AFewBricksShy posted:You're in that weird half generation that I am, which is the tail end of the X and beginning of the Millenials. I don't seem to have that much in common with gen x, but also have not much in common with millenials either. I've seen it referred to as the Oregon Trail generation which is a stupid name but it does seem to be a good baseline if you're in that time period (which would be you played Oregon Trail on a computer in grade school) Holy poo poo, that works perfectly. Oregon Trail it is.

Yea gently caress working on weekends. If my boss asked me to work on weekends I'd laugh in his face. I took this job under certain conditions and if they want to change them now they can either fire me or go gently caress themselves. This is by no means an indicator that I have a sense of entitlement and security bred out of a lifetime lived with zero adversity whatsoever.

I feel people are getting really worked up about this working on a weekend thing. If your job hires you to work weekends, you work them. If once in a while, when its really busy or a project is due, they ask you to work it and you have the option to say yes or no depending on circumstances.Basebf555 posted:Yea gently caress working on weekends.

This generational divide stuff is the product of experience more than arbitrary generations. A person new to the workforce is more likely to act whiny, entitled, or screw up. Some of them might grow out of being a flake as they realize the type of expectations they might need to meet. I have coworkers that encourage their kids to apply at the same job and it is often a disaster because the most important thing in my job is showing up to work on time. It's not a millenial problem, it's a new young employee problem. Typically the older new people are more reliable because their had a lifetime of learning from being screw ups, have aged out of their original career and are trying to get vested and get their pension before their body gives out.

Ride The Gravitron's post was a little ambiguous on the exact situation and doesn't say whether people knew they might be called on to work weekend nights when they took the job. Weekends are one thing, weekend nights are another. Ride The Gravitron posted:Got some drat good millennial schadenfreude from work. We recently started a weekend over night shift where all you have to duo is answer one call and watch Netflix.

The idea that you would risk losing a job because they asked you to work weekends is a luxury. Sometimes its an earned luxury, like the person who said its written into their contract. All too often its a luxury that people aren't even self-aware enough to realize they have, because they've never had to think about the negative consequences of being unemployed(because for them there would hardly be any).

"I know this really dampens your Las Vegas vacation, sir, but your wife said you have cirrhosis and you're vomiting blood, and I'm not calling you a liar, but I suspect that martini glass next to your bed has everything to do with it. Please go to the hospital, there is too much blood for our housekeepers to clean." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAQkpcHM__I Good to see LA Beast doing relatively innocuous challenges again.

Some of them might grow out of being a flake as they realize the type of expectations they might need to meet. My workplace has hired a pretty equal number of employees from both the "20s" and "40s to 50s" age ranges. I think we've had about equal rates of success with both of them. For every millennial who isn't experienced in the workforce, you've got an older adult who thinks they know what they're doing because they've been working for 35 years and get upset when told that they're screwing up.

Regardless of what the contract says, if there's a fairly obvious expectation of what the job entails (e.g mon-Fri 9-5) and it wasn't mentioned during the interview, if someone tells you you have to work on weekends you're allowed to be pissed off, demand not to do that and quit without being viewed as a piece of poo poo. Unless you're one of those 'Well the rules are the rules so I can be as big a dick as I want as long as I don'y break them' types. In which case gently caress you.

At my job we had a similar gig on Sundays where you were on site and on call but 90%of the time you'd just get 8 hours of overtime to watch football, BBQ and goof off with other Co workers. Easy money.

Sure, but what if you've got a family, or you have your life organised so that you do whatever team hobby or sport or whatever on weekends? If you do random shifts it's not so bad, but if you're doing set hours and they tell you they've changed then that's bullshit.

Just a quick warning if anyone is about to GIS his name to see what he looks like, the image search will pull up some pretty horrific photos from the fight where he originally lost his eye. The bull's horn actually came in just behind his jaw and pushed out his eye from the inside.
