Gen Z seems to be refusing to swallow the bullshit the rest of us grew up having fed to us. A shame I’ll be close to aging out by the time they get much political power.
The Bullshit from decades ago was easier to swallow because at least people had a chance to make money and have a decent job while also paying a bit less for things like food, shelter or some luxuries.
Now people have no choice … they get paid less, they have no security and they have to pay more for food and shelter.
People were always aware of the bullshit … in the past we could put up with it because we could afford it … now people can’t.
Cost benefit analysis. I’m Gen-X and we had to deal with both Silent Gen “company loyalty” and Boomer toxic bullshit, but that was fine because we got a lot out of it and we were able tondo our own shit. In other words, a positive cost benefit analysis. Greed tilted that until it is now not worth it. Its funny how some people love capitalism until the system demands that they adjust. Sorry corpos, if you want a resource, you have to pay fair market value.
Brittany is a narcissist who got fired because she makes everything about Brittany… she didn’t even allow the HR guy to finish a sentence before she had to actually interrupt him and start explaining why they were wrong… you got fired because you don’t listen, Brittany baby…
Here’s your breakfast
uh huh, bunch of rebel memers
Whoa whoa whoa you cant just let boss say that to you. Not with dirty shoes! Get those shoes cleaned up first before you talk again and make sure to say thank you
That’s cool n all, but this chick is now blacklisted from every company with an HR staff bigger than 1 over worked offshore person.
We can all applaud trying to stick it to the man, but this is going to show up on every background report for the rest of her life.
I think the point is for you to meditate on that fact.
I did, for all of a couple seconds, then I remembered what’s on the background checks for some of the employees I’ve seen.
Cloudflare is a shit company with a shit reputation. A new employee getting shat on in real time is not something to end your career with.
Bro he’s saying that you’re supposed to realize how fucked up it is (and ideally be revolted) that corporations - who don’t give a shit about you or anyone else - team up to prevent bright young adults from having a career and affording to live as payback for exposing their inhumanity/making them look foolish.
Instead you’re over here like “yeah I lick corporate boot and will gladly accept being stepped on if I get to keep my career.” This girl is a hero for standing up to the likes of cloudflare and we should all aspire to have her courage.
Keep aspiring…meanwhile India is chomping at the bit to get this job, they’ll do it for pennies on the dollar, and depending on the worker, they’ll be fucking good at it.
What’s Cloudflare’s shit reputation? I thought they were the go-to service to prevent DDOSing.
I won’t work for a company that scores less than 4. (Depending on the size, but that’s generally the shit hole threshold)

I’ve also been concerned about negative outcomes for people based on the videos I’ve heard about and the one I saw posted before, but that’s what makes them so brave. The more they do it and the more such videos are normalized, the less harsh companies can be in retaliation.
Management being assholes is not as much a generational thing (at least, not as much as it seems) as the nature of what corporations expect of managers. The few amazing managers who somehow remain human while doing their job, who are good mentors, etc., are outliers.
I just don’t get what the end game is for this. Let’s say all of gen Z quits tomorrow over this. All of tech will simply move to Brazil, Eastern Europe, and India.
Since there’s really no social safety net, and we don’t give a fuck about the homeless…they do what exactly?
For example…the fortune 50 I worked at for a while has enough money to stop selling all their products and still be solvent for about a century at their current spend.
If they faced a general strike, they can hold out for generations. How long can the average American hold out for?
This general audience of this site feels like 15-25…they don’t realize the kind of power the big players have.
This is a step towards humanizing workers, legitimizing their concerns, and building solidarity so people are closer to being on the same page and might maybe agree that something needs to be done. Probably not from this cultural moment, but if enough of them like this happen in succession and get enough attention, then something could change. If you want to discuss parallel economies and mutual aid networks, that’s a whole other discussion.
You can’t make a stand and ignore the realities of the world around you. Competition for work is a very valid concern if you’re about to strike.
Love to see class consciousness rising above artificial generational conflict
“we can often tell within three months or less of a sales hire, even during the holidays, whether they’re going to be successful or not”
Did not cancel their Christmas vacation, fire them immediately.
