I’ve encountered people in the workplace who seem to not wear represent or bathe regularly

Deodorant I mean

They do, but it's different.

Oh, please R9...even Indians themselves recognize this:

Perhaps you shouldn't believe everything you read, OP

Thanks for the article r23. Anyone who lives in a city with a lot of Indians knows many of them smell. I always wonder why they don’t just wear deodorant. And it’s not the garlic and curry smell. That is completely different than being a stinky bitch

Sounds familiar. 11 years ago, millennials were entitled, lazy and/or lack a strong work ethic. Now Gen Z has no manners and can't communicate? Different complaint if we're being fair.

R17 Not arguing for or against the validity of this article, but I am calling a bit of bullshit on the "Covid" excuse. You're saying that one year of mixed homeschooling in one's teen years is enough to warrant this magnitude of social ineptitude?

I'm a millennial. I was technically homeschooled for a year when I was 15 out of necessity (my parents separated and my mother moved somewhere inside of a dangerous school district because it's all we could afford). My mother worked 14 hours a day, so my "homeschooling" consisted of her buying me a stack of books about philosophy and Emily Dickinson and birdwatching from Barnes and Noble and sitting out on the front porch reading them with me for a couple of nights before she got bored. After that I got myself a full-time job at a record store in town (lied about my age) and that was that. I went back to school the following year and fell right back into the swing of things academically. I didn't socialize with much of anyone that year but my brothers and sisters and the old dudes who worked at the record store. Somehow I managed to come out of that experience not irreparably damaged.

There are also plenty of kids who are homeschooled all the way until high school, and sure, some of them are a little weird, but they're still able to talk to waiters and make phone calls and go on job interviews without curling up in the fetal position and rocking in the corner.

R26, what type of millennials were only entering the workforce 11 years ago? I had my first job in '98.

R28 Right? I'm 37 and have been working since 2003/2004.

You are obviously referring to young people other than Barron.

My pussy stinks!
