Hold my beer Gen Z says to Millennials when it comes to being hated by employers...

"Bosses are firing Gen Z grads just months after hiring them"
"According to a new report, six in 10 employers say they have already sacked some of the Gen Z workers they hired fresh out of college earlier this year."
"Employers' gripe with young people today is their lack of motivation or initiative—50% of the leaders surveyed cited that as the reason why things didn’t work out with their new hire.
Bosses also pointed to Gen Z being unprofessional, unorganized and having poor communication skills as their top reasons for having to sack grads.
Leaders say they have struggled with the latest generation's tangible challenges, including being late to work and meetings often, not wearing office-appropriate clothing, and using language appropriate for the workspace."
"Michigan State University is teaching students how to handle a networking conversation, including how to look for signs that the other party is starting to get bored and that it’s time to move on."
I'm shocked I tell ya. I figured growing up with your face stuck in your phone would have been good for learning how to have a basic conversaiton with another human.

I see they have met my 14 year old.

Read that article this morning, and this really stood out-

Gen Z is legitimately worse with computers than the average boomer. It's remarkable, really, but the iPhone dumbed down technology to Fischer-Price level.

Im genuinely shocked that the "bosses" know they are GenZ. Usually, all Boomers call everyone under the age of 50 a millinial

But gen Z has an important commodity more that previous generations and that is time. Hopefully they use it to get better in life. Lord knows none of us was perfect at their age now.

I don't know that it is an attribute of an entire generation, but I have noticed that many people entering the professional workforce are incredibly lazy, lackadaisical, and unwilling to make sacrifices to achieve personal excellence. They take no pride in their work or their careers. It's the first group of people I've ever encountered in professional life who don't believe in either diligence or merit. It's as if some of them genuinely think that they are entitled to high compensation without any effort or exceptional quality. If they don't get it, they band together and whine about some imaginary grievance, rather than improving. Just odd. There are still individuals of all ages who work hard and want to be excellent in their fields, but it seems rarer than it was ten years ago.

Yep. We have like a 20-year age range that can operate Excel and the like efficiently.
I also think young people's communication is horrid. I do a lot of Reddit scrolling, and it is wild to see these massive run-on sentences with no punction separating them.

It will probably also shock you that many of the bosses are millennials or Gen X.
Also, I don't think genually is a word, baw.

Sounds kinda like gen x back in the early to mid 90s TBF.
ETAto the downvoters would you like to actually refute that gen x was not called a bunch of aimless slackers back in the 90? Or that it was a pretty prevailing cultural theme at the time?

We have hired two Gen Zers recently. While they are both hard workers and pretty self-motivated, their lack of how to behave in an office is what gets me. I was in a closed door meeting with my boss (our president) the other day and one just throws the door open and starts talking. Just little things like that...time will tell if they work out.

At this point, the generational differences are stark enough to make the distinction.
My wife and I are millenials, and we both have to work constantly with college students/Gen Zers.
We tell each other that it's comforting to know that we'll always have job security, because basic communication skills and punctuality is a fricking struggle for many under the age of 25. Just showing up and doing what is outlined in your job description without being a drama queen now makes you an exemplary employee.
And yes, it's because our education system and culture are broken.

Literally every generation has this said about them.
Boomers were the laziest, least professional and whiniest employees ever when they started working in the 60s.

Bad parenting is the main culprit

All of that shakes out to a lack of accountability.
And you know what, I don't blame the kids.
Why? Because this is the first time in their life that anyone has ever held them accountable for anything.
I fully blame their parents, and to a lesser extent, school administrators and politicians.
Social promotion. Turning in papers and being guaranteed a passing grade. Parents not disciplining their kids. Parents yelling at teachers when students misbehave. Parents calling teachers to ask for extra time for kids to turn in an assignment, and losing theri minds when the teacher tells them no.
Meanwhile, schools have such bizarre phone policies that it begs the kids to keep their nose in a phone every waking moment that they are "allowed" to.
Meanwbile, the college class of 2024 - the recent hires - spent the most formative years of their life - the time graduating high school and starting college - stuck at home with a damn face mask.
Anyone with a brain - and any idea of how professional life works - saw this coming a mile away.
Just because schools and parents don't enforce accounability, doesn't mean the workplace won't as well.

It worked with their parents.
It worked in high school.
It worked in college.
Makes sense to them that it works in the professional world. It's worked every other time they tried it.
