Funny pics and Memes thread - keep it clean

I just sent this to Home Depot: (this saga has been ongoing since June 16)


Dear Diary, Tuesday July 8. Still no grill. We are withering away and will soon perish from lack of BBQ, flame licked Burgers, or perfectly browned beer Brats. Our Larue Dillo Dust dry rub is nearing its expiration date and the Armadillo logo is fading fast.

In all seriousness,

While Brock called Saturday July 5, on a holiday weekend no less, and provided an update and great attention to this matter, performing above and beyond the call of duty, alas, here we are again on the day of promised deliverance with no status update or contact from the carrier or HD and no delivery.

To say another way. Item "found" in warehouse, promised delivery Tuesday, no delivery, no contact. Crickets.

Perhaps I should have asked WHICH Tuesday?

Sincerely,

They lost a dishwasher ‘in the warehouse’ for 6 weeks on me.
 
Among my youngest daughters friends which are all Gen Z they take time off work for the slightest reason.
From nose sniffles to my friends dog died...no loyalty at all, they also quit a job with a flick of a switch and worry about the money later,
thank god my Gen Zer has a little more work ethics than her mates.

We had an employee that spent a year in the company "Academy" as a newly minted college grad getting tuned up to be effective the workforce, then after joining our PS delivery team for just a few months, abandon his job. Ghosted it. Stopped accepting invites, replying to email, phone, text. They simply marked his position as abandoned and withheld the cost of his laptop from his final pay. He couldn't even be bothered to drop it at one of the local offices.

There was another (female) that did similar, but at least she gave notice when she found a different jerb.

Gen-z has invented "Home Cafe" (having a cup of coffee at home), "Culinary night" (eating in), etc. What a hoot.
 
I worked for many years in top management / director positions. (And I've been retired a long while.) This kind of stuff isn't just Gen Z. I had Boomers quit working, just stop showing. They'd fail to respond to certified letters, then file for unemployment once fired. I can't tell you how many times I was on the phone with unemployment "adjudicators" who would call to verify their claims. Every one of them was denied unemployment in the end for quitting.

More than once I had guys that wanted to be paid in cash only, and to do their own tax deductions (the ones employers are required to deduct by law). A few refused to work when we wouldn't do that.

I had boomers do stupid **** like racing forklifts in a warehouse, and one pierced two holes in a 40' wide warehouse door. Another shot his computer with a handgun after a phone argument with his wife. Some in offices spent half their days surfing porn, including one high level finance guy, who was supposed to be crunching budget numbers and working on business plans. One consulting sales manager tried to pull a fast one on a long-standing customer and I had to fix that. He used to tell people working for him that they had to be loyal to our company because that's what they were paid for. In reality, we paid them for the work they were doing and we hoped they'd remain loyal if we took care of them. I fired him.

I saw similar problems in each generation that worked under me. One thing I noticed is that when people were fired often no one around them realized it. Or they told stories about leaving for better pay, etc. Each generation seemed to think the next gen coming along wasn't holding up to their standards. From my direct experience, it's always been a bit more widespread.

I would agree that there are wankers in all age groups however Gen Z has that unmistakable attitude of entitlement that I can't stand and love ripping into their ass about it. Not only that but throw in some WOKE brainwashing.
