As a 62-year-old employer at a small company who has hired many young people, I can honestly say that the vast majority of you are lazy and too entitled to hold down any job.
Out of the 20+ people I've hired as a business owner, there was only 1 young person who I thought was sort of decent, but even he's not up to my standards.
This is simply what employers want in an employee:
- Must have a college degree in a hard science with a 3.7+ GPA
- Must have 5+ recommendations
- Must have at least 5+ years of experience
- Must have won prizes
- Must have good social skills and amazing quantitative abilities
- Must know useful programming.
- Must be willing to work overtime and on weekends occasionally without pay.
- Must be prompt and be able to handle criticisms.
- Must understand that I will give bad and false reviews to his future employers so that s/he doesn't move to other companies
As I've said, out of the 20+ young people I've hired, only 1 has come close to my requirements. This is for a $9/hour with no benefits receptionist job.
He was a math and econ double major at a top 20 university and he fixed a security vulnerability in my website when it was hacked. Unfortunately, he left after 2 years. I don't know how he got a different job, though. I gave him terrible references so other bosses wouldn't hire him.
Why can't young people meet my standards? I think a lot of you are too entitled and are unwilling to learn the necessary skills to get jobs these days.

Interesting post but doesn't mean shit. I'm 25 and have held a job since I was 15. I got into sales at 18 and I not only make a killing but motherfuckers love me.
I know you're a neet trying to make a point about job requirements but my advice to you would be to go into sales. Apply for sales jobs not matter what experience they require. We literally hire neets all of the time because you can teach anyone to be a salesman.

This is a horribly ham-fisted attempt at bait. I got a job flipping signs for $10 an hour by simply not being a felon, not even a drug test was required.
To make this more believable, change 62yo to mid to late 40s, change the $9/hr to $15/hr, drop "won prizes" and programing as well as the whole paragraph between "no benefits receptionist job" and "why can't [they] meet my standards", then you may have something believable.

I don't think this is bait. I think its just really good satire. Nice man, made me rage a little but I think there's a lot of truth in that post

It's a copypasta from /pol/
But the attitude is why I seem to get e-mailed about the same jobs over and over and over.

>hard science degree
>good social skills
Nice bait
I'm a Gen Y in my twenties, and as someone who has to hire people who are my same age, I agree to an extent.
Most people are lazy as fuck and are entitled. I disagree with the 'requirements' though - I've found hiring people with experience over college grades/extra curricular is better

Ive been on the internet for too long to know the possibility of this thread being bait is 100%.

People with 3.5+ GPAs and no experience perform better than those with sub 3.0 GPAs and 2+ years experience.

Literally the opposite of the truth.
