A Gen Z employment seeker with multiple sclerosis shared her frustration on TikTok after being rejected for a job she thought was a “shoo-in,” allegedly due to her age. Taking to her TikTok page on Saturday (November 23), Alejandra claimed in a viral video that a hiring manager told her that she wasn’t hired because of her “lack of commitment” and not having a “five-year plan.”
“If you’re wondering what the job market looks like right now, look no further than my swollen eyelids,” Alejandra started her video, which has since amassed nearly 856,000 views.
A teary-eyed Alejandra continued: “A Gen X hiring manager told me that I wasn’t hired because I’m Gen Z, and that’s been making me cry for the better part of the last five hours.”
