Came upon this beautiful piece of corporate propaganda.

Sure, blame the kids. Not like that’s exactly what previous generations have done or anything. All I see here is more blame-shifting and passing the buck.

I mean it explicitly says it’s not Gen Z’s fault they don’t have the requisite training. They want to learn more than the rest of the population, there just aren’t good opportunities to learn the relatively niche skills.

I totally agree the article should have been written way better, and I question why it focuses on just gen z when a lack of sustainable talent seems like a multigenerational problem, but improving training being most critical for gen Z as they will be taking over more and more of the workforce in the oncoming years (critically during the window of opportunity to reverse more of the effects of climate change) makes sense to me

Maybe it was written by a Gen Z

If anything didn’t they avoid falling for the rage bait because they didn’t increase the view count of the article?

^THIS^ Not reading anything that sources opinions/data from LinkedIn. My personal grindset prioritizes my mental hygeine vs absolute garbage.

  1. Since you pay for your own education, learn whatever the fuck you want.
  2. When companies bemoan the lack of skilled workers, remind them they it’s because they won’t pay to train any one.
  3. Death to Capitalism

I e been espousing #2 for years… Companies used to actually train and invest in their employees, now it’s all about poaching someone else from some other company rather than training and promoting within.

Oh. So the problem is the people who have been in the workforce all of two fucking years and who are likely so low ranking that they are nowhere in any position to make a difference even with their own work schedule.

Not the people who have been in charge for decades, dragging their feet, misleading, buying/funding shit candidates, gaming the market, and who still openly deny climate change.

Fuck outta here.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
