Yesterday I watched a lad repeatedly mis-spell the word "Safety" and wonder why he couldn't log in to the safety training hub we use at work.
He wasn't typing fast, he just can't spell.
I am really fucking tired of soundbite politics, of people saying a thing to rally their voters without any nuance at all. I know why it happens and I know that it's always happened, but I wish it wouldn't.
Of course young people find a day's work stressful. Entry level jobs are almost always shit. You go from the easy(ish) life of full time education, into a world where adults belittle you while giving you tasks that they don't want to do. For this you're paid a minimum wage that's impossible to live on if you're under 21, and damn near impossible if you're over 21. You suddenly have to pay bills, and have to choose between having a social life and being functional.
While all of this is happening, you escape into social media where you see people your age apparently making bank just by fucking about online. So you spend your time daydreaming and resentful that you have to go to a place you don't want to be at an hour you're not used to.
And despite your efforts, condescending shitheads like Liz fucking Kendall are there to tell you that your feelings on the matter aren't valid.
So yeah, I'd say it's stressful.
I'd hope Apple could engineer the hinge better than that.
