Report: 95% Of Grandfathers Got Job By Walking Right Up And Just Asking

Fun story my history teacher told us: his grandfather during the industrial revolution walked past a flyer which said “looking for smart strong boys” so he went into the factory, said “i’m strong and smart”, and he had that job from age 13 to 78

and this is why they expect the younger generation to simply “get a job” ahh it’s so much clearer now

#basically everyone aged Baby Boomer and up #still can’t wrap their heads around the fact that there’s no such thing as ‘just walking in’ anymore #like the majority of jobs you’d actually want require online applications and you’re lucky to get a rejection email  (via halffizzbin)

Here’s another fun story: My boss decided to slap my work phone number on all the ads we post looking for newspaper carriers. So I receive a bunch of calls from people looking for jobs. Working only part time, I’m not usually there when they call, so they have to leave a message and I take their info to pass on to my boss. Sometimes it can be weeks before my boss calls any of these applicants back, if at all. How the callers respond to not getting a callback varies. Most don’t do anything, but some call again. If the person sounds young, they may leave another message clarifying their qualifications and reaffirming their interest. If the person is old, and I can always hear it in their voice, they respond by getting mad, threatening to cancel their newspaper subscription, and occasionally swearing. The older generation is used to getting a callback, and an immediate one, so they throw a tantrum when they don’t get what they want.

And everyone calls Millennials entitled.

Mind. Blown.

This is great info, but the way the headline is phrased made it sound like they got the job of being a grandfather by walking right up and just asking

Let’s also talk about how everyone expects us to be able to “go get a job” including the generation that made that utterly impossible. The boomers did started all this bullshit with unpaid internships, qualifications that not applicant could feasibly have and disrespecting us so hard they don’t even call back to say they’re not interestsed.
