      I'm in my first year of uni and genuinely have so much respect for people who manage to support themself while sutdying full time. I can barely keep up with my studies (good grades but pressed for time) and I only work one 7 hour shift a week so I can't imagine what it's like being the starbucks guy. Worse yet, at least the star bucks guy has an end in sight once he finishes his degree, those peopel with two jobs you mention have no hope to get out of the situation they are in and no support leg to stand on. Fortunately these problems aren't as prevalent in new zealand but they are still very real.

      The starbucks guy’s point? Totally valid. The fact that he, in the middle of the work day (while there were customers) sat on the floor and cried into the camera about it all? Yikes. Whether or not the gen z stereotypes are true, this guy is playing right into them - and the fact that you guys are writing comments suggesting that what he was doing was totally acceptable behaviour confirms it. I’m gen z too, and I’m all for speaking out against a system that sucks, but for god’s sake have a little backbone. Filming videos crying on the floor while your co workers bust their asses off in the background is not going to make people take us seriously.

    28 year old here: I've worked with gen zers (zoomers?) and it's not so much they're lazy/entitled (I've met those types in all age groups) just less likely to be personally invested/do shit they're aren't getting paid for.
    As they should: you don't pay your staff a decent wage and are ready to throw them under the bus at a moment's notice don't expect loyal employees.
    And to people arguing about whether I'm a millennial or gen z it literally doesn't mean anything. Some people picked a set time period (that apparently not everyone can even agree on anyway) and decided they were personality traits.

      You're basically saying "Its not hard , just dont have a life besides work and suck it up" , yeah, sure, then its not hard at all. But times change, and many young people dont see the logic in throwing your life away for the chance (not even a guarantee) that someone might pay your retirement or you save enough money to retire yourself. That isnt something realistic, even CEO's of major Banks acknowledge that being able to buy a house just from working is literally IMPOSSIBLE now if you dont have a family with money.

At a previous job, I was a worker in the lowest level position there was, volunteered for the institution, attended optional and unpaid meetings and affinity groups, proposed ideas that were approved by leadership that were high above my pay grade, and saw no recognition for it all. Never ask gen z why a job is just a job. That’s exactly what it is. Get in and get out because these places show they don’t care every day.

    As a Gen Z-er working at a law firm, I think Noel said it best when discussing how older generations are frustrated because we are pointing out things in the workforce that aren’t fair or could be improved upon. Yeah it can be annoying, but the fact so much of the adult population dislikes their jobs or feels “drained” from them is probably something worth noting or talking about. Work is going to be difficult, yes. But it is a bit sad that so many just resign to “this is the way it is” given that we spend the vast majority of our life working underpaid (in some cases), for a corporation who would squash us with no hesitation if we confronted them.

      As a millenial, at some point in my career I just lost the energy to try any fight it and after being around for so long you realize that certain cultures just aren't going to change unless the change is coming from the top down. And a lot of the times, the toxic culture is coming FROM the top. So you just work hard enough to preserve your reputation and transfer or promote to a place where the culture is better. I have also seen that although people are overworked everywhere due to current labor shortages nationwide, not all jobs are as equally toxic and some are actually not toxic at all (or maybe minimally toxic lol). I also learned that the toxicity is field-specific. I would imagine law firms aren't the best at respecting employees' work/life balance. About work being draining for everyone...I'm still looking for a solution and I'm currently on the verge of mental exhaustion, so please feel free to share your ideas on fixing that 😅 I can't tell if I'm drained from work, undiagnosed physical/mental health issues, needing a vacation, getting old, or all of the above.

    when i worked at walgreens my saying was "what are they gonna do, fire me? they need me!" they were understaffed and every employee had to do the jobs of like 5 people (register, stocking, photos, beauty, answering the phone while at the register, and they even tried to convince us to add on pharmacy) because this rich ass company doesnt feel like using some of its profit to actually have enough employees. one of my coworkers who was in her 60s and had been working retail for years would talk about how customers are more entitled than ever. my dad worked in retail when he was younger and he talked about how there used to be one person for each job, as opposed to being a "customer service associate" and have to do and know everything.
    its easy to say gen z doesnt want to work, but the reality is (at least retail) work environments are objectively worse than they used to be. And maybe gen z is overzealous to think that they might change anything, but is it really gonna help to tell them that they cant try? things can get better if we let them get better, instead of forcing the younger people to suffer what the older generations did.

      This is facts. I currently work Walgreens while attending college and the workload they put on people is unreasonable. Sometimes it’s okay when the store is slow. But other times it’s just insane. Sometimes I’m dealing with a problematic customer for tens of minutes at a time, while a long line is forming, phones I’m expected to answer are ringing, someone at photo wants me to take a passport picture and edit it, a FedEx dropoff is coming in, a same day order I’m supposed to pick and deliver is ringing in my earpiece, and I’m already behind on unloading the bays. Sometimes I have this workload while there’s TWO people on the floor, the other one being my shift lead!
      It all happens because for some reason Walgreens only wants to dedicate two people to closing the store for the last THREE hours of the store being open. They expect us to juggle half a dozen programs at once with 2 people on a busy Saturday night. God forbid someone need to take a shit at any point. Anyone calling people who work this job “lazy” has no fucking idea what they’re talking about

      @@g00d_drawrr The media was always controlled by a very select few, not an entire generation. So most values and traditions were passed down. I would say music and art were the most influential outside of the family environment. You can see the trends and values reflected in the waves of music heavily throughout 60’s-90’s and a little bit of early 2000’s but that’s when the internet started to take over. Thanks to CZcams and other social media sites, we don’t have only controlled media. So what you grew up on wasn’t necessarily made by a previous generation. Even if it was made by individuals from previous generations, those are individuals. They don’t represent a whole time period. Anyone can get online and share their opinions now.

    In reaction to the Starbucks worker, it's definitely not a Gen Z-specific complaint. The coffee industry has the highest % of queer workers and Starbucks offers the most inclusive healthcare package for gender affirming care. So it's just extra disappointing to see queer employees so burnt out (and understandable when they complain) because it's one of the few large corporations where being openly queer genuinely is tolerated across the board.

    I think Gen Z being more outspoken is not just because of more awareness of how late stage capitalism is affecting us. It's also because things have become so intolerable for so many people that it's no longer something that we can mentally and physically tolerate. For many of us (poor people, disabled people, people with mental health issues), it's not sustainable to just ignore the problem and be like "that's just how it is" so we HAVE to talk about it.

    In college I worked four part time jobs, going to school full time. My highest paid job of the four was 12$ an hour. I was never. Ever. Ever home. I felt that starbucks employee, i was in the same position. The overwhelming amount of time you spend commuting to school, being in class, commuting to your first job, working, changing clothes and commuting to your next job, commuting home, working on schoolwork, eating if you remember, and then sleeping and doing it all again every week…that shit takes a toll on you. I am still recovering from that burnout 3 years after my college graduation. Im now working a job where our new boss came in halfway through and created an environment where he expects us to be on our feet and smiling 24/7. We work desk jobs, and he doesn’t want us at our desks. He threatens termination if you show any resistance to his orders, he used to be in the military and expects us to be bootlickers, so in my latest 1:1 meeting he told me I’ll be fired if I don’t step it up and show enthusiasm at all hours of the day.

    so, Noel, I encourage you to look into the Starbucks union and why partners across the country are working to unionize right now.
    part of the reason that partners only have 25 hours a week on their schedules is because the company refuses to schedule them for over a certain amount of hours so they will not have to pay out employee benefits.
    yes, you read that right. Starbucks partners are entitled to health benefits once they work a certain amount of hours a week. To avoid giving the workers those benefits, corporate simply doesn’t schedule them for hours equal to or above that threshold.
    so while that employee might seem like they’re overreacting if you’re not familiar with the situation, they’re not. they get scheduled for limited hours, then the hours that they do work there are insanely busy, understaffed, and their managers don’t even bother to show up.
    despite the fact that we may have experienced the same behavior from corporations at these workers ages, that treatment was NEVER okay and that’s why the labor movement is ramping up so much in our country right now. WE make this country move, our government needs to see what it feels like when we withhold our labor and our time.
    if our instinct is to laugh when we watch someone air their grievances about unfair labor practice and work treatment, it’s time to take a step back and evaluate which side of history we really want to be on. this attitude of “well that’s late stage capitalism for ya” (even though it’s tempting) helps no one and does nothing to create community that rises up against this system as a collective, which is the only way forward since we can’t legislate our way out of this.

    As a Gen Z interning as an elementary school teacher right now, I think a lot of us are just frustrated because it’s very difficult to find work that pays and that pays well. For internships, a lot of places are not willing to pay you because “you’re getting paid in experience” even if you have to travel and live on your own to work the internship. My partner had to move from California to NYC for a summer to work his internship this summer and it’s 100% unpaid. Especially if you’re a student, student employment is often below minimum wage, and they put a cap on how much money you can make per semester, so even if you work enough hours to get paid more than that, you just won’t get paid for it. My stipend rn BARELY covers my rent. Obv this is just the way being in the workforce is for millions of people, but I think being a student is a frustrating age to be because so much of the “work” that’s available to you is completely unpaid or below minimum wage, and as a full time student you have less time to dedicate to having a job, so you can only make so much money. I also would be terrified to do any of the things in this video tho because getting into good internships and jobs as a college student is so cutthroat.

    I’m on the cusp of millennial and gen Z, and it’s really encouraging to see people from both gens be at the forefront of union organizing and doing pro-labor agitprop. It’s difficult to form class-conscious with older folks (usually 50+ y/o) who were either force-fed McCarthyism or raised by parents who were, and who then grew up in Reagan’s anti-government and self-reliance shit. It can just be really fucking difficult to get those people to feel empathy for others in a much different place when this plague of individualism has been festering in American society for so long. I think a lot of Gen Z saw that for the first time during Covid - the unfathomable amount of selfishness and complete disregard for the wellbeing of others, the incredible impact that even a small amount of government assistance can make, and ultimately seeing how “essential workers” went back to just being dispensable bodies for corporations. More than ever, it was easy to see that poverty is a policy choice and that the companies we all work for don’t actually give a shit about us.

      ​@didip1000 The issue is that depending on Mikayla's line of work, she might be contacted by email by clients (salespeople) or recruits (new hires). A lot of people might laugh about the outgoing message, but the messages give the impression that Mikayla *really hates* her workplace. Especially that "I'll report you to HR" message. I don't like working any more than anyone else, but that's a conversation I have with coworkers, my boss, and random ppl on the internet.
      Also, to be fair, no one gets those outgoing messages unless they actually contact Mikayla. This means that if you don't know her schedule, you just got told not to contact her while on vacation.

  • @sierrafarnum9689
    @sierrafarnum9689 Před 11 měsíci +4

    Makes sense to cry if you're a starbucks employee. I never did but holy shit that job sucked. Every day a guy would come in and ask for an extra dry cappuccino, then complain that it took a long time (frothing milk takes a while and if it's extra dry you have to use multiple pitchers, so it's a long drink). Then he'd take a sip, yell that it was bad, and throw it away. There was another woman who many times a week would come with a 10 venti espresso based order. There was one espresso machine, each shot takes like 30 seconds, so it'd take at least 8 minutes and often 10. The person waiting at the register would get mad half the time, even though there was nothing you could do. Then there'd be a back-up of a line so every person had to wait a while and sometimes a mad person would inspire the anger of many, and you'd have half an hour of people being angry and salty at you. It was also the lowest tipping place I've ever worked at, with an average of 2 dollars a day (and Starbucks is usually sitting around minimum wage). Corporate also expects you to memorize and learn a bunch about coffee, and come in to do improv quizzes on you. Each time you didn't answer a question right they'd make you feel like you were incompetent. I left shifts thinking I was going to get fired for not remembering where their blonde roast of the day was from or whatever the stupid questions were many a times.
