What is wrong with this Generation?

Why Millennials Won't Work: The Shift in Work Culture
In this thought-provoking video, we dive deep into the reasons why millennials are often seen as reluctant to engage in traditional work. Join us as we explore the impact of rapid technological advancements that have reshaped the job landscape, making it easier to earn a living from the comfort of home.
We'll discuss how the rise of digital platforms, gig economy jobs, and remote work options have created alternatives to the 9-to-5 grind, leading many young people to prioritize flexibility and work-life balance over conventional employment. Are millennials simply lazy, or are they adapting to a world that offers them choices previous generations could only dream of?
We'll also touch on the growing aversion to physical labor, as technology provides solutions that reduce the need for strenuous work. Is this shift a sign of entitlement, or is it a natural evolution in our pursuit of a better quality of life?
Join us for an engaging conversation as we unpack these trends and challenge the stereotypes surrounding the millennial workforce. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments!

We had the technology to work from home since the 90s but companies refused to change their culture around work.

[@ChrisAddis]

I can see both sides of the argument. On the one hand there's a work force that's more productive I some respects being in the workplace, on the other hand you people being more happy (possibly more productive as a result) working from home. A balance of the two is definitely has advantages, its whether businesses are prepared to compromise.

Yeah, guess who will do those jobs. There is unlimited supply of foreigners and they're much cheaper too. Again, guess who is getting hired. Oh, and they get free housing and money too, something natives don't get it. Also, I know personally companies and gov had quota's to hire people, based on DEI agenda, not because of skill. Incompetent women were hired over skilled native males. People can see through the bullshit. If you can work online without a fixed location, I'd leave Europe and live in south east asia or south america. Let those boomers and the anti-human regime feel what it's like to have the 3rd world imported in their backyards with rising crimes and a degenerate society, see how long it will last. They literally created the society in their own image, has to be demons, those are not humanitarian values, at all.

[@2KXMKR]

We're talking about "youngsters" here but really talking about late teens fresh out of high school and joining the work force. The reality is, that's too late. The damage was already done years before they left school. This generation are raised with phones in hand and spend 16 hours a day staring into a fantasy world on a computer screen. We didn't have that growing up - and by we, I'm 37. We came home from school, watched Pokémon for twenty minutes then went out on our bikes. Weekends and holidays we were left to it - on the bike, get on the train, go on some mad adventure. Then we left school, got a little shitty job in a supermarket and bought a little banger runaround and spent our late teens and early twenties hanging around Wickes carpark tearing the arses off our 1-litre Corsa's. We went on a 100 mile cruise every single Friday night, got a mackies, then kicked a ball about. What's sad is we were the last generation to do this - completely unaware at the time. We had freedom and we had fun. It was a bloody good work-life balance for us. We went to work to be able to afford to keep those little shitboxes running so we could go on our mad drives. Yes, we were chavs, but we had fun! This generation now - none of that. None! They come home from school, straight into their little fantasy worlds inside a computer screen. They never go out. No bikes. Certainly no cars because they can't afford them even if they are working. Most 25 years old can't even drive, they never bothered getting their license. That fact alone has completely shut them out of any potential career in driving ... I wonder why there's a HGV driver shortage, hmm... For us it was a right of passage - get your license the moment you hit 17. For them it isn't even considered. Everyone is always moaning at them about being work shy and lazy, but nobody ever considers that they're all sad, lonely and depressed. Most of them suffer suicidal thoughts because they simply don't see the point in life. Can we really blame them? They're trapped into shitty dead end minimum wage jobs in some shitty supermarket putting tins of beans on a shelf for eight hours a day or stuck in some windowless warehouse without daylight, can't afford anything despite putting the hours in, go home to some shitty little flat that they have to share with three others because nobody can afford the rent alone, get high to escape the monotony of their lives and spend their free time shooting aliens on some game and the highlight of their social life is talking to some other depressed suicidal lad on the other end of a pair of headphones. Maybe if we tried encouraging them and picking them up instead of constantly bullying them they might actually try doing something. Isn't that a crazy idea? On a side note, if we're talking about generations. As a veteran of retail I'll tell you one thing. I'd pick the 25 year olds over the 55 year olds any day. Over 50s? Horrible! Worst generation I've ever had to deal with. You want to talk about entitled? Ha! Rant over.

I've been into art since I was a kid. I tried to go the entrepreneur route when I was younger.

I was never going to be a welder or a truck driver, I've known I wanted to work for myself and create art since I was 14. The world thinks we need more truck drivers and engineers. For what?? To haul around more trash? To build more homes people can't afford? Build more crumbling commercial infrastructure that is being burglarized out of business? What we really need are teachers and baby sitters and leaders.

We need all of those things...the trucks deliver the food and goods necessary to sustain us, we need engineers to fix and maintain machinery necessary to keep us in a standard of living we've become accustomed to. My point is these roles are hard work and require sacrifice at some level...the youth of today will not take on these roles unless they are rightly rewarded for doing so, because they have options unavailable to previous generations.

Traditionally, business were started by bank loans and there was very few other ways of contacting others with the means to help fund you.....now you can get an online quote in seconds! Can I be honest? I don't think that I'd be able to start a business back in 1960 or beyond....technology has allowed me to reach an audience that has a problem that I can solve....we are communicating mile apart from each other, sharing ideas, discussing each of our views and personal situations....NONE of that existed before the information age. I've had this conversation with my mum, saying getting on the property ladder for her was a case of saving for 5-8 months....now I'd be lucky if I could achieve the same in 15 years... I'd rather be alive now than back then. Opportunities for self employed have never been better, but people are afraid to take the chance.

Love the video, very thoughtful. Generations, young and old, have to find a way to work together in some sense I believe. With an aging population and not enough kids to replace the elderly, there will be a big responsibility on the young to provide for the old. Though, what does society expect out of this if they can't even take care of themselves anymore though? As a single 30 year old from The Netherlands that can't really find housing in spite of a good income: Why would I want to fight for a country that does not give a shit about our basic necessities like housing? And I'm still on the good end of things. So many with student debt, everyone told them (kids or young adults who have no experience to know better) it is a good idea. Also, yes, I do work in an office and from home. When I had to make the decision on what route to take in life I saw the abysmal, almost minimum wage income, that was to be expected going into a trade and said absolutely not. Why did they every expect men to break their bodies for the bare minimum? The salaries have to go up and I hope they do. Duck, I actually prefer manual labor, not office work.

My only regret is that it took me nearly 17 years of being stuck in a normal job before I took a chance on myself - but I suppose as you get older, age lends a unique perspective. I recognise the way the world is. We're not entitled to anything except that which we can make for ourselves. I was sick and tired of being beholden to a boss, giving away my time for 42k a year and still not being able to enjoy and do the things I wanted, with limited time off each year. There had to be a better way, and there is: You work for yourself and setup your own gig. I'm not saying it'll be easy, but if you don't quit you'll get there. The problem?

AI can't do physical job but 1.5 billions Indians can, take a look at what's currently happening in Canada

[@ChrisAddis]

@sleeper9638 Canada has a long standing left wing government and virtually endless room to expand into......we're and island and this left wing labour train wreck of a government won't last, better believe it

[@sleeper9638]

@@ChrisAddis I hope so, I'm in Ireland at the moment and the same things has been happening here for the past 2 years. Difference is we're a small island with nothing left to expand into

😮 we're not going into the physical labor is because we have phones and we saw what happens when you do your body gets destroyed😮 we're not joining the army because our country is corrupt the army doesn't pay enough😮 and we actually do understand what's going on in video games so if we go to that in real life we'll all die😮 we're trying to do cushy office jobs😮 because I know robots are coming if not here so why am I going to bust my ass doing something physical when I can get paid about the same amount of money sitting in an office😮 now if I'm offered to do something😮 physical which I have experience in😮 for significantly more money than an office job then yeah I'll definitely do it😮 but only for a time to get a paycheck😮 we're working smarter not harder😮 that's one half of us the other half is just straight up lazy😮 or so poor they can't even work😮 more mentally ill one of the three😮 there's also a fourth group of gen z that's already become rich😮 or has Rich parents😮

😮 so if I'm only going to be able to work whatever job for 5 years😮 why bust my ass doing something physical😮

Whats wrong with people looking at the market and going after what pays. Money talks bs walks in any system that operates with it as its basis. Catch up or be left behind olds aint exactly like we got population to support no one left behind thinking.

TO ALL YOU COMPLAINERS. I was kicked out of school at 11, got my first full Time job at 17 worked 90hrs a week. At 19 I started a business WHILE working an extra 60hrs a week at my job !now I’m 20 years old with around £150,000 to my name and I have 4 part time employees. Anything is possible you just have to pull your finger out. Grab your balls and just do it. And by the way my parents are not rich they are in all sorts of debt and one’s a raging alcoholic. None of what I said above is a lie.

The world is not in fact changing, the world is the same. The economy in the west is changing, very much for the worse. Potemkin village comes to mind

[@ChrisAddis]

The world is always changing. That's why we don't see horses and carts much any more. Sure the economy changes....but then everything changes given time.

😮 we've also reached the point with AI😮 it doesn't matter if you're a plumber or anything like that you probably only got five years left to do whatever that job is😮 go look go look up the uni tree 16000 robot motherfuker can do backflips and break walnuts with his hands he got 16,000 how much are they paying f****** electrician😮 and plumbers and s***😮 probably enough that if one of these things break they can buy three more😮

[@ChrisAddis]

Maybe robots can and will be able to do some of the jobs you list above. But at what cost. There are drones that can clean windows....but are they as cost effective, can they do detailed work, can they be deployed wide enough to make the job obsolete to humans? Possibly, but not in our lifetime...imo

[@tristansayers6494]

The title is so negative and hateful. I came expecting to hate what you said and leave a massive nasty in the comments, but you didn't say anything bad. You're just basically saying that people moving in to different industries in the next generation isn't a problem for anyone- which i agree. So i don't understand the title. Maybe it's to grab views, worked for me, i wouldn't have clicked if i wasnt emotively triggered.

[@ChrisAddis]

It's a common question and point of topic I hear a lot. Maybe you're right, it is negative, but then there's a lot of hate and negativity directed at young people in general. Like you say when discussing it in detail there's no need for the negativity. It's interesting you mention emotion driving your response; again when looking into the facts and the detail, it's better to talk facts calmly and with a level head.

Sorry to be pedantic, but if you left school in '98, then you were born in the early 80s, correct? That would make you a millenial..

[@ChrisAddis]

Some say 1981 just nips gen x, some say later....I could care less. The reality is many people are having a dig at those aged 30 and below; I believe unnecessarily, for the reasons stated in the video. Take it for what it is....my opinion with zero regards as to what others think.

[@KungPowEnterFist]

It used to be claimed that Gen X was born 1965 to 1984, which was in keeping with the ~20 birth years per generation cycle. That was later shaved back to 1983, then 1982, then 1981, then 1980, and recently I have been seeing claims of 1979 as being the last birth year of Gen X. As much as 5 years have been shaved off of Gen X after the fact. This phenomena is what led to the creation of Xennials, which are basically Gen X-ers that got re-labelled as Millennials. IMHO, Millennials didn't actually start being born until after Reagan's second presidency ended, and didn't start coming of age until GFC (2008).

[@ChrisAddis]

@KungPowEnterFist another thing they robbed from us 😄 🤣 😂...in all seriousness its mainly those born late 80's early 90's that generally get a hard time with us oldies 😄
