I don't see many Gen Y'ers try to "tough it out".
3 months here, 2 months there, another 3 months here...
And they'll have the gaul to put it all on their resume?
Me: "So why did you leave this job?"
Them: "Oh, I had a personal conflict with the manager."
Me: "And this one?"
Them: "Oh, same thing - yeah, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to call them."
Yeah, I wonder who the problem really is  . |
I have to disagree with this. Buying power for minimum wage workers hasn't been this low in a long time.
Plus employers expect employees to work all sorts of random BS part time shifts. Try working split shifts sometime.
I think a big part of the problem is corporate employers. Some are great but others don't know how to build an employee/employer relationship. The employer is concerned with the bottom line, and the employees learn that same attitude.
Caramon as a hirer I'm guessing you have a salary job that is 9-5. Try working random shifts and see how much it disrupts every part of your life. That doesn't even take into account the minimum wage lifestyle you have to lead (This retail job probably leaves you with ~1200/mnth after taxes?)
