[QUOTE="Brotherrr, post: 4372500, member: 79025"] I'm sure you're right. I just need to apply and see what happens. I understand what you're saying about millenials, but I think a lot of it is just unrealistic expectations as to what holding down a job requires and entails. Of course if everyone could have their way, they'd show up to work only when they were in the mood and get paid $200K a year. But that's not the way life goes for most people. So to say theyre no call/no show or ghosting employers as some grand statement on the unfairness of capitalism and wage-slavery just doesnt ring true to me. I think people who do this just want to work on their own terms, with their own rules, and that's just not how most jobs are. Or they're too lacking in assertiveness and/or afraid of confrontation that they cant even call off work, quit a job, turn down a job, or politely cancel a job interview. It really doesn't bode well for society if so many young people cannot do these basic things and instead choose to just "disappear" from a job. Its just basic courtesy; what happens when society starts to accept a lack of basic common courtesy/work ethic? Just seems like a bad trend to me. [/QUOTE]
