Showing Original Post only (View all)Dollar Tree Manager fired for sign:"Don't hire Gen Z's. They don't know what work actually means." [View all]
A Dollar Tree manager in Bremen, Indiana was fired from their job after posting a controversial sign outside of the store last week, according to NBC affiliate WNDU.
The handwritten sign had been seen by a number of people entering the store, allowing them to take pictures of it and post them online.
"I apologize for us closing AGAIN," the sign said. "My 2 new cashiers quit because I said their boyfriends couldn't stand here for their entire shift.
"Dont hire Gen Zs. They dont know what work actually means. NOW HIRING! *Baby Boomers ONLY, thanks!"
According to the Pew Research Center, someone born between 1997 and 2012 is considered in Generation Z, while a person born between 1946 and 1964 is considered part of the Baby Boomer generation."

"We are aware that an unauthorized sign was posted at our store for a brief period of time. The handwritten message was absolutely not approved by or condoned by our Company," Guiler said in a statement.
