It must have been nice to live in the time when all you had to do was show up to work and your job was virtually guaranteed for life.

imagine them even trying to get a job. no more handing a CV in person and a strong handshake to get a job

It is wild. Like these companies are making lots of money but because they didn't make the millions/billions they projected they are like "yea we made 5 billion, cost was 350 million. Since we did not make our projected income of 6 billion we are laying people off"

"What do you mean you don't offer a 401k plan, health and dental insurance, paid sick days, or 40 hours of PTO from day one!?"

During the Great Depression, there was 40% unemployment. Every generation has had a difficult time in one way or another. Envy is not a good look.

I been saying this for a while. If boomers had to start over in 2026 quite literally half of them would fail and be stuck in poverty. The data supports my claim heavily

Plus the 100+ emails I get everyday and all the technology tasks. They could never. You get bombarded all day long!

My favorite is when they are comparing profit from one year to the next in which both are profitable years but because the most recent is lower then the previous they “lost money.” Dude, a profit is a profit. You wouldn’t have a profit if you lost money for that year. Maybe stop spending “potential” money you don’t actually have because of your made up projections you didn’t actually hit.

It is interesting, I am a tradesman, where I work are four jobs left unfilled for several years, six figure jobs. two plumbing jobs, two electrical jobs. six figures in six months of work. It is in remote locations off of tge road systems. Very few applying for these jobs. The younger generation does not want to work

And the CEO still earned 8 figures in compensation on top of his salary

How about five rounds of interviews for a job that’s pays $1 above minimum wage???

And all that for a wage that BARELY covers basic bills.

My company did a $300mil rebrand 6 months ago to change the color of our logo and now they’re laying off staff members that have been there for 15+ years because of “economic hardship”

So my mom was laid off from her job that she had been at for 32 years, 3 years before she was due to retire. She tried finding work elsewhere for about.....4 months before she decided to simply retire early. She did so because finding a job was too difficult ....

Trust they could not hit every goal and it would be too technical

They always fire the little guy and never the people who decided the targets. Like you guys were wrong about what was possible, how isn’t this YOUR fault?

I retired two years ago. Are corporate jobs so much different now than 2024?

If you got laid off, it is either because you didn't do the job as well as others, or you pissed off your boss one to many times (which might be either one of you). I survived 6 layoffs in my professional career. nothing new under the sun

lol this younger generation is so screwed thinking we have had it easy...maybe because we never ditched about it and just did what had to be done to make it happen.
