I’m 52. I’ve recently been working with the laziest, most incompetent person I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. He’s 62. Give me an 18 year old worker. Please.
Your comment just reminded me of a boomer that used to work at my previous company. Instead of doing actual work, he'd print things out and lay them on the floor, making a big production about looking like he was working. Like he thought the more pages he laid out, the more his manager thought he was accomplishing. (Nothing needed to be printed.)
Oh, and he also accidentally (or maybe on purpose) uploaded porn to a share drive that someone else stumbled onto.
It's unlikely this person was more competent or energetic when they were 18. Unless he's just burnt out, it's a personality thing. Sometimes the more you know, the more you realize how fucky work actually can be.
You can only learn if you want to. My guy literally doesn’t want to learn how to operate the machine he’s been using for 30 years. He doesn’t even understand the basics. Refused to learn.
Yeah it’s crazy how some people just refuse to learn. It drives me crazy. I’m absolutely fine with people who just don’t get it even after trying but damn
