This is the US armed forces, right? Not a private militia or Hells Angels or Boogaloo Bois or Antifa?

Just can’t interfere with their requirements or penalize them for serving.

Might still be their first real full-time job with benefits, but they understand "work" and "learning on the job" and "full time" etc. Drawback is they sometimes have to go do "military stuff" and get paid. I also recently learned (I'm not an HR person, so cut me some slack) that I'm not supposed to ask about said "military stuff", or "when they will be gone and for how long" So it's been a potluck of what happens after the hire, what the actual availability is going to be. BUT STILL I would hire these people all day long. _____ From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> > on behalf of Ken Hohhof <khoh...@kwom.com <mailto:khoh...@kwom.com> > Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2024 4:31 PM To: af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Gen Z new college grads I assume some percentage of people in the Gen Z cohort do want to work hard and build a successful career. Imagine you're a new grad hired into a work from home or 2 days at the office company. That's got to be sub optimum. I think the whole Covid work from home thing also relieved the first level managers of actually doing their job - managing people. Or is that done by AI now? Article seems to say after a couple years of just griping about it, bosses are starting to fire the non performers. So what were the bosses doing until now to earn their pay? Oooooh, firing people is hard! With newbies you also need to do feedback and mentoring, because according to the article, colleges aren't preparing them for the world of work. And if these companies have accumulated a bunch of worthless employees with bad attitudes, that's going to rub off on impressionable newbies. Honestly, that kind of happened to me at my first job after college. Just my $0.02 worth. ---- Original Message ---- From: ch...@go-mtc.com <mailto:ch...@go-mtc.com> Sent: 9/26/2024 5:06:27 PM To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Gen Z new college grads There seems to be a growing idea amongst the younger citizens that there is a universal human right to never suffer hurt feelings.

They're raised on TV and gameboxes and a diet that literally had no food value, zero nutrition. Their brains never developed and most of them are now living on adderal or ritilin. They're non-functional humans and we have an entire generation of them. With the attention-span of a fruit-fly. We might as well have used lead-cookware, same result.
