I’m a high school teacher, and the “lack in technological skills” makes a lot of sense to me. So many of my students struggle to do basic tasks on a computer (e.g. copy/paste, how to make a folder, how to write an email). They grew up with phones and tablets, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that they are computer literate.

[nuvotion-live]

Young people being adept at technology is a misconception. They have been using increasingly abstracted software which is primarily designed for consumption and addiction.

Bosses: I can’t hire that older employee; they’re too expensive
Also bosses: Younger employees don’t know jack and result in high turnover

Bingo! My wife was offered a position as a professor of humanities at a local college and when she started doing the paperwork she was given a very large sheaf of papers about what to expect and at the very top of the first page in bold letters it said: BE PREPARED FOR WOEFULLY UNDERPREPARED STUDENTS COMING IN AT THE FRESHMAN LEVEL.
And here we are.

I’m dealing with a younger employee now who reports to me. Through no fault of their own, they came to our company with no experience out of college and their boss never trained them. Instead, he promoted them to the next level when they weren’t ready, then identified them as a “problem employee” for not performing at their level and tried to get them fired. They were transferred to me because I have a reputation at my company as a good mentor and I’ve found them willing to learn and teachable. I’ve spent most of the past year training them up to the level they’re expected to perform. I communicated to my supervisor that their previous manager failed to do their most important job properly and made clear how frustrated I am with that manager.

Young workers are too inexperienced to do a great job, and older workers are to experienced to work for cheap and/or be taken advantage of

During my son's years of primary and secondary education, we ensured he took basic typing, intro to computer, and accounting classes to prepare him for college. Trust me, he hated every step of being the only guy at times in these classes, at first. We even went as far as enrolling him into Job Clubs to help build his interviewing skills and self confidence. But, these simple and yet overlooked skill sets prepared him for a career in Computer Engineering. Parental involvement goes beyond attending PTA or participating in BOOSTERS.

As a Gen Z’r I got fired from Walmart and now I work in the oil fields as a basic laborer/spotter (meaning I train to operate heavy machinery) here I am encouraged to work as many hours as I want, I’m encouraged to work hard and prove myself. Meanwhile at Walmart I asked for more hours to be more comfortable with what I was making and I was yelled at by my boss who was a much older lady. I got punished for telling people information instead of lieing, and I was blamed for mistakes and written up when I was still learning the job.

[markboler]

I still hear that 'they are looking for workers who show initiative, who do more than just their job, and who are hard workers' but then in the corporate world today, the ones who hide and do as little as possible are the ones who are kept on after layoffs and the ones who are promoted. The good workers do not get noticed any more.

[jonathankay]

Management: older workers cost too much! Younger workers are entitled!

Also Management: nobody wants to work!!!!

[adampeters]

If the colleges are not preparing graduates to be ideal employees, why do the companies continue to require a college degree to get an entry level position?

[Historybluff]

What surprises me is that older folks talk about kids not having skills. But who raised those kids??? “Oh my kids are stupid I don’t know why”

[Whytheads]

70-80% of these problems I feel could be solved if companies didn't rely solely on college degrees to train. Companies seem to have forgotten that they need to actually invest in their employees, train them, and give them proper goals and compensation for them to be motivated.

I know a dude on Facebook that was complaining for months and months about not finding a job and then he finally found one and then just made complaints all the time about working. He got fired within three months.

[Czulu]

So "modern workplace" doesnt like old ppl above 40 yers old, and they dont like young ppl, so perhaps all these CEO's. managers etc should do the actuall work themselves in this case.

[MissCPix]

I know a GenZ who was hired at a job just 1 week before me (I’m an elder millennial) and she was let go in less than 6 months. She messed up a lot and we had to ask her to re-do things a lot. It got so bad that I would just do it myself. It would take her several hours to do something that takes 10-15 minutes. I found out on our work from home days she would be out running errands or getting her hair done when our roles don’t allow for that. She would come to work almost 30 minutes late, take extended lunches, and leave 30 minutes early. Every time I went to her desk she had her phone in her hand. Me and another young lady tried to warn her several times that management was complaining about her lax approach and she just wasn’t getting it. She even thought she was eligible for the max bonus amount next year. She was a nice girl but she was delusional about her work ethic.

I teach in a public school. Schools no longer hold students accountable for attendance, assignment completion, or their behavior. This translates to the workforce.

Right before college graduation, I can remember interviewing for a position in a Texas Instruments factory that built air to surface missiles. One of the interviewers asked me if I would be able to repair one of their test fixtures in their board shop. I told them that 95% of the soon-to-be graduates that you interview today will not be able to repair any equipment without special training. Since I already had accepted a job offer from a better company, I told them the truth but they were not happy. Many hiring companies are completely delusional.

[pearlrichardson]

I personally don't feel bad for the companies. If they hired the experienced people that have been out of work for a long time time & keep ghosting us, have age bias & other bias won't give us the time of day that's on them. You get what you hire.

[TheInfinitlyProlonged]

Expecting 3-5 years of experience for an entry level position and providing no training for said position whatsoever is delusional. End of story.
