I'll save you time. The reasons are exactly what you would expect. Unprofessional, unmotivated, incessantly late, disorganized, and can't speak in a professional manner. These are the college grads, not the high school grads.

Here is the thing. You know...things change. The work landscape isn't the same anymore anyway. With new technology that has come to light, especially AI, the mental paradigm of 'work' has shifted. I have gen z kids. Them and their friends are extremely motivated. They are just motivated to live life on their terms. They were raised by previous generations who were always under the delusion that you should work your *** off so you can make other people rich. They are telling the current environment to go pound sand with that ****. They will work their *** off to make themselves rich....good for them. That attitude is long overdue. 

Bosses are firing Gen Z grads just months after hiring them—here’s what they say needs to change

I do believe that Gen Z grads should work their *** off making other people rich.  For a little while.  Watch.  Learn.  Copy.  Make your self useful.  Then make yourself necessary.  Move up the chain of command. Make yourself necessary again.  Then...........leave.  By this time, hopefully you have made a network of a few trusted colleagues and start your own business.  Whatever it is, that should be the goal.  At some point, the right point, you quit making other people rich, and make yourself successful.  Then, you hire newbies to make money for you. 

We are all Masters and Servants. The only difference in 2025 America as opposed to 1700 England, is that family status does not have to define who you are and what you can become.  You are free here to define that for yourselves.
