Former Twitter Employee Can't Seem To Find Meditation Room At New Taco Bell Job

This exactly makes the point that you never pigeon hole any person or any group of people regardless of their age, sex, color, race, background, religion, ETC. People are individuals...if all millennials were turds, our world would have already crashed lol. Thank God there's always going to be someone to carry the load and figure out what's right to move forward.

I absolutely agree. I manage a small machine shop, and have gone through a lot of employees in the last few years.
Machinist is a trade that’s dying and it would take some kind of economic upheaval to change that.
I can’t pick through applicants to find someone with machining skills or even mechanical aptitude. A pulse is more like it.
I have hired 2 young people in the last few months, completely opposite as far as background. One is still in high school machining program, is really into working on cars and trucks. Very intelligent and outgoing. I have high hopes for him.(last job was busboy. )
The other has been out of school for awhile, Army reserve, wants to work in daycare with kids.
What do they have in common? Both come to work on time every day and stay hard at their jobs.
I feel like I won the lottery.

I saw this to a huge degree when I was a trucking company executive. What was frustrating, was it was so hard to predict with any given applicant. Every ethnic group, previous work history, age, sex, etc., I would see folks who looked good on paper, but fail to perform. I'd take a chance on a marginal candidate, get a great performer. Best surprise I ever got was an inner city black woman, couple kids, had been on the dole. Got a Pell grant to get her CDL, came to us after a year's experience, over the road. During the decade I knew her, she never missed a day of work, never late, sterling safety record. I did find that female candidates tended to fall to the extremes, either duds or superstars, seldom in the middle.

When I started my career in the industry in 1977, proverbial wisdom was the best drivers were white males who had grown up on a farm. This made sense, in terms of the value of early experience around trucks. I fell far outside the norm, no previous exposure to heavy equipment, father was a college professor, I was Asian. My co-workers thought I'd be gone in a week. I lasted 45 years.

I owned a restaurant for 18 yrs and staffing became a real issue around year 2000. Back when you'd still find help wanted ads in the local newspapers, I'd spend a small fortune on week-long help wanted ads to only receive a few applicants. I was so glad to sell the business in 2011 only because of the staffing issues. Other than that I was great at making profit in the restaurant business.

If I had to do it again I'd open a pierogi restaurant and hire a bunch of Ukrainians.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — According to sources, a local developer who was recently let go from Twitter is having a difficult time finding the meditation room at his new job at the SFO Airport Taco Bell.

"Huh. It's gotta be around here somewhere," said the confused 2nd shift Burrito Assembly Specialist as he looked around the facility. "I hope I find it soon because that last order was very, very stressful."

Sources say the man previously held a prestigious position at Twitter as an Assistant Algorithmic Diversity Intervention and Sensitivity Coordinator making $238,000 per year. He also enjoyed free food, unlimited naps, and the use of 42 conveniently placed "quiet rooms" for transcendental meditation between meetings.

"Hey guuuuuuuys, where do I go to meditate around here?" he said to his confused coworkers before slipping in a puddle of nacho cheese and collapsing on the floor in a fit of sobs. His shift manager then kindly informed him that he could meditate in the cooler for a few minutes as long as he brought back 3 bags of shredded lettuce.

At publishing time, the man had been fired after insulting his shift manager on Twitter.

How could he miss it. It's located next to the footbath for the practioners of the religion of peace.

Funny (not really) Kiwi that you should mention those guys that start and quit by lunch or in a week. I myself did that after high school. Got jobs in restaurants and quit in less than a week. I also took one job in a foundry - struggled to make it to lunch. Left for lunch and never returned. Didn't even PU my check. But at the time all that served an up coming unknown purpose for me. I realized I just wasn't cut out to do that kind of smarmy work and had no skills to do otherwise. It woke me up in the good sense - not todays sense - and pushed me into college where I worked my skinny butt off to get a double degree, graduate one thin hair below honors and then go out and get a professional job. All that beforehand stuff somehow allowed me to find myself and a profession I was very good at - where I again worked my *** off for 35 yrs and did quite well. It allowed me to retire with security on my terms - I bailed at 55 mostly due to health reasons. My regret is that I gave so very much more than I ever got in return. Corporate America is a blood sucking leach. I was able to bail early because of my accumulated investment skills not because they showered me with truck loads of money for the blood I gave them. What are todays deadbeats going to do when the clock starts running on them - who knows - It will be interesting to watch - and I can tell you w/o reservation I have zero sympathy or empathy for any of them. I have a nephew who's playing that game - and after helping him for years I just slammed the door on him - he's a deadbeat who never lasts more than a month in a job. He's 36 now - no place to live - no money coming in - and he's run out of sympathizers. He's up against the wall but still refuses to work. I've run on too long here but this is a subject that gets me going.

Today's youngsters think they are immortal, and getting older is so down the road. Granted i took a crappy job, i hated it, but i lasted twenty seven years because of responsibilties. Sometimes you have to embrace the suck. I stuck it out, and cashed out early.

Those Ukranians know how to work.
