[Applause] thank you gen Z don't think it's required to show up when you're hired you may have heard of ghosting a behavior typically associated with dating where you abruptly stop communicating with someone without explanation of course some people experiencing experience ghosting more than others the practice is common among gen Z and now they've started doing it with employers a new survey found that 93% of geners admitted is skipping out on interviews and 87% said they even accepted a job of
fer only to not show up for their first day of work it should be noted this study is from the UK so none of the jobs were for dentists cheap shot the kids claim that bailing helps them feel in control of their careers no surprise their flaky Flights of Fancy have left businesses struggling to hire people Plus without a job to tie them down they get could spend their days doing what they do best nothing which raises an interesting question how do you have a career if you constantly blow off job i
nterviews maybe it's actually kind of smart after all wouldn't you prefer that someone who didn't actually want the job not show up at all and if you're a boss be happy that you just dodged a bullet a person who blows off their first day of work probably isn't someone you want working for you so the kid probably did you a huge fa favor and it's the kid's loss when you think about it I mean he ends up missing the first day of orientation you know that's when my staff learns about their benefits W
hen I model robes yeah yeah Charlie are you genz I'm not gen Z I'm a a millennial oh there you go you know what's funny is this data says that you can prevent ghosting with a higher salary I could see that I know it's kind of like take job pay them more that kind of works across the board exactly do you think this is unique to gen zers I do but it's actually a reverse Trend because I just identified myself as a millennial I recall being ghosted by some of the jobs that I applied for yes when I g
raduated like I remember applying for a job as a reporter in Idaho Falls Idaho there's only two reporters in the whole area I mean and I was a it was a fox CBS and ABC all rolled into one they never got back to me I thought I had a great interview so I was a little bit astonished but when I look at the path that jenz is headed down now I think about like the ease of it all they go to college they can fail college classes and have it wiped off their transcript in some cases and future employers w
ill never know they could probably get their student loan debts wiped out by Joe Biden and then they graduate only to blow off the employers who are trying to give them a golden opportunity so I imagine if they're treating potential employers like this what they probably treat their significant others like so I just want everyone here please hold me accountable even if I'm desperate never let me date a younger man please please I feel the same way I don't know I'm on I'm on the fence I don't I'l
l take what I can get at this point cat um but on the other hand it's not like you owe these people anything right these bosses they could fire you at any moment yeah I don't think it's easy to be jenzy either yeah like I mean like the lip injections alone it's more time and pain than I'm willing to put in clearly um I also just I think it's I think it's they just miss that the part of the job that's good is the part where you get paid yeah uh you know I don't know why you'd put in all the effor
t to like going to a job interview putting yourself through that to not get even like con men they they ghost you after they have your money right um but that's like an important part of it uh they're not like got you like what did you get like are you just addicted to The Thrill of the scam I think jet I think people they don't understand what a career is like a career has to be something where you make money right and Millennials it said actually they don't do this because they're worried that
ghosting would ruin their career which is I think as a millennial I can relate to it's a lot of anxiety like I always worry every time I if I don't say something that I should have said something and if I did say something that it was wrong mhm which is weird that I talk for a living yeah it is true that is true you don't have that problem here that's for sure yeah you know U maybe they are addicted to job interviews you get free coffee and water people are nice to you no why are we being nice
about this there it's not even a generation thing I had I'm X and we've got a ton of morons in our group too yeah and some of them we have to call in-laws so you know the one who always got the get-rich quick scheme and he's got all the codes for Bitcoin he just needs your money to unlock it at least have the decency to be a Nigerian prince before you the problem is this younger group and I watched this I watched this go down this weekend with my kids everybody thinks they're famous so when they
they accountability like so here's and I wanted to explain it to me so you decided you wanted a job you got up before 300 p.m. did some form of Grooming Uber to the job interview which you stayed up all night practicing your lies about how you were not a lower than c-grade student in college and you got a really cool career influencing getting ready to start which you're working on you went to that interview and they were dumb enough to give you a job you went home you bragged about it you were
doing your thing and then [Music] you and then you [Applause] I think I just killed one of my kids on my phone but uh and then you were was and then you wait for your first day to go on your Tik Tok or Facebook and say ghost to the job today burn for four people to tell you you're so brave you're such a badass because apparently hold on because when I was coming up we had these funny things called Miss meal cramps and keeping the light bill on because generation exp parents answer when you aske
d them for the money was usually what I just did to my phone click Andrew did this ever happen in your restaurant business world where people would yeah oh it has to because hostesses waiter like they're very promiscuous with their careers and with their time and with their time look the thing is is that this happens every single day I mean we've got job postings you know Busters Runners bartenders dishwashers and every single day we get ghosted what we started to do was kind of like a doctor's
office policy where we take your credit card before the interview and if you don't show up for the interview we charge you $100 our sales have gone up like 600% weekly but but to get get into some of the psychology behind this the reason these people because I actually it's funny somebody ghosted for a job interview we reposted the job four months later they applied again and I reached out to them I'm like you ghosted the first interview they actually reached back out and they were like no it's
social anxiety I started driving there I started panicking I didn't know how to interact with somebody I'm like look you know I'm going to call your bluff come in let's have the interview they've now been working for us for 2 years and they truly did have social anxiety because everyone's in their phone these days and they don't understand how to interact with people so um and that Morgan Freeman right yeah yes it was and they're now the interviewer yes Morgan Freeman yeah I don't know I just li

As someone that’s not in Gen Z, I’d just like to thank them. Competing against you in the job market has made success extremely simple

@user-nm5ms8sq6g

Gen Z makes the Slacker Generation look energetic. "Lazy" is Sesame Street's Word of the Day.

@Sceneyour

They are too busy trying to figure their gender out.

@alanm.4298

I guess when you're a 23 year old college graduate who just moved back in with mom and dad, you don't really NEED a job! I once had to call and delay a job interview.... chicken pox! And I was in my thirties! The interviewer just laughed and said it was one of the better excuses he'd heard. Two weeks later, fresh out of quarantine, I interviewed and got the job.

@dougadams9419

If you get hired and don't show up for work, as Donald Trump said "YOU'RE FIRED"

@tonyshaw7420

Here's a tip, don't hire college or university kids. Hire kids with grade 12,and train them on the job, most jobs only require probably less than 10% of their education

@checle4499

The times I've heard of the new hire working one day and then never coming back - what? I was at a drive thru getting a sandwich yesterday. The kid took my order, took my money, gave me change, threw down his headset and walked out - all within a five minute timespan. Too much stress for him I guess. We are doomed!

@user-ti3fe6gg4s

What a lost generation , all they can do is stare into a phone .

@specialk9424

Good thing for me, I'm older than Charly. Bad thing for me, Charly has no idea I exist.

@kevinwetsch5209

That credit card joke made me laugh.

@danmiku1

I couldn’t imagine interviewing, agreeing on a salary, start date and a schedule. Day one comes and you just don’t show up?

@AndreaDoesYoga

It's alarming to see such disregard for responsibility.

@joemachismo6594

And they wonder why people say that generation doesn't want to work.

@TheChosenApple

As someone who is gen z, it’s extremely sad and disappointing that this is how gen z has decided to present themselves in the job market. People take too much for granted and it leaves the rest of us that actually care about our careers and trying to find work left to try and heal gen z’s damaged reputation. People just need to grow the hell up and stop worrying about ur “anxiety” or whatever gender they decide to make themselves every week.

@chasethefloridaman4887

Who's else is not watching the video and just scroll through the comments and seeing who hates my generation

@charisbarks5241

How does bailing help Gen Zers feel "in control of their careers" if they have no careers because they keep bailing? 🤔

@DaveNarn

Yeah, I got ghosted on my third interview after agreeing on a salary. The only other interviewee must have been Gen-Z because after I reached out and was told they went with someone else, a week later they were asking if I was still available… and that was a big no.

@RKYMTNWAY303

Gen-Z Pro Tip: Don't bring your mom to a job interview.

@eduardofukay

Bloody. The way the restaurant owner did it was so elegant.

@feffygracie

My lil millennial thinks Gen Z is useless.
