A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

A future-of-work expert said Gen Zers didn't have the "promise of stability" at work, so they're putting their personal lives and well-being first.

When you ask why kids don’t want to work these days...

It's simple - just don't ever ask:-). \s :-( 🥲

And yeah, the rate of suicide (including overdosing) is quite shocking. Or depending on who you ask I would guess, "excellent" (evil laughter while wringing hands). Factors like race or even class doesn't seem to matter to them (edit: okay so they do matter, but it still happens across all of them) - globalization and mechanization means fewer workers are necessary, hence what is not necessary is irrelevant, to The (Illuminati's) Machine, that cares only for survival of the fittest. :-|

Oh, and no - "keeping removed about shit" implies things like not actively voting to take away further rights & privileges. Roe v. Wade was just the start! Next are elections and democracy itself... I only wish I could add a /s here, but from the chatter... it's no longer just a joking matter anymore? :-( That generation isn't done yet it seems, implementing the will of whatever their chosen TV Man tells them to do:-(.

Like "You Must Bow Before the Will of God" - oh so you mean like care about people, taking care of widows & orphans, pay workers the wages they are due, always show kindness and compassion even to the undeserving, stuff like that? "No, I meant lower taxes on the top 0.0000001% - and also wipe my butt for me". Ooookkkkkkaaaaayyyyyy then....

On the bright side, Gen-Z has stuff figured out - they know how to be happier, simply by not giving a shit:-D. Yes they will suffer - as will we all - but less so, having broken free from that horrible mindset that blinded their predecessors? :-)
