Our tolerance level for bullshit is far lower than our parents, a new study shows.
, shows that today’s younger generation would sooner quit a job than remain unhappy in it, essentially leaving bosses who treat their staff like workhorses in a dangerous predicament.
The boomer, grin-and-bear-it attitude to life -- one that led us down a path of anti-union consultants and zero-hour contracts from companies with a multi-billion dollar net worth -- is officially dead. The idea of making massive compromises to get or do our jobs has become old-school.
In a statement, Randstad CEO Sander van ’t Noordende said that “young people want to bring their whole selves to work, which is reflected in their determination not to compromise their personal values when choosing an employer”. So what does that mean? Well, for one, it’s an indication that the power dynamics have shifted.
The burden on service workers to pick up the extra work required during the pandemic has left them rife for exploitation. Warehouses and food production plants were key sources of outbreaks during the first wave, then, as the world reopened, those in hospitality were put in the firing line, particularly in the UK where the ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme significantly boosted infection rates.
It’s not that nobody is interested in doing these jobs, it’s just that our generation has clocked on to the fact that they are a) mostly thankless and b) pay less than jobs that are far less mentally and physically strenuous. If you pay staff members the living wage, give them ample paid breaks, holidays and sick pay; and don’t set up elaborate ways of blocking the formation of, then maybe you’ll get happy, productive employees? Treat people like shit and the consequences are now inevitable.
