Lord Alan Sugar has condemned youngsters for sitting on bean bags every day, instead of being productive five days a work week.
According to the Apprentice boss (74), young people have lost their hunger for hard work. He said they were merely flitting elastic bands at each other.
Also, he criticized IT companies for allowing employees to “come and take as they like” rather than a strict five-day work week.

Criticism: The Apprentice boss, 74, said young people no longer have a ‘hunger’ for hard work and said they spent their time ‘flicking elastic bands’ at each other
Lord Sugar, who famously started his career by selling car aerials out of the back of a van, told The Sun: ‘Young people these days tend to be IT literate and become programmers.
“And companies such as Google, Facebook, or Twitter have this idea of “come to and go however you like” and let people sit in bean bags, flick elastic bands at one another, and then they say “turn up whenever you want”.
In contrast, he worked for five straight days, then took the weekends off. He said that work-life balance was a difficult topic.
The businessman added: ‘The world has changed and everyone has got their iPhones now and Nike trainers, there is no hunger any more.’

Lazy: Lord Sugar was famously a car salesman who started his career selling aerials from the back of a van. He then attacked IT companies who, he said, had a “come and take as you like” idea.
Lord Sugar grew up on a housing estate in Hackney and is now worth more than £1.2billion, but said today’s youth don’t have the same drive and instead want a ‘cushy job’.
He claimed he doesn’t want to deal with ‘cheeky,’ younger people who claim to come to his workplace and whine about being forced to do a ‘day’s worth of work.
The business magnate also argued that degrees don’t show what people can do, saying it only becomes clear when they begin a profession they are ‘passionate’ about.
His comments come after it was announced that The Apprentice will return for its stellar 16th series in January.
The BBC’s award-winning business show will kick off in its new Thursday night slot from January 6, promising plenty of fireworks in the highly anticipated comeback.
This mogul will be joined by Baroness Karren Brady, a longtime ally and advisor to the mogul and Series One winner Tim Campbell. Tim Campbell is taking over for injured Claude Littner in this series.
After a severe accident, Claude has had multiple operations.

You’re fired! Lord Sugar claimed he does not want to deal with ‘cheeky,’ teenage workers who claim to come to work for his company to complain about the ‘day’s work.
This series was supposed to be filmed in Spring 2020. However, the BBC had to delay production due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
It was revealed in May that filming would be completed later in the year.
With 16 new candidates competing to win a life-changing £250,000 investment in their business, the series launches with a challenge that is anything but plain sailing.
The candidates board a new cruise ship designed by Lord Sugar and are assigned the task of designing an advertisement campaign for a cruise destination.

It’s back! It comes after it was announced that The Apprentice will return for its stellar 16th series in January (from L-R: Baroness Karren Brady, Lord Alan Sugar and Tim Campbell)
After the initial task was completed, the survivors will be faced with a series of challenging tasks. Relationships are challenged and competition is high.
These tasks will include launching into the worlds of oral health for children, a challenge to promote tourism in Wales with steam trains and zip lines, and developing a new video game idea.
Entrepreneurs in training will find their way to the front lines as they negotiate tricky waters in Cornwall, sell on television and manage a corporate event at Silverstone.
This series will not be easy as Lord Sugar is clear that there are no low points in boardroom life.

Expected return: BBC’s award winning business program will be back in Thursday Night slot. There are many fireworks ahead of the anticipated return
The task ends with candidates being called in to defend their position in the boardroom. There is one last chance to get out of the firing line.
Lord Sugar, speaking from the boardroom, said in episode one: “I must admit, we are happy to be back on the boardroom again. Don’t think that I have gone soft.
The pandemic has made the business world more challenging than ever. This is also true for the process. You don’t get furloughed in this boardroom, but you do get fired.
Over the years, Lord Sugar has invested close to a staggering £3million into winning pitches and this year’s ambitious entrepreneurs will be doing their utmost to prove they mean business as they fight it out for the life-changing investment opportunity.
