I hear that - the place I'm at now, I've got 21 yr olds in their second job trying to give me orders and life lessons. I'm late 40's, been working 30 yrs.
WTF is up with late teen, early 20 somethings??? They have more goddamned attitude, will not shut up, and sneer at everyone or everything that "bothers" them while they are chattin' or texting, or just standing around doin' fuck all... At work...
i bet we appeared the way to the generation before us,i was a chef,and had this kid fresh from school telling me how to make mashed potatoes,he was 2 yrs old when i started cooking and the little worthless punk was trying to tell me how to cook!! that lasted right up until i pointed out i was doing his job because he sucked at it,that i had in fact done all my prep work,the bulk of his,and managed to strip and clean the walkin cooler,and i was 24 yrs older than him
