Retail does attract the worst people, as its the most blatant type of job in sight for people who don't have any unique skills. Shits sad man.

There probably have been similiar demographics for decades of lazy young burnouts but it certainly has become worse it seems.

The thing is the exceptions to every generation make the world go round.  Just work hard and try to be honest and in another 10 years you will gain the right to complain about the younger generations, even though your contemporaries are the real problem.

Also get a man's job with some old timers.  That is the way things are meant to be.  Don't do bitch work like retail it will only drive you nuts.  I hate to be harsh like that but it's the way it is.

It makes sense to test how little effort you can put in and still get paid at a job like that. like, why exert more energy than you have to bra? :rasta: you can get a minimum wage job anywhere.

If you are a good worker with shipping and receiving experience you can do better than stocking shelves for shit money at Target.  They were paying $1.50 above minimum wage when I was there and while it was easy work, it wasn't a job I really gave a shit about keeping.  You can't expect to fine competent workers while paying shit money.  My suggestion to you would be to find something better if you consider yourself a good worker.  There are companies that actually value that, and Target isn't one of them.

Holidays are awesome, they always hire sexy temps you can bang in the stockroom, enjoy that shit

It's hard to find people that will work as hard as you do, assuming you're the one working hard.

It sucks because if you're the one willing to do whatever is asked of you, and do a good job of doing it, then people you work with will try to take advantage of that fact, and be lazy.

Happened at the last job I was at, I would keep on truckin with whatever I was doing, and always stayed busy, but when I caught wind of people taking advantage of my good work ethic, I left.

when I was working there, college girls would come work for extra money during holidays, they weren't really worth a shit work wise, but they sure were fun to have around

if your sexy time is off the clock, you doing it wrong!

actually it was on and off, God I loved that job, :lol:

Did they take credit for your work or just do less knowing you would pick up the slack? Should have gotten them fired but I guess you probably did in the long run :lol:

i work in a place with temps and a lot of temps, and its a similar story.

Some of the younger generation are super lazy, and just wanna goof off most the time. Not all of them, but a signifigant amount.

But i would argue that most young people are just irresponsible and like to goof off, i think its more of an age thing than a generational shitty work ethic thing.

i definitely like the older crowd, they know how to get things done.

Im guessing the "spoiled generation" is catching up with them. I was pretty spoiled as a kid, but i came out with pretty good work ethic so maybe there is hope.

I think maturity comes with age and living by yourself vs living at home. Thats my view on it.

But i dont get too many teenagers thou. I am going to hold off judgement for a little bit untill i collect more evidence.

It was just poor management, the boss was cool as a fan, but wouldn't be there often, and it wasn't a lot of people, so people would tend to find the easiest thing to do, and just stick with that, rather than looking at the company as a whole, and thinking that they were done with one thing, so maybe they should see what else they could do to stay busy.

It was people just taking advantage of those that worked the hardest, you know normal human stuff as shitty as that is to say, add on top of that the fact that I hardly ever stopped to eat because I wasn't hungry because my mind was in working mode, just made it look like I was some workaholic who was probably on drugs, which was far from the truth, although I might be a bit of a workaholic.  If someone acts like they trust me, then I will do my best no matter if they're present or not, because what really shows your work ethic, is how well you work when the boss is not there.

Nothing wrong with taking a little bit of down time here and there, but if all you're doing is trying to hustle your other coworkers because you know how to, well then you're a piece of shit.

I didn't get fired though, I said fuck this.

I'm of the same generation, and I dont think it has anything to do with our generation being lazy, it has to do with the fact that they're young people working at retail job with little to no ambition. Theres gonna be hard workers and lazy people amongst every generation. I also think it has a lot to do with the where your from. I've got relatives down south and it seems like all of the young people in that area are lazy as fuck, at least more so than where I live further north. But maybe thats also a generalization?

I will say though, my work ethic in regards to my schooling is shit, I absolutely hate sitting in a lecture hall and find it very difficult to motivate myself when I'm given loads of homework. But, when it comes to working a legit job that I'm paid for, I take it very seriously. I like making cash, and I find it helps drive my work ethic. School feels like a long term investment that I'm constantly questioning

I'm a few years older than you and while we can't really be called kids anymore I am of the same generation. I'm on a small specialty team at an insurance company. I realized that the coworker they'd hired with me graduated HS with me. Cool right? Well this fucker had an insane production rate. Like 120 percent. He admitted to me that he lied on his time sheets and, when he moved off the team, I realized he'd done at least a quarter, if not half, of his work wrong. Guess who's fixing that now?

Yep. Me. Because, when they promoted said coworker, they replaced him with what I think is a coke head. He is eithe A. Playing on Facebook all day, or B. Falling asleep sitting up. And he takes 2 hour lunches (which we can do but you are still supposed to work 8 hours and he does not.) I had to repeat myself numerous times while training that kid. I think he's older than me btw, but he's still a kid. I've had to repeatedly drill in very simple things for him to stop asking me questions and expecting me to do his job. It took me forever to teach him how to use google maps and he still doesn't know east from west. I eventually got mad and basically told him to just go ahead and do it wrong.

If I stay long enough I will be fixing it I'm sure. I've been playing around on the shroomery for the last month because they loaded stupid amounts of work on me, because I work, and my boss treats me like I'm always doing something worng. And constantly forces me to work on days I have scheduled off.

The week before I started shroomerying at work they had me set up and fix system errors for new people while not allowing me to consult with our department consultant because a manager doesn't like him :facepalm:


It's all games and people don't even play by their own rules. I still work hard and do good work but holding onto integrity at a place like this is not worth losing my sanity.

Let me start by saying I'm only 22.

My generation is the biggest bunch of fucking lazy retards, I swear. I recently took a seasonal job at target to make a little extra cash and of course I'm working with mostly teenagers and early 20s. The team I'm on unloads the truck and puts shit on the shelves 4 times a week, easiest job I've ever had. In the past 2 weeks they've fired 7 people for not showing up on time and being lazy and slow as fuck in general. Like if you didn't want to work why did you take the job? Go back to mommys basement.

Ive heard people talk shit about my generation of course, but I've never really had to work with anyone my own age. Is it just that retail jobs attract all the idiots or has most of this generation really been brought up with no work ethic whatsoever? It worries me to think what the next generation will be like with this generation raising them.





those jobs are a revolving door homie...youre right it does attract all the fucktards.

They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.




It seems that many folk have taken the lifestyle modern technology provides us for granted but I think the influence of government corruption is taking a toll on our mindsets too.

I simply don't think there's a great deal of technological appreciation throughout our generations.

Many boomers seem lost in the 1950's and gen X is a hard working middle class under the oppression of a system that supports an Oligarchy.

If your coworkers are horrible workers you should be pissed at the shitty management for not doing anything about it.  That or you are working way above your pay grade in which case you should find another job.  You don't get paid extra for being a hard worker, and  your manager probably doesn't value your work ethic no matter how hard you try.  If you are working at a shitty job like Target the trick is to work the least amount possible without risking termination.  Take 45 minute bathroom breaks, break merchandise when you are bored, try to bang your coworkers, and pilfer as much shit as possible from the bathroom/break room.

My boss calls me kid and he's a couple years younger, doesn't really bother me.  First off he has been in the trade alot longer than me, knows alot more about out work, and also around here people tend to call their peers kid into a pretty advanced age.

I'm well into my 40s man, and I agree wholeheartedly.  Yes, young people tend to have less ambition, work ethic or drive as a rule.  I was there not to terribly long ago, us 70s kids were spoiled to the gills man.  I worked in food service, worked up to running restaurants in a nice vacation area, where I met my beautiful wife.  We had people pass out in the deep freeze and nearly die doing whip it's, cutting off fingers on meat sliders after a few to many drinks, and were constantly ripped out of our stupid gourds.  But in restaurants you gotta move, or you're out.  I'd like to think I took a lot from my experience as far as that is concerned.
I have two teens, they just moved out (hoooo fucking ray!) so I am well aware of our next generation between the work place and my own.  I must say the kids today are some lazy, entitled little shits!
I could not tell you how many times I changed the wifi pass over the past couple of years bc these kids could simply not make time to help around the house while mom n dad are out earning cash for bills.
I seriously blame technology.  It could be a good thing we will adapt to it, but for today's world it's tough for all of us to adjust.  I remember going to the store, renting the big ass VCR, then the movies and candy, it took some planning and time, now we watch movies on our hand held devices in HD lol.  I thought I was hot shit to have a pager back in the day.
I love my kids and all the young folks I work with and they know I'd do anything within reason for them.  But I promise you, on a weekend breakfast my 65 year old sous her, myself, a dishwasher and a bartender will out run a full staff of 8-10.
It's just true, and I can't blame young people.  I thought my generation was entitled..... shit.
Cheerio

Probably not.
My daughters pal had her mom arrested and lost her job of over ten years because this young lady, at 16 years old decided she did not want to do dishes after her mother worked all day, then cooked her a real meal.  She decided to throw a plate at her mom, her mom slapped her punk ass, daughter filed charges.  A mutual friend is a lawyer and took the case.  Because when asked if she slapped the child the mother gave a resounding "Yes, she threw a glass plate at my head" to the officer the lawyer could do nothing.
This is cultural, weaker and weaker family ties and little respect for anything, say nothing of elders.
The mom now works for a shit wage and lost her home because of an entitled brat.  I hear it all the time from younger people "I'll call the cops"
If I would have said that and called the police would have laughed.
Our world is going to hell in a hand basket and the only people who can save it care more about brad and Angelina than the human rights atrocities occurring world wide.
Sad story :frown:

I know he does quite well Prisoner, so I assume you incorrect. I also know he's a well educated man.
Judging only by your your name, however, you must know a few shit lawyers. 
I'm sure he would be devastated to learn that you have a low opinion of him.  Especially considering it being based on your second hand judgement from behind a keyboard. 
Lots of angry youth today, must be the stress of the election.

Let me start by saying I'm only 22.

My generation is the biggest bunch of fucking lazy retards, I swear. I recently took a seasonal job at target to make a little extra cash and of course I'm working with mostly teenagers and early 20s. The team I'm on unloads the truck and puts shit on the shelves 4 times a week, easiest job I've ever had. In the past 2 weeks they've fired 7 people for not showing up on time and being lazy and slow as fuck in general. Like if you didn't want to work why did you take the job? Go back to mommys basement.

Ive heard people talk shit about my generation of course, but I've never really had to work with anyone my own age. Is it just that retail jobs attract all the idiots or has most of this generation really been brought up with no work ethic whatsoever? It worries me to think what the next generation will be like with this generation raising them.




People pretty much treat retail jobs like garbage because they are the easiest jobs to get, and you can always get another one easily if you get fired.

Also if you have too much work experience or education managers will deny you for being overqualified, instead they prefer to hire teenagers so they can pay them $8 an hour or whatever.

I used to be pathetic,  til I grew up and learned all my lessons the the hard way, but at last I learned them at 20

Yeah this sums up it up pretty well. Also shitty parents relying on a shitty educational system.

We can';t fully blame parents as many people work full schedules and don't have the time to be super hands on. Clearly tons of parents are grossly incompetent though.

You don't know what you're talking about, usually kids from working class families have better work ethics. They know they don't have an infinite number of chances to fuck up and live without a paycheck. Struggle is what gives people the drive to become successful.

Think about it like a dog who is on a mission to find food. A dog who is hungry is going to be far more eager and work a lot harder to find a food source than a dog who is well-fed. The same is true of human nature. That's why police dogs are always kept half-hungry while they are working, they are never given a full meal.

I guarantee you a lot of those kids from OP's post who never showed up for their work shifts are from middle class or even upper-middle class suburban families.

Isn't about working class

Its about *trash* class


The kinds of people who are pregnant at 16 with a  dude who she dislikes or fights with nonstop

If you ever lived in the ghetto you would see the pandemic I'm talking about

Also there is plenty of variants that could contribute to a sorry ass 18yo

Oh okay, I guess when you said "Who reproduce when they can't comfortably raise a child financially," I assumed you were also including pretty much everybody who is working class, blue collar, or making below $40,000 a year. Because the truth is all these families are struggling to raise children financially.

And in fact, I'd even venture to say that somebody raising a child on $27,000 is probably struggling a lot more than a hoodrat who is only making $8,000 a year. Because at least the latter person gets free medical insurance and EBT and all this assistance, they also don't get taxed on income at all. Whereas the person making $27,000 ends up with maybe $1500 a month after taxes, just barely makes above the minimum to apply for these programs and is struggling a hell of a lot to raise kids.

Also get a man's job with some old timers.  That is the way things are meant to be.  Don't do bitch work like retail it will only drive you nuts.  I hate to be harsh like that but it's the way it is.




I did that all summer. In Montana. House Remodling, land surveying, the list goes on and on. I learned a lot and am qualified enough that I didn't work for under 15.

That being said they drove me nuts. They're fucking old assholes. I work hard as it's something that I truly enjoy. Being useful. I don't know how to do this but show me once and I'll get the jist and replicate.

I couldn't stand them. What are you fucking stupid?!? You got some nuts between your legs?!? I have tons of hilarious catch phrases from older Montana dudes.

Well fuck I've never done this before care to show me what the fuck your talking about. OK now I see what you mean.

One of my best friends is who I lived with. It has been a running joke as his dad told him when he went off to college. "you have been nothing but a disappointment"

He's an excellent carpenter, state champ wrestler, all around great guy. One da his dad did compliment his landscaping skills. I stopped wow. I think that's the closest your father will ever get to saying I love you.

"I know"

For some reason I get along real well with bitter old men.  I don't think it has anything to do with being qualified it's more just showing up and not being a baby.  I see how bad other people get it, so maybe my advice isn't that good for everyone.  I guess the bitterness is rubbing off on me.  Just try to find a job that doesn't make you miserable.

Ya exactly. As do I. I work hard. I built trusses for a month as I did the dudes yard and that shit was amazing. And it was a shit show when he offered me the work. Landscaping is something I do enjoy.

I was very proud of it. So hired me on at the truss plant. Got bored of that. Did some landscaping for another older guy surveyed for a month. Just picking up skills. Montana has work for anybody that's willing to do it. I had to turn down work just to have a day off. Fuck I'm tired. Than I started spray painting. We did a semi that has been making the rounds. Awesome I definitely enjoy this.



Just got back to Washington. First step find work. Next step I have a garage set up a paint studio. He made 15 grand doing that. Took us 5 days. I made pretty good money as well. I got to be apart of it. There's an awesome time lapse video I'd look up if your interested. As the other side is completely different.

Most are cool,  but occasionally you see the one who has a 300pd women who bitches nonstop and he's too old n beta to care or leave her

But besides jaded old dudes



Most old dudes are hella cool

You don't know what you're talking about, usually kids from working class families have better work ethics. They know they don't have an infinite number of chances to fuck up and live without a paycheck. Struggle is what gives people the drive to become successful.

Think about it like a dog who is on a mission to find food. A dog who is hungry is going to be far more eager and work a lot harder to find a food source than a dog who is well-fed. The same is true of human nature. That's why police dogs are always kept half-hungry while they are working, they are never given a full meal.

I guarantee you a lot of those kids from OP's post who never showed up for their work shifts are from middle class or even upper-middle class suburban families.




That's one thing I can pride myself on. I grew up poor. Doesn't really matter what I do I want to be the best. I work hard for what little I have. It's one thing my parents did teach me was a hard days work for an honest days pay.

In Alaska it wasn't the poor kids that would steal. It was the rich kids. They have no concept of a dollar. Or earning anything for themselves.

I constantly turn in valuable things that people misplace at work or in general. Way nicer than my shit but it isn't mine. I didn't earn this. So I don't want it. Someday.

My job brings new employees in through temp agencies. Most of these people are young guys. We would go through dozens without finding 1 with any work ethic at all. Most of these people are coming out of work release and just sign up to because they have to.

  In my experience, retail, fast food, and companies who use temp agencies, have the most worthless workforce in the country.

Most of the old people at my job arent lazy... Just dull. They don't know how to, or even think to, do anything more than they normally do.

There's a few that work really hard and can do almost anything in their line but they are stern and can come off rude. But with the people who work here I don't blame them. I'm becoming alot like them tbh. If you're stupid I'm not going to put alot of effort into you. If you're lazy I'm not going to put alot of work into you. The bright kids here either find work outside work to do, to make the shitty department better, and wisely move out when they can.

Management enables this shit. There's only so many times you can try to improve production and work and told to stop and focus on the same work in a faulty stream that hires more workers than we need (significantly more) bc theres 5 people per 20 that actually do more than repetitive motions and care about the quality of their work and care aboout doing more than scraping by.


I'm one of these young folk that plans to move on soon. Office politics being more important than actual work is stupid and I won't abide by it.
