Study: Gen Z make difficult employees

[Fajita Jim]

This issue has been discussed in a few different topics lately, but since I read this article today I figured I'd give it it's own thread this time.

Apparently, Gen Z are spoiled brats. What say you, Gen Z?

Three-quarters of bosses find Generation Z workers a trifle difficult, a corporate survey has found.

A poll of 1,344 managers and business leaders by ResumeBuilder.com found that 74 percent consider Gen Z employees more challenging than older staffers.

Pressed for specifics, employers did not mince words.

“They think they’re better than you, smarter than you, more capable than you, and they will tell you to your face,” said Akpan Ukeme, head of human resources at SGK Global Shipping Services.

...

On the brighter side, employers have found that Gen Z staffers report to work brimming with ideals and ambitions.

“Compared to other generations, I find Gen Z to be highly innovative and adaptable,” said Adam Garfield, marketing director at Hairbro. “They are not afraid to challenge the status quo and bring new ideas to the table. They also value authenticity and transparency and expect companies to be socially responsible and ethical.”

Maybe I agree, but it doesn't mean much considering the corporations themselves you work for usually are even more vile in those regards. (especially HR, HR is the worst, they're disliked for a reason by pretty much everyone).

I think everyone can learn to be a bit more humble.

Gen X kinda felt us Gen Y were a little spoilt.

This is Gen Z, at least in America.

The ones who have long family roots in America: Want livable wages and to be able to buy a home without needing a bunch of roommates. Willing to do jobs that can pay fairly but there are less now that more people will work for dirt and with more people houses cost way more as well as cars resulting in them taking a job that makes them unhappy.

The ones who have no family roots in America: Works for less and makes things more expensive. Willing to do any kind of work for minimum wage and millions come every year. They also all need a house and car.

So younger people behave like young people? That's all I'm hearing

There is an incredibly easy way to show that someone is better than you, smarter than you, more capable and all that jazz.

Start your own business and prove it!

Until then, flip those hamburgers and shut your piehole.

This way You don´t get the employees. At least in a working system without forced dependencies - and more freedom. All i hear in the OP is that they´re doing what people should have done way before - instead of just saying "Oh no. If i have to turn the hamburgers instead i will rather do what You say and accept any conditions You dictate towards me." which brought us to this position now, when the last 2 generations messed everything up the generations before them fought for.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t have nor plans on having kids.

Absolutely! And loving it!

Actually, when I used to work I did have employees on more than one occasion.

And when health returns after a few decades out of the workforce I will have them again not too far from now.

In my world there is no talking. There is no social media. There is no virtue signalling...

Nope.

Either you perform or your butt hits the pavement.

That's it.

Generations get crapped on by endlessly, it is the failure to have any self responsibility from adult making judgements to those that follow in their footsteps, bad leaders, moronic sense of self entitlement and the rubbish spewed is by those who lack education in understanding how the human mind works and how growth affects and changes over time.

As a Millennial I was one of them that did not fit the stereotype and was similar to the silent generation who worked for two years for no profit graftng then joined the army, then came out, worked in public service then into IT.

The stuff you read online is just bait to manipulate you, steer clear of it.

dunno, most of the unreasonable, annoying, incompetent, rude, and entitled people i've met were gen x or older

Sounds about right... no arguments here and I didn't even need a "Study" to know it either...

P.s.- "brimming with ideals and ambitions" doesn't make up for wisdom and experience...

[Raelic]

Good for them.

Employers these days make difficult employers.

That´s okay. You can have it as You want. Also sounds like nice work atmosphere full of enjoyment of work. Some prefer this, some prefer something else. Whatever works best for the people...

[Xero_Daxter]

They say gen z is struggling. Well I have news for you. I make 100,000 dollars a year by laser cutting metal. c:

We need a study to determine kids don't make the best employees? Lol.
