  1. Dude, one of the best doses of reality I have ever seen. I wish that guy was my neighbor!

    1. He is mine in a sense. Atwoods is similar to tractor supply, headquartered in Enid Oklahoma where the tornado hit the other day.
      Proud to be an Okie

  2. Polished tantrum from the fella. He’s astroturffing just like a leftist hack, all emotion delivered as quickly as possible to sound authoratative. Like all those posts during the last election where a black woman would say how they were so weary because they knew it was up to them to save the world again.

    He’s defending Gen X and slandering the kids but never once swings at the Boomers who sold all our futures for a boat and a vacation home. Some might say oh not all Boomers, alright then how bout not all the kids.

    The kids dont have any opportunity to show you they can work Mr Fast Talking Tough Guy because they’re locked out entry level jobs by the illegals you imported for cheap lettuce and so you dont have to pay anyone a living wage. They can’t get in to a career you’d deem acceptable because the old union heads sit in the hall doing nothing but demanding higher and higher fees and rates and firing the young kids who actually work the jobs and are current on the newest tech and standards and want to work and prove themselves.

    How about a fast talking tough guy staring at the camera rant at the CEOs and private equity people who are buying hospitals and importing foreign nurses who cost less and dont report violations. Both generations by and large have refused to mentor and make room for the younger generation and in many cases have nailed the door shut after pulling up the ladder.

    That leaves a crack for the pretend job adult daycare center he seems so upset about. We have a team lead like this, he’ll go on long rants about kids these days and how they’re all weak while making their life a living hell because he’s a sad miserable puke exercising power the only way he can in the same way the miserable blue haired HR Karen, who is Gen X by the way, is when she demands pronouns in an email signature.

    Two institutions here have an unofficial mandate they are not allowed to hire American applicants for programing, IT, or network security. They refuse to hire and say they have no qualified candidates to they can outsource it to a foreign company.

    Maybe thats not tough enough for the older crowd. Not a real job. Its the same for our fabrication crew, facilities management, and research staff.

    Same thing for our biomedical techs. They want 10 years of experience on a program speciality that has existed less than 4 and want to pay a wage that means they’ll need roommates and multiple jobs to survive.

    Kids who did not have doors held open for them 10-20 years ago are facing a reality where you quickly max out of what your job field or band can make. The only way to make more then is to transfer positions to move laterally in the company or organization. That is the only way to get a raise or advance in many work places in todays world. I have had to take sideways and even downwards transfers to get to the level I am at now where 20 years before you’d get there just from hard work and staying in place. Max out pay, apply to a new position and ask for a bit more, rinse repeat.

    That is done on purpose to make people replaceable and remove instutional knowledge so that all of that can be held by the eternal middle manager class we’ve created. HR making operational decisisons instead of just signing off on paychecks.
