Gen Z is reshaping the future of work - here’s how

- There are an estimated 1.8 billion adolescents and youth between the ages of 10 and 24, making up the largest generation of young people in history. And youth between the ages of 15 and 24 make up 34% of the global labor force in 2022.
Gen Z, loosely defined as those born between the mid-to-late 1990s and early 2010s, is the latest generation to enter the workforce.
A survey done by Resume Builder, a resource website for job seekers, revealed that around 3 out of 4 managers find that Gen Z is the most challenging generation to work with.
“Generations were more prepared for the workforce than they are now,” Stacie Haller, Resume Builder’s chief career advisor shared in an interview with CNBC.
Noting that Gen Z employees had to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic and remote working, she added: ”[Gen Zs] didn’t even have an opportunity to relate to people at all in a workplace. They were thrown into an environment that people who do have that experience are still struggling with.”
Ziad Ahmed, the founder of JUV Consulting, a digital marketing agency staffed entirely by Gen Z employees, told CNBC that managing young people is also a challenge for him.
“A new employee has no standard of comparison, regardless of generation,” the 24-year-old said.
Watch the video to see the different perspectives of both Gen Z employees and managers.

Once upon a time, they thought Millennials were hard to work with. They used to call us Gen Y or Gen Why because we were always questioning things instead of just doing what we're told.
Social media addiction, bias news from social media, constant phone checking, and being the center of their own fantasy life is overwelming problem.
Imagine having to explain the reason for the world we live in. It's like toddlers asking 'why....but why"
@@jonathanmosher72 Because - and this is apparently what only _they_ have managed to realize - you quickly realize that the underlying "why" turned out to be flimsy, poorly thought-out, and unstable.
@gino14 Lol, yes... because they're super special and we're the only ones to ask why...
Yep and they are also Undateable
Millennial here and I’m fully on board with work from home. I hate office small talk. It’s distracting and I hate having to politely brush off coworkers when I want to focus on my work. I couldn’t deal with constant job changes though as that sounds stressful.
this is what's happening right now to me....
💯
As a milly 95' baby this is exactly how i see my job : a place where i can learn and gather experience, i am motivated BUT don't expect me to be a slave to the company... homeoffice and work life balance is a must, otherwise i am leaving...
Gen Z, here! I can tell you right now that being emotionally invested in your work is a terrible idea. Don’t do it. Do your job to the best of your abilities with the time and resources you have, and then let it go. Take care of your health first and foremost because you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life. Detach your meaning and purpose from your day job and know that no matter how hard or how unideal it may be, your work can change. Your job title doesn’t go on your headstone, people.
PS: I’m glad to see companies are realizing that ping-pong tables and kombucha-on-tap are not going to entice anyone to work harder. Put less money into an office space and more money into improving health and vacation benefits for your staff!
Why tho? What if i enjoy my job?
Gen z are treating their companies as their own therapy institute nowadays 😂 it's just sad. Your boss is not responsible to solve your own life problems yo.
Lies again? Jackal Wolf AIA Money
Emotionally job invested parents caused a lot of problems growing up. Personal life, family and community should always be the primary focus
Millennial here..even better advice....join a roofing company instead of college and any job after that will be a breeze...my mistake was doing it to pay off college debt for a class i've never ended up using...and that kind of work prepares you for life way more than college ever could
so do it right so while you're in your undecided phase about your career, you'll be getting stronger, braver, smarter and richer....that means you don't have to go the gym after work, you won't have any financial issues, you'll have barely any stress or anxiety because u'll have the mental strength of a tank...and you'll pick up chicks like it's nothing, no dating app needed lol mom's and even dad's will come up to and ask you if you want to me their daughter no joke lol
Ima be honest if gen z is hard to work with chances are someone is trying to load off some job I don’t think this generation is hard to work with because humans are reasonable creatures they’re just mad because gen z isn’t stupid
Few that end up begging think they are stupid
as someone who is gen z this hits hard, i'm trying to manage living a life while also attempting to earn money and raise a family ... i think i'm on top of it!
I mean, if you face reality, american companies offer nothing to employees.. Just money is not enough anymore
They dont even offer enough money...
@@smpiano6605 fax 😂
Seriously though... What's even the point anymore? @@smpiano6605
Like what exactly? Emotional support? Your boss are not responsible for your life's problem. Stop treating business companies like some adult day care center.
5:15 “I think the biggest mistake is saying I’m going to retain you with money” 🤦🏾♂️
I think there needs to be a better qualification check for mangers and supervisors positions because the idea of mangers not wanting or willing or at least get aggravated when they’re coworkers need their help is just wild to me it goes to show that anyone can get the position even the narcissist and they should be ranked on what the employees think of them because you can always trust the students to tell the school on a bad teacher
Amen
Absolutely agree! It's a challenge I face as a manager who's empathetic and prioritizes the well-being of my team instead of berating them with narrow-minded approaches to work in ordder to get results. My teams always outperform, but I constantly have to fight with upper mgmt for my approach because they refuse to get out of their old toxic ways. It's draining af
If what employers offer doesn't add value to the workers' lives, they shouldn't be surprised when the employees are not interested in taking those jobs seriously. What the employers offer doesn't allow them to buy a house, save for retirement, afford to have kids, have job security and loyalty from the company, defined work/life boundaries, etc... And these are the things that the previous generations had, and so they acted accordingly. Now the deal is worse for workers, and so they are also acting accordingly.
yeah, it is demoralizing needing to commute 2 hours every day within a metropolitan area you cannot afford. My main motivator for remote is financial independence.
work is evolving, tech is evolving, people are evolving. where are the tools to connect it all? matching with work based on company culture fit, attitude, and attributes is just as important as skills and qualifications.
Every time I heard that 15 year old CEO speak... I... so... want to watch him hear his words when he turns 35
hes 24 in the interviews
The cost of living is high this days caues of inflation while worker pay is very low and does not adjust to inflation
"they tend to not be loyal"
Well, are you paying them to be loyal? You're gonna have to pay for that.
PREACH!
companies used to be loyal to their guys and vice versa...it used to be normal to work for the same company for 25 years
it shouldn’t be related to generations, humanity is developing, so a lot of people reconsider their choices and lifestyles.
They're reshaping it to be an adult daycare lmao
Universal basic income
They're right gen z cares a lot more about learning than money👍
😅😂
Gen Z is probably the generation with the biggest lack of interest in learning. Have access to all the information and not able to choose the right sources and keep things in mind. Ask anyone of this generation who is Hokusai or Gandhi, you won't have any answer...
And then they turn around and whine about being broke and not being able to afford a family and claim it’s because “the system” is “rigged” against them and not because of their own bad choices and not having their priorities in order and looking at the long term big picture.
And sleep too
Boomers had it far easier than us, the wages match the cost of living and blue collar worker could buy a house a car and support a family you just can’t do that anymore which is very demotivating if you want any meaning in life
in the 80s, 70% of youth ( Gen X) took a summer job.
Today less than 40% take a summer job.
How can you be prepared for a workplace if you never worked?
it is kind of emotionally Sad for the Gen Z’s knowing you are going to spend yours Live with Limit and not knowing where else to go and do.
George Carlin has a great bit about criticizing boomers because he's a part of the silent generation
It’s the thumbnail for me
Gen Z is 🗑️
It's time for a change!
Who sold gen Z their deal.
Gen Z are the worst.
What about Generation Alpha???
Sticking out your gyatt for the rizzler
You're so skibidi
You're so fanum tax

@@othellox1064 uh yeah, who tf wouldn’t? Idiotic question
@@othellox1064
Its not diverse enough?
In all fairness, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
the tumbnail 😂
It's adorable how every new young generation thinks that they're different and special. 😆
is 1997 is still genz or millennials, becoz i dont know where i am of this two generations
you choose! What generation aligns with your values the most?
I am genz but look like millenial and act as Gen X
I think Gen Z is the worst generation in a millennium
It has been said that “in pleasant peace and security, how suddenly the soul in a man begins to die”, i.e. serenity is momentarily pleasant, but it completely lacks the enduring joy of great achievement. So especially young MEN, while you're still healthy and full of energy, NEVER pray for an easy life. Don't seek that mirage of false happiness. Instead, pray for the strength to endure a difficult yet rewarding professional life - because it is only the inevitable recrudescence of hardship from stressful projects and risk taking, that can prepare ordinary men for extraordinary destinies.
Softest Generation in History. “As they say, don’t wish for an easy life, wish for strength to endure hard times.”
They act very entitled and self-righteous for sure. 0:25 This guy seems like a great example of that. If times of war and recession create tough and hard working people, Gen-Z was created out of exactly the opposite of that.
Ignorance, they say that about every young generation ever. Millenials are the real idiots.
That guy was insufferable
.... So not wanting work to be your life is entitled? Sounds to me like you want us to be a victim of workforce abuse buddy.
Disrespectful and don't know their place in pecking order. Gen X DD cannot stand many of them, me either. Born on first!
You literally raised them 🤦♂️, you and boomers created this
your an adult, make your decisions, quit blaming mommy and daddy grow up
Our snowflakes have grown up, look out!
This is stupid...they want to know answers to dumb questions....When? Do it now. What? The things that we are selling and doing for customers needs to be done by YOU, not somebody we are NOT paying, we pay you. Why? Because if you don't do it, somebody that needs to have food, housing and a modern convenienced life WILL DO IT. But...WHY? OK, I said so.
sus, cringe, slay, boomer
Back ground noise. I’m not watching.
Correction. It's Generation Miserable!
Boomers? Yeah, definitely
I am gen z I don't like millennials
No, do not cater to them. They need to learn discipline and it's time for employers to challenge them and if that does not work fire them. They are putting fear into employers with there cancel culture. They are deluded and need to grow up fast.
Hire more gen z without degrees please
Previous generations had it far easier we’re working just as hard for far less money adjusted for inflation, a blue collar worker used to be able to buy a house a car and support a family, even my millennial parents bought a house in their early twenties and supported me and my siblings you can’t do that anymore without significant skills in a relevant profession or both parties men and women working full time
@@chickentoucher55 I agree you are right, gen z are right about all these concerns. In that case forget work and a career and travel and work and see the world.
A house is not everything and in fact keeps you trapped in the system for what?
Your parents have a house so why do you need another one? They will likely pass this down to you. This gives you tons of opportunities to do things your parents could of only dreamed of. It's not that expensive.
Look at elders who have followed the system and ask are they really happy. We need to rethink how we live.
Because their paying you!!! That’s why … (Millennial here)
You can't even use the correct "they're" at your grown age. Calm down
You're better off hiring 2 donkeys than 20 gen zeros .
Tru dat
Enjoy your donkeys 😂
@@howtoguy17 better than you 😂 get a job at subway
