@weheaa You seem like a nice person so I’ll answer earnestly: you’re right that a job is a necessity, but some jobs are more difficult with tight deadlines that Need to be done well. Social cohesion at work makes this easier on everyone so social rules are considered in the interview
As an older Gen Z who now has to hire people, I now fully understand having rules to select for “people who are capable of being mildly uncomfortable in front of company.” Really hard to have a functional workplace without this trait.
There’s this misunderstanding where people think Gen Z doesn’t know about all these unspoken social rules; they know, a lot of them just don’t care, and it upsets people to realize they didn’t have to care either.
this is somehow worse than the wet hair thing but in general if you cannot pin point a specific reason why doing something in a job setting is unprofessional other than “bc it is” then literally what is the point of that rule. why do u wanna act like a cop over nothing
Re: jobs: Life experience here. A job that hired you that didn’t care about how you presented yourself, were sipping on a drink and checking your phone during the interview is likely to be a FAR more toxic place to work than one where you had to follow social norms for 20 minutes
Mona is a parent advocate who has fought and sued New York’s public education system to make things better for all families who rely on public schools. She sees through BS faster than anyone I know and isn’t afraid to call it out. Grateful that our advocacy overlapped.
Last job I advertised I had 100+ applicants. Even culling people who weren’t qualified there was 20+ who were. So yes hiring someone I like is part of the deal
They don’t even have any ideas for how to actually change anything. They just assume that if they refuse to participate, society will eventually bend to their will.
yes! and her presence and money! she felt her daughter was immune to the issues she was aware of in the school system for unclear reasons. when she realized her daughter was not immune and was being negatively impacted, her response was to send emails reminding them who she was
"Just legalize sports betting, who cares" was one of the most wrong opinions I've ever had. We need a draconian snapback where it becomes something you can exclusively do in-person in Vegas and maybe at a racetrack in Atlantic City.
people cannot seem to hold these two equal truths:
1. pulling yourself up by your "bootstraps" isn't real/people are left behind/hurt by our systems
2. if YOU have the ability to learn, grow, or change your life, you have a responsibility to TRY, no matter how fair or easy it is
No. That doesn’t take away that SHE should have been checking HER child’s homework.
Two college educated parents, proclaimed to the principal she is a NYT writer, all them books in that house. They have one child. The homework should have been checked nightly. Period.
Stop it.
