I don't in anyway begrudge #GenZ for their luck with the employment market right now. Employers have been treating employees like commodities for decades, and now the price of that commodity is rising. This is good for the you guys. (Inflation is going to screw over the boomer pensioners, but I've stopped caring about them. They never cared about us.)
But I'm sick of hearing Gen Z'ers complain about it, as if they are not being handed an employment economy not seen since the boomers graduated college. Young adults are walking out of school with zero experience and multiple $65000 job offers. My company just offered a young guy with his masters and no experience $70k.
It took me 10 years of work for the company to get up to $70k.
Again, I don't begrudge the guy at all. In fact I recommended his offer. But I'm sick of hearing Gen Z'ers today complain about how easy Millennials had it.
Seriously guys? I had lots of friends in college who had to live with their parents for years because literally no companies were hiring for years. I know married couples that had to move in with their parents with young babies. I had friends have to take NO PAY internships AFTER they graduated -and then not get a job offer when their internship ended.
Gen Z. You guys got it easy right now. Enjoy it. Give your elder millennials a rest.
Have a good day!
