We were visiting my wife's cousin and her family, 3 generations live together for the sake of brevity: boomers, Xers and a zoomer.
Zoomer we will call Z is in college and had just started a new job part time. She had been working in a bar but found the hours too unsociable and hard to reconsile with her college load. Also they had a tendency to change her shifts of ask her to come in and cover.
Z's new job is going well, a store, and Z is working there about a month. Z gets her shifts a week in advance with the roster posted in the back office and it is shared via messenger.
Suddenly Z finds she's being told to come in on different days, extra shifts. She refuses. Says the roster in the office says these are my hours I've made plans accordingly.
Her family cannot accept this. They think it's madness. “you've only just started”,, ” they must Need you to come in” “you don't want to makr a bad impression” Z shrugs.
They ask us what we think. Well I've been fully antiwork pilled so, I said “Z, you are 100% right, you keep doing that. It's their problem not yours. Don't pay these any mind.”
The children are our future.
