Gen Z is recording themselves getting fired in growing TikTok trend
Gen Z is recording themselves getting fired in growing TikTok trend
Some Gen Z workers are posting video of themselves being laid off in search of "likes," feedback and revenge.

Funny how quickly and easily the media can turn "generations" against each other
I don't care what the source is, if there's a Gen [insert whatever] or Millennials might be to blame for [insert whatever] I'm already at a -10 on the trust meter right out the gate.
I didn't try my first avocado toast until like a year ago and lemme tell ya. Seeing as how eating it somehow went back in time and made me unable to afford a house, I expected it to be a lot more magical.
Ahhh so that's why I'm broke, sometime in the future I eat avocado toast.
I see it plenty without the media stoking it. Here on Lemmy, etc.
It's the same dumb tribalism as always, often backed up by some real data or trends (that tend to get twisted)
No, not every "boomer" is spoiled and ruining America, and 75% of the people you call boomers aren't even boomers. Not every Gen Z is lazy and entitled and scrolling phones all day. Etc.
Crabs in a bucket. If we can't find the things that make us alike with our cohorts, it's going to be very difficult to ever affect any sort of change.
Boomers don't consider any generation after them "cohorts". They consider them subservient.
The median age of U.S. senators is 65. Who do you think is voting for those people?
The Boomer generation absolutely deserves to be shit on.
Who do you think refuses to vote against them?
Who the fuck would we vote for? Genocide Joe or Cheeto Mussolini? They rigged the primary against Bernie twice. Democracy is fucked in this country.
Buddy I'm not here to convince you of anything. If you wanna believe not showing up to vote is just as bad as making a conscious decision and the effort to vote for these procorporate trash ghouls in the Senate that's your choice. As for me: I choose to say Boomers are responsible for who they vote for and who they vote for is trash, so they are trash.
Good call, let's vote against genocidal Joe.
the way they alienate gen z as being "conditioned" to like social feedback on ticktok is really denigrating to me. As if every other generation was not conditioned to believe certain social taboos, mores and practices. Same old "young kids don't know shit" rhetoric. Which viewers at home will just ingest w/o any sort of critical thought process.
Also how quickly they can invent 'trends' we should be fearful of simply because some middle-aged reporter watched a couple similar videos online. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go eat some tide pods before my scheduled game of knockout.
