Look around you in that corporate structure. See any people your age? Ask yourself what they are doing right.

You’re hired

Perfect example of the defeatist attitude. Btw it’s not an ancient system. Didn’t even exist in my grandparents time. Neither did the concept of a weekend.

You guys are the majority now. Make the changes you want.

I think you got to spend too much online if this is the mental attitude you have. There’s tons of opportunity and good jobs and unemployment is crazy low right now. Like I said, get yourself a skill or a trade and there’s a shit pile of money to be made and as much work as you’re willing to do. I mean it took me and most of my friends into our forties to really accumulate anything, but I feel like the people on here think they should be rich or that every boomer was rich in their thirties. That’s very bizarre and a big disconnect from the reality that it actually was for many

Also Gen x

Retired a few back but keep in touch with the higher ups as well. You’re completely wrong with that statement. Many people get rewarded for hard work. But in order to get rewarded, do you have to be the one that is seriously helping the company. If you’re talking about the bottom of the worker pile then you have to do something to stand out. In my case I started off building on the factory line. Saw what they ran for computer systems. Trained myself at my own expense to learn them and ingrain to myself Socially with the people that ran them. Hard work isn’t just the physical part. It’s also the mental part and most importantly the social part. So much of business is social and if they don’t know who you are they’ll never know the hard work you’re doing or how beneficial you are to the company. If you are, that is.

You don’t need any of that to be successful. You just need a skill that pays and a willingness to work.

Or you can be a slacker, not make any money, and your kids can live in a shitty apartment in the ghetto. I’m sure they’ll understand.

Some of them are already past me and making more. But the majority flounder and don’t last. They most definitely aren’t doing my job better than me since they had to hire 4 when I retired. 3 of them didn’t make it and have been replaced. IT security guy in case you were wondering.

Lol. Now that’s out of touch.

Oh I see reality. I also see this next gen of workers coming in who are nothing like Gen X or even millennials. My underlying expectations are if you’re hired by someone be a good worker, work hard. Try to make the company better and if you’re good at it, the company will see this and promote you. Nothing crazy and nothing out of the reality that I experienced during my working life. Now I do see some new workers with the required social skills and knowledge to zoom up the ladder pretty quick, but that’s definitely not the norm.

It takes a long time to build the skills that get the rewards. Took me decades of grinding but will with the payoff.

There’s a big difference between working hard to get ahead and what you’re babbling about. I get the feeling from here that young people feel that harder workers shouldn’t be rewarded and slackers should earn the same.

Guess what. Not working hard had even worse outcomes. I’m kind of scared for the future with so many Gen Z being huge slackers and emotional weaklings.

Can’t stand these buggers. They wreck every nice hike up here. Nasty bites

Well they both cause cancer

Understood. Most of my time was with large companies where lots of people want to move up the ladder. Still very team oriented but also tried to stand out to get up a few rungs. Always willing to help out, jumping in where applicable to help solve problems that aren’t in my area, sticking around during disasters etc etc

Very true but you can still succeed without education if you’re willing to put in the time and effort. I’ve had a few different successful careers over my life and none of them were related to my little education. In my experience critical thinking and social skills play the biggest role
