Just these days I am talking with my colleagues with work experience of over 15 years, about the way of thinking of certain young colleagues, who are just starting their careers.
They don't like to work, they don't know how to do much and it's hard for them to use even the little they know how to do. and of course, they expect a good salary.
The most recent case:
Yesterday, a supervisor stopped by to sign a release for a colleague (year 2003), who had her first day of work on Monday last week. That is, she worked for 5 working days... In order to get her a job, the entire HR department was engaged, interviews were held, codes were opened in the system, e-mail address, equipment for work, a car were purchased.
And after 5 days she concluded that it's hard work and she won't do it.
She quits her job, and invites a fellow supervisor (who is also her mentor) to pick up the business car in front of her apartment, because she hates coming to the company.
I'm speechless.
If that is the future of our new workforce, we fucked a hedgehog in the back (one of our metaphors in the form of swearing, I don't know if anyone else uses it and how it would sound in other languages, if the point is clear... It hurts...) .
I read similar stories daily nowadays. My wife is in recruiting and she sees similar, so it isn't just the media looking for drama - the media just picks the extremes.
Lols at the hedgehog metaphor!
