[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in the trades and I see this with our gen z’ers. They show up late, don’t want to work hard, spend too much time on their phones, etc., but that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that they can’t even do simple math and reading. WHY would you work here if you can’t even do arithmetic!!?[/quote] I have family in trades and this was also an issue with Millenials (eg, math skills). They couldn’t handle fractions. Neighbor in finance complained of the same thing 20 years ago. The problem is worse now[/quote] Which is also why manufacturing will not be returning to the US. The workforce is incompetent.[/quote] This is not true. Millennials are the most educated generation in history. The idea that they lack math skills as an entire generation is laughable. American workers are perfectly capable. It is simply cheaper to hire foreigners, and they are more easily exploited. [/quote] Dude, we’re all talking about zoomers and gen z. [/quote] No. I stand by my statement that the issue has been ongoing before Gen Z. Talked to my plumber about this the other day. Millenials may have more degrees but they aren’t necessarily smarter and definitely not as adept at so-called simple jobs like the trades. Sorry.[/quote]
