Why do millennials and Gen Z refuse to work, Quiet Quit, be a NEET, and then complain about how they can't afford a house?
The Laziness Epidemic
The numbers don't match your claim. If nobody wants to work, why is unemployment so low?
Do those numbers count people who have completely given up and aren't even looking for a job anymore? or only people who are actively looking for a job?
and then complain about how they can't afford a house?
They can't afford a house working, so they refuse to work anyway. What's the point?
Make right-to-work not count for the first month. Working 1-2 weeks and getting let go because of corporate reasons is a net loss on anyone's situation. It's wasting their time when they could have gotten a job elsewhere instead. This shit is too common.
Human responsiveness from HR helps a lot, too.
I know a few people who haven't worked for 2+ months or are currently looking for a job. They could easily go to any fast food or retail place and get a job. Like I understand they have a degree they spent time and money to get but they're choosing to go into debt instead of working a job 'beneath them' like what the fuck. I could get them a job where I work in less than 72 hours but they refuse.
I don't want a house anymore.
unemployment is a statistic derived from job seekers unable to find work
holy shit I'm taking a cab back to the hotel

attach your resume as a pdf file, and then fill out this application you scanned from a QR code with your phone
the application is 10 pages where you fill in exactly the same information that's on your resume
your application will be sent to an algorithm which will determine if we'll send you to the next round of the interview process, which we likely won't because it's looking for keywords that generally aren't present or required
we might ghost you, we WILL ghost you, but we'll call you back years later to see if you're still interested
no pension
limited benefits
if we do decide to hire you, it's $12.45/hr and topping out at around $19 or so after a few years
speaking of 'years,' this is an """entry-level""" job, which is why we're requiring you have a degree (preferably Master's) and 3-5 years of relevant experience plus 3 references whom we will likely not contact
no vacations
no unions
no 401K matching
if you don't like it, you should've majored differently, gone into a trade, or become your own boss
oh, and we'll be firing you the moment we can replace you with an immigrant or AI
that is, of course, if we can't simply ship your job overseas
do the company dance, or you're fired
welcome to the team, we're all one big happy family here!
Fuck you.

you don't have a job logshit
you can't work either
drawing bad photoshops of andy isn't "work" fatass
Because it's about widespread change. You can't change what work is (an awful horrible waste of tune for a pittance, using your life for someone else to get rich) by continuing to work. My generation is going to look lazy, and die in ditches penniless, but it was going to be that way anyway even if we worked our asses off. Gotta cut the head off the snake. We will all suffer for this, but it will ultimately lead to some sortabstar trek work instead of the slave labor shit we are doing now. We could minimize the suffering of more of us stopped working, it would for the elites hand.
STOP. WORKING. NOW. otherwise your children will experience a life of suffering we havnt seen since the middle ages.
STOOP. WORKING. Billionaires have nothing without us
I typed this in a lazy rage. Ignore the typos you ca. Figure them out.
Yeah, get on EBT. Don't join the military. Fuck the jews
Born in 1991 so I'm a millennial. Got a job that I love, get paid good and treated good so I do my job well. I work for the highway department keeping highway rest stops safe, clean, and well maintained inside and out. Truckers need these places to sleep eat and live at when they're not driving, and I'm serving my state by making sure they don't turn into shit holes.
A lot of other people in my age group working with me, where is your god now?
Right-to-work isn't about guaranteeing jobs, it is about defunding unions.
Marxism is the answer.
I work music festivals and events and get paid cash, and get free drugs, pussy, and beer...
100% true. Shit, I bought my house in 2020 and I couldn't afford it if I was buying it now. It appreciated 110k and I have a sub 3% interest rate. Everyone is fucked.
the purchasing power of the dollar has dropped 48% since 1995 and continues to drop amid a 36 trillion dollar national debt. if you earn 50,000 dollars annually in 2025, that would be equivalent to roughly 26,000 dollars in 1995. aside from that, inflation continues to rise and wages continue to stagnate. I am not lazy, I want it to burn with no survivors.
Why would I want to work to only be able to afford an apartment in a shitty city and have 90% of all my money gone towards it? I ain’t giving into that shit
That’s a bitch ass job and you’re doing bare minimum. Those jobs aren’t easily available because once someone knows how easy they have it they don’t ever quit. These the types of jobs king Elon needs to whipe out!
Oh yeah I'm sure the truckers will be just fine living in ankle deep shit, and overflowing garbage. That's a great way to take care of the people responsible for how our supplies get literally everywhere.
logfag still cryin about zoomers implementing socialism after his pathetic generation dies off
People don't want to work because businesses don't want to pay. Real simple. The days of an honest days work for an honest days pay went away back in the 70's. Pull your head out of your ass.
my exact situation, bought in 2019 w/ 3.125% and I've gained 150K in value. I guess that's good but people younger than me are fucked. Someone making much more than me couldn't buy this house now at its market value w these rates.
As someone who used those rest stops on my tip throughout the USA I appreciate you kind sir.
stfu that guy is providing a service that people depend on. what are you doing but talking shit?
Yeah just did the math, my mortgage payment would be nearly double what it is now if I bought it at todays market value and interest rate 0.0
Except now the interest rate is double or triple what it was back then when there was basically free credit floating around. Banks pulled their purse strings tight now. I didn't get in, so i'm pretty much fuckered like everyone else.
Thank you anon I appreciate it. I genuinely love my job. Landscaping in general is cathartic for me, and the dot takes care of it's own, so I get treated well. It's not the most glamorous job in the world, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
dad had a grill party today. aunt made a remark about me being unemployes
everyone responding in earnest to this thread was trolled by the mikerowefag
They could easily go to any fast food
wrong. i barely have a HS diploma and fast food places constantly cancel interviews on me. i always show up on time and they improvise because low effort management
it's necessary to know something deeply hurtful about people, something that really bothers them, in order to have a devastating retort ready in situations like these
maybe your cunt aunt had an abortion in the past
Anon doesn't even have a job!
Neither does your son.
I don't have a son!
Well, not anymore. Thank God for Roe v Wade, right, aunty?
or maybe she's obese
Anon doesn't even have a job!
I don't need one right now, I don't eat like you do, Aunt Oinker
or maybe these situations don't apply to her, or they do, but she doesn't care that she's a fatso who aborted your cousin
the key is to know something that will really get under her skin and lay absolute waste to her ego if she wants to say something shitty about you
Nta, and I have a job but I don't think you should even waste the braincells on these types of people. You could have literally the perfect life and they would find something to criticize. Even giving them the time of day with a retort is just giving them the negative attention that they crave. It's better to let them go on withering away alone and starved of any kind of attention. It shows them that they are so unimportant, they're not even worth the braincells to give them a second of your attention. It's a far bigger insult than anything you can say outloud.
trips of truth
Why do millennials and Gen Z refuse to work,
Because the "jerbs" are utter fucking shit for pay that's a joke, mainly because of boomers fucking everything over.
Quiet Quit, be a NEET, and then complain about how they can't afford a house?
Same answer.
Absolute trips of truth.
Shut the fuck up and stop fucking judging other people stupid insignificant, waste of oxygen. How about focus on your own fucking life instead of telling other people what to do in those around you how to live their lives you sad sack of fucking shit
We get it you hate your fucking life, and you’re deeply dissatisfied with your job, and everything in your life, and you want to weigh down everybody else around you by convincing them to make the same mistakes that you’ve made, so that you feel better about yourself, but the reality is nobody else is fucking stupid as you and nobody else wants to waste their life at McDonald’s. So do yourself a favour and stop wasting your energy trying to convince everybody to apply at Fucking Walmart or Fucking McDonald’s
People could tell that you’re a fucking loser and I don’t want to end up like you so of course they’re not gonna take your advice and go and apply for some shit job somewhere like you did
You’re not a career counsellor you’re fucking nobody stop inserting yourself in other people’s lives, trying to control the direction their lives take
And getting angry and posting about it on Anon Babble when it doesn’t work out for you and you get ignored
What a sad little fucking man you are
I’m going to tell you what there’s an epidemic of
There’s an epidemic of 30 and 40-year-olds who wasted their time and wasted their lives that I wage slave job, that they low-key hate
They’re getting old and they know they’re going to die soon and they regret wasting their life working at McDonald’s so every day they desperately trying to convince everybody around them to also get a job at McDonald’s.
“I wasted my life working for Walmart so YOU have to as well!”
OP and everyone like him is a toxic cancer on society. You as an individual has absolutely no right to judge anything that anybody else does. That’s not your job or your position in society. Your position in society is to shut the fuck up and do the peasant job. You’ve been ordered to do instead of telling everybody else around you that they should also have to do the same peasant job just because your brain doesn’t understand why you’re wasting your fucking time and everybody else around you isn’t - you’re mad when you see people happier than you with more spare time than you
And you try to assert yourself over that desperately by telling yourself that you have a job, and they don’t
You desperately cling to the idea that you’re somehow better than them and have a right to tell them what to do
You don’t have a right to do anything, but work at your fucking wage slave job like a fucking peasant and shut the fuck up and be a good boy so that you get your $600 a week allowance
If one more dickhead tells me to apply at McDonald’s, I’m gonna stomp their fucking teeth down to the back of the throat
If I see one more obese tradie, who clearly is miserable with their life, trying to tell me that I should go and do a plumbing apprenticeship or a electrical apprenticeship, or waste, my life away, getting paid pennies to sweat balls, and lift heavy metal, I’m literally going to peel the skin off their fucking face while he’s still alive
Stay in your fucking lane mind your own fucking business and have more empathy it’s as simple as that
And stop judging other people you have NO right. ONLY god can judge us.
Stop trying to be god.
Reminder that Mike Rowe is a puppet of the globohomo elite who want us all to be uneducated blue collar morons slaving away in "dA tRaDeS" because it keeps society from advancing and becoming more prosperous.
I’m an obese guy that weighs 400lbs and wastes 40 hours a week shovelling shit into a bucket for $20 an hour my back is broken my lungs are fucked from inhaling concrete dust all day every day for 30 years. My wife cheated on me while I worked long hours and left me. All of my natural friends from school don’t talk to me anymore and my only friends are my work colleagues, my social life was sold out and the life I could’ve had was deleted from reality, I’m a sad piece of shit full of regret and the only thing that makes me feel better is judging other people for not being as tough as I am
Now get on your knees and worship me for being a tradie
30 to 40 is near death
I stopped reading right there. The average global lifespan is 73 years. Don't take my word for it, Google it yourself. Average lifespan in America is 77 years, almost 80.
40 is a tiny bit above mid life. Most people will live for another 30 to 40 years if not more with how fast medical technology is moving.
I personally agree that the job market fucking sucks and something drastic needs to be done with it, but you can expect anyone to take you seriously if you lead your opinion with at best a factually incorrect statement, at worst a completely retard take.
Here’s a tip
Tradies are SOOOOO much cooler when they’re humble, efficient and most of all QUIET
If you’re THAT good at your job, then shut the fuck up and do the god damn job
Is it your job to speak? To give life advice? No
Youre are a manual labour tradie. Do your job properly.
Are you retarded?
Manual labour linked to greater risk of early death, study suggests.
University studies conducted as of late suggest the same thing. It’s a well known statistic that those in trades have a vastly reduced lifespan. My tradie friends look 60 years old already and they’re not even 40 yet. I still look 20.
Average lifespan in America is 77 years, almost 80.
That’s because the average American isn’t retarded enough to waste their life doing construction.
theguardian.com
Tradies are also three times more likely to commit suicide due to mental health issues
Can you show me exactly where I gave you any advice? I even fucking agreed with you that the job market fucking sucks.
Your mother
I wasn’t even replying to you
It was a post addressed to any tradie in the thread
The average global lifespan is 73 years.
you do understand that data also includes 3rd world countries like Africa where the mortality rate is a lot higher. re-run your data but using only first world countries.
If you're going to talk to me like that you can argue with yourself. I've been nothing but polite with you. It's ironic that you're complaining about how people look down on other people for either being unemployed or having a less desirable job, while you are quite literally doing the exact same thing.
And we've devolved to celebrating that a group of people kill themselves now. You're quite the hypocrite. Have a great day.
There is two kinds of Tradies on the planet, and I have met both
One shows up doesn’t speak and gets the fucking job done like a professional
And I fucking love those types
The other type of tradie is obese, sits on his arse, orders other people around and judges everyone
Those are the terrible ones that you should stab
It’s really more to do with a persons ego than the fact that they are a tradie
If you're going to talk to me like that you can argue with yourself. I've been nothing but polite with you.
I was polite with you until you suggested that I was harbouring “retard takes” and said that my point was factually incorrect when it wasn’t and you were blowing smoke out of your ass, and now I don’t give a fuck about insulting you. You forfeited the rights to an intellectual debate free of insults when you decided to crack and insult somebody. And now you can’t even remember doing it because you have the memory of a fucking goldfish and you’re an idiot. And instead of just apologising, you double back on your stupidity. Because of the ego.
I can sense your fucking ego through the internet.
I included both the average life span of the globe and average life span of America in my reply.
you can expect anyone to take you seriously if you lead your opinion with at best a factually incorrect statement, at worst a completely retard take.
Next minute:
If you're going to talk to me like that you can argue with yourself
Dickhead
Now include the data from men only and show me what percentage of “mid-life” 40+ y/o is deaths were previously employed in construction roles
If I get on my knees, I might blow you out of appreciation for your hard work
This is the problem with you Fucking cunts
You dish it out, but you can’t take it in return and you start whingeing as soon as somebody gives you it back
It’s fine for you to call other people retard and judge other people’s lives, but as soon as somebody puts you in your place, you start whingeing like a toddler
get on a budget
you are quite literally doing the exact same thing.
No, I’m not I never judged their actual decision to work in construction
I never suggested that they should quit their jobs
I simply offered the statistical facts that you are more likely to die early, while simultaneously, pointing out the fact that so many of them feel compelled to tell you what to do
All I offer is factual debate. I don’t bring my personal opinion into anything and tell people what to do I do not judge other people’s decisions period
You have been nothing but mistaken throughout the entirety of this thread about everything
If you read properly, I actually say that I like the humble ones
Your ego is everything wrong with the profession
Give up that fucking ego it reeks
Just DROP it already
Drop the act
And we've devolved to celebrating that a group of people kill themselves now
If you think I celebrate suicide in any form, you are severely mistaken. I never once said it was a good thing that three times as many Tradies die to suicide did I?
I simply pointed out the fact that it happens
Do you see me popping any champagne?? moron?
ALL suicide is bad
Your issue is that instead of letting life guide you and people show you what they are about you have these preconceived notions in your head these expectations and you need to stop trusting in them because they’re wrong
Instead of judging, and letting your ego bleed into everything, and corrupt, whatever content you are consuming, take a step back and read more, use your brain more and process things internally, and if you are confused about the point, someone is trying to make ask them to clarify the point before you get mad about it
You are blindly, following your assumptions, you shooting yourself in the foot and actually missing out on opportunities because of the way these assumptions make you behave
For some reason, you seem to think that I was suggesting all tradies should die when I never once said that
I said they’re more likely to die statistically
Your incorrect perception of the situation and your own assumptions lead you to believe that I was being more aggressive than I really was and your ego prevented you from admitting that
Consider it a lesson in psychology
You make a great point. Why just the other day some White zoomer was telling me how he works very hard shoplifting.
Speak for yourself cracker jack, I'm flipping burgers and selling funny paper until I inevitably kill myself or I fail upward into a comfy middle management job
ROFL, look at the dates... I was like this seems off. Yeah, by 3 years
I think you have a backward understanding of "right to work".
