“77% of Gen Z respondents admitted to bringing a parent to a job interview, and 53% said their parent had spoken with a hiring manager on their behalf” in a survey last month, reports Campus Reform:
The dependence persists when young people enter the workforce, with 73% of respondents saying they’ve had their parents help complete work assignments and 45% reported regularly having a parent talk to their current manager….These behaviors reportedly translate to a perceived lack of preparedness and professionalism in the workplace. A Resume.org survey of 765 hiring managers found that 56%encountered unprepared applicants…
One in six hiring managers also reported Gen Z applicants used their phones during the interview….career consultant Julia Toothacre said she was “shocked” to hear the statistics about Gen Z bringing parents to interviews…“They’re just not as prepared for the world,” Toothacre said. Toothacre, who has worked with thousands of clients over the past decade, attributed some of the problematic behavior among young people to a lack of critical developmental experiences. She cited technology and the pandemic as potential reasons leading to a lack of social skills among Gen Z, which she said translates to lack of preparedness in the workforce.
Many Gen Z job applicants haven’t been taught common sense or useful skills in college. They have been taught ideology, oppositional attitudes, and wokeness instead.
Colleges offer courses such as “How To Be A Bitch” and “Queer Marxism.”
Occidental College offers the course “Black Queer Thought.” The course critiques “the demands of heteronormativity, white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism.”
Divinity schools have proclaimed that Jesus was “queer,” and have attacked marriage, capitalism, and monogamy.
The University of California at Berkeley hosted a taxpayer-funded lecture on the “Queering of Agriculture.”
The poll of Gen Z respondents described above included 831 Gen Z adults who are employed full-time.
