Not for Nuthin... Nobody Wants to Work Anymore... Or Are We Just Getting Old?

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Is it really harder to find great employees these days...or have we just become "those people" who complain about the younger generation?In this episode, Karina and Desi dive into one of the biggest conversations happening in workplaces today. They share funny (and sometimes frustrating) hiring stories, debate whether COVID permanently changed work culture, and discuss what makes an employee truly stand out.Along the way, they talk about interview disasters, work ethic, AI in the workplace, balancing life and career, and why great teams are built on mutual respect, not just expectations.Spoiler alert...by the end, they might just admit that they're getting a little old.⏱️ Episode Timestamps00:00 Story Time: What are you too old to pretend you enjoy?05:01 Does nobody want to work anymore?07:40 The interview stories that still surprise us11:19 Has work-life balance changed for the better?13:21 COVID, hiring, and changing expectations16:34 The positives of today's workforce (yes, there are some!)19:47 What makes an employee unforgettable21:16 Building a workplace people actually enjoy23:30 Not for Nuthin: Appreciate the employees who show up24:09 Why an escape room might be our next team-building event
