Youngest old man on TGT.
Now this is interesting, and honestly I feel well deserved.

Basically, the younger generations are ghosting companies (quitting without notice, or never showing up in the first place).
Now, let me say that I have never done this. I do try to be respectful to my employer even when they don't return that respect. BUT, I fully understand why someone would ghost their company. There's a significant lack of respect and support for employees in a sickening amount of businesses. They are seen as nothing more than replaceable bodies. There's no longer any loyalty. When employees can be fired on the spot for no reason, when their benefits suck, when they work their ass off for a $0.10 raise, and when they have to fight for a day off, why should an employer expect respect in return?
I've even heard numerous stories of people being fired within hours of giving their 2 week notice. Yeah, that's sure to encourage people to leave a job the right way...
Whether you agree with the younger generations doing this or not, you gotta admit that it's going to force companies to change how they treat employees if they want this behavior to stop. Millennial are already the majority of the workforce in America, and Gen Z will take over after them. It's going to be a very long time before the next generation takes over, and they might do the same thing. Companies really don't have a choice if they want to retain workers and foster good relationships. They are going to have to change their cultures to one that respect and has loyalty to their employees.
Respect is a two way street.
