I had a 1:1 with her today and we have a pretty casual relationship, so sometimes she likes to go on a rant to let off steam. They’re honestly pretty entertaining typically, but I was floored by her hypocrisy today.
Not even sure what prompted it, but she started talking about how “no one wants to work these days” and how young folk expect to be paid “too much” and the only people that deserve to be making decent money are those with Master’s degrees (??!)
This woman charges $1,500/hour and has an undergrad degree. She also wildly underpays her staff by giving them responsibilities way above their pay grades.
Typically, I try to educate her but I just didn’t have the energy today. How do you see so many young people struggling and think there isn’t a larger issue than “young people are lazy”?
