Ramsey Solutions host Ken Coleman says employers will need to coach young workers more than in previous years.

Work is a four-letter word. OK, not for everyone. But members of Gen Z are getting a bad reputation when it comes to employment. It looks like it’s time for Boomers to step in and help out again. As much as Gen Z hates it.

A new survey from Intelligent.com reads like an indictment of younger workers. There were lots of bad numbers, but here are two to really notice: "38% of employers avoid hiring recent college graduates in favor of older employees" and "58% say recent college graduates are unprepared for the workforce."

When nearly 40% of employers are avoiding your entire demographic group, that’s a problem. But that’s the result of a survey of "800 U.S. managers, directors, and executives who are involved in hiring." Welcome to the era of TikTok ruining careers – not just for those who post insipid job comments, but those who post are causing collateral damage across an entire generation.

HOW GEN Z AND MILLENNIALS WANT TO WORK IN 2024: 'LAZY GIRL JOBS,' 'BARE MINIMUM MONDAYS' — AND LESS

Gen Z members (I’m told they don’t like the term "Zoomers") fall in the age range of 11 to 26, so only a small number of them have hit the workforce. So far, the work world is hitting back … hard. Turns out, what younger people call "adulting" and we used to call growing up, well it’s tough.

Yeah, we know. It always has been, for every generation.

A Reddit thread from 2022 was headlined, "Holy sh--. Adulting is hard." It has nearly 28,000 up votes and more than 3,000 comments. Other similar threads were almost as popular – like "Adulting sucks" and "Can't handle adulting."

BOOMERS WERE RIGHT! 5........
