You have failed to address the reasons behind the declining average work ethic. Social media is a propagator not a cause. The internet is one of the great equalizers between the poor and the rich. Workers now have access to more information about company standards due to the internet and can pick and choose. Naturally people will flock to the least exploitative companies.
This is missing the mark in so many areas that I get the feeling you're not trying. I don't understand how you see people wanting more for less when we're getting so much less for the same agreement as previous generations. Companies are no longer taking care of us or paying reasonable wages. Promotions don't rise to the rate of inflation so technically we make less money every year. We're all getting laid off without severance packages when companies are pulling in some of the largest profits ever. What's wrong at the core is that we have 0 trust in work and are expected to show up like we trust them 100% and everything is just fine. Yall expecting us to thank you for handing us that shit sandwich and look at us weird when we show our reasonable sense of ICK. We're done with the hypocritical bullshit. We're just taking steps back in order to protect ourselves from a space that's demanding more and more for less and less. Which is the healthiest thing we can do. If you want us to respect companies and work culture that has to be a mutual relationship where companies respect us and hard work is rewarded. Stop gaslighting us. If you want to lead and make a change advocate for raises and better work conditions not pizza parties and slides. Stop encroaching on our ability to work from home. Give us trust and autonomy. If you're too scared to talk about the real issues just don't address it at all.
The disparity between rich and poor. That's where the work ethics went. Working for miserable wages. Never being able to afford their first home. I cant even fault the kids. Fuck the bosses.
@@TrevorHamberger That's you conflating laziness with refusal to participate in a rigged game, or to just do the minimum possible in a system that has seen insane productivity growth while salaries barely kept pace. A 101 economics course would do you good.
I appreciated watching your video and gaining a new perspective. My two cents as a former business owner who sold it to return to 9-5 life is that there needs to be a balance between the value the employee brings the business and the value the business brings the employee. Across generations people are reconsidering their values and priorities, especially post pandemic. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing.
If by "more, more, more," you mean a fair income, good health benefits, and respect, then sure. That's what young people want. I think it's more accurate to say that employers want more, more, more and to pay less, less, less.
Millennials got dealt the bad card with the 2008 financial crisis but it taught us to be frugal and the subsequent QE/zero interest era and the tech boom of the 2010s gave us low cost of borrowing and decent salary. Gen Z, one the other hand, got into the job market at or right after COVID, at time when the tech sector has a mass layoff, and inflation is at record high. It instilled a sense of hopelessness into them and instead becoming frugal like millennials, they indulge in doom spending because of over exposure to social media. And if you don’t give a shit about life in general, why give a shit about work?
I remember before I joined the military, and I was going to live on my own. I could get a cheap 600 studio apartment. Now, that same apartment is 1400 a month. I graduated in 2017..... These shot up in 2019. Now I look back on it, thank the high heavens. If I was living in the private sector, I would've been obliterated.
How do I say this … this is an overwhelming under researched and reactive personal opinion ‘hot take’. Working ‘hard’ is not working smart. The systems themselves need reworking & that’s what is occurring before us. This old fashioned ‘work hard for other people and get compensated’ is dead. Evolution is moving and society is evolving. Spiritual and energetic awareness is increasing. Telepathy is increasing. This is a time where the old and few wave is colliding. This message is the old way. It’s going the wrong way.
The only thing that’s “hard” is understanding that we keep regurgitating things and keep up these cyclical perspectives that do no one any good. I can work my ass off and so do others in general Z but we see how soul crushing these “sterile” boring soon to be obsolete office jobs or other mechanical tedious jobs that will be taken by AI robots because that’s how it should be. We aren’t a mechanism, we are animals that are shoved into one dimensional jobs that do us no good other than to pay the bills and barely get by. When houses are out of reach for my generation, when we are killing the planet that gave us life over profit, when each generation before is out for the own self interest, and when these dead end jobs give us no satisfaction.. why even give it a go. Even the ones that have “given it a go” over and over and found it to be living hell due to low wages and high work demand.. there’s zero point. Not to mention toxic work culture that only looks at you as a number while manipulating you into believing you’re “family” and throwing on a superficial smile. It’s dystopian and genuinely pathetic to see these people who are older than you and “successful” have such little character. There are countless examples of people who make less but are overall way better human being than these empty greedy low testosterone CEOs that suck the money like leeches. It’s cowardly and we all should band together and die on this hill for a movement. Have a backbone unlike many “men” in the US.
You know, when a business takes care of you, doesn't drag it's feet over giving more than 3% raise each year, pays you for overtime, and keeps it from being toxic and gives you a pension. Then yes, loyalty. But all too often you have to quit to get a raise that isn't a joke, have to work unpaid overtime, you deal with the shyte floating to the top, and bullying everyone. As well as basically getting fired when you get too expensive, because right to work State rules.
Also, just want to say, this is how i know youre not a worker. Work for someone else, you will learn real quick why people are opting out, and you probably would to. This weird obsession with efficiency and slaving away and making all these sacrifices all the way up to the day we die, is whats going to kill all of us. Why do humans have this weird work ethic of going fast as you can? Why are we going so fast? Our government literally cant even keep up with the comouters we have now, let alone AI on a quantum computer. We need to slow down and actually use our brains now. We shouldnt be monkeys just banging a hammer all day everyday just because we can, now we really need to think about if we should.
I appreciate this video even though I don’t agree with the points mentioned. I think we just need a new system. The truth is, its simply not working for the collective anymore. We can’t keep blaming the individual contributors. It’s a wider issue. Yes, when you have a job you agree to exchange your time (and attention) for money. But organizations have gotten out of hand in what they expect people to do. I’m not doing 3 jobs for the salary of 1. That just doesn’t make sense. People want to enjoy living their lives before retirement. People need to feel like they’re making an impact. The trend that people don’t want to work is grossly exaggerated. As humans we’re wired to build towards a goal but we also are social creatures that need love and community. We care entirely too much about productivity and profit.
People watched a lot of advice videos and the most given advice was "working hard for a corp is NOT worth it" "retire as soon as you can" and "friendships and experience are everything"...marriage and kids...more mixed reviews. If that is the feedback people are giving, than younger people will heed it lol
I have teenage children and I see the same in their attitude towards school. They're interested in learning but do not like the concept of being institutionalized, having a discipline, and be structured. Of course, those could all be hallmarks of being in your teens, however, I feel that the problem at hand might be a much deeper sociological issue. Is it that they're all just taking the path of least resistance because they see no value in "working hard" and "showing up" or is there a potential that is untapped? There might be a very different way to motivate them than simply saying "do the job because you are getting paid for it", because if you don't you fall through the cracks of the society. The gen Z probably either does not see or refuse to accept this narrative as their reality.
Alright. Question, why are we working so hard? Why are we rushing? I genuinely dont understand why we have to slave away when we have our whole lives to work. Also this shows, companies dont really show loyalty to their people, so why should normal workers?
I used to work hard. And then I learned that if I’m not going to be rewarded to stop working beyond my job description.

@@TrevorHamberger If an economic meltdown is what it takes to wake up the elites then so be it. The path we are on is not sustainable.
@@TrevorHamberger That's you conflating laziness with refusal to participate in a rigged game, or to just do the minimum possible in a system that has seen insane productivity growth while salaries barely kept pace.

There is no incentive to work hard.
More responsibility for the same amount of money? Yea not gonna happen. Employers get what they pay for.

I’d rather just be rich then work tbh that’s what I’m doing instead

So how come the Amish can put up 50 houses in a couple of days and be happy?
