Seriously, does no one give a shit about their job anymore? It has become next to impossible to get anything done correctly. In just one week I have
>received the wrong items ordered
>had a package stuck in customs because the shipper didn’t provide an invoice and other required paperwork
>had a plumber show up on the wrong day and time
>had an electrician scheduled that just never showed up or returned my calls and emails
>received the wrong meals for takeout
>received an RMA laptop that they never even fixed and just mailed back to me saying it was done and tested
>had a coworker schedule meetings with a third party and forget to invite or email the team until 5 minutes before the call prompting all sorts of mayhem
All of that in just the last 72 hours. I know it sounds like whiner boomer shit, but everyone I talk to is experiencing the same thing. It’s like the collective IQ just dropped or everyone went Galt. WTF? Think it’s boomer shit all you want, but if the ball gets dropped on simple shit just wait until it’s something complex that you need like surgery or a new engine.
Do workers no longer care?
IQs didn't drop, people just only work for the paycheck. They are in it for the money, and the money only. They don't give a shit if the job is done right or not as long as that paycheck keeps coming. And if they get fired, who cares because companies are so desperate for workers, someone else will hire them immediately.
i think a lot of folks are actively trying to get fired, why work when government stimmies will keep you above water if you have been "laid-off" because of the bat aids
Ok, I’m 39 and I know a shit ton has changed but wtf? I worked bullshit jobs and it was just easier for all parties involved if you just did your job right. Now it’s like no one cares or I am just being somehow fucked with. My coworker also took it in the ass recently. Bought a whole new living room set that was in stock (“plenty on hand at the warehouse”), so he sold his existing couches and chairs because the new ones were coming that week. Guess what? There none on hand and he is now on month 4 using fucking lawn chairs in his house. It is everywhere you go. It’s gotta be vax brain or something.
COVID benefits ran out everywhere over 6 months ago. No one is getting them anymore. However, you are correct that no one cares about getting fired anymore when there are so many "gig economy" apps out there now that allow people to instantly start making money. Boss threatens to fire you? Who cares when you can just go do DoorDash until you find a new job.
All of the covid stimmies have long been cancelled. How do these people fucking eat when the average one bedroom apartment in this city is fucking $1900/month?
>Do workers no longer care?
Why, exactly, should they?
Has the company shown a particular level of loyalty towards its employees over the last decade or two?
Vaxxed sponge brain.
Sure, a good chunk simply stopped giving a fuck, but vaxxed are literally slowly going mad-cow disease.
Crypto, crime,maybe both
Two options for most of those:
>pay someone else more to do a better job
>deal with it
It would be easier for all parties if most companies weren't social parasites who show less loyalty to their employees than the mob shows towards its lowest member.
This Zoomer talking point is so fucking stupid and old. No corporation ever cared about its employees. However, unless you want to be at the bottom of the shit heap, you have to play the game enough to the point you are not only no longer eating shit but to get to the point in your career you forgot what it tastes like. Being a “dasher” might be ok when you’re 22 but not when you’re 42 unless you want an absolutely horrible life.
People really just don't care anymore. Another contributing factor is that companies in general simply don't give a shit about customer service anymore either. So workers know that it doesn't matter if they fuck up something for the customer, because the days of a worker getting fired because of customer complaints are long gone. And why did companies stop caring about customer service? Because they realized it doesn't matter because most people (not all, but most) will continue doing business with a company, even after having multiple negative experiences with them. So if the customer is going to still give you their business no matter how you treat them, then there's no sense in putting the time, effort and money into creating a good customer service experience.
Bare minimum is a two-way street, if you want me to go above it, you too must go above it.
And again, this isn't just about pay rate.
Born at the wrong time. I think back to my great grandfather who was alive when I was still young. He used to take me to his garage/woodshop where he kept an immaculate setup to carve and make various things. He took so much pride in not just the product but how he kept his garage and tools organized. He died at 99 and my biggest regret was not being old enough to appreciate him, his experience, and just ask him more questions than I did.
That’s bullshit, too. Go to a fucking restaurant and you’ll get some bored, hostile Zoomer who ignores you, rolls their eyes, and fucks off nonstop to avoid any semblance of work. Even then they expect a 20% minimum tip just for simple existing. Fuck them
More jobs for me, ranjeesh and Ahmed
It’s almost like companies are hiring retarded assholes on purpose so they can get qualified labor from abroad for pennies on the dollar. This is why I hate the antiwork freaks
>No corporation ever cared about its employees.
They sure used to act like it though. Pensions, internal promotion, raises that beat inflation; loyalty used to be really prized and just sticking around long enough got you commendations. In the 50s you might have the boss over for dinner just to be sociable. Can you imagine doing that now?
The modern cutthroat atmosphere got started in the 80s when mass layoffs were introduced as a tactic for cutting costs if profits dipped or other problems occurred. The management would just nonchalantly put massive numbers of employees out on the street, pitting employees against each other for a chance to stay employed and leaving everyone with a general sense of paranoia. People want to feel like their leadership has their back, and nobody can feel like that if mass layoffs are always possible. The trust broken in those instances is broken forever. Combine that with the modern tendency to be stingy on raises, necessitating that company changes be frequent to increase earnings, and how can anyone expect any employee anywhere to have any attachment to their job?
We've all become the perfect atomized economic units the system always wanted us to be. We have few/no emotional attachments to other employees, bosses, companies or our work, it's just what you use to put survival tokens in your pocket. The system has relied on people having these sorts of emotional commitments to get good work out of us, and it has made huge profits by leveraging this emotional commitment without any plan to protect or replenish it. The economy is burning good will that is not coming back once it's gone.
The wheels are falling off. It’s hard to say whether it’s people suffering from extreme brain rot, because I’ve been seeing all sorts of crazy shit on the road. Like cars driving directly into medians, cars driving directly into wooden signs at full speed and never touching the brakes, etc…
Or if they’re all realizing they’re literally stuck in a hamster wheel and they’ll never own anything or have a family.
this. I've been in companies where you're encouraged to drag problems out so you make more money off multiple contacts. shit's fucked. They simply don't care if it inconveniences anybody because that doesn't directly affect the worker anymore, that's your problem now and they don't have to think about it anymore until you come trudging back to them.
Who cares as long as the hours get put in and no one complains. This is the future you chose.
Well zoomers don’t want to work cause they are either
1. A white male who was pushed away from society cause he’s not 6’4+ and attractive, and seeing as women don’t like him he doesn’t want to to contribute at all and wouldn’t rather leech off society or his parents.
2. Been working for awhile and realized that no matter how hard you work it never pays off.
They think cause of white declining birth rates they can just import Indians and pay them less and it will be problem solved.
Wrong. I live in a 20% white city and I work with 80% Indians. There is a reason these immigrants countries are so shit, it’s cause they’re all lazy useless retarded fucks.
Maybe 1-2/50 Indians can actually do the job and do it well, the other 48 just fuck everything up for those 2.
It’s funny cause this corporation only has boomers employed and they’re all over 50. It’s gonna be a real joke when all the old white guys retire, and they realize that they’re gonna start gouging money from hiring Indians until they are broke.
I give this country a solid 10-15 years before total collapse, with shitskins or not. Once all these boomers retire/die. It’s over.
You can’t have a retarded horse and expect it to perform as good as a mighty stallion.
I’m just waiting for it to all collapse.
I'm a scientist, I do various contract shit for various medical companies
My company basically went all the way up to firing me over the vax, but I didn't blink, so I'm still employed and they backed down.
Most of the oldest talent is either retiring or burnt out
Most of the really useful people have left
I'm burnt out, and so are all of the coworkers I care about
I literally ask my boss at the beginning of the week, "Who is complaining the most" so I know which projects to chip away at.
But even then, such a deluge of work is coming in that we would have to hire 3X the amount of employees to actually fulfill an SOW/proposal within the stated time. But now, it's just a treadmill of late work that accumulates until I end up just throwing shit on my desk away and claiming that HR had it the last time I saw it. No one checks. Because they're all burnt out and overloaded too.
I think people are actually past burnout. They're in Post-Burnout, as I call it. The way I see it, you can be burnt out for about six months. If, in six months, you don't catch a good break, change conditions, or just generally decompress, I think you go into a semi-permanent state of "fire me if you want, I don't give a fuck."
I spent TWO FUCKING YEARS getting yelled at for mindless drones at the grocery store for not wearing ze mask. I spent TWO FUCKING YEARS fighting my company over injecting le pharma science in my body. I spent TWO FUCKING YEARS watching the government lie to my face about EVERYTHING, watching BlackRock buy distressed assets that might have been affordable if they weren't squeezing the market. I spent TWO FUCKING YEARS getting personally attacked and eventually totally disowned by friends and family because I was a walking CBRN hazard because I didn't inject the science gay juice.
You think I give a shit about the "Quality of my Work?" Get fucked. I'm literally working for fun, because this country won't exist in ten years so why bother.
That is why my new tactic is to call and complain, demand my money back, and threaten chargebacks which not only cost the merchant money but too many of them can result in the loss of credit card processing for that card. If they’re going to make my life difficult, I will do the same.
i'm 6'0 on the dot and girls still say I'm too short even though I tower over them. But some of my 5'6-5'10 friends get lots and lots of pussy. I think me being in the middle of very tall and average has fucked me.
it's because boomers are senile and out of touch but still hanging on to senior positions at many companies, leaving them without real leadership, and the effect of having millennials in middle management, literally the worst place for their generational skillset.
everything is falling apart and will continue to. you are on a sinking ship - act accordingly before the mob figures it out a couple of years from now.
>Seriously, does no one give a shit about their job anymore?
Why would they? The country is fallen and there's no future so enjoy now while it lasts.
All true. Companies could start by getting rid of mask/vaccine bullshit.
IQ is definitely dropping, or at least people are less aware, their memory is tanking down to short-term only, attention spans are gone. It's smart phones, it's like their minds are in fucking wheelchairs.
People not taking pride in their work is also trash. I know, people need money. But with inflation getting going, people are going to be 7% more depressed every year, because nothing else matters to them.
In my personal experience, I am doing the same amount of volume as before covid with about half the staff. That is just how it is now. I don't know where everyone went or how they are surviving without a job to be honest.
I’m 5’11 myself and I don’t have any luck either bro. I’ve gotten to the point where the hereditary psychopathy is really starting to show and everytime I look at someone I imagine hanging them upside down and disembowelling them into a bucket.
I hate women, I’ll smile at them and talk to them like we are just friends when in reality all I’m thinking about is choking them to death.
To be honest bro, I have 0 clue what they want anymore, I use to think it was britfaults law, or height or looks but I have no clue anymore.
I genuinely don’t give a fuck about anyone or myself anymore.
I’m starting to think prison would be a nice break from this cycle of death I have myself doing 5 days a week.
Maybe you boomers shouldn't have destroyed society. People cared when society was still white.
>surviving without a job to be honest.
God took care of the righteous
Im 33. My dad and i operate an auto repair shop in a small (~100k population) city. We are one of the only shops out of about 5 indys and 10 or so dealerships than can actually fix anything. They can usually handle small shit, but more often than not i get hard to find shift interlock and no start issues etc to my shop. Not just from my city. Sometimes from out of state, from all around.
We stay booked up weeks at a time. I have projects we havent touched in years because the owners arent in a hurry and the cars are a pain in the ass to repair. Its just dad and me. We cant get/afford to hire anyone, and the pool of people to choose from who actually want to fix cars is no n existent.
Getting parts is becoming next to impossible and super expensive. I see new parts delivery drivers weekly because the turn over rate is so high. I had to end a 7 year long relationship with advance because after their commercial parts rep retired it started taking me 5 or 6 hours to get anything fron literally about 3 miles away. Fucking ridiculous. And they were mad at me for not buying their Uighur slave made parts that they rarely had in stock anyway.
Our society is fucking crumbling.
I was doing the work of 3 guys, in manual labour, 6 days a week cause of this. And my boss still treats me like utter shit. I’m just so tired man. So fucking tired. I can’t lie I’ve thought about suicide so much lately it’s unreal.
Smart post.
Bottom-barrel lowest-bidder hell is on the way, China is leading the world on this
>the effect of having millennials in middle management, literally the worst place for their generational skillset.
Millennials belong in a distributed work environment. WFH is actually the perfect place for them, because millennials in general are either oversocialized and mentally ill or so totally filled with woe and ennui that they're reclusive
the former does not belong in a position of influence/power/management because they become filthy fucking tyrants that contaminate an entire workplace with nonproductive bullshit like stand-up SCRUM Lean Six Diversity Management Huddles
the latter does not belong in a position of management because they can't manage effectively by dealing with problem employees and delegating effectively. These people prefer to do everything themselves and end up in an early grave.
Millennials are the most independent generation because they've either been
>so totally mind-broken that they develop into sociopaths
>so consistently burned by boomer assholes and their fellow shitheads that they're unable to trust
They're more similar to Gen X than they are dissimilar. The fucking boomers are all responsible for this shit, though, because they made it an acceptable thing for professions that should under any other circumstances be totally independent, to be tortured by HR psychopaths daily because "someone might complain." The boomers adopted the practice of being litigious, because their God is the jews.
No white men, no white society.
You’d figure the jews would learn from the whole Rhodesia experiment but clearly not.
I say let them collapse this shit, fuck it all.
Inflation is officially 7.5%, but I suspect it's going much higher. No one except super in demand professions got a raise adjusted for that. That ruins everyone's incentives for giving a fuck and being optimistic about the future.
i think a big factor is brain damage in many people working these jobs. The cognitive effect of going along with the past six years of propaganda is real and creatives mental deficiencies that will manifest in things like work discipline. The same thing happened in Eastern Bloc and USSR. Women turned into whores, men forgot how to do anything. It has taken Russia decades to right the ship.
