I couldn’t agree more, fuck em. I’ll take the authenticity over corporate drone any day. Besides that, the real issue is that higher level managers want what’s comfortable for them during uncomfortable times. Hustle culture is dead, and they can just shut down the business. A great customer experience comes from a great employee experience.
Paywall, here’s a specific excerpt when you get past the clickbait bullshit:
So where is it going wrong for fresh-faced graduates?
Employers’ gripe with young people today is their lack of motivation or initiative—50% of the leaders surveyed cited that as the reason why things didn’t work out with their new hire.
Bosses also pointed to Gen Z being unprofessional, unorganized, and having poor communication skills as their top reasons for having to sack grads.
Leaders say they have struggled with the latest generation’s tangible challenges, including being late to work and meetings often, not wearing office-appropriate clothing, and using language appropriate for the workspace.
Now more than half of hiring managers have come to the conclusion that college grads are unprepared for the world of work. Meanwhile, over 20% say they can’t handle the workload.
In reality, colleges know that their students are wholly unprepared for the workforce, and some have started stepping up to fill the gap.
For example, Michigan State University is teaching students how to handle a networking conversation, including how to look for signs that the other party is starting to get bored and that it’s time to move on.
Meanwhile, a high school in London is trialing a 12-hour school day to prepare pupils for adult life.
Want to be more hirable? Attitude is everything When asked what would make college grads more hirable, bosses responded: a positive attitude and more initiative.
Intelligent’s chief education and career development advisor, Huy Nguyen, advises Gen Z grads to observe how other workers interact to understand the company culture at any new firm they may join. From there, it’s easier to gauge what’s an appropriate way of engaging with others.
“Take the initiative to ask thoughtful questions, seek feedback, and apply it to show your motivation for personal growth,” Nguyen adds. “Build a reputation for dependability by maintaining a positive attitude, meeting deadlines, and volunteering for projects, even those outside your immediate responsibilities.”
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently echoed that an “embarrassing” amount of your success in your twenties depends on your attitude—and the reason why is simple: Managers would rather work with positive people.
Some leaders have even insisted that a can-do attitude at work will advance young workers’ careers more than a college degree.
Richard Branson, the billionaire founder of Virgin, has repeatedly urged young people to ditch university in favor of the “school of life.”
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently claimed that raw talent and personality trump credentials.
To that end, Cisco’s top executive in the U.K., David Meads, dropped out of school at 16 years old. He told Fortune that “attitude and aptitude are more important than whatever letters you have after your name, or whatever qualifications you’ve got on a sheet.”
I didn’t even get past the mid point of the story, game’s too boring and the loading screens are too ass.
I just want to see Nintendo go after all the Rule34 stuff. It might be the one thing that could exhaust their resources.
A delay or a layoff, or both!
About the same time we get Steam with Wayland support:
“When the sun rises in the West and sets in the East. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves.”
Just to further add, stock buybacks were considered “stock market manipulation” for a reason. Though the rules were put in place to protect investors, not the rest of us. This still has created a situation that most of us would agree on the framework conflicting with the concept of public trust. That being the concentration of wealth at the top and the SEC’s rules having been changed in 1982 through the efforts of lobbyists over the years. Were the SEC’s rules about securities, and the FTC to return to accountability exempt from lobbied interests, exactly what you just described would be flipped on its head, as we’d be having conversations about the Public Trust and anti-trust instead of bullshit about how the Fed does stuff that benefits wealthy vs fucking over the 98% of US citizens.
The virtue signaling just backfires. “Rainbow washing” is a thing now. Companies never gave a fuck about a progressive message, they care about trendy things to cash in on.
I love this, and I’ll even one up it. Let the bubbles burst, this is just a transitional period that you see like a predictable cycle in tech. The dot com burst was like a holocaust compared to this shit. Everyone who was in the tech scene before Google has an easier time with this. We can comfortable watch FAANG recede, and even be grateful for it. Let it happen.
He claims the developers are hostile to negative feedback, but for anyone who follows the issue trackers they’re actually quite open to feature requests. Some get tasked with milestone goals, some for final release, but it’s based on available resources and reasonable timelines.
He also claims Gnome implements things people ask for, which is one of the most hilariously inaccurate statements I have ever seen in my entire life.
From one of the comments in this video, my personal favorite is “wake up babe, new vaxry drama dropped”. If he read the issue trackers on github, he would see just how aware the devs are of what they need to work on. It’s actually been pretty awesome to see the prioritization of work and estimated timelines.
Are you a dumbass?
I’d love to see some of your thoughts against the hopelessness. One of the things I hear about a lot is how companies are good at union-busting. What’re some of the suggestions you have in general on overcoming that?
There was 2,177 words in the “how to fix” portion of the blog post, you dumbass.
An ex-CEO dipshit who got ran off because he fucked around too much, and he pretends that his old stodgy ethically bankrupt perspectives mean shit. That’s hilarious.
Exactly, it’s wonderful news!
Cool, let all the dumb fuck time vampires suffer. I won’t be helping anyone with shit. “Shoulda bought a Mac”
That really is understated and underfocused on. They’re trying to save face and be hire-able, but the reality is that “stay afloat” means millions spent on vintage cars while people like that family struggle towards their future. Stay afloat my ass. It’s the sneering face of evil greed that equates to “staying afloat”.
Heh, log
