Wow. My mind is blown.
Okay, so we have a new generation of people, aka Millennials, that ate useless. Generally, everyone here agrees. The ideas stated about this undoubtedly lean to the upbringing of these indivuals. I see complaints about can't punish them… those are the results of laws/ordinances passed, which I am pretty sure didn't happen by the generation being degraded while still in their mother's womb.
Secondly, I see discussion about job loyalty, keeping promises, ethics/morals. I see it being, again, the generation is just poor. Okay, so let's take the simple guy going for a job, while he knows that applying for one at a time is a bad idea, he applies for many at once, categorized in his head in most to least wanted. For some strange reason, he probably already knows about job description, thanks to facebook, glassdoor, twitter, etc. So, when the calls come in, he's going to ask for the information pertinent to him to aid in that decision. Probably because he was taught and had it ingrained in him, "Go to school, get an education, so you don't have to live this hard life. Live a life of luxury and have your choice of jobs by going to school."
As far as no call backs after multiple job offers? Does anyone here who is in charge of hiring call back each and every job applicant who isn't a candidate? Absolutely not. But, everyone expects this new generation to at least treat the people handing out jobs as god's simply by offering a job that pays more than the person hiring could make at the applicants age. Nevermind that typically, wages for blue collars don't keep up with inflation. It used to be 25% (1 week)'s check would cover expenses. Now it's 75%. So then people wonder why. This young generation sees nothing more than people getting fired arbitrarily for whatever reason, most probable lack of education, but absolutely no one in the professional fields they work in offer mentorship that means anything… unless, of course, they're getting paid for it. When something dumb/stupid happens, this younger generation hears about how much money they cost the company and then they're told they're out of a job, surmising that money, not people is the most important thing. So, they'll change to be loyal to money.
Then, everyone complains about how weak, no work ethics, uneducated the "youngsters" are today, and we start into the next, "ya know, back in my day I had to walk 10 miles uphill both ways in 6 feet of snow barefoot, and you's think you gonna get off that easy?" I believe the answer to what is going on is the previous generation has made it all about themselves, then expects the impossible from the next, then blaming that younger generation for their own shortcomings.
