    My god y’all are entitled little bitches.

    “They’re hiring people with life and professional experience vs. ME! I got a piece of paper and the world owes me all the things!”

    Yes, generally speaking, GenZ has it worst of all. They got it worse than the Boomers, GenX (me) and the Millennials. No doubt.

    But maybe the constant whining and bitching has something to do with being a pain in the ass to employ?

    My small employer is wildly liberal (and successful!), not good enough for GenZ. Not HR, but I onboard all the new people and I can tell who will last and who won’t given their age.

        A genx with a hip replacement will still be a genx, but with now less hip pains. Do you think… Hips somehow… Relate to age?

        Is this a “count the rings thing” taught to genz now? Is Shakira some sort of prophet for you guys, because of “hips don’t lie”?
