In a recent interview on Varney & Co., Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy excoriated Gen Z, the generation that was born between 1997 and 2012.
“It’s hard to manage them. They don't want to work. They're spoiled brats. They've grown up in a world where it's everyone gets a trophy generation, and the idea of showing up and going through traffic and being at the office at 8:45 and working until six, they look at you like you've got 10 heads. They think everthing is on a silver platter. It’s really hard to motivate these people. They’re really lazy, entitled losers."
