Untrue. Younger workers are afraid older workers will take their jobs and refuse to hire them. Younger workers grew up with little exposure to people outside their age cohort. So, they can’t see der workers as anything but their parents or parents’ friends instead of seeing them as colleagues. I’ve seen this dynamic become more and more prevalent over time. They are angry if a person in their 60s/70s who still needs to work. This week I saw that play out on LinkedIn. It was awful. This 70yo shared his experience finding job at visage after a layoff. He gave people encouragement — and they took him down like a pack of wolves. It was awful.[/quote]
This. These Gen Zers can be a ruthless, selfish, mean angry bunch. They have spent too much of their lives on screens and too little interacting with other human beings. It doesn’t bode well for the future. [/quote]
