A few years back, if you didnt like your job or somebody offer you a dollar an hour more, you simply left. Employers were at the mercy of the employees.
I believe things have shifted back a bit now but some of the younger generation isnt seeing it. There seems to be a feeling of entitlement and that is very unfortunate.

Out of curiosity, what do you offer your employees beyond a paycheck? Do you offer training, benefits, clear paths and opportunities for advancement, personal and professional development, etc?
If you're not offering people anything more than a job, you're not going to get workers who are there for any reason other than money.
Take a moment and think about why these kids are working for you. Is it because they care about you personally? Your business? Your customers? Do they believe in what you're selling, the service that you're providing? Is working at your business beneficial to them in any way other than it provides them with money?
Instead of looking at it as there is something wrong with them and their behaviour, maybe think about it as there is something wrong with the business that isn't motivating people to the necessary behaviour.
