Many Gen Z workers aren’t prepared for the workplace, employers say

Gen Z employees have some work ahead to earn the trust of their bosses.

A recent survey by Intelligent.com found that about one in six companies are hesitant to hire recent college graduates, citing concerns over their preparedness, communication skills, and professionalism.

A stunning six in 10 said they had fired college grads they hired in 2024.

  1. yeah. and dear old dad used to drag me out to work with him every summer after I turned 10 or 11. seems like a blur now. anyway. when other kids went to the shore or the mountains for summer vacation, I went to work. with a concrete crew that my dad ran. after a few summers,
    I liked it really. made money and got in shape. better than any gym rat did that for sure.
    didn't realize it until I went into the army. then I found out what dad did for me.
    never fired from a job and was always welcomed back. todays kids, not all of them. but a lot are just lazy. they never had to work for anything and it shows.

    1. And they know they live in Rome shortly before the collapse and sack. So they're uninterested in propping up the decadent and corrupt system they were born into, and will never benefit from.
      The best part of Gen Z being uninterested in being wage slaves is, it'll make the SSA insolvent and irrelevant even faster. I've paid into that Ponzi scheme for 26 years, and will never benefit from it. Fuck that, and good on the kids for refusing to cooperate. Start homesteads, fuck the corpos and banks, and have a dozen kids. Christus Rex!

    2. Oh, horseshit. You're giving the self-entitled little snowflakes too much credit. They expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter, and you think they'll be able to homestead and fend for themselves?

    3. The girls literally have to fight to not be forced to shower with boys, and the boys have to fight to not be castrated and turned into fake girls. What silver platter? FFS.

  2. Well, were they fired because the new employee was incompetent or lazy, or was it that Bidenomics forced letting go workers and the newest employees were the unlucky ?

    1. Getting worse with the unrealistic min. wage. Why hire a teen or anyone still going to school?
      The unions and their D friends want high Min. wage to boost the union wages contractually obliged to be higher than minimum.

  4. Today I read that a new high school has opened in my area.
    It is a Mike Rowe Academy for students from age 14-20. Upon graduation, earn a HS diploma plus a certificate in one of several trades.
    Apparently now in 48 states and scholarships available.

  6. Hell I've read 80% of Gen-Z aren't fit both intellectually and physically to enter the military.

  7. Well, yeah.............most never had to really work hard in school from k thru HS, Mom and
    Dad ran interference for them when they screwed up, college was even worse, professors afraid to grade realistically, 'safe spaces' for when their tender little feelings got hurt, no preparation for the 5-6 day a week 8-5 grind, entitled, whiney and totally unmotivated.

  8. My son was an early Gen Z. He got participation trophy's, baseball games where they didn't keep score where you couldn't strike out, and was not taught cursive. The wife taught him cursive. He gave up on team sports and started wrestling where they won state 3 of his 4 high school years. He would rather pick up a fishing pole than a game controller. He got a job as restaurant manager when he graduated college. It required 55-60 hours a week and he made 6 figures his first year.

    It is how you raise them.

  9. When all of your days are consumed with gender studies, how to be inclusive, and sleeping in a tent for Palestine, there's not much time left to prepare for reality. But fear not, one of the first batch of participation trophy kids is more likely than ever to be your boss.

  10. Around here if you're Gen Z you're likely to get contract-based employment, i.e. you bill hours and the company pays you like a contractor. This is more expensive for the company, but then they can just not renew the contract of some and offer the others full-time employment. Youngest kid is typical Gen Z and currently on this model, but she's good, this will change.
