Summed up: - Flexibility (WFH, hybrid, what time they work and don't work) - Office space (free food or food gift card if staying late), in-office social events - Assigned seats - A way/path to grow in the company and towards their ambitions (ie. mentorship program) - Promotion criteria (let people know what is required and how long it takes for promotion) - Time for passion projects or do it together
I looked for a WFH job for over a year. They were hesitant to hire cause i never worked from home before. A company finally gave me the chance and hired me. I’m a top performer and always hitting goals and always on time. I’ve gotten 2 raises and only been there for 9 months. We have two 30 minute breaks and hour lunches. I’m not planning on leaving anytime soon. I’m gen z
Gen. Z probably still lives with their parents, so they"ll quit their job in a heartbeat. And also the talks is about the companies wanting to retain top performer employees, not all.
Im not a Genz I'm a 60s baby and always felt this way I worked for the Post Office for 21 years and held 10 positions. Also, 4 Active Army years and 16 Army Reserve and held 15 positions and visited at least 12 states and 6 countries. Always enjoyed a male boss. By the time I was 42 years old, I was retired from both.
Gen X here and all of that sounds good to me too. None of us like to be rigidly employed but, unfortunately, that is the reality we face here in the U.S. I find that the majority of employers don't offer flexibility. I hope that Gen Z changes it for ALL of us.
This is so true! I just put my notice in with my job because they won’t let me continue working hybrid and the pay isn’t paying enough. Found a remote job with an extra $2 dollars hourly and benefits…… I work to live, I do not live to work.
Nah. Too many have their homes manipulated still. Working from home. Many corporation councils and other larger Co's sold off offices. Aside from data protection issues... Its problematic for many and they are not compensated for giving their homes over. Gen z. Brought up spoilt and clueless. Expecting mass money for little work. The jokers in the pack.
I love working with "Gen Z" , most have high levels of self awareness, and understand respect is a two way street. The Gen Z I have worked with overall display a strong unwillingness to condone current societal hierarchies. Also are not validation seeking or fall for other generational power plays! It is refreshing and empowering to witness this group arriving with high expectations and confidence in putting their "money where their mouth is! Example in 2021, CEOs earned 399 times more than the typical U.S. worker was paid. However do not add 399 times worth of value.
>Also are not validation seeking or fall for other generational power plays!< >I love working with "Gen Z" , most have high levels of self awareness, and understand respect is a two way street.< Think again for 5 minutes and tell me that You're right. Gen Z are not exactly what You think they are. That's Your experience of them. Most of them are lazy, whiny, insuferable young people, none of them are even 30 yet and most of them don't know what they want, because they didn't even ask who or what they are. You can stay in Your delusions or actually sum it up by being self aware an going beyong Your own experiences.
Number 3 has always been true. We all worked hard and may even have needed to change our jobs in order to reach our goals. He says it as if they just discovered something new. Gag me!
Flexible work hours and WFH requires trust from both employers and employees… all new employees, no matter what generation they are from should be required to phase into more and more opportunities for hybrid work over time. This also forces new employees to get to know office culture and personalities faster when starting a new job.
His claims are bold and ideas and nuanced but research supports it. I wish he referenced the research more. Siestas in Spain, Mandated vacation in France and Australia. America shifted out of producing and into strategy, business tactics and engineering. Working smarter. Psychology and physiology are showing us how long form problem solving can be repeated day in and day out. So long as other comforts are afforded to us. Then employer retention booms.
True. Same for healthcare workers who are patient-facing, construction workers, plant workers, or any other profession that requires a physical presence.
He’s not wrong. To us oldtimers it all may sound odd, but we are seeing these changes happening on the employer side. Because in the end they simply need a work force. In the end the customer will pay the difference that may increase cost on the production side if the employer has a lower productivity output per employee. So all is good, it’s change, and change is normal, and it fuels innovation. As long as humans are still needed to do work, this is a repeating cycle. „Offering free food“ may sound cute to us Gen X‘ers, but ok, if that’s the new mindset and demand, let’s look into it. Whatever it costs, we‘ll just put the difference on our sales price. It’s really interesting to listen to someone from this generation. Because to realize these needs or preferences is just very hard for a generation that in the end leads a completely different life with completely different centers of gravity. Just like our parents and grandparents generations had a different focus.
All in all gen Z want to work by their OWN individual and personal schedule. Which can be good for their own productivity but it has it's own faults as well.... Because companies needs team work. And if someone works individually there is no team. We need to be more diciplined and find more relevant yet satisfying schedules for them. Gen Z seems like a healing stage with demands that doesn't go with the overall financial status anf work fulfillment. Ps: just what I can make out of my experience.
COVID helped employers see the value of hybrid work schedules. In my experience, most employees were more productive at home because of the less distraction with "other tasks as assigned" work and completing tasks/projects ahead of time.
@@monk4ever was this a competition? because people actually see more sense into it. Unless you are actually taking score, then by all means you aren't getting the real picture.
I'm hesitant about these demands when the receiver provides different demands. I disagree because, when all these are offered, most people either do not show up or do not want to participate. The customer needs better customer service. You go to any store, and no one can help you, or they bother when you ask a question because it is more important to text or watch videos than to work. The question should be to the workers....Am I doing a good job or providing good customer service?
@@Mikey-gr5mq Wages aren't bad, but people spend a LOT more. So that ain't the problem. Just at old folk how they spent their money in the 70/80 or even 90s. Never in their mind would they spend $5 on a coffee or even constant eating outside. That adds up!
@@imanigordon6803 yeah right... People spend a TON on S& they dont really need. Compare to 40 years ago there weren't that many "I need this". People want to keep their expenses with a lower income
@@freedonx Overspending has always been a thing the difference is the price of food, gas, rent, car payments, houses, etc. have all risen. Wages have stagnated there’s literally data that proves this 😂 the issue is employers dont want to raise wages but want to raise prices. That isn’t the employees fault do your research before you start talking. 🤦🏾♂️
Humans are 'nest builders', hot desking doesn't benefit anyone except the people who have to pay for desk space. There are so many reasons why having a fixed desk is better. There are other ways to create flexible physical workspaces. For office workers who have just spent the last couple of years working in spaces they control again, they are well aware of the benefits of a fixed desk, and that's not just Gen-Z workers, that's workers of all ages.
I employed my first gen z this year and in my experience and that of the many other people I’ve spoken to, I will never go there again. They want top dollar for a starting rate with no experience, not willing to work overtime, late every second day. Sorry not sorry but their not worth the hassle.
Can't get away with paying below the livable wage anymore! Maybe gen z will allocate even half of the wealth boomers hoard with their cushy upbringing and no understanding of economic hardship
Hi there, I'm with a television network and would love to speak with you further regarding this topic. Do you have an email or another social media page where I can message you and explain further?
Reject the offer for the company the company isn't offering anything other than a job. Which that person came in and inquired about. This is the job this is what it offers take it or leave it
Boomers got high paying factory jobs with just a high school diploma, when we’re expected to get a 4 year degree to have the most basic jobs we have a right to feel entitled
Offering free food isn't as simple as it sounds because unlike older Generations Gen z's probably wouldn't be content with a generic square meal . Many have specific requirements like a vegetarian vegan or paleo diets and will only eat organic yada yada yada . I do calorie restriction and wouldn't touch free food unless the calories and portion size were very precise and transparent .
Not on the level he‘s talking about. You may have STARTED in the work force, but not yet with a level of experience that would make you an employee rather than a trainee. So 2019 or 2018 should be about accurate.
Gen Z went through the pandemic and realized wow what an amazing time. Masks to cover my social anxiety! WFH to cover my inability to have in person experiences. This is the generation that formed their brains by spending all day indoors, watching other people play video games online. And they whine anytime they are told "these are the rules".
It's not just that. It's that what many employers offer simply isn't enough to live a standard life. Living thrifty and with much frugality paycheck to paycheck isn't normal, that's not on the employee to figure out, that's on the employer to treat them like they're a human being. My grandparents and parents tell me what work was like for them, they weren't treated like robots, yet Gen Z is treated like robots every single time we step into an office and are forced to stay there. So it's not that we are young and know better, we actually do know better, but in the sense of knowing when things were better for everyone, regardless of their age.
@@tylerwerthmuller2005 No. It's a generational thing. I was working at a company where Gen Z new hires were starting at over $100k, plus generous stock grants, plus basically ALL of the things suggested in this ted talk... and they still whined about everything. It is a work ethic thing. They do not have it in them to just put in the work before demanding perks. It's pure entitlement. Gen Z in the office is the "waste time chatting on Slack all day" generation.
@@GGoAwayy sure, there might be a few bad eggs in there. I can definitely see that many are just entitled even if they have enough. I know many hard working Gen Z employees, in fact they learn faster and work harder than many gen x or boomer employees. So again, maybe it's the treatment like a robot and not a human being. It's not necessarily what the job offers in terms of how it benefits life, it's what the job is like when you're working it too. That goes for everyone, nobody wants to stay at a job where overtime is continually mandatory when you have a lot going on in life, we are human after all.
@@Mikey-gr5mq thanks for proving my point. Telling someone they’re out of touch is quintessential ad hominem. It’s a response directed against the person instead of the position.
Employment is a contract between a company and an individual (even if it's at will). The employer will provide a set of compensation in exchange for the employee's promise to perform a set of tasks during a certain period of time. If you want to sleep in - find an employer with acceptable hours to your liking. If you want an employer to be your mom and bake cookies for you - go work for Nabisco. The entire purpose of currency is to allow people to store the transfer of your time and assets into a tradable form. The more complex and personalized a system becomes to "barter" an employment contract, the less like the employment will last. I believe that the new employee workforce needs to accept that compromises will need to be made just as much as companies need to realize that you cannot monopolize the majority of an employee's time. The direction of this Ted talk seems to be a very professional delivery of an unprofessional subject.
This is a nightmare, Gen Z wants to be treated like human beings. Feed and give them control over their schedules, lol. You mean treat people like adults and give them access to necessities. 😂😂😂 What’s next? We want more bathroom breaks. Treat all employees like functioning adults not replaceable machines!!!!!
Hmmm.. normally hard work gets you promoted this is entitlement gone crazy … please AI come quickly and replace these gen Z jobs… this speaker is not doing a Good job promoting gen Z work Ethics… after this speech who wants them…
Move over millenials is a terrible way to start your presentation when the millenials just aged into the part of their lives when they can start to fix the things you are complaining about. As if millenials caused this or want to continue it. Try waiting for them to fix it before you decide it's your turn.
This is nothing new. I'm Gen X and we've been treating our multi-generational work force in this way for years. The difference with Gen Z is the lack of stamina, the lack of grit when the work gets tough and the constant look for dropping accountability and responsibility as they want as easy life as possible. Not to mention the entitlement, no matter what you're offering and giving, they believe they're entitled to more. I'm more than keen to train up the next generation as it helps to bring in a more diverse and inclusive work culture and it also helps with long-term growth, development and planning. But they need to remember they are employed to deliver a service not just because the employer is feeling benevolent!
What's funny is when Gen Z were babies I could tell parenting trends were going to raise the worst generation. I forgot that eventually I'd have to work with them someday.
Hi there, I'm with a television network and would love to speak with you further regarding this topic. Do you have an email or another social media page where I can message you and explain further?
Young people with little to no experience trying to tell the employer how to run the company. This way of thinking is very on brand actually 😂. This is nothing new when it comes to people in their early 20s and think they know everything. I have a better idea. Outperform your peers in order to earn a top level position so you can make those decisions. Until then, decide whether you want a paycheck or not. You're always free to seek something more suitable to your entitlements. You might run out of options but, good luck.
@@imanigordon6803 this conversation is probably more specific to people who know the difference between employee and employer. Your ceiling seems a lot more like retail store clerk so no need to assume anything I said applied to you. Go easy on those prescription meds 😂.
Dear mr orator...you really can't serious in thinking this is only Gen Z needs? Also, you don't own a business, it can be easily proven you lack experience handling a firm. You must be the mindset that the only jobs you can find are huge corporations. Really? Just turn around and see how many are small/medium business. It's really "that easy' just to give foood everyday, beside the fix costs to keep a business. Gotta burst your bubble but a lot of things you mention have high costs! A corporation MIGHT be ok with it. Small business? you must be delusional! All I get from this video is "me me me me" (or we we we we). Such a contribution, if you follow these steps you wll retain Gen Z so they work. Call me crazy, but isn't that implied that you as an employeer ask someone to actually...WORK? Employeer trades money for employees skills and time. This ain't new.
Hi there, I'm with a television network and would love to speak with you further regarding this topic. Do you have an email or another social media page where I can message you and explain further?
Hmmm..you seem to talk too much about "flexibility" - if Zoomers don't like to remain with companies that dictate how they should work (simply because every company has their OWN CULTURE) - that's lack of flexibility in itself. If zoomers don't want to adjust to what Reality offers them for the sake of survival - that IS lack of flexibility. What's happening here is that zoomers want Reality to adjust to them - they want everyone to be flexible for them - while the zoomers themselves don't want to be flexible and make necessary adjustments to their psychology and sociology. These challenges that Reality provide are meant for humans to learn and make better versions of themselves. Zoomers just want to rot in themselves...while the rest of the world goes on with life. The world and Reality aren't here to pamper you, narcissists...
Summed up:
- Flexibility (WFH, hybrid, what time they work and don't work)
- Office space (free food or food gift card if staying late), in-office social events
- Assigned seats
- A way/path to grow in the company and towards their ambitions (ie. mentorship program)
- Promotion criteria (let people know what is required and how long it takes for promotion)
- Time for passion projects or do it together

@@GGoAwayy I can say the same thing about boomers and other generations. Almost like it's a people thing, not a generation thing. Denseeee
Ted has fallen off. Maybe look at why they’re leaving entitled I think personally and I’m a Gen Z.
just wait for the unemployment rate to get back up
There are plenty of Gen X looking for work and we actually work hard.
😂😂😂😂😂
Yall can't even open an email
@@Mikey-gr5mq Good luck getting a babysitter for a boss. There will be fights for those few jobs and low pay. Have fun paying your bills.
@@Mikey-gr5mq ??? That’s millennials. Gen X was in HS when email was invented. All we had on the computer was emails.
@@ravencrow1953😂
Gen Z is the movie Idiocracy in action.
Sounds like you're out of touch
@@duko3000 classic ad hominem attack, honest question, did you water your plants with Brawndo this morning?
@oldhollywoodbriar you clearly don't know what ad hominem means 😅
@@oldhollywoodbriar classic debate bro response.
@@Mikey-gr5mq thanks for proving my point. Telling someone they’re out of touch is quintessential ad hominem. It’s a response directed against the person instead of the position.
These kinds of work ethics won’t last in healthcare!!!
Employment is a contract between a company and an individual (even if it's at will). The employer will provide a set of compensation in exchange for the employee's promise to perform a set of tasks during a certain period of time. If you want to sleep in - find an employer with acceptable hours to your liking. If you want an employer to be your mom and bake cookies for you - go work for Nabisco. The entire purpose of currency is to allow people to store the transfer of your time and assets into a tradable form. The more complex and personalized a system becomes to "barter" an employment contract, the less like the employment will last. I believe that the new employee workforce needs to accept that compromises will need to be made just as much as companies need to realize that you cannot monopolize the majority of an employee's time.
The direction of this Ted talk seems to be a very professional delivery of an unprofessional subject.
God Help Us. “It’s all about me”
Did you watch the Ted talk, boomer?
God turned his back on boomers long ago. They were the first to say that.
It is you make money from us 😂
Feel bad for anyone looking for help now days... Good service has gone away.
Feel bad for the employees who aren't paid enough to afford groceries. Yall boomers had it good with no merit
@@Mikey-gr5mqTrue. I know a retired boomer who bagged groceries as his only job. He paid off his house and accumulated a nice retirement fund.
@@monk4everI've heard too many such stories
What a lazy wish list.
Gen Z have gen Z needs, so gen Z is now creating business for gen Z. Maybe everything is fine.
Give Gen Z what they demand, and they still just whine about everything.
@@GGoAwayy Nah, only vvomen do that.
@@monk4ever Your mom.
Fire em
I’d did and won’t go near them again
I’d interview the parents first.
If yall wanna quit...quit. its your future 🫠
Yeah when we quit we get paid more on the next job so it benefits us
This guy hasn’t told me what they can do for me, just what they want
Ive had a few jobs in the last five years with them. They are awful co-workers absolutely awful work ethic and entitlement
Gen Z's are greedy generation.
🙄
5:10 maybe you should go to bed earlier if you’re waking up tired 🤷♂️
Maybe you should learn how to open outlook
@@Mikey-gr5mq you’ve clearly learnt the edit button to correct your mistakes!
@@MPH1982yes, because I'm savvy.
This is a nightmare, Gen Z wants to be treated like human beings. Feed and give them control over their schedules, lol. You mean treat people like adults and give them access to necessities. 😂😂😂 What’s next? We want more bathroom breaks. Treat all employees like functioning adults not replaceable machines!!!!!
Gen Z needs = A job where they don't have to work.
This guy knows nothing. Consulting firm lmfao fake business
When you're hired from time-to-time be everyday for the week there is no flexibility for you that is a set schedule you flex around that
Your life sounds miserable
Average video! It is an ask from all employees and some are really lame requests!
Hmmm.. normally hard work gets you promoted this is entitlement gone crazy … please AI come quickly and replace these gen Z jobs… this speaker is not doing a
Good job promoting gen Z work
Ethics… after this speech who wants them…
God forbid a livable wage like the boomers got.
If a speech can convince you this quickly, then you are weak.
Grow up.
Food😂😂😂😂
These are terrible.
Mental health breaks. Bwahahaha. This generation is a riot.
Woof
The worst TED talk I've ever listened😂
Gen Zers... Digital savviness ?? 😂😂🤣🤣
Internet addiction.
This kids never had a real job 😂
Well they are kids...
@@Mikey-gr5mq No, Gen Z ... you are not kids once your grow hair down there.
@@monk4ever you know some gen z are only 13 years old right
@@ravencrow1953 I think they'll be fine. At least they can work a computer
Move over millenials is a terrible way to start your presentation when the millenials just aged into the part of their lives when they can start to fix the things you are complaining about. As if millenials caused this or want to continue it. Try waiting for them to fix it before you decide it's your turn.
I’m a boomer, heavy sigh
Bunch of whiny sjws 😂😂😂
He lost me at he needs his beauty sleep. It's called Work not play
This is nothing new. I'm Gen X and we've been treating our multi-generational work force in this way for years. The difference with Gen Z is the lack of stamina, the lack of grit when the work gets tough and the constant look for dropping accountability and responsibility as they want as easy life as possible. Not to mention the entitlement, no matter what you're offering and giving, they believe they're entitled to more. I'm more than keen to train up the next generation as it helps to bring in a more diverse and inclusive work culture and it also helps with long-term growth, development and planning. But they need to remember they are employed to deliver a service not just because the employer is feeling benevolent!
What's funny is when Gen Z were babies I could tell parenting trends were going to raise the worst generation. I forgot that eventually I'd have to work with them someday.
Good for them! They won't be sheep like yall
@@Mikey-gr5mq bless!
Hi there, I'm with a television network and would love to speak with you further regarding this topic. Do you have an email or another social media page where I can message you and explain further?
@@khemitxwe’re not sheep 😂
It's all about the pronouns. Respect their delusions!
I refuse to call them "they."
@@monk4ever I actually used it correctly as a plural. But I get your (second person singular possesive) point.
@@monk4ever you realize people have been referring to cis people as "they" too? Do you understand the English language?
Young people with little to no experience trying to tell the employer how to run the company. This way of thinking is very on brand actually 😂. This is nothing new when it comes to people in their early 20s and think they know everything. I have a better idea. Outperform your peers in order to earn a top level position so you can make those decisions. Until then, decide whether you want a paycheck or not. You're always free to seek something more suitable to your entitlements. You might run out of options but, good luck.
What a miserable way to live. 🐑
@@Mikey-gr5mq Very insightful response. Thanks Skeeter.
@nikivory6891 glad I could help you understand reality!
@@nikivory6891employees realize you job hop to make more money hence you lose talent if you don’t cater to young workers 😂
@@imanigordon6803 this conversation is probably more specific to people who know the difference between employee and employer. Your ceiling seems a lot more like retail store clerk so no need to assume anything I said applied to you. Go easy on those prescription meds 😂.
We're screwed. These snowflakes dont want to work
Dear mr orator...you really can't serious in thinking this is only Gen Z needs?
Also, you don't own a business, it can be easily proven you lack experience handling a firm. You must be the mindset that the only jobs you can find are huge corporations. Really? Just turn around and see how many are small/medium business.
It's really "that easy' just to give foood everyday, beside the fix costs to keep a business. Gotta burst your bubble but a lot of things you mention have high costs! A corporation MIGHT be ok with it. Small business? you must be delusional!
All I get from this video is "me me me me" (or we we we we).
Such a contribution, if you follow these steps you wll retain Gen Z so they work. Call me crazy, but isn't that implied that you as an employeer ask someone to actually...WORK? Employeer trades money for employees skills and time.
This ain't new.
Hi there, I'm with a television network and would love to speak with you further regarding this topic. Do you have an email or another social media page where I can message you and explain further?
Hmmm..you seem to talk too much about "flexibility" - if Zoomers don't like to remain with companies that dictate how they should work (simply because every company has their OWN CULTURE) - that's lack of flexibility in itself.
If zoomers don't want to adjust to what Reality offers them for the sake of survival - that IS lack of flexibility.
What's happening here is that zoomers want Reality to adjust to them - they want everyone to be flexible for them - while the zoomers themselves don't want to be flexible and make necessary adjustments to their psychology and sociology.
These challenges that Reality provide are meant for humans to learn and make better versions of themselves. Zoomers just want to rot in themselves...while the rest of the world goes on with life.
The world and Reality aren't here to pamper you, narcissists...
