Bosses are firing Gen Z workers months after hiring them

So college keeps getting more and more expensive while the product they're supposed to be providing is getting worse and worse. This has to crumble eventually right?

Three-quarters of the companies surveyed said some or all of their recent graduate hires were unsatisfactory in some way.

Gen Z grads “unprepared and unprofessional”

So, where is it going wrong for fresh-faced graduates?

Employers’ gripe with young people today is their lack of motivation or initiative—50% of the leaders surveyed cited that as the reason why things didn’t work out with their new hire.

Bosses also pointed to Gen Z being unprofessional, unorganized and having poor communication skills as their top reasons for having to sack grads.

I see it almost every shift. Parents don't know how to be parents, then call us to come correct the behavior, or because they want us to lecture the kids, or they don't know what to do, etc. And on the rare occasion that the parents are strict, the kids call 911 because "their rights are being violated"

Teachers get the impact also. Too many "parents" never say "no" and then go after teachers if they tell them their child is not as great as they think they are and try to tell people they (the teachers) are the problems. A lot of good young teachers are leaving the profession.

Yep. Teachers need to be allowed to discipline their students. My elementary principal had the paddle with holes on it hanging behind his desk. The rumors about it were enough, but on the rare occasion it has to be taken down off of the wall, it's legend made it's way through the school before the end of the day.

In my junior high we had a shop teacher with a similar paddle, but of course the class full of guys everyone took it as a badge of honor to get the board at least once and trust me after that one time you never wanted it again.
