At 77, I still go to individuals much younger than UI to learn. I have witnessed young people being as you described but I have wtnessed just as many elderly being the same.
There was a song in a movie calld simply "Kids." It Started out something like, "Kids! What's the matter with kids today?" So I suppose it is an ever present condition, but I do believe some, of those kids are old too.

I remember when I first started out in the workplace all the old guys would mutter the same type of things..young folk today, can't do this and can't do that. And yet they tel you in their day the 'olds' said the exact same thing. But I suppose those youngsters after 20,30.40 years of work experience will have earned the right to say the exact same things - The youngsters of today!!!.

or it's maybe they just give you the dodo's to work with, that can happen?

They are unable to even follow directions by someone closer to their own ages.

Could by ADD.

Studies have found the age group in the OP were hardwired for defecit in holding long term attention spans by children's television programming as children. Sesame street, Romper room, etc...

I doubt it would be the case in your field, but at a local store here management has started to hire stockers with a reading defesit.
It shows.
Left unmanaged these hires will take merchandise to its particular department and shelve according to packaging similarities.

If there's no product nearby that looks similar to the new restock inventory, they put it anywhere there's space.
I've stopped trusting shelf tags for the price of the products.

Why would any company do this? I asked the manager who was supervising the new hire for their service desk.

It's a corporate decision. Refusing to hire applicants who can't read is a firm of discrimination. If the perspective hire us "non- white", it may also be construed as racism as well.
Plus, the company get tax benefits for hiring the "differently abled".

I hope that policy never enters the OP's line of work. Seriously.o_O

It is there unfortunately, that is why I put older, very experienced to do direct supervision for the purpose of correction and training on the job. We once had a 25 year old blow up an old shed. I was happy no one got hurt or killed. Yes, he was fired on the spot and sent to professionals to help him work through what he went through for his protection.
