schema , in Millennials didn't kill the 'organization man' after all. Federal data reveals it was the boomers all along

Pay—the reason most humans work—remains a major motivator today. When consulting firm McKinsey earlier this year asked workers why they took a new job, nearly all groups gave the same No. 1 reason: More pay.

Getting a new job is usually the easiest way to get a raise, with pay for job switchers consistently rising faster than for those who keep the same job

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I have the very slight suspicion that it’s not actually the workers to blame for not staying at a company their whole life.

WarmSoda ,

Correct. It’s not the millennials, or gen x, or even boomers. It’s assholes that don’t want to pay people.

bobman ,

Pretty much.

The only difference is how much each generation realizes what’s going on. Surprise surprise, as the disparity in wealth grows, more people are realizing we shouldn’t support it.

Exactly. I'd bet good money most people don't get enjoyment out of job hopping, but it's almost necessary these days because companies have become increasingly disloyal and stingy towards employees.

If companies would just offer decent raises, meaningful career progression, and two-way loyalty, I'd bet most folks wouldn't job hop at all!

bobman ,

Yeah. I’d much rather stick with the same company for 30 years improving what I do the entire time.

alucard ,

For sure. The founders of Silicon Valley started the trend in the 60s. I didn’t see it cited in the article. Would have been a good addition. wiki

Pheonixdown ,

I was a manager at a big bank. They were having problems with attrition, so every manager had to doing a dumb HR class about retention. During the class, they asked us how we thought we could improve the retention rate. My immediate response was pay more and drop their policy of focusing on paying bonuses over giving raises. The HR person was dumbfounded and we spent the whole time talking about trust exercises…

Fuck the rich.

BastingChemina ,

There is a contract that is broken today

The implicit contract used to be

  1. the employee stays in the same company for years. Staying loyal and gaining experience that benefit the company.
  2. in exchange the company is improving the life of the employee, pay raise above inflation level, better benefits and better working conditions.

Today companies refuses to do their part of the contract and complain that employees don’t do theirs.

aesthelete ,

I think everyone’s forgotten about pensions here too because it’s been so long since they were commonplace.

Pensions used to be part of the contract as well.

30mag ,

Companies like to pretend employee turnover doesn’t cost money. Training people isn’t free though and replacing a skilled worker with an unskilled worker hurts productivity.

SoylentBlake ,

Pay at levels which afforded having children, buying a house, two cars, a stay at home spouse, while vacationing once or twice every year.

And a pension. Don’t forget the pension.

We’ve falling a looooooong fucking way.

bobman ,

But hey, at least the people profiting are able to buy our government now.

RotatingParts , in Supplier Caught Distributing Fake Parts for World’s Top-Selling Jet Engine

Yet another reason not to fly.

Aliendelarge , in Millennials didn't kill the 'organization man' after all. Federal data reveals it was the boomers all along

Millenials once again serving as fall guys for the baby boomers.

PeckerBrown ,

Which was set up by the rich to deflect the heat they should have taken, but don’t worry; your generation will be vilified by the following ones as well, and the rich will still profit.

TheAmorphous ,

Generational in-fighting, racial divides, red/blue animosity, it’s all a distraction. Ain’t no war but the class war.

30mag ,

Don’t be so cynical! I think we’re really going to see some change in the government now that we got a guy in the white house who has… uhh… held a political office since 1973.

Yep. Gen X just ended up full on forgotten about. Like they forgot to pick you after school again.

chemicalprophet , in APNews: Parenting advice YouTuber Ruby Franke charged with aggravated child abuse of 2 of her 6 children

Wondering if this person is religious? I am. brb

Edit: Indeed, mormon. Religion is a cancer on society that preys on the ignorant and afraid. Capitalism seems like a carcinogen for religion.

8BitRoadTrip ,

It preys on the ignarant and fearful and keeps them captive with more ignorance and fear.

TopRamenBinLaden ,

On top of that, religions like Christianity give terrible people an excuse to do immoral things, as much as Christians would like to believe the opposite. They can just pray for forgiveness, even for heinous unforgivable acts like murder and rape, and they seriously believe that they will spend eternity in heaven.

Heaven must be full of child molesters and serial killers who said some magic words, at least according to their own beliefs.

ICanDoHardThings ,

Have you ever watched the Libertine? That movie drives the point home so well.

Blum0108 ,

Religion was poisonous long before capitalism came about.

chemicalprophet ,

Totes. I’m just saying the two have evil synergy.

WowSuchInternetz , in ABC News: Delaware man who police blocked from warning of speed trap wins $50K judgment

Improper use of hand signal charge for the middle finger made me chuckle. Two first amendment infringements in one encounter though? This officer needs to learn what the first amendment is and how it works.

philomory ,

Yeah, that’s actually genuinely funny. The rest of it is fucked.

The cop knew it was bull shit. He wanted to inconvenience the guy.

UltraMagnus0001 ,

“Douglas is heard saying that even if the charge would be dropped, it at least “inconvenienced” Guessford.”

They should get charged for inconveniencing the court

Why can’t these assholes just go enjoy their Saturday like everyone else? Always worried about what other people are doing.

Don’t like drag shows? Don’t go! Go fishing or go see a movie. Go buy some Let’s Go Brandon flags. You can do whatever makes you happy as long as it doesn’t interfere with others right to do the same.

Miserable dorks.

Hey, I resent that, I’m a miserable dork! Let’s call them precisely what they are: close minded, freedom-hating, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, fascistic douche canoes.

Coreidan , in Supplier Caught Distributing Fake Parts for World’s Top-Selling Jet Engine

Enshitification continues. For awhile there I thought aviation was the safest industry, due to standards.

Clearly there are no standards anymore and it’s just another industry that’s rotting away thanks to greed and a severe lack of empathy.

I guess I’ll start reconsidering commercial flying.

hobovision ,

This is a sign that there are extremely right safety standards and lots of oversight. The amount of documentation needed for all aerospace parts means it is quite difficult to falsify records for long without getting caught. The fact that any of these types of event are big news and often result in arrests should help you be confident that the standards are real and enforced. There will always be bad actors, and finding them like this is part of reality. Just look at the safety record of commercial aviation to see proof that the system is working.

PsychedSy ,

Finished parts are much harder to verify without damaging them or the finish. We do get training on identifying counterfeits, though.

Planes are still highly over-engineered.

seang96 ,

I assume with the strict documentation on parts being put on planes they will have to replace or review any part that came from this distributor?

PsychedSy ,

Not sure. Prolly depends on their investigation. If it’s one guy covering his ass that’s different than a manager pushing it as a normal thing. Anything fabricated had to be bought-off/stamped by someone, so they should be able to sort it out.

InverseParallax ,

Absolutely, and other distributors will likely have to confirm their chain of provenance, and new procedures will be added for additional part tracking.

They 100% do not screw around with this stuff, ever.

Both the FAA and Boeing should be ashamed.

Plane doesn’t work? Eh software will fix it. Software is always rock solid

Treczoks ,

Well, the standards are still there, but if people don’t adhere to them, profits happen, so they gladly take some … mishaps into their calculation.

30mag ,

Clearly there are no standards anymore

I’d like to hear how you think they caught this with no standards.

surewhynotlem ,

Slowly. That’s how.

bizzle ,
@bizzle@midwest.social avatar

People are always saying “I don’t know about Bizzle, that dude won’t fly.” If I can’t drive there, I won’t go. You really should consider it, there are a lot of really cool things that you will only ever find out about when you drive past it on a state highway. It somewhat limits my destinations, but North America is a big place that I’ve yet to see all of so I don’t mind so much.

eee ,

Even our great-grandparents’ generation endured weeks-long voyages on steamships to get to other places and cultures.

people will worry so much about this but will elect the same people over and over again to lead based on shirt color just because they change the shirt to red or blue same clothing factory

maybe younger people from a new political party might be able to help or rioting in the streets or something

If the GOP didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any at all.

They go on and on about the first amendment, moan about private businesses even treading near to their first amendment right, but yet they're more than happy to curbstomp everybody else's they disagree with. Dirty bigoted hypocrites.

Laws for them exist only to be used against those they don't like. That's the bottom line.
