Codgerly Rant A-Comin'

Okay.

Twice this week I have heard of people making hires of twenty-somethings who, respectively 1) showed up late every day their first - and last - week on the job; and 2) never showed up at all.

Hey. Employers who fire people like me because we cost too much.

How's that getting-rid-of-all-the-experienced-people-to-save-money thing working out for y'all? (I'm looking at YOU, most recent former employer - who ditched fully ten percent of your entire workforce on this "logic".)



They're cheaper for a reason, some of 'em, guys. The entitled, got-a-smiley-for-showing-up ones, who think they needn't bother TRYING in this life. Nor, apparently (astoundingly!) in this economy.

Sheesh.
