At 10:21 you say that only 39% of employers provide interview training, but that directly conflicts the info graphic that shows 50% of employers provide interview training

get rid of recruitment managers or HR.

I remember a job recruiter once mentioned that they will post ridiculous job post with many requirement or low salary because they have to first offer jobs to people in the country they reside in.... If no one applies they will off shore jobs to other countries with lower salaries Also some companies may already have someone internally they want to give the job to and so that job posting may be intentional to someone

I will attest to the fact that relying on using generations as an essentialist descriptor is not helpful. I was born in '97. I have been called Gen X, Gen Z, millennial, and more. Generations are inherently made-up category devised to split people up. It's not even useful for accurately describing people, only convenient. I just want people to look at me as a person. The fact the hiring process is so dehumanizing makes me wonder if that was on purpose or side-effect of corporate greed.

The problem is that there's not even hiring for 40 hours a week. I wouldn't even mind as a low paying job if it would pay 40 hours a week.

The main problem is that the United States has no quality assurance or universal accreditation framework for Skilled Trade Training Programs, Vocational schools, and Apprenticeship programs like the United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada do. In a lot of European and Oceanian countries, accredited Vocational education programs have the same standing as University-level Academic education programs. You can get apprenticeships, training certificates, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Vocational subject areas where you can work a lot of skilled trade jobs while learning a lot of the research, problem solving, and critical thinking skills taught in what would be considered traditional University-level Academic subject areas in the United States. Also, in those countries you can also do Apprenticeship programs in White-Collar professional service office job-type work as well, in lieu of going to college for a bachelor’s degree, basically in these countries you can get the same bachelor’s degree-required jobs that Americans get with bachelor’s degrees by simply doing an apprenticeship program no degree required. Almost everybody tries to go to college/university in the United States (most drop out before graduating) because apprenticeship programs in white-collar professional service industries are nonexistent, the only apprenticeship programs that exist are only for blue-collar skilled trade manual labor jobs, and even those manual labor apprenticeship are very difficult to get into unless you have a nepotistic or cronyism connection to the union leadership or you inherited an owner-operator business from a relative (with apprenticeship programs having no real accreditation or quality assurance framework). It is far more easier to get into a bachelor’s degree program at an upper-mid tier or mid-tier university than it is to get into a remotely quality blue-collar skilled trade manual labor union apprenticeship program. ------ Basically every white-collar entry-level job today requires bachelor’s degrees & even more blue-collar jobs are requiring associate’s degrees now (or unaccredited trade school at the bare minimum); while the media tells you to not go to college even if you have the means (although some back up plans/alternatives exist for those who can’t go to college/have a higher aptitude for manual labor, skilled trades, and retail work) or falsely claim a college education is literally useless. Plus, MOOC courses/certs w/out degrees only gets ppl dead end entry-level positions with limited opportunities for future career advancement; and being self-taught by simply watching TH-cam videos/auditing classes isn’t going to credential or authenticate your skill attainment. Also, The job descriptions today for positions at companies that no longer require degrees are starting to look like the course catalogs and syllabi of universities, it’ll be a “hidden requirement” now where degrees are going to be off-the-books “invisible requirements” so they can pay less for more work and to make it easier for nepotists to side step education requirements. Most of these jobs will still only hire people w/degrees even if it’s not in the job description. But the only way to qualify without a bachelor’s degree for most of these jobs is getting hired through nepotism, cronyism, being lucky enough to convince hiring managers to bet on hiring you even though you don’t have matching relevant experience then being set for life because once you start working that job you end up gaining experience that another person in the same situation as you when you were being hired/first started out wouldn’t have arbitrarily qualified for, started working in the 30s-90s or in rural/small towns when/where many of these same job titles had provided on-the-job training and only required a high school diploma or less with no directly related professional service experience. Plus you need ~ 2-3 years of prior experience for entry-level jobs & ~ 1-2 years prior for an internship - it’s a circular barrier to entry. A bachelor’s degree is t/new high school diploma. Most jobs that only required high school a generation ago now require a BA/BS & 1-5 yrs of exp. ------ The main reason why Colleges and Universities in the United States are super expensive is because Ronald Reagan cut institution-side funding for education, especially higher education (funding at public universities, and community development grants to marginalized community or working-class community-serving non-profit private colleges) during the Cold War, severely increasing tuition cost because many college students and especially college graduates with working-class backgrounds opposed the war thus causing a retaliatory cascading effect where state, local and federal governments started cutting funding to education en mass with the remnant effects still being felt here today; successive administrations have failed to undue the damage, many have not adequately attempted to alleviate the damage, while some are trying to jury rig the education system (albeit poorly) by providing student-side financial aid through government-backed but for-profit private entity-serviced subsidized and unsubsidized federal student loans (also thanks to Republicans banning the Department of Education from servicing their own loans) as well as pushing predatory private student loans to students instead, thus substantially pushing the education funding burden on the individual students (and their parents if they’re receiving assistance from family) as opposed to increasing institution-side funding for higher education and promoting the facilitation of quality fully accredited apprenticeship programs in both White-Collar Professional Service and Blue-Collar Skilled Trade Manual Labor segments of the workforce that generally don’t need degrees but require still require them in the United States, with quality accredited apprenticeship programs competing against or paralleling that of university-level education like other developed countries, especially those in Europe and Oceania are well known for providing. Skilled Trade Blue-Collar Jobs and their Apprenticeship programs aren’t hiring young people (anymore) either. Too many of them, especially ones with Boomer and Older Gen X managers, create huge - very novel - barriers to entry to the extent that you already need to know how to do everything before you land your apprenticeship/receive on-the-job training; many also want to only hire people with a wealth of experience and pay unskilled-level wages/salaries - they’re exhibiting these same problems found in the Corporate Professional Service White-Collar sectors too (skilled trades aren’t an easy escape from this) with both now in the 21st Century requiring more education, experience, and provide less on-the-job training than what people in 50s-90s had when trying to land an entry-level job or apprenticeship. Now there are many retirement age people in the skilled trades with few young people of the next generation to take their place because of this barrier to entry; basically the only ones that break into this sector and aren’t getting paid only minimum wage or only slightly above minimum (excluding hazard pay and overtime) are the children, relatives, and friends of people in scares and coveted union-protected journeyman and master positions (where some union apprenticeships have lower acceptance rates than many upper-mid tier universities), inherited a business or farm from an owner-operator (especially an owner-operator in an area with very limited access to the services provided), a former owner-operator that’s been bought out and given a large salary by a private equity (PE) firm as compensation; passing off owner-operator mid-career salaries in select markets as starting median salaries for entry-level non-union jobs, or erroneously comparing the salaries of skilled trade/vocational education-trained mid-career owner-operators against white-collar/college education-trained entry-level employees.

An analogous video was aired exactly 20 years ago about millennials 😅

I promise the feeling is entirely mutual.

Yeah, Boomers still suck.

My work ethic is fantastic. I work for myself and the senoirs in my ocean side community. These people pay me a minimum of 25$ per hour but usually around 35$ Why on EARTH would i take a job and pay taxes if all my options are half as profitable with way more restrictions. If i want to travel tomorrow i can. I wont have access to Cpp so i need to protect myself.

My father worked in road paving my entire youth. He was all over Canada away every summer for upto three months at a time. I watched him sell his soul like his father before him. But my father didnt gain wealth. He didnt gain a retirement. He could barely even have a house and two cars with three kids. It royally messed me and my sisters up having a semi absent father to no fault of his own. My grandfather did the same work for the same amount of time and retired with a farm with TWO homes on the property and two barns. He was done working by 50. Why on earth would i mirror the failed strategy?

First millennials, now gen z. Methinks the problem is less an entire generation of people and more the fact that the job market is forcing people to live for work rather than letting them just work to live. We don’t mind working, we’re just don’t want it to consume our whole life just to avoid living on the streets.

Reap wat they sow

When 40% of job postings online are ghost postings or fake jobs - thats going to jointly increase competition for openings and turn away the new blood that companies need. This is contributing to the perception that gen z cant work.

Navy Disabled Veteran i applied for 425 applications. Only 3 responded, and my current job im being paid 1.85 less than the minimum wage. You can't take sick days, and you can't ask for overtime. I'm 22 and working 5 hour shifts instead of normal 8. I hate having to deal with my job and not eating more than half of my days to make ends meet. Thank you America you failed your service members, veterans, and law-abiding citizens. Meanwhile, the criminals and corrupt police district attorney judges and politicians break the law or make it hell for everyone and gets away with it.

The other thing I've been doing endlessly (I am a third-year undergrad currently) is looking at peoples' resumes and LinkedIn profiles and seeing how "easy" they had it. And how "quickly" they got to a job paying $150k a year. Of course, none of those things mention the generally poor years after graduating, the struggle to find work, the struggle to figure out one's own interests and career path, etc. Which is fine, and how a LinkedIn profile, resume, biography on a website, etc. SHOULD look. I understand that. However, I think I have FINALLY been convinced after two entire years of me doing this (and speaking to therapists and my parents) is that nearly everyone struggles, especially at first. I attend a small, midwestern liberal arts college with high placement and career satisfaction rates (which is further proven by grads I personally know). Since I had to choose, I'm double majoring in history and music. Though I have absolutely no clue what I want to do afterward. However, I am finally beginning to understand that just going to college and obtaining a B.A., as I'm doing now, is a HUGE step.

DISCREPENCY Boomers are those born after World war 2. so 1945 after the war had ended to 1964. Generation X is (1965-1979) Generarion Y aka millenials (1980-1999) Gen Z (2000-2010) THE CULTURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE BORN IN 1999 AND 2000 IS GREAT. yes theres some Overlap. like how Those born in 1964 may have some overlap with 1965 and 1966 and 1965 with 1962. But Lates and Earlys normally share some overlap. but thats all it is. a small overlap. there overall worlds are compleatly different. i was born in 1999 and i still remember flashes of 9/11 i grew up entirely on Analogue with VHS Cassets DVDs CDs. CRT Displays. Dial up internet. Phone Booths. we normally played outside instead of sitting behind a screen all day. meanwhile zoomers normally grew up on Wi fi and Smart phones fiddling around with retarded internet trends such as the dumb figet spinners when we had fucking gameboys and YoYos and Slinkys.

I don't care what anybody says, they're LAZY and ENTITLED. No, not all of them, but most of them for sure. I will give 3 examples of insane things some of the bum gen z employees ive had have said to me..... 1: Im not late. I was absolutely ready on time, and would've been here on time, but MY UBER was late. You can't write me up for that. (I fired them) 2: I have made some really bad trades on Robinhood. I lost a lot of money. For that reason, I should get a raise. (I couldn't legally fire them for that, so i cut their hours until they quit) 3: I have a condition that causes me to get really hot and my skin reacts if i move to fast or work for too long at a time. "You mean sweat?" Yes. If i work too hard, I get really hot and sweat. Its a condition. I will need the thermostat set really low and breaks every 15 minutes. (I fired her PUBLICLY. She tried to slander me on social media and apparently attempted to sue me but was laughed out of every office she visited) These aren't examples of laziness, but they are examples of a mindset that just won't work for employers. Until gen z recognizes that by applying for a job, you are ASKING to be hired, and therfore accept the job duties. You cant ASK FOR the job, get the job, and then demand that the duties be changed or altered to fit your lifestyle. For some reason millenials and gen z think this is ok. Look at Starbucks. Those kids ASKED FOR THE JOB, got it, then decided they wanted the pay and hours to change. No. If you want to get paid 30 bucks an hour to pour hot water over dirt, then open your own place. Its a minimum wafe job that has a maximum value. (Like all jobs) There is no version of pouring water that commands that much pay. You're not special, and this isnt your company. Do what you AGREED TO DO when you applied, and shut up. We all had to do it.

Broski validly lost his shit

As a 30 year old millennial I have compassion for gen z, if put into better position, I believe I would have better language to address them and possibly meet them where they are better compared to a boomer or gen x in position of power

@ 1:30 Unions started in the US because of the active communist based organization in the 30’s and 40’s. I bet most Americans don’t know that history, lol. The 40 hour workweek was also introduced because of communist / socialist groups. Prior to that, child labor and employer abuse was rampant.

How dare you suggest we focus on the issue.

I saw my grandfather (silent generation) work multiple jobs to raise a family of five in a small modest home in what is now considered “the ghetto neighborhood” (dog whistle for black/brown neighbors) and he ended up becoming a hardcore Trump supporter. I could make arguments all day alluding to class and corruption but if it ended up railing against the almighty orange orangutan he wouldn’t have it. I feel like that generation was unironically more prone to fascism despite them being hero’s of WW2.

Society would advance so much more quickly if workers across generational lines would realize that they're all being yanked around by the wealthy, both in and out of work.

So the solution is to coddle Gen Z and train them how to function as a human on the job, rather than expecting them to be a grown up when they're hired. Ridiculous. No. This isn't an issue for employers to take care of. It's an issue for Gen Z to figure out or they won't be finding work. Welcome to adulthood. Life isn't fair.

The management in this survey said that gen z lacks communication skills. These are also the same managers and executives who will tell you to "just handle it" or will schedule a 2 hr meeting for something that could have been an email. There's also their corporate buzzword salad like "synergizing the dynamics of our workplace artifacts and culture" Communication goes both ways, and it's easy to blame the other party when it fails.

I'm in and out of work and I'm a Gen z I hate it I was surprised but a welcome rant to watch

👏🏾👏🏾

lol I'm still mad at not getting the position I wanted at my first job. 19, with a degree in diesel mechanic, with experience working in a dealership on trucks. I applied to a job close to home, and also a 50-something applied. Well apparently years of random jobs landed him the technician spot, with no tools either. I was relegated to a porter position, and even then it was as if I was a charity employee. "It's because we prefer 5+ experience" yeah you could've said that from the beginning and I would've applied somewhere else. Also, where the fuck am I going to get 5 years if I'm 19 years old?

As a hiring manager, I don't hire Gen Z because they're entitled, lazy and too needy. Too many of them think the world revolves around them.

I'm grateful to the Gen Z, because they make my Millennial Mediocrity seem like excellence by comparison. Gen Z dominates one thing though. The comment section

Only a few more years until Gen Alpha is the new scapegoat - I’ll take a GenZ co worker any day over a Boomer. I had 2 Gen Z Assistants who were so good, they made my life easier and the rare occasions they made mistakes, it was likely my fault for not explaining clearly and it resolved quickly. I know I know millennials such as me and Gen z don’t want to work anymore because we’re matching no one wanting to pay fairly anymore.

I feel like there is more wrong than we know. Personally I'm gen X, by this video's standards. I have very few friends my age, I don't relate with or trust most people my age. Was trained by people close to 100 years old, and odd how they had more drive and physical power than most my age, particularly my age, or Younger. This seems off. This generation could actually be physically poisoned, all were, but the poisoning of the past lingers on just weaker, but the new poisons don't trickle back to when the old were Young. Also, money is broken, I make $22, I do not have income, I go into debt monthly, I only dive to work, I don't have a rent, I have no cable or subscriptions, just phone, insurances, car payments and gas and food phone. I have not been able to afford heat for 3 years, so that's not even included, and I have never paid on my student loans, and no longer qualify for unemployment or snaps because of fraud the government committed and so won't investigate. I have not gotten a response on an application in 6 months, and I'm just a contractor, was trained as a fine artist with congressional honors, but can't trust in payments to even do work, most settle for the progress photos to see the work, but never intended on paying to own. Be sure their faces don't sell well to people who aren't them. Most second jobs are lower paying and will do what they can to not pay you. Thought only my private work was like that. Everyone just threatened to fire me, and begs me to say when I say I'm quitting.

Dude the genz we have passed on or fired were God awful. Always late by 30min-3 hrs, wearing open toe shoes and shorts to a lab job, making plans during their set shift and just leaving, getting drunk during shift, just sleeping during shift bc they went clubbing the night before, and I could go on. We have some gen z that are amazing, but it's been 50/50 where I work.

The reason why everything sucks 8s because our parents ralk about working for 10$ an hour in todays minimum wage is 16.28 atleast in my state and compared that to the 80s and 90s what we make today is like people in the 80s making 5$ an hour this is why we want better conditions or better wages os cause we work 40 hours a week just so we cant afford anything ever

Gen Z is educated, but not knowledgeable. Schools are now just diploma mills that have no interest in teaching actual job skills, and frankly I don't think they could since the advanced technological knowledge now required for many positions change every 5-10 years and even tech bros of just 5 years ago are being left behind. And of course, there is zero incentive for Gen Z to bother trying to work. They know they won't get to truly own their homes. They know they won't get to retire. They know their employers will just dunk on them the moment they're deemed expendable. And of course, in an era where 18 year olds can become millionaires with clickbait videos on social media, why should Gen Z care about being nuclear engineers, computer programmers, cops, or doctors, when such career paths will both leave them saddled with lifelong debt and low wages compared to some influencer who gets paid to play video games all day?

You are 25!!??? You speak and look 37...

When i was 19, the McDonald's in my town had weekly walk-in interviews on Mondays, starting at 8. Pretty rare practice it seemed. I submitted apps everywhere and never got so much as a call back. And it took me going to that interview at McDonald's for a straight month and a half until I finally got the job.

You did a good job!

Its the employers fault, they want to screw us over with awful work benefits, no good pay for the work that we do, on top of those issues we wont own a house at all

As a 32 year old who found out I am.gen z . My peers that go to college are the problem. They get that paper and hold 0 life exp being a nepotism baby they then feel entitled but can't work so yeah I wouldn't hire anyone out of college

Until we see a substantial wage uplifting that's not forced, unions will still exist till the end of time

Lmfao as A gen z who has worked in politics for a politician and in corporate now I’ll say that the older generations don’t try to mentor the younger workers. You got to figure most things out on your own. Also there’s very few Of us in most these spaces, which is fine but in retrospect these selfish people aren’t thinking about who has to come after them. I feel that Gen Z just don’t care to put up with the nonsense of these old children so we get labeled lazy 😂

I hate money so much. I’d rather just go to work everyday and have what I need and not have to think about it.

The main thing I’ll never understand is boomers and gen xers complaining about the work ethic and entitlement of gen z as if this generation raised itself.

I'm Gen Z (barely) and this is why I don't include graduation years on my resume. Let them guess.

Not sure about the whole world but at least in the US we should cut as many new H1B positions as possible. People from other countries are taking the jobs US citizens need to build their livelyhood. Hopefully the drop in interest rates drive new business and the new government Administration highly restricts immigration and H1B.

This is a very good video, but there are some things that I do disagree with in the video. I’ve been working for about 4 years now with the two biggest ones being in IT (desktop technician so nothing serious here) and carpenter. My best work experiences have been with millennials, gen x, and gen z (no specific order). When I’m on a job site I sort of go out my way to kind of talk about the economy and the work force and generally it’s brought up, by boomers, that the gen z workforce is x y and z, in a negative context, how they won’t mentor, hire, work with, etc. and most of their reasoning is because of what they’ve heard through the grapevine. I understand that this is anecdotal evidence, but my generation hasn’t been in the work force very long so it stands to me that it’s a bit unfair to judge us like that and unfair to take the word of someone else without your own experience. I’m not going to place all the blame, but to me it does seem that a lot of the issues that gen z/we face in the work force is mostly a result of boomers and their decisions. And before it’s mentioned, yes I know that not all boomers are like this, but it’s mostly boomers that act this way.

Gen Z person here. I've worked only 2 jobs in my whole life Walmart and a I.T worker. I used to struggle so much with communication. My generation struggles because we spend most of our early lives on technology instead of outside with friends

13:04 well yeah you can do that, but what benefit it will be for your lord-demigod-savior- omnipotent stakeholders and company execs short term goal and golden parachutes?
