Report: 95% Of Grandfathers Got Job By Walking Right Up And Just Asking

Fun story my history teacher told us: his grandfather during the industrial revolution walked past a flyer which said “looking for smart strong boys” so he went into the factory, said “i’m strong and smart”, and he had that job from age 13 to 78

and this is why they expect the younger generation to simply “get a job” ahh it’s so much clearer now

#basically everyone aged Baby Boomer and up #still can’t wrap their heads around the fact that there’s no such thing as ‘just walking in’ anymore #like the majority of jobs you’d actually want require online applications and you’re lucky to get a rejection email (via halffizzbin)

Here’s another fun story: My boss decided to slap my work phone number on all the ads we post looking for newspaper carriers. So I receive a bunch of calls from people looking for jobs. Working only part time, I’m not usually there when they call, so they have to leave a message and I take their info to pass on to my boss. Sometimes it can be weeks before my boss calls any of these applicants back, if at all. How the callers respond to not getting a callback varies. Most don’t do anything, but some call again. If the person sounds young, they may leave another message clarifying their qualifications and reaffirming their interest. If the person is old, and I can always hear it in their voice, they respond by getting mad, threatening to cancel their newspaper subscription, and occasionally swearing. The older generation is used to getting a callback, and an immediate one, so they throw a tantrum when they don’t get what they want.

And everyone calls Millennials entitled.

Mind. Blown.

This is great info, but the way the headline is phrased made it sound like they got the job of being a grandfather by walking right up and just asking

Older generations also started out in the shittiest of shit positions, but quickly moved up if they proved themselves and worked HARD.

So when a boomer or older sees a “whiny millennial crying about how they want $15/hour for flipping burgers” it’s because they think it’s still that easy to get recognized for doing a great job, so it must be the millennial’s fault for not trying hard enough to get noticed and move up the ladder.

Older generations don’t realize employers now don’t give a shit about the people working for them, don’t recognize when someone is a valued employee, don’t move them up in the company, and don’t increase pay based on work performance.

Employers now are too focused on keeping the hours per employee down so they don’t have to give them insurance and forcing them to work as hard as possible while also paying them next to nothing.

This is NOT how it used to be, and once a boomer or older really realizes this, they get super pissed at what has happened to the workplace these days. I’ve seen it happen with my parents and grandparents. My uncle didn’t realize it until he got a job at Walmart that lasted for two months because he couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t move up the ladder.

My grandfather was a really good businessman back in the day, and when I laid it all out for him, he was livid and said “that’s NOT how you get good employees. You get good employees by treating them like a human being, paying them what they’re worth, and pushing them to do better by following through on promises you’ve made to reward them for that good behavior and showing that you’re worthy of their respect and hard work by working hard yourself.”

The more the media and capitalism corrupts everyone, the more we take sides, the less we empathize with each other. It’s not as much a baby boomer problem as it is a corruption problem and lies being shoved down everyone’s throats, separating everyone to the point where they hate each other.
