Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?
oascany@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoGen Z and I work in customer service. The average consumer has become such an entitled, idiotic, immature prick that you cannot reason with. Guess what age range these pricks tend to be?
If people are consistently breaking an internal rule, that means the rule should probably be looked at. I work with gen z, I manage gen z, they’re just people that society has kicked in the balls over and over and over again and their will to do anything has been eroded since they were conscious. Their primary social years cut off in the middle of a global pandemic. Maybe work with empathy and someone will want to work with you.

the rule is work 40 hours a week and do not travel out of the country while working for us.
we have had to fire 6 people in the last 12 months failing to meet both these very basic ‘show up and don’t be an entitled idiot’ rules.

Idk how strict you guys are with the 40 hours a week. Does 39 count? 38? 35?
I also struggle to see why travelling out of the country is not allowed. Unless it’s some sort of really secretive and sensitive work, why can’t employees leave the country? Are we talking vacation? Time off?

40 hours is 40 hours. it’s not that hard of a concept. slacking off gets you fired.
and it’s breaking company policy and USA law to work overseas. it is sensitive work.
