>Nobody wants to be the parent of the most mentally stable Starbucks Barista
This is a very American problem and the cause my (20's) generation's unhappiness.
No one is happy with just being a stable person.
Being a stable person is a great goal. Most people aren't.
- 6stringmerc 11y agoAs noted in the article, the observed issues with mental health problems would indicate that pushing toward such an "achievement" extreme carries with it significant baggage.
- cryoshon 11y agoYep. We have lost half a generation to Starbucks jobs, and people know that they are lost. It's ruining their mental health, and not building any kind of economic health. I don't blame the helicopter parents for this, though.
- Thimothy 11y agoI've have worked in the restoration business in Europe and would absolutely hate doing the same jobs in the US. Here, it is tactically accepted that even people that faces the public can have a shitty day, specially if the pay is not-so-great. You know you are not 100%, your clients know it, your boss knows it, but as long as it doesn't become a regular problem, it's ok. Now, besides having a shitty day, knowing that my pay and lifestyle is in danger if I give the client a less than perfect experience would do nothing good to my mental stability.
