Well then the boomer bitches can pay enough for us to live 10-15 mins from work, not a 2 hr drive in rush hour. This close eyed brutal existence they are forcing on us is about to implode on them. The barbarians kicked over the oil, they dropped their torches into it, and they are currently sharpening sticks to roast the ruling class with. This is not a damn game. You stole our lives from us, now we want yours. (The actual life, not your quality of living)
The C-suite boss where I work complained about being in the office at 7 am and seeing empty desks.
This was pre-pandemic.
The thing was, policies in place at the time allowed employees to work from home up to two days per week, and flex hours were permitted as long as the core hours of 9am to 3pm were covered. It just sounded insane to everyone.
I’m glad my job doesn’t care as long as your timecard makes sense.
Same here. If I start around 12pm-ish, it’s totally and I guess nobody would even bother if I slept a little longer. At my previous job I got my ass handed to me if I didn’t show up early in the morning, and no one cared that the office was at the ass-end of the world or that I put in a night shift the day before…it was horrible.
I personally don’t want to hear anything about coming in late when I usually am the last one to leave the office in the evening.
I’m the other way around. I’ve agreed to work for these hours, so I’m showing up on time and leaving on time. They seem to value this higher than more total time spent.
They can fuck off with that. Everyone else is there on time because they’re adults, why are you special? All those people left 10 minutes earlier than the absolute minimum of time in order to account for traffic problems, etc. So can you.
Study shows researchers never worked for any of my awesomely tolerant boomer bosses.
I was either 10 minutes early or 20 minutes late
A bus ride taking 40 minutes to go to work sucks
But the workplace was great so I don’t have much to complain about
I’ve always heard there’s a 15 minute grace period before they consider you late and basically everywhere (except Wal-Mart) I’ve ever worked has honored that.
It’s a power thing, their shoplifting policy is unbelievably strict for similar reasons. They will straight up ruin your life simply because the cashier forgot to scan a 50 cent lollipop.
Yeah, and in the same nursing job they will look at you as a bad nurse if you don’t copy the entire fucking chart on your little piece of paper. I don’t need merman’s apgar score. Gimmie the highlights and get the fuck out.
In the US all people are to be treated equally, that’s why large businesses have stringent rules. This is the way to not show favoritism to one person over another. Also why I’ve always worked for small businesses. They aren’t exempt just likely to get in trouble for it
in the US
All people are to be treated equally
You’re kidding, right?
If the company president is late, there is no penalty. Obviously. Of course the rules are inconsistently applied at many companies…
Were you describing your hope?
There is not one grain of truth here its like talking with that guy who sits down to pee and wipes the tip of his Peter with tp because mommy taught him and everyone is too embarrassed to straighten him out.
I was with you at first but you lost me. Why do you care so much about how other people use the bathroom?
I don’t think that article means what the headline thinks it means. Is everyone who is 10 minutes late getting fired? If not, there is some tolerance.
And of course sometimes the baby boomers are like to work, and they don’t fire themselves, so we don’t even have to do real research to call b******* on this one.
This article is just the same sentence over and over again.
I’m pretty sure most zoomers will outlive the boomers.
Funny that this is a complaint I just heard from a co-worker.
No generation is monolithic, just to be clear, despite some trends they might display.
But yeah, we’ve had a few people fired because they unapologetically couldn’t get their shit together. My career isn’t one where showing up late is even remotely acceptable. There’s been a massive upheaval in my industry from shitty pay for decades and a grind to climb the ladder that very quickly got rid of people that weren’t committed to the job, to today where the industry has been throwing money at people, huge pay hikes for the former grinders, and rapid climbs up the ladder with job offers everywhere.
So they’re spoiled in a way. No need to conform when people are handing you everything on a platter at some level. While I really appreciate the fact that these new people have it good, this job never should have needed the sacrifices it did, at the same time they really aren’t professional. On time is everything in this job.
