If you’re working full time and still have to live with your parents or roommates and check prices when buying groceries you’re not getting reimbursed for your work. At this point you feel like a slave and not a free man.

Pollak recommended that companies employ a method called “reverse mentoring,” in which junior and senior employees meet regularly to discuss their perspectives on the workplace.
That mix could help increase workplace satisfaction and counter negative feelings younger workers have about their jobs. For instance, older employees are more likely to find their jobs enjoyable and fulfilling
No shit, older people have their housing, and also canard advice like “just show up”. When Gen Z shows up with 60k in debt, outrageously obscenely unaffordable housing prospects, absurd healthcare costs, and inflation all stacked ontop, the issue is not with the generation but the disparity. “Reverse mentoring” will only infuriate them.
This is coming from a Xennial, who is still waiting for those “good times” to show up that the fucking idiot boomers got handed early on.
Pointing to the gap between employee expectation and what employers are offering is a masterful bit of sophistry. The employers will read that and blame employee expectations for creating the gap; labour will read it and blame employer stinginess and greed.
Edit: Care to actually voice what you disagree with, rather than just being passive-aggressive about it?
Also as an older employee and one who knows even older and retiring employees, employers used to provide more. More in money (adjusted for inflation) too, but also more in benefits. MUCH more in benefits.
