Gen Z is Getting FIRED.

Clownfish TV: Audio Edition

🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com 6 in 10 companies have already fired recent college grads hired in 2024, with 1 in 7 considering not hiring new graduates in 2025 due to concerns about their preparedness, communication skills, and professionalism. Gen Z employees often lack practical real-world experience and struggle with the transition from structured education to less structured work environments, requiring more guidance and hand-holding from employers. Companies are using the economic downturn as a pretext to lay off employees deemed ineffective, including activists, lazy workers, and those perceived as entitled, rather than directly addressing performance issues. The revival of apprenticeships is suggested as a solution to provide hands-on experience and teach trades or crafts, countering the trend of universities charging high prices for degrees that don’t adequately prepare students for the workforce. The expectation that a college degree guarantees a job is considered a myth, with many degrees leading to significant debt and underemployment, while certain professions like teaching, medicine, and law still require formal education. ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com ➡️ Audio Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/ClownfishTV ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Gen Z workers are experiencing high turnover and layoffs due to perceptions of entitlement and unpreparedness, despite their positive contributions, highlighting a disconnect between their education and the demands of the workforce. 00:00 Gen Z workers are being fired en masse due to perceptions of entitlement and unpreparedness in the workforce. 01:47 Gen Z workers face high turnover as companies fire them for perceived lack of preparedness and professionalism despite their positive cultural contributions. 03:15 Gen Z faces skepticism from employers due to perceived unpreparedness for the workforce, exacerbated by a lack of practical experience and structured training opportunities. 05:05 Gen Z is facing layoffs as companies target younger workers perceived as entitled and disruptive due to their work-life balance priorities and activism. 06:58 Companies are firing Gen Z employees, citing economic factors and perceptions of underperformance despite tech firms’ record profits. 08:26 Many graduates are unprepared for the real world due to ineffective education, leading to doubts about their employability. 09:19 Many graduates face underemployment and debt despite their degrees, highlighting the need for practical apprenticeships over traditional education. 10:28 Many in Gen Z face challenges in the workplace, but it’s important to recognize that not everyone fits the negative stereotype.
