Gen Z? This bullshit has been ongoing since the early 00's. Every fucking company wants applicants with 5+ years experience straight out of the gate, with training provided by anyone else but them, and to pay the new hire as if they rolled out of their High School grad through the front door. Look to Gen Y if you want to see what's going to happen again (more self-service kiosks and useless chatbots). Many of the kids training for these jobs are going to completely abandon their chosen career track in favour of work that's responsive to their needs - things like actually responding to applications and paying their fucking rent/mortgage. I'm finding to people in their early 20's who're already sick of this shit, without a clear understanding of what's happened to the labour market.
