I am sure they do. My buddy started there as a regular employee. Stocking the shelves and running the cash register. Opening and closing. This was after he did twenty in the Navy. So, he knew how to work.
However, many people do not want to manage other people. They want to come in, do their shift and go home.
This is kind of like the Peter Principal. Which is to promote people to the point of their ineffectiveness. Meaning, you take your best sales person and promote them to manager. The same attributes that made that person a great salesman, do not necessarily make them a great manager of other people. My company did this for its first twenty years of existence.
Very few people actually make good managers of other people and are able to motivate others to do their job better.
The majority of young kids I’ve worked with recently are lazy, have a self entitlement attitude, argue if they don’t like their duties, come in and leave when they want, are ALWAYS on their phones, ALWAYS have buds in their ears, frequently take days off, frequently call in sick. The older folks show up on time, all the time, do their work, help out others, take initiative, work late if needed with no complaints, and are responsible.
Engineers coming out of Colleges are learning the critical skills of victimhood and politically correctness. I don’t think they’re stupid, just not prepared with key skills to hit the ground running
well, I was including part-time jobs while studying
OK. That makes sense. I am forgiven, I guess.
Prove that assertion. I work in Nuclear Power and my experience with them is they get stuck on what they think is new or innovative only to get upset when they are shown it has already been tried and does not work.
They think most things are new because they just thought of it and seem to be unable as a whole to consider, that maybe, it was thought of before them. This is made worse as they are on average lazy and do not bother to research an idea or project to see if there is any history around it.
In a nutshell, they fail to consider history did not begin only after they became self-aware.
A very boomer response, yours is.
I’ve never worked for anyone, always owned my own business. Retired at 36, I’m 47 now.
That doesn’t stop me from seeing what others are going through.

If fairly compensated, many would like the opportunity to move up, though of course there has to be a fit between the person and the job.
Good to conscientious employees who would be interested in moving up, too.
Warehousing and packaging, and it's just Gen Z that knows what kind of s^ck pick-and-pack is? False premise.
Gen Zr's I have met and employed are usually tech-overload, you have to slow them down to prevent the critical (and often easy) mistakes, but that's part of any training. But they beat Millenials every minute of every day of every week of every year.
Sorry you wrote it that you would, presumably, defend this viewoint: "Work sucks. Everyone makes 15 an hour, regardless of how well the company is doing. Rarely are jobs found that give 40 hours. School didn’t teach anyone how to do actual work. YouTube sets the standard now. Onlyfans. Crypto psuedo-rich. 99.99999 prevent of the rest get to work in restaurants. in the first person as if you were currently experiening it." So it was implied that you agreed with it. So I was giving you what has been the time honored and time tested solution to the perceived problem. It wasn't an insult but if you don't think that it's a viable solution even today then why?
Only the kind that includes orange juice.
Deep State's diploma mills are there to provide compliant employees who turn out obedient drones with cushy jobs and cadillac bennies.
It is all about "credentialing" to ensure anyone not deemed as worthy by the PTB is kept low on the pyramid.... any pyramid.
Lawyers? Credentialed. Doctors? Credentialed. Professors? Credentialed. They can be incompetents who bribed, screwed or cheated to get credentialed, but some arbitrary standard(s) applied by certain gatekeepers stamped the ticket which allowes access through the metaphorical front door and into the building.
The "educational establishments" have made wonderful gatekeepers for the PTB, and have been rewarded handsomely for it.

Management hasn't been management for decades. You have no authority to hire, promote, demote, or fire anyone. You're expected to oversee grossly unqualified staff that HR hired for all the wrong reasons, including sub par pay and compensation.
The situation isn't new. I exploded in the Dilbert Era in the mid 1990s and has gotten a lot worse since then.
Most managers would trade out almost all of their staff if they could hire their replacements. Since that's not going to happen, most smart employees don't want to be "managing" others.
Bingo. They get very upset. Their egos can't handle the slightest rejection.
They also have a serious knowledge and awareness gap of the history of what they're working on. It's shocking how little they know, and care to learn about things that weren't spoon fed to them.
I believe a large part of it is having single mothers, and also television and computers instead of reading. Their analytical skills are stunted.
Who will, over time, become supervisors. Thinking about that makes me glad to be semi-retired! lol
Ask them what a “Combo Wrench is”.
