Is it just me or are young adults under the age of 25 just plain lazy?

    At the same time though we have so much at our fingertips literally because of smartphones, so technically we have to work less to achieve what our parents and grandparents did, even though we have less money and things are more expensive now like food and cars....I am 34 now and I to look back at what other generations did and sometimes I'm disgusted lol.....but theres no denying there's plenty of lazy Gen Z and up now in the work place....

    So true!
    Met a driver this week who has well over 3 decades driving trucks, who is a horrible driver. Not sure how he got his drivers license at all. But he had plenty of excuses for why he couldn't drive.

    Ditto
    Have worked with guys that have driven trucks their whole working career and still can't "drive" a truck. That is okay, they make the rest of us look good.

    Mack you’ve been here awhile. So I’ll tell you a story I heard tonight. I graduated with an engineering degree at 21 and I made a career in labor eventually to be on a bulk driver trainer (I’m working my way into the safety department to do ops management). This guy told me he told his son to stop talking to labor because it would ruin his future. I asked him “what’s wrong with labor?” And he basically responded that laborers aren’t people. Absolutely insulting and 100% the reason kids don’t respect labor.
