They all want to advance as soon as they arrive, and think they are God's gift to everything because parents of the last 20 years have been raising their sons and daughter to believe they're special little princes and princesses, and deserve everything in world because they are breathing. I sound like an old man, but this is what I saw, and it scares me for the future of the country.
I know every generation thinks kids are fucked up, but this current crop are useless carcasses taking up space.

Yep. Same here.
When I had started at the phone company out of college. I was in the first class of new hires in more than a decade. Most of the people there were lifers, and oldies.
Over time, they had started a mass hiring spree bringing in, literally, 150-200 new people into the office over 18-24 months. By this time, I was a union steward. So I would get to sit in on a lot of the firings, and have to file grievances for all these people. It was fucking crazy.
Now keep in mind, this was almost 8+ years ago now. But even then, they were some of the worst. Worst attitudes of entitlement, work ethic, and whiners ever. It was simply insane.
Keep in mind, where I live. There are not a ton of $50,000.00-75,000.00 top craft jobs in this area. So getting fired from some job you are going to top out in 5 years (if you start at bottom, no college, no experience) and make a good living with no comparable job is nuts. But there were plenty who did not care.
Not just the straight out of college idiots. But those single mothers, and others with families. That was the part that surprised me most. People with families, and mouths to feed to just did not give a flying fuck.
