I had a job interview today where I was told by the hiring manager that they dislike hiring people my age because ”you gen z have no loyalty to the company, unli his generation.”
Seriously?
Why would I have loyalty to a company that hasn’t even hired me and is already calling me unloyal? Loyalty is a two way street. If companies expect employees to be loyal, then they must first be loyal to their employees. When employees are considered and treated just as resources, there’s no way anyone with half a brain would be loyal.
Oh and the job I’m applying to is a junior web developer. The reason the guy brought up loyalty is I asked for the salary and he then proceeded to say it’s 2400€/month and when I said it was kinda low, I got the loyalty speech. I didn’t say this, but if you pay peanuts, you better expect me to take a better job as soon as I can.
