Snap! I would do anything to better myself in my job (then and now!)
I have spoke about this with many people and I think it's the way people are brought up now. Many teenagers (not all!) think that they expect everything handed to them, instead of working hard for things.
My ex boss when I was training had a really nice car and not for one minute did I resent him for it, it just made me think "I want that one day" and ever since I have worked my butt off to try and achieve it (still haven't got the nice car!)
Rant over!x
I completely agree!
I have had countless apprentices that have expected just that. My last apprentice was working for me for just 4 weeks when she turned round and said that she had learnt everything she needs to know as an apprentice and she really thinks that she should have a wage increase!
You can imagine that I wasn't too happy!
Yes she had done really well in her first 4 weeks and had learnt quite a lot during that time. But could she carry out a thorough consultaion? No! Could she tell me what roseca was? No! Could she tell me what products you would recommend to someone with pigmentation? No! Did she know what pigmentation was? .......you guessed it! No!
She wasn't too happy after I explained to her that she had a lot of training to still do, and that by working hard she would be rewarded with extensive training (paid out of my pocket) and once we had built up a column of her own I would be more than happy to increase her wage.
Unfortunately she turned up to work every day after that conversation with a sullen face and awful attitude, and she had to go!
It annoys me greatly that young people think it is their God given right to be handed everthing on a plate!!!!
