Sorry GenZ, y’all are fucked. Millennials got the last of the ~~good~~ decent education, but they are massively in debt and cannot ever leave the workforce. So, they are “better” employees because they are smarter, more experienced, and a lot more desperate—which means they will work for less money and ask for fewer perks.

Worse then that I was looking at job listing that were requireing a bachelor degree and it paid 16 an hour. Motherfucker I got GED and make more than that. Crazy. And my son got his job making 13 but he isn't getting the hours needed to live. My oldest makes 13.50 and living in Dallas.

It’s gotta suck to recall a time when you thought you’d have it better than your parents, and then to see that there’s no way your kids can have it better than you. I hate humanity lol.

This hits home, I managed to score a pretty sick job at a tech company and I was just laid off this week, what the hell am I going to do now?
