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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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!
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...
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.
@@jac23538I expect a job that involves taking care of orphan kids would have in place childcare options or child friendly hours. As you also have kids at home and the workplace is 98% female. How do you expect parents to get to work at 6am when daycares don’t open then?
I'm a millennial and I laughed so hard when the HR guy said you can't retain workers with money. It's money my dude. I leave every year and a half because your raises don't keep up with inflation or cost of living creep. What a tool!
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.
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
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
Who is going to make your latte? Who is going to butcher the cow? Who is going to plant and harvest your friuts n' veggies? Somebody has to assemble the parts that make your bike up. Somebody has to pick the trash up. Gen Z seems to thnk of life as a video game. Plant the crop, harvest, sell and you magically have a few bucks. Wash, rinse, repeat does not work in the real world. Oh, it ain't our model, people have been working for a living for a few eons before us boomers.
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?
Probably because there's so many broke older generations taking up the jobs young people and high schoolers CAN work lol. That and the same jobs are requiring diplomas and work experience while still paying peanuts.
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.
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.
As a tech worker working as a contractor in a 3rd world for a US based firm, whom your jobs are being outsourced too. I want to say that I hear your grievances and I will make it a point to ask for the highest compensation possible so we are not used over you guys as cheap labor, plus try immigrating to Dubai so there are less of us for the jobs to be outsourced too.
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.
GenX here. I have learned SO MUCH from the younger generations! I am finally learning that it's OK to have a life outside of work. It's OK for me to go to lunch or go home at the end of the day even if I have work to do. The work will be there tomorrow and the pressures we were putting on ourselves to do everything were unrealistic - unhealthy. Just because they are younger doesn't mean they have nothing to teach us!
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.
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.

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.
