The fucking entitlement of some people. It boils my piss that people my age are trying to do the same sort of gaslighting to young people as others did to my generation.

Young people, please don't fall for it. They're just trying to get you to be a good little workhorse. My peers fell for it and they're all burnt out tired husks now.

My skin crawls whenever I hear people my age talk about "Lazy young workers." As if ten years ago people weren't saying the same shit about us. Maybe your spirit got broken and now you want to break the spirit of the next lot, I don't know. Whatever it is it annoys me.

The funny thing is, the kinds of assholes that complain about "lazy entitled sensitive workers not getting shit done" are usually the ones making the workplace less productive imo. They make everyone miserable because they turn the place into a panopticon of "am I working hard enough?" And if you joke or show any kind of joy at work you're not working hard enough so the workplace becomes depressing.

I hate generational warfare, I hate protestant work ethic, so mix the two and I become rage incarnate.

The worst part is when you get a young "pick me" who is like "I'M NOT SENSITIVE LIKE THE REST OF MY GENERATION I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT WE ARE LAZY." It's fucking sad.

EDIT: AND ANOTHER THING! It's fucking ableist too! No Darren, the kid isn't too sensitive, he has fucking PTSD.

I sent expect to and I hate when people try to read my mind. Don't try to anticipate, communicate. I'm maybe somewhere on the autism chart, dunno but I am captain adhd and running a kitchen somehow fits in with the kind of thing my brain likes doing. My favorite games are FTL and Papers Please. I've got a weird knack for logistics and can run a squad well enough I am certain I'd be kickasd guerilla but like in a war when people go off script without a quick talk or if thyre having an issue m, like my work has 2 deep fried things thar are an app and a salad add on and sometimes people forget take em our of the freezer or they just go fast and we gotta work from frozen, and it seems to escape people to tell me that and there will be a delay so I can tell the wait staff and they can tell the customer. It's a minor fuck up thar we've all made, I just need to know about it. Also I am good at food ar know a lot of work arounds for issues I get paid more cause I can solve these problems and work the delay into the flow but I need to be told about it. It's not a personal shortcoming and even if it is, it's necessary Intel.
