    Old folks always complain about young ones, and vica versa.  Gen Z now stands accused of being Lazy as well as Stupid.

    "Many recent college graduates may struggle with entering the workforce for the first time as it can be a huge contrast from what they are used to throughout their education journey," Intelligent's Chief Education and Career Development Advisor Huy Nguyen said in the report.  They are often unprepared for a less structured environment, workplace cultural dynamics, and the expectation of autonomous work. Although they may have some theoretical knowledge from college, they often lack the practical, real-world experience and soft skills required to succeed in the work environment."

    I wouldn't be surprised, but isn't this true of all recently graduated college kids from any era going into the workforce?  Are Gen Z grads significantly worse than Boomers were when they took their first job after spending the summer smoking reefer at Woodstock?  How about the Dazed and Confused Gen X  grads who had Fast Tim4es at Ridgemont High before joining the Delta Frat at Faber College?

     

     

    If they are so bad, who are they gonna get to replace them?  Basically, this sounds like an excuse for companies needing to lay off workers.  Blame it on the new hires.
