It is unquestionably harder to buy a home, but there is no way to conclusively say it is harder to get a promotion.
Who does the same type of work as their parents? My father is a union worker in the aerospace industry. He has never been promoted. His job has a changed significantly in 40 years, but he has never moved up a level to be supervising others. The folks who couldn’t pivot as quickly as my father were laid off. His reward for hard work was to keep his job.
On the other hand, I have a degree and have been promoted 5 times in 14 years. My industry has existed for hundreds of years, and I know the person who held my position in the 90’s (they are long since retired). They were in their 50’s when they reached my level.
I make 4.25X’s what my father currently makes.
Maybe don’t eat Tide Pods?
Millennials and Gen who say they don’t get promoted are the ones who think they deserve to make six figures working six months out of college and they should all be EVPs of everything. You gotta put in some time and effort. The entitlement with these generations is off the charts.
The United States is an airplane and they overbooked the tickets.
It is so overbooked, passengers are competing for seats, and many who once held seats are pushed into the aisles, and other passengers sit in each other’s laps.
The ire of many of the passengers is focused on those few in first class. But because the cabin doors are open and the pilot refuses to shut them, more passengers are pushing their way in so it wouldn’t matter even if every one of the dozen first class seat were converted to economy. Spaces in the cargo hold are being opened up as fast as possible to make room, and even luggage is being thrown out. But even these methods cannot meet the exponentially growing demand for space.
With all this extra weight, the increasing mass of passengers causes increasing demand for fuel, food, and water, and waste disposal tanks. Ultimately, the plane won’t be able to take off.
Gen x and millenials make sweeping statements about things they can’t possibly know or understand.
Luckily hacky garbage “news sites” can’t get enough of it.
The system isn’t broke, it was built this way😡😡😡
Pro tip for fellow young professionals; if you don’t see regular promotions at your work in the 2 years you’re there then promote yourself: start the job hunt while working. Your current bosses might not value you, but your next ones may.
I am getting so sick of millennials and their attitude. Always walkin around like they rent the place.
