thank you for mentioning that you would rather underpay foreigners than pay your countrymen a liveable wage. you conservaturds always expose the corrupt version of capitalism you support. i'm gonna use this vid to show even more gen Z'ers and millenials how y'all think, and why they need to escape the rat race as soon as possible. thank you so much!👍

I saw my dad pursue the "stability" route. He was "laid-off" probably 20 times. Now he & my mom are divorced and neither can afford to even come close to retirement. Not for me, no thank you. I feel absolutely ZERO loyalty for an employer beyond doing the job I'm paid to do. And don't even get me started on their "diversity" programs. I want to do a job (preferably remotely, if possible), and leave and live my own life. My job is not my family. My job is not my religion. My job is not my community. My co-workers are not my friends. My job is not a political outlet. My job is MY JOB. End of rant.
say it louder for the people in the back!
Yes 👏
AMEN
Wow thats a great attitude.
That’s good, because A.I. will end up taking allot of jobs off the table. We will see if the energy stays the same once jobs aren’t so plentiful.
If millennials didn't change jobs every couple of years, they'd end up making something like half as much. The boomer way of sticking with the same job for 40 years is gone because employers think they can get away with skimping on raises even though they'd pay more to hire a new person.
100% - it's a false narrative Boomers make against Millennials. These are the same people who ostracize Millennials for living at home and renting - when they all bought their houses for what would now be $50K 20 years ago and now its worth $2M.
There not making that much more job hopping tho! Especially if it’s the same position!
I didn’t even realize I was a millennial at 37, so I kno for a fact! Ppl are not making that much more money job hopping! Majority of the ppl around my age don’t even make good money!!!!!
@@reese85you’re wrong buddy.
@@reese85 Yea this is very incorrect.
Also if boomer bosses want millennials to stay, they need to pay us inflation comparable wages that THEY made in our positions
There is absolutely nothing wrong with quitting a job and trying to find one you like more.
Only issue is when job offers a pension, years of service matter.
Years worked x 1% x Annual salary.
There's quite a lot that could be wrong with quitting a job and trying to find one you like more. This generation makes me laugh. It's like responsibility and needs take a back seat to pleasure and emotion. At some point we have to recognize that there are needs which require sacrifices and compromises. Quitting a job because you don't "like it" is not a valid reason at all. There are legitimate reasons for switching jobs/careers, but that isn't one of them.
I’d happily take 60k for the remote work btw

who says there is something wrong ?
We are all quitting because Dave had encouraged us to get better paying jobs and oay off these darn student loans!
"No, not like that!" Middle managers, probably.
Pay every penny twice.
@@chompachangas true
I find it ironic that Dave’s young commentators comment that no one wants to work or get technical jobs but all they are doing is sitting and talking into a microphone.
@@recabitejehonadab2654😂😂😂 spot on.
2020 taught me one thing. I owe no loyalty to a job. They will cut me in a heartbeat despite being there for 20+ years if the going gets tough.
Yup. Your just a number.
What happened to you?
Nothing wrong with changing jobs to find something better. Most corporations won't show you any loyalty no matter how long you work there; you don't owe them any better.
Especially after seeing how Google did their 20 yr vets
For sure!!!!!
@@blacktea69 what happened with them?
@@kbanghart they got fired via email and locked out of their accounts. Someone was on a company trip overseas with a client and her company card was cut off, they canceled her return flight home.
Facts
When you have a company that tells you " in here, we are all family" ... Run away. 😆
Lol
I'm a software engineer who's been working full time from home for nearly a decade. My company also has development teams in India that cost 25 cents on the dollar vs onshore developers. We have to rewrite most of the code that gets churned out by the India teams due to poor quality. Overseas might be cheaper, but you get what you pay for.
Period!
Ditto...good and cheap don't belong in the same sentence!
I concur. I work in the intellectual property for a German company and the IN quality is terrible...
So indians create more jobs for Americans
The company must think it's working for them to continue doing it that way.
Ken is missing the fact that it doesnt matter if you telework or not, if the company can offshore your job they will.
Can't you blame them?! The entitlement is insane in these young generation.
Certainly will.
@@tdgdbs1 Because wanting a job that pays the bills, allows them to spend time with their family and not kill themselves is so much entitlement.
It's not just the young generation. I have a team that works from home but we have an office. He hire, older lady, said she took the job because she thought it had flexibility to take care of her kids and work at her mom's when she could. That's not why we hire work from home personnel. It's considered a benefit and not an entitlement. SMH
Exactly... I had this happen but was able to transfer b4 getting laid off, this was back in 2017
Part of what kept our parents and grandparents around for decades was promise of a pension at the end. With those becoming increasingly rare, there's less motivation of making your career at one company.
Yep. You get another job you just change 401k. Almost every job has one now.
My husband will be retiring in July of this year with a NY State Pension. But yes the days of pensions are going away. But if you live in NY State you can still get a good state job with a good pension at the end.
@@elcheekoful A 401K is in no way the same as a real pension. A 401K is an employer giving you a little bit of money you can take to the casino. A pension is knowing you will get a certain paycheck from the day you retire until you die.
@@kenofken9458 if... Big if... The pension remains solvent.
@@jmb-cm7mr I hope for you sake that New York will be able to pay that pension for the rest of your life. The demographics of your state isn't on your side.
Why are y’all focusing on people “quiet quitting” when hundreds of thousands of people have been quietly laid off by these major companies. These companies don’t value their workers and the younger generation is fully aware of it. No point in staying where you’re not valued 🤷♀️
Many millennials are changing jobs right now because of remote work and increased flexibility. Pay is a factor but flexibility is bigger. If you have a young family and want to buy a house, the neighborhoods and suburbs near corporate locations are no longer affordable. So people end up moving further and further outside metro areas to find affordable housing. As a result, workplace flexibility or outright remote work become a must. Commutes are not what they used to be because housing prices are ridiculous. That’s the story, not just salary.
I’ll also say: give people a break. The worst inflation in decades, insane housing prices, a pandemic with all sorts of ripple effects in mental health and education among other things, a looming recession. Everyone’s just trying to make it work. A lot of times that means changing jobs to improve your odds. It’s not just about bumping your salary and working in pajamas.
This is such a good point. The higher cost of everything and people fleeing big cities for safety reasons means those employees resent traveling long distances to a job that can just as efficiently be performed from home while saving them time and money.
Low pay, leave for someone who will pay.
Be worth getting paid more.
@@stevenruyf4044 okay. So if someone was working at McDonalds, all they gotta do is be worth getting paid more & suddenly, they can work in the drive thru & make $35 an hour? Shows how much you know.
Doesn't work with fast food unless you move up to franchise owner. Chick Fila owners make $400k a year.
@@francismarion6400 it doesn’t work for any job. The unemployment rates don’t lie, and there’s a reason for that.
@@VMarieJx3 ....he's referring to professional jobs and I just found out I'm getting low balled, so I'm extremely upset.
With the cost of living I'm not surprised they are quitting their jobs. Back in my days when I started working late 80s, it was kind of frowned upon if you quit jobs regularly. The boomers would think you're an idiot. However it's called moving on to greener pastures. These gen z and millenial generations don't tolerate staying in a job for life and being miserable.
My dad hated that my sister kept quitting, but she would get better paying jobs. He was born in '41, she in '69.
Excessive micromanagement, low compensation, poor leadership/no loyalty, I can see why the modern corporate workplace is such a mess
If we really need electricians and carpenters SOOOOO BAAAAAD then Ramsey and his podcast buddies can go work those jobs and stop telling younger people to go work jobs they clearly aren’t interested in doing.
The biggest problem with work these days is leadership and pay. Toxic leaders and low pay do not make younger people feel inspired to help build and strengthen their country, just makes us not care as much.
Or be a self employed Plumber. They bank the money!
People don't understand the other side of being a trades worker. It's not all roses and it's DEFINITELY not for everyone
Excuses. Young people are far too entitled. They think after paying 100k for their degree they will come out of college making 100k. Not how it works.
Companies that outsource jobs should get taxed to the highest extent if your in America you have to pay to play in America
just tried of working long hr's and being paid bread crumbs, lets face it $20/hr is not a living wage anymore..... plus opportunities are way more limited these days
Sounds like a fresh out of college beginning wage. Gotta start somewhere though.
If you can’t live on $20/hr, you’re doing something wrong
Not true I make $22.50/hour the only debt I have is my mortgage and that takes half of my income for a three bedroom townhouse in utah. The price of food keeps going up as well. We make it work but it definitely isn't easy.
It depends on location. I'm making $15 an hour but there's plenty of overtime so I can pull decent checks. I'm supporting a wife and kid and I'm not hurting.
Honestly, the living wage is all dependent on where you live and your cost of living. I'm in Arkansas and 20 an hr here is different than 20 an hr in California or Washington or New York. I've made a living scaping by with 16 due to my commute and rising gas prices. If no commute, 16 wouldn't be scraping by, but at least livable here.
My mom worked for and retired from one of the largest health insurance companies. 20 years ago they closed the office and sent everyone home to telework before it was really a thing. Nobody's pay was cut nor offshored. I understand being aware of what they're stating, but I'm not a fan of the fear mongering going on.
Boomer just quit my job, ok, I retired early. Debt free and living on investments.
Congratulations 🎊!! Enjoy it:)
The same people who say take self-responsibility and pull yourself up by the bootstraps, are saying that all their problems are other peoples fault. It cant get any better than this.
Exactly!
Just don't be a victim...
A huge factor is that companies are only hiring part-time help so they don’t have to pay for health insurance. At those same companies, there are executives making millions. Make it make sense.
That’s been my problem. No matter how much I do for companies, getting full time with them has been really hard. Back when the affordable care act was put into place, my work hours got cut so I wouldn’t get even near the amount of hours they’d have to legally give me insurance for. That’s still an issue.
For me the biggest reason (or at least one) is that people treat you like absolute garbage and expect your absolute, undying loyalty (i.e. 24/7/365 availability notwithstanding your health or your family's) even though they only pay you minimum wage or slightly more. For example my son was just born and I needed a month off of work because my wife had a C section and we don't have anyone to turn to in our city, but they only gave me a week and even then my boss asked if I could come in for a day or two during that week.
It's stressful, it's exhausting, and we don't want to deal with that for 30+ years
Sounds like how life works 🤔😂
That's not on the company to line up care for your family ahead of time, to be fair to them.
Now you’d have a right to family leave for months on end. While colleagues get burned out and resentful, compensating for others taking repeated family leaves to have three kids.
@@LisaPFrampton Only if you're fool enough to play a rigged game.
Thank you🙏
As a Millennial I'm glad the next generation is getting picked on as hard as my generation did.
Boomer here. It always aggravated me when millennials were picked on. Most of the ones I know were good and productive.
I'm a millennial too. Anytime I heard them picking on our generation, I was always like wait a minute we aren't all like that. Every generation has had their bad and good.
I still get attacked when I go purchase a latte 🤣🤣 Millennials were always accused of not saving and buying coffee instead 🤣
As a millennial I don't, end the cycle.
As a grass, youve been cutting picked on and cut down for years. People have no respect for your life. Sorry for what you must go through
Agree with him about the trades. I think it can be encouraged in high school.
I love how this toxic advice is covered up with morality. Work is more than a paycheck! While I do agree that you should find a job that you enjoy doing that gives you purpose beyond just the money AND you should consider that when switching, I think we all know that people would not do most jobs for free. A persons time is the most valuable thing we have and no one should work for an employer who is underpaying you for your time long term even if it’s for a job you love. Most people also have to leave to get a promotion as those are hard to get in house. All that to say please stop punching down on people who are trying to find a better job. If more jobs were palatable from the standpoint of nontoxic culture, good managers, decent compensation, and growth prospects then no one would have to leave.
Well said!
He doesn't want to admit that the paycheck is THE POINT OF WORKING!
I'll tell you why I struggle with jobs. They expect way too much for too little compensation. At least here in the UK. I'm a hard worker but it honestly feels like you get abused if you are. Ever been so good at your job you get to do everyone else's, essentially
It's the same in the U.S.
Yep. That's why I do the bare minimum.
Yes absolutely agree. My mom is a retired nurse and she always told me to take a skilled labor job that a computer could not do! I tell you the truth, I worked as a tech in the hospital and made nearly 70k. I later decided to go back to school and earned an MA In Teaching, and geez I did better working in the hospital.
Skilled labor , ABSOLUTELY !!!
Congrats
What do you mean? More flex working in tech?
@@amarjotsingh8455 your dealing with more unruly and disrespectful student who go undisciplined. The parents who think they're children can do no wrong or get wedge into your job of teaching while they think your wedding into how they parent. And oh the Administrations, oof.
Dare you to go back to the hospital....?
Quitting?! There are thousands of layoffs coming in the tech industry. This is the first time some of these young people will ever face losing a job.
They will have a welcome to the real world...they will need to refocus...retool..re train and move on. The world is not all sunshine and rainbows.
@@misterb5926yes, i refocused on myself and did the bare minimum at work; retooled so i could build a business that i sold to escape the rat race, and retrained myself to work in data science and now work two weeks per month for $150k per year, *remotely.*
Out of sight out of mind isn’t going to change things. If you work for a big Corp but your office has 50 people, they won’t hesitate to shut it down and give your job to a remote worker across the world if they are able. The idea that being in a physical office will secure your position is nothing more than wishful thinking.
Great point! But Ken makes it sound like offshoring is something new. Welcome to 2001 Ken! Companies have been trying it (many times unsuccessfully) for many years. Sometimes it works, many times it doesn’t and it ends up being more expensive.
If you think loyalty is lousy in the US, you haven’t seen anything when you work for an offshore team in India.
I do appreciate what he is trying to say and it’s valid to a certain degree, however the reality is that if your not valued from your employer remotely then your not valued in person. Perhaps Ramsey solutions runs there business a different way and that’s great if they do. But I know a few big corps that only really care about their headquarters. Here in Canada where I live Toronto is the hub and if you’re in a physical office across the country they couldn’t care less about offloading you.
There’s no loyalty from company to worker anymore so best wishes to individuals who put their careers first.
In my area plumbing, welding, mechanic companies charge $150 plus an hour yet complain they can't fill the positions for $12 an hour. Some other employers complain they can't find minimum wage part time workers on 24 hr call when gas cost the worker more to do that job. That's reality. Inflation is a major factor as well as overseas outsourcing.
Poor leadership and compensation are a major blow to good work ethic. When you realize how much time, effort, energy and how much of yourself you've invested in a boss who would stab you in the back in a heartbeat. How do I reclaim my drive and motivation to excel when it's never acknowledged?
The big difference is that a “boomer “ I had a pension as a motivational reason to stay put. Now that I am collecting that pension I to can move around. It’s really refreshing.
Pensions are gone so that's why my generation has to chase the highest wage
Years ago, part of the work ethic was “We work to keep your family alive and stay free.” Today, work is more about self-gratification than simply surviving. I’m a Gen-Xer, and the whole reason I work is so I can have a nice retirement.
Noone wants to work....But companies are laying off by the thousands?? 🧐
Everyone, including these guys, always talks about how we need more people to go into the trades but no one wants to actually do it themselves. They just tell other people that it's a good idea if they do it. Fact is, no one wants to crawl around on their hands and knees for a job. That's why no one is going into the trades anymore.
Yup, the trades include a lot of hard, physical labor and pay is very relative, too. I’ve been working as a welder for five years now, and there are people who work at a Walmart DC that make more money than I do and I’m in a union shop. Other private shops only offer similar wages, as well. I am going to get a different job this year, in a separate field, because the only way I can earn more money as a welder is to either travel extensively or open my own business. Tired of my body getting so beat up from work and being in pain, too.
How come Dave’s commentators are not working a technical job? Just blabbering opinions on the air that doesn’t take a genius to know and Dave pays them!!
@@TheJamieKahn the trades are like teaching jobs. Everyone says they appreciate them and they should be paid more and they even encourage young people to take those jobs but the little secret is they are the people with an actual nice job. They themselves aren't going to take one if those jobs in a million years just like theses hosts. Politicians are the same way.
@@aribbonatatime This is about the realest comment I've read on here in a while. All federal facts.
@@TheJamieKahn sounds like you need a change. My company pays fabricators $45/hr.
Gen Z & Millennials know their worth and are a blessing to break the mundane working cycle
There is purpose for work: to earn money to pay bills. The real reason why younger people change jobs regularly is to make more money. It's a fact that people who regularly switch jobs make TWICE AS MUCH as those who remain loyal to their employers. It would be a mistake to call them flaky, flighty, or stupid. I totally respect where they're coming from.
Personal opinion, not data driven: younger millennials and gen z have been raised by social media companies as activists. The reason that they are searching for companies to align with their values is because they have been indoctrinated with the religion of political activism.
So what if they are? They have freedom of association just like anyone else.
Yup , younger generation wants to live in fantasy land.
Gen Z “I’m going to take a year off to find myself”
Gen X “Get back to work”
Lol 😆
Me: Points at Gen Z. "Right there you are. See? I saved you the trouble of having to look."
Generation X here, 1965. I agree 100% 😂😃
💀💀💀💀
This right here is the problem. How can you expect someone to not believe they are just working in vein if they don't know who or what they are. It seems the only real way people are actually going to pay attention to Gen Z's needs is if everything collapses. Even then, who knows anyway?
Work is still about survival. If you love your job that IS great, but it's much better if your job meets the needs of your family.
Dave Ramsey, "Hey, somebody has to do the loser jobs. Just not me."
As someone that worked in finance and handled monthly closeouts for a division. I've seen outsourced departments that were less productive the majority of the time when compared to an efficient department ran here stateside.
Add that to all the additional cost in the other country that companies don't take into account like taxes, energy, fuel, customs fees, shipping, turnover, lower quality of products/service, etc.
Outsourcing works fine for clothing/apparel, and cheap products. However I hate calling customer service that is outsourced to another country. They usually have limited power to assist the customer, and you often times feel like the company doesn't care about your issue.
Seeing Ken have confidence and speaking up when Dave’s not around is interesting 🤔 If Dave was there he would barely let Ken finish a sentence 😅
He knows who butters his bread 😅
Dave would call millenials babies
Dave if a bit of an egomaniac who's on his high horse all the time, when your boss is that kind of guy you tend to walk on eggshells around him, exactly what Ken does. In all cases his confidence doesn't do Ken any good because about 50% of the time he does reasonable advice the other 50% he just talks absolute nonsense and it sometimes extremely rude, even worse than Dave, which is uncalled for, unprofessional and a severe character flaw he should work on
How is that interesting? Ken is able to blossom and be his BEST version. Walking on eggshells around Dave is cringeworthy and if Dave is unfairly treating his 'family co-hosts' then he needs to sort himself out if he still wants to maintain a strong platform after her retires from the show. I find no amusement with this comment.
I like seeing all the member's personalities come out.
I’m a millennial doing this - leaving a job that pays $40/hr with no chance of raises to one that pays $55+/hr with less paperwork. Survival of the fittest 💪🏼
I wish I had my old job. Made twice as much. Didn't get the jab so now I work at a miserable office making half of what I use to make instead of helping take care of people. It's not fun.
Capitalists when you complain about pay or your boss: Just find a new job
Capitalists when you get a new job: Job hopping isnt good.
No college for thee, but certainly for me. I've found that most, if not almost all parents suggesting to people the value of technical schools don't have their own kids go that route. Why not?
The outsourcing to India for cheaper labor started long before hybrid / remote work arrangements became more mainstream.
A lot of stuff is getting onshored because the quality coming out of the Indian callcenters is so bad. Not in every case but in many.
They’ve tried to do it in the tech industry multiple times, and it’s always failed. I’m not worried
And not all remote jobs are endanger. Some things have to be done stateside. For example, I work as an insurance claims adjuster and by law you have to be licensed for certain states and a us citizen so while I work remotely, it can't be done off shore.
Thats right and it has failed so many times. Seen it myself.
Moving is the best thing you can do if you want to make money. I got a full time remote job while in college and was able to swap after a year for a 50% raise
Working from home is great.
@@mocheen4837 it teaches bad work ethics and you won’t learn how to work with others.
In what job ?
" It's about THEIR success , not YOUR status..." Powerful and true.
I don’t think people quit their “jobs”. They are usually just firing management. Most people get another job in the same field of work.
We're done getting ripped off by employers, scare tactics of hiring cheaper won't work on us. If you move most of those jobs offshore, there will eventually be national consequences for that as well. Pay people fairly and people will stay it's pretty simple
I'm planning on quitting my job this year. My main reason is that I want to relocate to a different state. But I'm not leaving my current job till I have a replacement job.

@@wtk6069 hilarious, you guys can’t keep California off your mouth 😂
@@eos_2366 its funny. They act like I choose to live where I live. I was born in Illinois. I don't have to say where I was born at.
Meh, I disagree with Ken on so many levels here. First of all, US companies offshored jobs such as those in manufacturing where you couldn't even work remotely even if you wanted to. A company can have an amazing mission and a culture that you agree with and still fail to pay you well, in which case you are better off finding another opportunity. If employers cared about your loyalty that much, getting interviews and switching jobs for more pay would be much more difficult today.
I am 30 years old and done everything agro work, building work, factory work and office job.And let me tell you. Who wants to do body work for minimum wage for 40 years old insted of being in the office with a/c or working from home and don't even wake up early to go to the job and pay fuel...
What Gen Z is missing is the trades is exactly the kind of work that you make a connection with. I work in the trades and I've never had a more fulfilling career. The opportunities for career advancement are much higher when there's less competition also.
The trades are not paying good wadges I went to school for heating and air Conditioning the starting pay is 12 per hour. I making 24 driving a water truck and home everyday and over time after 40 hours.
The boomer mindset of sticking with a job for 40 years is ancient. This was at a time when pensions were a thing. Remember those?
Now it's 401K's which arguably aren't nearly as good as pensions.
Absolutely. There’s is no incentive to stay loyal with an employer with no pensions and they lay off at the drop of a dime.
The remote work comment is invalid. Remote work has been possible for a long time. If there was ever a consideration to off-shore a job, then it would have been done a long time ago. Coming from someone who works in IT, remote solutions (VPN, cloud, mobile device management, etc.) have been available for over a decade. People could have worked from home more, but culturally that wasn't really considered. Time and time again, RS fails to give valid reason behind their remote work stance.
You care correct. My team works remote and surprise we get more done! Not to mention everyone is actually happy. So much BS wasted time just to sit and dang office.
I think members of every generation want to have purpose in their work. It’s good this generation can have that option. When I entered the work force jobs were hard to find and my passions were not going to pay the bills.
If it's not YOUR COMPANY then you're not valuable. It's not your money it's their money.
In my area skilled trades people are not highly respected. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. That’s why I quit being a Machinist and took a job as a General Laborer. I am treated much better than I ever was as a Machinist. Sadly I have to say that abandoning the skilled trades several years ago has been a great decision.
My close friend who's the father of 2 is trying to find a 5 bedroom house in Atlanta GA and its a nightmare. His 2 children are a boy and a girl, they are in high school so they cannot share a room. His mother was dying in the hospital of heart disease and she moved back in with her son because the company she worked 40 YEARS FOR was owned by a man who STOLE EVERYBODY'S PENSION, left, filed for bankruptcy and then died. Her and her coworkers couldn't sue anyone because there was nobody to sue, the money was gone, nobody to be held accountable. She didn't know that she was supposed to take steps to protect herself in case her boss STOLE THE ENTIRE COMPANY'S RETIREMENT. Because surely there were laws in place to protect someone like her? Some kind of insurance the government provides to keep working people safe? no, there was nothing.
My friend works from home and needs a large office for his job. He now has to go from a 3-4 bedroom, possibly apartment, to a 5 bedroom ranch style home (for wheelchair access) that can support this giant family he's now saddled with because of the negligence of our country. And his children are *seeing* this, and they don't want to be involved in a system that deliberately neglects the needs of their family. He anticipates that they will have to live with him in order to survive here, but I wouldn't be surprised if they grew up and immediately left the country.
Now that we have the information of the world on our fingertips, we know what the entire system *actually* looks like. We don't want to be mindlessly tricked into participating in a society that we can obviously see does not value us. We're not having babies, and we're not staying loyal to any job. Everything in this country is about money. Healthcare is about money. Shelter is about money. Mental health is about money. Relationships are about money. Being able to retire and be taken care of when I'm too feeble to function iS ABOUT MONEY. Money money money. You know what? We're playing along now. If you cant pay me better than the other guy, I quit.
You go find a worker in India and I'll go find freedom.
Why are they so anti-Work from home?? lol…. If they are going to off shore your job, they can do that even if you are in office! if they can save half your salary, who cares if you’re coming into office?! you’re just consuming all their coffee and depreciating office furniture anyway.
They said they aren’t anti work from home towards the end of the video. They are just making people aware that you are at a higher risk of losing your job if you are a remote worker which is backed up by data on the topic. “Out of sight, out of mind”. I worked remotely for the headquarters of one of the largest international corporations. A lot of our US work was offshored to India and while we were making 5-6 figures doing the same job, they we’re getting paid pennies over in India compared to us. So there is an actual threat because if the job can be done remotely then it can be off shored. So a safer job is one that can’t be fully remote.
@@Giordano1998 if that's the case then all jobs related to TECH can be outsourced! These jobs could always be done remotely it's just the pandemic forced companies to do it sooner. Outsourcing jobs is nothing new, if a company shareholders are more concerned with upping revenue it doesn't matter if the job is remote or not, they will do whatever they need to do to meet profits so if that's layoffs or outsourcing they will do it and that's the fact.
I’m personally against it because all the work that we’re suppose to be doing at work is being passed down to the ones that show up, while the one’s that our sitting at home are too busy taking their dogs to the vet for 80 hours of the week. It’s exhausting.
Why should workers show any loyalty to companies that will fire them the instant it is profitable to do so?
My job in TN(Check into Cash) was bought out by another company. They told us six months ago. We had nothing to worry about, they are not laying people off. Today we had a video chat meeting. We was all laid off immediately. The company is Community Choice Financial. Of Coarse they expected a 2 week Notice, if we quit, but fire us immediately.
Smh same thing with tech. they said we wasn't getting laid off then boom we get a email and our computers locks smh
@@LoverboyB_Pookie wow how nice
Whenever I hear “don’t worry”
In the workplace, I get suspicious.
Companies lie to get you in the job.
I’m so proud of Gen x millennials and Gen Z hopefully generations alpha and beta will continue destroying these corporations of parasites
Also, if plumbing is such a great profession, why didn’t Dave Ramsey, Elon Musk, and Steve Jobs work and stay there for 30+ years???
Because the greatest profession of all is owning your own business. But the vast majority of Americans aren't intelligent to make that work.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 This.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 I wouldn't say intelligent just driven. A lot of people are smart but only a few are driven to put in the work to do it. It's like how people know exercise is good for your body. You are smart but unless you are driven to put in the work to actually exercise it's a mute point.
@@TrainerAQ In America there are not very many people who could be considered smart.

I am a mechanical designer. Our company has been looking for another designer to join our team but we can't seem to find a good candidate for several months now. I keep getting offers to jump ship and work for a new company for like 30% more in salary. I love working here, but it's tempting!
Start your own business.
I’d jump for sure. America is getting too expensive.
Ask for a raise in your company, tell them other companies are offering.
“We’re like Olive Garden here.” 😂
If they wanted carpenters they should not have gotten rid of shop class
exactly. Most High Schools in America no longer focus on trades anymore.
Exactly, they totally pulled trade school. We all kno it as to keep blk folk at the bottom in my opinion. Those trades were helping blk kids.
Ken Coleman sounds like that surf dude, "Surf's up dude! Sweet moves man!"
lol loved the olive garden comment which Ken completely missed but was pretty funny :)
I switched from a corporate job in finance to helping with personal finance through a non-profit. The pay is fair and extremely more awarding, plus they invest in my personal development. Best decision I ever made.
Hi Emmy, Im based in Japan and looking to work with a good non-profit org. If possible, please share vacany website. Thanks
If employers could offshore a job without deleterious consequences to their company, they would do it regardless of how much more prevalent remote work is becoming. From what I’ve seen, remote jobs still require you to live within a reasonable commute so that when issues arise that require in person interaction it’s possible to do that without expensive flights/travel.
You have to leave if you can’t afford $9 for eggs
Making under 20 an hour is not livable. It’s a tough go.
It depends on the job and if your able to get overtime
Depends where you live
Not true at all... cope harder.
@@evr0.904 you will need a second job.
It is with no debt and a spouse that also makes $20
My bank already moved 90% of our risk management to India. It would have been 100%, but regulators require certain models to be U.S. based. Fun fact: We can’t keep our Indian workers past 18 months because they jump to new companies for better pay. It’s almost like clock work.
Let's be honest, they're quitting "normal jobs" so they can become influencers...smh
Lol
Ken would love for YOU to fill some of those blue collar jobs.
Absolutely.
Maybe we’d have more people in trades if they were more reasonable with their expectations. How does an ENTRY level position require 4+ years experience
I’m pretty sure if your company can send your job to India so someone can do it for half the pay, they will do it. Sitting in a corporate cubicle won’t save you.
Exactly!!! It won’t make a difference to them.
Offshoring jobs will only work for a lucky few companies or industries.
I don't have loyalty for job that would so quickly lay me off anytime of their choosing, not rewarding and supporting good effort, and lying to me about promoting me for years and never doing it. My kids need to eat, and if I'm not being taken care of at home, I will go elsewhere.
Absolutely.
I am in a job that's horrible. The supervisors aren't organized. The tools to do a good job isn't there..
The supervisors run you ragged. Do not get breaks.
The younger generation job hops because we realize we're just assets being used to fullfil a specific function. So we treat jobs the same now a tool to be used and thrown away when it benefits us. We also have seen the older generation suffer for the loyalty they show with no real benefits for it.
Even when you work somewhere for multiple years nowadays you’re not getting the same raises you typically would. Add that with the fact that you can get a job at target paying upwards of $20, but serious jobs that require degrees, experience, high stress and long hours may pay you $12 at most.
The only job worth staying is if you own the company and even then you might want to sell it other than that these places don’t give two sh*ts about you. Do whatever is best for you and btw no two weeks notice required ask yourself would they do the same if they fired you?
George - you do a great job giving advice. Dave would approve.
I'm a gen Z and I have been at my job over a year. I love my job but this summer a guy I went to school with decided to work with me. We became friends. Even though he works with me I'm in a leadership position in my job but he doesn't treat me that way. He says he doesn't care about the job and is just here to make a paycheck. He doesn't listen to me even though my job is to have things run smoothly. He's constantly on his phone and doesn't take me or the job seriously and it's really made things hard.
Make sure You put those updates to your superiors, so if he does a major screwup you can sit back that you warned them.
My brother got his friend a job at the company and didn’t realize he had zero ‘work ethic.’
My brother told their boss & HR it’s not working out; they let his friend go.
Management appreciates the heads up.
Lesson: don't work with your friends or families.lolololol
Go to work to do your job, not to make friends.
I mean his view is fair what do you want? He acts his wage
@@4wdboss230 I'm not trying to be friends he's the one doing that. I'm just trying to get my work done correctly.
No pension? No promotion? No commitment
No don’t label us by generations it’s either your lazy or your not simple that’s for any generation of people
It’s called statistics ! Relax !! If the shoe fits it fits

I hate the generation thing, it all seems like a marketing ploy to sell more
You're
Yeah the ones that are doing it at my job are almost 50 and all the younger ones are the one actually showing up to work.
I have my EPA 508 certificate. I was faced with trying to go into HVAC out of the Navy,, or for the same money, go into electronics. Needless to say, have been using my ISCET certificate instead. Do I want to be on the roof in 120 degree weather trying to fix an AC uint, or driving in a blizzard to fix a gas furnace? Much rather be in the shop at 72 degrees and work on the robotics equipment for lithography.
The thing that kept a lot of older generations at jobs were the lack of opportunity and the philosophy of responsibility over fun and happiness. Their is a balance in that balance but now younger generations have so much opportunity and have only grown up doing what they want to do so the idea of doing domething they don't want to is unthinkable.
It's hard to find carpenters when they don't teach it in schools anymore. In California, they took billions of dollars from the school system, cutting out electives such as metal, woodshop, mechanics. Music was still around when my son was growing up but only because parents donated a lot of money to keep it going. so now you have graduates who can use a computer but doesn't know how to build one
We quit are jobs because working for “the man” isn’t worth it. There’s far more to life and growth than having someone else place a ceiling over your head and dictating your growth for you, especially in a place you may not like. The key for Millennials and Gen Z is finding the companies that align with personal values and needs. They exist, but older generations are not paying attention to that shift in society. The terms Gen Z and Millennial have such a stigma attached to it and that’s a huge part of the problem too. Change happens so adaptation is needed on both ends.
Hey, Ken, I’m same generation as George and I’ve played musical chairs 🤣🤣🤣
