It's true. Lower status office jobs are more technically challenging than director/VP level jobs.

As an analyst/engineer you have to build things on a shoe string budget within a few days to weeks. Many medium sized companies are reverse pyramids with more directors assigning work, than the people doing the actual work.

Good. Fuck zoomers

>>510840162
The actual problem is that as societies become more sclerotic and feminized, employment and social mobility become less dependent on demonstrating aptitude at the task in question than they do on playing the social meta-game of basically tricking your way into a position via "networking", nepotism, accumulating endless unnecessary certifications and unpaid training, learning how to game recruitment algorithms, lying on your resume, and so on. As progressively more energy needs to be dedicated to such "court politics" to get ahead, the amount of energy dedicated to actually doing the job well decreases, until you reach the end stage where most people are simply permanently disenfranchised and the remainder are basically just engaging in a neverending cocktail party where they try to bullshit and backstab each other over access to sinecures

>They lack ambition and are simple not willing to kiss the bosses ass to conform to the system we have.
The issue is they have self-worth. The boomers and gen-xers were willing to kiss ass because there were plentiful opportunities, upward mobility and the opportunity to buy an affordable home to raise a family in. With millennials, there were fewer opportunities and a shittier economy but at least some of the older ones were able to marry a pre-social media woman and get a house. As a gen z, you are completely fucked. Women are all whores, blackrock is buying up all the houses, the economy is fucked and on top of that we can't even get jobs with a "good" degree. I am NOT kissing ass just to live in this God forsaken world.

This is exactly what happened in imperial Rome: as all power and wealth came to flow from the emperor's favor and the idea of Rome as a collective project was progressively delegitimated via endless streams of slavery-derived mass immigration, the ambitious and able were required to spend the lion's share of their time courting him and basically playing game of thrones against each other, while the majority of the population apathetically toiled on massive latifundia. Thus leading in the first place to the crisis of the third century, where a procession of charismatic generals were able to motivate legions of men indifferent to "fidelity to Rome" to follow them for the chance of accessing the wealth and power from which they were otherwise shut out, and then eventually succumbing to the Germanic invasions, as imperial armies lacked the vigor to oppose them and were forced over time to militarily rely upon them, which eventually enabled them to seize power themselves

It's really gen Z men mostly. Nobody wants to hire males now unless you have experience and are established.
Women are in demand. Everybody wants to hire young women in order to fuck them. Every businesses owner and manager is now looking to hire young women fresh out of college for positions they aren't even qualified for just for a chance to fuck them. The problem is they can't find enough of these women because most women do NOT actually need to work since there are plenty of men willing to subsidize their lifestyle.
There are so many women enrolled in college on the dime of their sugar daddies it's unreal, then later on they are kept in apartments as fuckmeat for business owners, managers and everybody else who has money and is willing to finance their lifestyle.

A degree is just an easy ticket into the club. In some of these corporate environments a degree bypasses all the shit jobs and puts you into an environment where everyone has degrees and common ground. So they gatekeep certain positions. I worked for a tech company as a grunt and they were talking about automating my job and even though I'm not really a coder I automated it myself. They could've easily give me some training and put me into the tech side of shit but I didn't have a degree or any certs so why bother. They have been doing it to actual coding, you used to be able to have some online projects and display your skill but recruitment departments have slowly been pivoting to the "degree in x.....". If you're exceptional you can still bypass all this gay shit but it gets harder and harder every year.

If it is not Jews, its the Gypsies. If not the Gypsies, then its Muslims. If its not the Muslims, the problem are Ukrainians. I am tired of this blame shifting man. Companies recorded record profits during the Corona hoax and prices went through the roof. And Im supposed to believe the problem arent the companies rising prices? Yes the Ukrainians are annoying as fuck and destroy social cohesion, but half of them dont even have a job. They dont decide the price of housing.

Trades is a meme. “Muh trades” are being outsourced to beaners and your office jobs are being outsourced to A.I. when will you faggots learn that nobody is safe, that no matter your field you WILL be replaced because the establishment actively wants you dead. Pivoting around coding to shill trades is just kicking the can down the road; there are no jobs now, there will be less jobs later and you’re going to end up in the same situation of no crops as long as the locusts keep swarming. You’re in an uphill battle that isn’t going to magically go away; you have to stand and fight despite the odds or come to terms with the fact you can’t win this: either pick a field you’re passionate about, stick with it, and see what you can do with it despite overwhelming odds or jump ship entirely and move to Asia after learning a skill they demand.

on the contrary we pissed off the jews with rampant piracy and alternative media, albeit not consciously. We stopped using the ((radio)) in lieu of scenekid/hipster shit. We stopped going to movies, instead pirating everything. We stopped watching TV instead watching retarded shit on youtube made by our peers. We absolutely pissed of the jews, and we were lambasted for it (still are apparently).

But I have no idea why you dipshits don't have your lives straightened out. We were corralled into the college meatgrinder like cattle, dimwitted by our boomer leaders telling us it was the golden ticket.

It's not socialism.

The answer is to get a degree that is in demand for local governments in your state.
>No recruiters
They only directly hire for most roles
>Benefits
Extremely decent benefits for anyone with any level of forethought
>Pay
For most positions, in my state, pay is almost on par with private industry and greater than if you count the benefits

My personal experience dealing with Gen-Z in the workplace is mostly negative. Even for the educated office environments they are almost as bad as having the position open. I've never seen a group of people so allergic to having a basic understanding of what they're doing even at a private business that paid well with high employee retention requiring specialized skills
>Can't read
They did better than the average Gen-Z but it was still shocking
>Can't write

>Can't communicate

The training is easy if you aren't special and if you are then it just takes longer. Any minor screw up in training had these people nearly breaking down despite zero expectations for them to actually submit work.

However, there's always outliers and you'll get some kid who actually received a soul and their prefrontal cortex at some point in the womb and it's like dealing with someone 10 years older than what you're looking at.

>>510847351
Here government jobs are basically jobs until you die because we have worker rights and the state will almost never lay you off. As for the private sector, they can lay you off but if they prove (they must do it strictly and give you an opportunity to improve and train you) your bad performance. They can also say that they don't need the as many workers and then lay you off but if they hire for the same position again in 1 year span you can sue them, win back your salaries and get returned to the job. There's also a third option to resign yourself and they usually give you 3-4 gross salaries in this case but you need to accept this method.

All in all, your job is okayishly secure here if the company doesn't go bankrupt. As for the USA, if you work there and don't have 12 months of expenses saved up in liquid I have bad news for you. For 1 US salary you can hire 5 Serbs at least with same or better qualifications to work for you remotely.

>>510847790

A studio apartment in the middle of a nojobz rural town or niggertown is about $1200+/mo, you'll need much more than minimum wage to afford that.
