Dragged to a Job Interview – Escorted Off by Security: A Gen-Z vs. Boomer Job Hunt Clash
In this brutally honest and deeply funny rant, a millennial looking for work talks about how their well-meaning but out-of-touch father made them go job hunting in person, right into a security guard. The post is about more than just misunderstandings between generations. It makes scathing comments about old ways of looking for work, how companies hire people, and how political news stories hurt older generations.
This guy just couldn’t land a job offer
So, his dad decided to help him
This embarrassing job-hunting mess that went viral was shared in a way that mixes existential frustration with raw comedy. It perfectly shows how different the work culture is between generations.
The poster’s father still thinks that the best way to get a job is to walk into a company with a paper resume in hand, even though HR pros say that this is not only outdated but could also backfire, especially in the tech or corporate job markets.
As a result? Police arrest the original poster for trespassing on private property after they try to do a cold drop-in at a company where they have already applied online seven times. Just that little fact shows how pointless the method is and how important online application systems are.
As things get worse, the dad points the finger at Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and H-1B visa workers for the rejection, even though it has nothing to do with either of them. The post does a good job of busting this myth by telling readers that H-1B hiring is based on labour economics, not racism against white people (source).
Still, the post ends on a harsh note. It says that the misinformation echo chamber, especially partisan media sites like Fox News and Newsmax, is to blame for giving older generations a view of the world that is so far removed from current events that basic logic about looking for work becomes a battleground. The sign says this is how we got to a “post-truth” society, where false economic stories leave out details and blame others for failure.
The story, which is now a “trilogy,” shows how young people are getting tired of not only looking for work in a broken job market but also trying to stay grounded in the face of false information spread by family members. It’s not just a story about being turned down for a job. It shows a divided America with different time frames, worldviews, and ideas about what success really means.
