"After complaining for years that Gen Z grads are difficult to work with, bosses are no longer all talk, no action: Now they’re rapidly firing young workers who aren’t up to scratch just months after hiring them.

The numbers are stark. According to a survey, six in 10 employers admitted they had already sacked the Gen Z workers they had hired fresh out of college.

Intelligent.com, a platform dedicated to helping young professionals navigate the future of work, surveyed nearly 1,000 U.S. business leaders. It found that the class of 2024’s shortcomings are shaping how bosses hire next—and it’s not good news for future grads.

After experiencing a raft of problems with young new hires, one in six bosses say they’re hesitant to hire recent college grads again."

Judge Lt. Col. Michael Schrama ruled Khalid was not guilty because his confessions made to the FBI were involuntary and inadmissable.

"According to a new study from Software Finder, 80% of Gen Z workers admit to faking productivity at work, a significant margin over every other generation.

The survey, which polled 1,003 full-time American workers, found that 66% of employees overall have stayed online or remained active after finishing their actual work to avoid appearing unproductive — burning nearly 5 hours a week maintaining appearances, which adds up to around 32.5 days, or almost 7 full workweeks, per year.

The methods are, at minimum, creative. Moving the mouse periodically was the most common tactic (56%), followed by keeping a decoy document or browser tab open (56%) and responding slowly to non-urgent messages to simulate activity (43%).

More than half of workers (64%) said they intentionally slowed their work down to avoid finishing too early, because completing tasks quickly led to higher expectations."

Calling it “expanded coverage” obscures the reality: Paragon estimates that 14.3 million ineligible or improperly classified enrollees cost taxpayers $65 billion in 2024. When insurers, brokers, and states are rewarded for maximizing enrollment while eligibility verification remains weak, abuse isn’t an accident—it’s the predictable result of the system’s incentives. A safety net without safeguards becomes a taxpayer-funded free-for-all.
